COICE TOBACCO.

maker who may be considered an au-
thority on tobacco. exhibited at this
office Saturday several punches of par
TALLY cured tobacco that was grown
on the j. NJ. Norris place south of
town. He declared the Pennsylvania
tobacco to be as choice in color, tex
ture, flavor, aroma and quality of leaf
as any he had ever seen, and he has
handled much of the PENNSYLVANIA
article in his time. This tobacco must
go through further sweating and cur
ing processes before 1t can be worked
up into commercial goods. This will
require treatment extending over
two or three months. Mr.. Killian will
force the finish as rapidly as is COM
patable with the proper handling of
the leaf, in order that thorough test
of the burning and smoking quality of
the weed can be made before planting
time. II the cigar manufactured from
the home product proves to be all that
Mr.. killian has every reason to expect
the extent of land planted to tobacco
on the Norris place will be much
greater next year than was devoted to
that purpose as an experiment last
season. Moreover If the tobacco
proves to be commercially valuable
tobacco raising will speedily become
an extensive and profitable industry
in this part of the Okanogan valley.

TO FIGHT THE TURKS.

From all over the United States ma
tives of Bulgaria and Greece are leav-
ing for Europe with the aim of enter
ing the service of their country In the
war against Turkey. Oroville con-
tributed one recruit in the person Of
Johinni Colillo, a native of historic
Greece who left Thursday to cross the
big drink and throw himself into the
ruck of battle. If what is told of Col
lilo is correct, the Turks are due for
a bunch of misery when Johinni turns
himself loose. The story goes that
Francisco Colillo, who is employed
in the railroad Yards, and has
become pretty well Americanized, sent
to Chicago for his brother, Johinni, to
come out to Oroville and take job
at railroad work, forwarding the nec-
essary piasters for the journey. JOHN
nj arrived in the course of time, and
was cordially taken in by Francisco.
1t was not long before Johinni gave
occular evidence that peace troubled
his mind, and that whenever he was
peeved his first act was to dig out a
knife from it's hiding place about his
person. Francisco was constantly

SEARCHING FOR GOLD

Some days ago large well drilling
machine was unloaded at this place
overhauled, reloaded on a fiat car and
taken on up to Chopaka. The appear
ance of the machine started much
speculation, but those in charge knew
little of the purposes for which it was
to be used, or If they did they were as
mum as the machine itself. 1t has
been learned that the well drill was
shipped in from Seattle by F. H. Os-
good and VIM. Willis. These gentle
men are not in the we'll drilling busi-
ness. They had another object in view
when they assumed the expense of
shipping in such bulky piece of ma
chinery all the way from Seattle, and
it has been ascertained that the pur-
pose is to thoroughly propect the
shores and bed of the Similkameen
from the international line to the falls.
1t is placer gold that they are looking
for. That part of the Similkameen
river over which investigation is now
being made was worked, and
worked profitably. for gold over so
years ago. Since that time little pla-
Ger mining has been carried on along
the stream, although prospectors have
"oOu luC pan anu CTdulc IFOIl tlI1o TO
time in perfunctory manner Gold
has always been recovered, but not in
sufficient quantities to encourage
steady working, or to create a repeti-
ton of the stampede of '56. Messrs
Osgood and Willis are going at it sys-
tematically to determine If gold is
present in value sufficient to pay for
working on an extensive scale. Holes
will be drilled to various depths in
different places and the cores careful
ly assayed. If the promoters of the
enterprise are satisfied with the re-
suit they will formulate and adopt
plans to extract and save the gold,
working on scale that will pay the
operators. Messrs Osgood and Willis
are now stopping in Oroville, going
to tn scene of operations every day or
two, closely watching the work and
noting the results. If they are salts
fled there will be something doing
along the river in the way of mining
that this country has never seen be-
fore.

~lA RUN OF DAMPNEsS.

