A WIRELESS MESSAGE,

Well, here We are again with an in
vitation for Rally Day, Sunday, Octo-
ber 9th. We will repeat an old pro-
gram. Something different. Can you
guess what we are going to have?
We want at least two hundred with
us. This includes fathers, mothers
and babies. All are invited.
Arrange to curtail your Sunday din
ner so that you will have no trouble
in getting there on time.
Room for outsiders? Well, we should
say so. There are any number of
people in Loomis and the vicinity
whom we want to get out that day for
we know if they once get a good start
they will become so interested that
they cannot stay away.
The way to grow is to help some
one else. Service for others is a pos
tive cure for that tired feeling" on
Sunday.
No, there will not be a dull minute
during the hour. Our music will be
happy as lark's song. Yes, we have
the class for you. Very well, meet us
at the church at 23O p. m, sharp.
Oh, you are quite welcome. 1t is a
pleasure to invite you, thank you good
bye. Loomis Congregational Sunday
School.

GOOD NEWS.

Word has been received through a
reliable source, a source that can hard
ly be questioned, that the contract for
the construction of the Great Northern
westward from COalmont has been
awarded to Gutherie & Co., and the
date of completion fixed for July 1st
of next year. 1t has been rumOred for
some time that the company was
about to let the contracts, and 1t is
safe to say that the word reaching here
is backed by authority. This announce
ment means that the line will be in
operation to tide water by this time
next year and the prospect of the real
izatiOns of this long delayed coast
connection should have a beneficial
influence in this valley, encouraging
investments and improvements. 1t
will give this section direct commune
cation with the large cities of the
Sound, opening up a near and very
desirable market for the products of
the Okanogan country. After almost
total inertitude for three or four years
this movement on the part of the rail-
road company will be pleasing
change for those who have been long
ing for the completion of the road.

SOME OLD TIMER.

II. L. Jones, postmaster at Riverside.
was visitor in OrOville Saturday. up
here on an excursion in the interest
OF the county fair. While here he in
terviewed j. Friis, the manager of the
local creamery, and as a result the
Oroville creamery may place among
the exhibits of the county fair large
quantity of the prime butter that is
making the home butter foundry ia
nous. This paper urges Mr.. Friis to
accept the invitation so earnestly ex-
tended, and insures him a fair deal
through the hands of the fair directors.
Blu. to get back to the visitor Tom
Jones. When is comes to pioneers
JOnesy has most of the old timers
crowded away back in the shrubbery.
Jones has been resident of the coun-
ty from period antidating the arriv-
al of the AstOr fur company. Every
body who has had occasion to jolt
over the stony road leading from Con-
cOnully out to the river remembers
the cOzy roof tree of the Jones family,
and the writer has feed sumptuously
at the well ladened table of the esti-
mable mother of the subject of this
sketch, in the years that have slid
down the grade and slipped over into
the past, as have many an other trav-
eler over the same route. Tom may
not have been born on the old home
stead, but he grew up there from boy
hood, and that boyhood Is far enough
back to make Mr.. Jones feel that he
is no longer a spring chicken. 1t has
been some years since the writer last
met up with MIR. Jones. and 1t was a
pleasure, real and unfeigned, to again
see and greet the genial gentleman.

AN IMPORTANT MATTER.

Oroville, Wash, Sept. 21 1912.
Dear Slr:-Sometime ago | received
hotice OF my appointment as a member
vi commission to prepare an exhibit
ol products from Okanogan County at
the Northwest Products Exposition to
De held at Minneapolis, Minn., Nov.
il-I3, 1917. under the auspices of the
Northwestern Development League.
The letter of instructions from the
secretary of the Washington State Ex-
hibit Commission is as follows:
AT recent meeting held in Seattle.
or the Commission appointed by the
Governor to arrange for suitable ex-
hibit to represent the state of Wash
ington at the Minneapolis Land show
to be held this fall, you were appoint
ed a member of the Commission to Sc
cure exhibits from your county.
Il wish to call your attention to the
TACT that all the Northwest States are
taxing an active interest in the big
show. and indications are that the sew
eral states will be represented with
magnificent exhibits of products of
the soil. In order that the State of
Washington may be properly repre-
sented 1t will require considerable eff
fort on the part of the members of
this commission to see that their par
ticular district is represented
THE principle object of this show is
to divert If possible the immigration
now going into Canada to the North
west. From recently compiled statis-
tics and data we find that the State of
Washington during the last year has
decreased in population some fifteen
thousand people.
1T occurred to me that If the people
of the East had any conception of the
wonderful advantages and opportun-
tiles to be found in the State of Wash
ington that this state would soon be-
come the greatest of those bordering
on the Pacific coast.
The Commission would appreciate
it very much II you would confer with
the secretaries of the commercial
clubs located in your county and in
duce the INTO put forth considerable
effort towards securing a suitable dis
play for this show.
"Mr X S Beaten, 500 Collins Blk.
Seattle, will have charge of the exhib-
it's west of the mountains, and Mr.. NJ
]. Vessels, of Spokane will take care
of eastern Washington.
Arrangements have been made
with the railroads to move these exhib
its to the assembling points free Of
charge, providing they ore assigned to
either of the above parties. and plain
ly marked, Exhibit Materia. for the
Minneapolis Show l.. NJ. BROWN,
Secretary, Walla Walla. Wash.
Since ! have not the time to look af-
ter the details of such exhibits as may
be sent from this county, ! take this
means of bringing the subject before
our people and request that they for
ward direct to M. J. Vessels, Spokane,
any suitable exhibits they may select
1t is a matter that should receive the
attention of the several commercial
clubs throughout the county.

