A SMALL BLAZE.

That ancient citizen, Jimmie True.
worked up an excitement for the resi-
dents OF the south part of town last
Friday afternoon. Mr. True has r
large fGck of chickens, and It Is due
to that fact that he was the author OF
the sensation. Chickens, like fruit
trees, are victims of the insect pests,
and the insects were getting in their
work on Mr.. True's fowls. He re-
sorted to heroic measures to free his
feathered property from the bug evil
He applied coal oil to the nests, and
then match to the coal oil. It re-
quires no bright Imagination to pic =
ture what followed. It was the inten-
tion of Mr.. True to extinguish the
blaze when the lively little pests were
given a proper taste of hades, but the
blaze refused to be Quenched, the barn
ignited. and the surrounding popula.
tion turned out en- masse to save ad-
Joining property. An automobile was
secured and hose cart rushed to the
scene, but by that time the small
structure was erased. As no general
alarm was turned In knowledge of the
conflagratiOn was confined to the
neighborhood where the experiment OF
eradicating insects was carried into
execution. The bugs were surely elm
mated. but at considerable expense.

AN ENGINEER SECURED.

There was an especially interesting
meeting OF the directors OF the East
and West Okanogan Valley Irrigation
districts in Oroville Tuesday, and it
proved to be as important to all con-
cerned as it was interesting as bearing
upon the speedy beginning of cOnstruc-
tion and the eventual success of those
projects. The chief object of the ses
sion was to reach definite conclusion
as to the closing of. "a contract with a
competent supervisory engineer. and
that end was reached to the entire
satisfaction of all concerned. The man
who has been chosen to have direction
of construction is Marvin Chase, and
with due respect to all other appli-
cants for the contract it can be said
a better choice could not have been
made. With Mr.. Chase at the head of
the enterprises as engineer and sup
erintendent those directly interested in
the success of the projects and the
public generally equally interested in
seeing water put upon the valley lands,
can rest assured that the work will be
done right. Mr.. Chase made the di-
rectors a proposition some time ago.
and at the Tuesday meeting those
terms were accepted. He was notified
by wire of the decision of the meeting.
and Mr. Chase will probably be here
in a few days to close contract.

cation engineer and constructor OF ir-

4 GOOD EXAMPLE.

c. G. hedger has purchased couplh
of lots in the Ellis-FOrde Lake View
Orchard tracts, just east of town
through Dell Hart. Usually 1t is
strangers who secure the choice fruit
lands in any district where fruit is
made specially, and the stranger Sc
cures the reward that comes OF en-
HANGED values under improvement.
1t is a real pleasure to note that the
people of Oroville, appreciating and
taking advantage of the opportunity
of getting hold of fruit lands at rea-
sonablc figures. are buying tracts with
the object of improving. When these
lands reach the value that other fruit
lands in the state have attained, 1t will
be the home people who will be bene-
fitted. The fact that local residents
are investing goes to show that the
land is worth having. and they realize
it is only a question of short time until
the land will be worth three or four
times what was originally paid for II.
Every man who possibly can do so
should secure few acres of irrigated
valley land In a few years those
few acres will be worth big money ii

MAKE 4 NOTE OF 1T.

Monday morning the local creamery
shipped to Spokane 1880 pounds OF the
high grade butter that is making the
Oroville creamery famous. This is not
a biased utterance growing out OF
home loyalty. The butter turned out
by the Oroville creamery is of brand
deserving of any and every enconium
that may be uttered In its praise. That
man Friis knows how to make high
class butter. and having the habit
makes no other kind This mention OF
butter shipments leads up to the sug-
gestion that the people Of Oroville who
consume the condiment should con-
fine their consumption to the home
made article. There are not many
lines of home made goods to boost for,
but what are made at home should be
purchased when purchases are made.
Just keep this in mind, not only on the
butter question. but when YOU want n
choice cigar, or nobby suit OF clothes.

4 PAYING INDUSTRY.

Geo. S. Henderson, connected with
the Washington dairy and food de-
partment as state inspector, spent
several days in Oroville and the neigh
borhood during the week, sizing up the
few herds in evidence and familiariz
ing himself with prevailing conditions
along dairying lines. Mr.. Henderson's
work carries him all over the state.
He states that the dairying industry
has become very important source
of revenue on the west side, and could
be made profitable here. What is
needed here is a higher standard OF
cattle He is of the opinion that when
the valley is under irrigation, and
abundant food can be readily provided.
dairying will be more generally en-
gagged in, and it will be found
means of money making. It is field
for eftor. that should be occupied, and
the farmer will find it worth while to
secure blooded cattle and engage in
dairying, even il it is side line on a
small scale

that the Okanogan valley Irrigation
projects will be carried out as near a

completed as expeditiously as possible
in conformity with frst-class work