Whenever there is a run of weather
monOtOnous in its similarity, whether
hot or cold. wet or dry. the inhabitant
becomes impressed with the idea that
never before was there anything like
1t in this latitude. This is to be ac-
counted for from the brevity of the
memory, and there is always some an
cient inhabitant to quote season far
back in the musty past where it was
trifle worse and more protracted
than the sample the people complained
Of. Recently this locality has been
soaked and resoaked by almost con-
tinual rains. The water supply above
seems inexhaustable, and everything
has become oOzy, and Shiny, and be-
draggled under lowering, glum and
gloomy canOphy. 1t Is little of the
wettest wetting this valley has ex-
perienced for some years. There will
be an end to it some time. but at this
season 1t is likely to freeze up as tight
as drum, and that is not desirable
AS protesting will not curtail the
quantity of moisture this section has
coming 1t Is just as well to make the
best of 1t. and look forward cheerfully
to change for the better.

WORKING THE PARALLEL

Monday Tom Stanton started in to
do the annual assessment work on the
4Sth Parallel mine. and work may be
pushed ahead vigorously during the
winter. If development could be con-
tinued on scale commensurate with
the prospects on the claims there Is
every reason to believe that by spring
the Parallel would be in a position
either to ship to a smelter, or make a
showing to encourage the installation
OF treatment plant nearer the base
OF supply. The 49th Parallel is situ-
ated on Kruger mountain in excellent
company, as 1t is in close proximity
to the Lake Dividend, Golden
Chariot and other mining properties of
the same class, but possibly not SO
well known. There is an attractive
exposure of ore on the 49th Parallel
and the ground has been pretty well
prospected with shafts, tunnels, cross
cuts. and such means as are taken to
open up ore bodies. The ore carries
strong values, and the volume seems
to be very large. Like other neighbor-
ing holdings showing evidence of min
eral value the problem of transporta-
tion has stood in the way of returns.
Wagon haul to the railroad, with rail
haul and treatment costs at the end
ShaveS down the net returns from
even high grade ore to such figures as
do not justify continuation of that
method OF securing revenue from the
output. To attempt to work and ship
under such handicap Is like giving
away the best that comes out of a
mine, and few operators care to con-
tinue the system. Eventually, as deep
er workings on these holdings shows
the permanency of the lodges and val
ues, the railroad will build spur to
the Kruger mountain district, or bet
ter still capital will be found to sup
ply means of treatment nearer at
hand. or course there must be ire
fragable evidence of large ore bodies
before the enormous cost of Installing
a smelter would be entertained by men
of capital, for it costs vast amount
of money to build and equip a plant
of that kind, and after once ready to
fire up the expense of operation Is an
item of large moment. Smelters are
not built on mere prospects. The min
eral must be in sight in quantities suf-
ficient to insure steady running for a
long series of years. That day may
come for the Kruger mountain miner
al zone, and the mineral bearing coun-
try surrounding, but until that time
operators will have to depend upon
long hauls to reach treatment plants,
and content themselves with the resi-
due of the returns after the rake off
from freighting. treatmenat and Incl

AMONG THE FIRST.

Joe Lenton. who owns over 300
broad acres on the top of the hills
overlooking the Similkameen valley,
hugging the International boundary
line, a short distance north of Night
hawk, spent last Friday in Oroville.
Mr.. Lenton can lay claim to being the
oldest, or close to the oldest, resi-
dent of that part of the county, w. H.
Mcdaniel having the best of 1t in the
date of arrival by small margin. He
came in from Spokane in 1884, just
after the eighteen mile strip along the
line was thrown open to mineral en-
tries, and located shortly afterward
upon the land he still occupies. He
had been employed by mining COM
pany for a long time in California
prior TO his going to Spokane. and it
was the lure of the hidden treasure
that attracted him to this section, that
even in those early days was supposed
to possess great mineral wealth, an
impression fostered and spread by the
late Okanogan Smith, through whose

TO SELECT TOWN OFFICERS.

