BUSY At THE FRONT.

Mai. A. NJ. Anderson, right-of-way
hustler for the Great Northern, most
genial individual all the way through,
and there is a good deal of through
when it comes to measuring him
around, spent last Thursday night in
Oroville on his way to Spokane from
a trip to the front. He reports that
Guthrie & Co., the railroad contrac-
tors, are getting their camps in shape
for the anticipated crews of graders,
and that much of the rock work, on
the contract, and there Is lots OF 1t,
will be done this winter. There is no
question now but that the railroad will
get through so as to make connection
to the coast by next fall, which will
be of inestimable benefit to this part
of the Okanogan valley.

TO BUILD AN ORE BIN

The manager of the Lake View-Diy-
1dend mine has considerable work to
do besore the delivery of ore can COM
menos 70 the, railroad and shipments
to the smelter follow. The improve
ment of roads has required time and
labor, and then there must be an ore
bin supplied at the railroad so that
goodly quantity of ore can be as
sembled in order to keep shipments
going on steadily. This will entail
more work and expense, but it has to
be done and the company will not hes
itate in carrying out the well matured
plans. 1t is the intention to build a
bin at the point of the hill on the ex-
treme west edge of town with ca
pacity of 200 tons, which will be some
building. The foundation of the struc-
ture will rest on the level ground,
built into and against the side of the
hill. Then a road must be graded
around the hill at a sufficient height
to permit running the auto truck to
reach the upper part of the bin in or
der to dump in the ore. The railroad
has agreed to put in spur so cars can
be run under the shoots of the bin
This will be convenient an econom-
ical way of handling the ore, and it
will add very materially to the tonnage
going out of Oroville when the mine is
ready to ship steadily. There ought
to be some kind of local celebration
on the day the bin is filled and the
first cars of ore loaded for shipment.
for if the Lake View Dividend proves
to be a steady shipper, and that will
be the result if this experiment proves
n vi n IL l..,l. q
the mine on a permanent producing
basis will be one of the most fortunate
events that has ever transpired in the
vicinity of Oroville since the town first
came into existence.

TO THE LADIES.

The attention of the ladies OF Oro-
Vile and vicinity is directed to a not
ice published elsewhere in this issue
calling for a meeting to be held in the
Lyric theatre, next Friday afternoon,
for the purpose of perfecting the Or
ganization of a Civic Club. 1t is sim
cerely hoped that as many as can pos
sibly do so will attend and lend their
active and moral support to move
ment that properly conducted VIII
contribute in a marked degree TO the
Improvement and consequent benent OF
the town. Probably there is no means
that can be taken that would so aid IN
beautifying the town as through the ell
forts of the membership of an organl-
zation of this description, and there
are few towns that stand more in need
of the influence of a Civic Club than
Oroville. Okanogan presents good
example of what can be accomplished
by women set upon doing something
in the civic improvement line, LOT
there is not a cleaner, neater looking
small town to be found anywhere. by
united and combined effort CIVIC
Club can be made a great factor for
good in a place, and work wonders.
II will involve no hardship upon lndl-
yidual members, as the work Will be
divided up so that all can shoulder
some of the slight burden and respon-
sibility. Indeed, there is no burden or
responsibility. Carrying out the plans
of the club becomes pastlme, Ia
bor of love, a pleasant recreation. Let
the ladies get together, formulate their
plan of campaign, keep the organlZa-
tion alive. and by this time next 1all
their admirable work Will be conspic-
uous through many changes lot the
better in the appearance of the town.

NJ. Z. BAZAAR.

The Ladies Aid of the NJ. E. church
of Loomis is putting forth great eff
fort to make their annual bazaar, to
be held on December 6, one of the most
successful ever held in this part of
the county. Last year was their first
attempt at holding a bazaar, at which
they did things on small scale. How
ever, those who were present know at
what rapid rate the articles for sale
were disposed of, and with what sue
cess the ladies efforts were crowned
This has inspired them to take on a
greater responsibility this year. A
very special feature will be the display
of dressed and undressed dolls of ev-
cry size. Will the people of Loomis
and vicinity kindly keep this date in
mind, December 6. and patronize the
bazaar for their Christmas gifts and
many useful articles

A SUCCESSFUL FAIR.

Quite a number of residents of Oro-
Vile attended the Riverside fair last
week, and were well paid for the trip.
Every visitor speaks in high terms Of
praise of the fair, reporting choice eX-
hibits and large crowd in attendance.
1t is a real pleasure to note the fact
that so many people went down from
here, but there should have been more.
However, the expense of the journey
is so great, where autos are used, that
few felt able to make the trip this year.
When the railroad is in operation
down the valley, which will be in time
for the next annual Riverside fair,
Oroville will be largely represented on
the grounds. Judging from the re-
ports coming in the fair was anyhow
one of the most successful so far held.

SURVEYING 4 BIG ROAD.

For some days a large party of Can

their mission was the surveying out a