FOLLOW SUIT.

The residents of LoOmis have Or
ganized Good Roads association with
the aim and object of securing better
highways for that locality. Officers
were chosen at the first meeting, and
much earnest interest manifested in
the movement The county commits
sioners have intimated that when such
organizations are perfected in good
faith, and responsible citizens are at
the head of it, the road money of such
district will be placed at the disposal
of the association for expenditure
where it. will do the most good. The
plan has its advantages, although it
might be abused should the Good
Roads organization fall into the hands
and become dominated by unscrupu-
lOus individuals. This may be dis
tant contingency, and hardly neces-
sary to take into consideration, as any
organization made up of local resi-
dents Is bound to have majority of
the membership that will insist upon
an honest and judicious distribution
of such funds as may be appropriated
for road work. Under the auspices of
such an association, interested in and
appreciative of better roads, money
would be spent to far better advan-
tage than under the system prevalent
for so many years in this county,
which, as is patent to everybody trav-
cling over the roads, has shamefully
failed in its purposes. 1t would be an
excellent idea if in every precinct the
example set by the people of Loomis
would be followed, and it is safe to
say that a betterment of the highways
would be apparent in very few years.
Why not the people of Oroville en-
brace the movement and organize a
Good Roads association?

AFTER DAIRY cows.

Otto Rhemke left for Wisconsin a
fortnight ago for the purpose of pur-
chasing two car loads of thorough
bred Holstein cows, which he expects
to dispose of to residents of this vi
cinity. The last heard Of him was
that he had found the cattle wanted
and they looked so good that he might
make it three car loads. Farmers are
slowly but surely learning that keep
ing dairy cattle can be made an i'm
portant source of income, and they
realize the best results are obtained
from a superior breed of stock. The
local creamery is prepared to take
much more cream than is now offered,
paying the highest market price, and
the rancher finds these monthly pay
checks very convenient. Mr.. Rhemke
saw an opening for introducing a su-
periOr breed of cows and he went east
to secure the right kind of stock to
fill this long felt want.

CHOICE CATTLE.

The Beeman brothers of Pine creek,
among the oldest cattle raisers in the
county, passed through town Sunday
with a drove of $50 head OF beef steers,
on their way to Nelson for shipment.
1t was one of the finest bands OF cattle
ever seen in the valley. The purchase
was made by outside buyers several
weeks ago, and the price paid was five
and ahalf cents, figures that have sell
dom been received by stockmen IN
this county. Since the deal was made
the price has taken jump upwards OF
half a cent With such prices FOR

from LOOmis last Friday evening and
left for his home Saturday. Mr.. Will

following is nine feet in width, as
stated above, in place, and is one of
the strongest and most attractive
veins so far found in that part of the
country. No more work will be done
this winter, but Mr.. Williams is so
well pleased with the prospects that
he will let contract for another so

mon is in shape rough spheroid,
weighs eleven and half pounds, is
composed of fine granulations fused
together in mass by the heat gener-
ated through friction in falling from
so great a distance, and has the ap-
pearnce of iron ore. We have the word
OF Mr.. McCammon that the ground was
plowed up for some distance, where
the stranger hit the earth a terrific
swipe' as it fell from space. 1t is sure
enough a meteoric stone, and has at
tracted much curiosity and attention.
1t Is at present on exhibition in the
window of the First National bank
and Mr.. McCammOn expects to put it
on exhibition at the Spokane fair. The
discovery of meteoric stones is not un-
common, but this is the first one that
has been found in this locality.

says the crop this year is the best
he has ever seen. 1t Can be set down
as the best ever raised in Okanogan
county, for prior to the date of his
first observation grain production was
negative quantity in this upper
country. Following such crop if
farmers can get anything like a fair
price for their grain the winter should
be prosperous one in northern Ok