The mayor has called a mass meet
ing of the citizens of the town for this
Saturday EVENING" in the town hall,
for the purpose of nominating candi-
dates for the various offices to be filled
at the town election, that is to be held
December 3. This is the customary
method of nominating candidates in
this place, but from the contests in the
past it is plainly evident that people
who take part in such caucuses do not
consider themselves bound by the ac-
tion of the majority, for opposition
tickets are always in the field, and not
infrequently the opposition will win.
People should not put off weighing
the capability and availability of men
likely to be named for candidates to
the last minute, and then act hastily
when in convention. 1t is a time in
the history of the town when men
should be selected for Office on the
basis of fitness and intelligence. This
paper has no favorites. 1t wants only
to see men of ability and character Sc
lected, and it is hoped that the meeting
Saturday evening will exercise some
care and judgment in naming candi-
dates for the several offices.

A MUDDY THOROUGHFARE.

Main street Is in shocking condi-
ton. a disgrace to the municipality
and almost bar to travel. 1t is a
nasty lake of adhesive, sloppy mud,
impossible to pedestrians AMI treach-
erous to those compelled to drive over
it. The mass of dirty m1c< Is the re-
suit of dumping dirt taken from the
basement excavation of the proposed
new hotel. No one expected Euch a
condition to follow grading the streets
with this clay. On the contrary it was
the general opinion that it would pack
down and leave solid road way. No
particular blame can attach anywhere.
The authorities, with the endorsement
of the business men in that locality,
felt they were accommodating the
contractor, and the contractor was
glad enough not to be compelled
to haul the dirt any great distance.
How it happened is neither here nor
there, it did happen and 1t Is the state
of the highway that is bothering the
public If something Is not done to
remedy the condition it is going to be
worse before 1t is better, for bad as 1t
is now it is a macadamized road in
comparison to what it will be when
the frost commences leaving the
ground in the spring. Unfortunately
the town has no funds with which to
gravel the street. II shale rock or
gravel could be spread on the surface
now the substance would work in with
the clay and make solid and endur-
ing street. 1t would pay the business
houses along Main street to chip IN
and have two blocks graveled. Level
nm the street first and apply coating
of rock or gravel and the mud and dust
problem would be solved. If private
enterprise does not step IN ana make !.
the improvement it is doubtful II IL
will be done, as the town treasury Is iii
no shane to meet the cost.

cut out Of the then existing Indian res
ervation by the government After
gouging around the hills with indif-
ferent success for a considerable per-
iod Mr.. Lenton settled down upon the
piece of land that had caught his eye,
securing both a homestead and pre-
emption claim. He was married at
Spokane, his future wife meeting him
at that city, which was then not very
much of city, by prearrangement
Mr.. and Mrs. Lenton Immediately re-
turned to the homestead after the
wedding, and Notwithstanding it was
far out of the civilized world, with
neighbors few and very far between,
Mrs. LentOn was satisfied with her
surroundings and has never COM
planned of pioneering. Mr. Lenton has
not become millionaire on his hill
home, but he has never felt want, he
has always been happily contented
with his lot, and is in comfortable
circumstances. By close application,
steady life. and cheerful willingness
to work he has built himself up a neat
and pretty home and is pleasantly sur
rounded. If all men made the best of
their opportunities, as Mr. Lenton has,
and were as contented in their sphere
of action and endeavor there would be
far less complaint and far more real
happiness in this world of ours.

TO THE VICTORS, ETC.

1t Is twenty years ago since there
was a general cleaning out of govern
ment appOintees to make room for the
adherents of triumphant democracy
No matter what may be the protests OF
reform prior to election, one of which
Is the retention of capable officials. the
slogan Of Ito the victors belongs the
spoils" Is faithfully carried out. We
have reason to remember the upheaval
of q score of years ago, because we
had to shake loose from the public
crib, and 1t was considered very
painful wrench at the time. That is
one Of the drawbacks to Office holding.
Just as one Is getting accustomed to
the work. and is enjoying the per-
quisites. he is rudely jolted off the
perch. We have been rendered Office
several times since that experience,
but one experiment at taking hold and
then letting go again after having lived
up to the salary Is too painful to un
dergD repetition.
