IMPROVING THE WATER SYSTEM

Last Thursday afternoon the town
council held special meeting for the
specific purpose of considering the
advisability of installing steel water
pipes to cover the territory in the
east part of town supplied through
wooden mains, laid by the old and or
iginal water company from which the
system was purchased by the town
authorities when a municipal plant
was decided on some three years ago.
The council was almost unanimous
In reaching a speedy conclusion, with
the result that steel piping is to be
substituted for he present unsatis-
factory service. An order was at
once placed for the necessary mains.
and the work Of putting down the
same will commence as soon as the
pipe is delivered.
The old wooden service pipe extends
from the railroad water tank, the
source of water supply when the
system was in use, the chief main ex-
tending west on First avenue. From
that main artery laterals were ex-
tended north and south, with no con-
tinuOus connecting links, SO that there
were dead ends at the termination of
each of those laterals, at which points
the water frequently is hardly fit for
use. The new plans will not follow
the lines of the old system. A four
inch main will be laid east on Central
avenue to Bridge street. and north on
Bridge street to the bridge across the
Okanogan river at the creamery. The
old system covered much ground
where there existed no consumers.
Under the proposed plan only the
built up residence district will be sup
piled. When the demand exists a
main will be extended out First av-
enue, connecting with the Central av-
enue main along cross streets, thus
giving an unbroken water circulation.
The proposed improvement will
meet with the hearty approval of res
idents within the section to be served
and will add to the desirability OF
that locality as place of residence
One OF the largest sources of revenue
to the water department comes from
the section covered by the old system

A SIGN OF THE TIMES

The new order of things that seems
to come into existence whenever a
town commences rubin" off the moss
and taking on new life developes
young hustlers, or rather attracts that
class of live wires, and whenever they
come to the surface it is indicative
that a town is on the move. Oroville
is enjoying that kind OF experience
just now and the pusher has made
his appearance in the land. Among
others who are contributing toward
the cheerful change is Homer w.
Noyes, recent arrival who has taken
up the produce brokerage business.
His presence and activities are bene-
fetal to the producer, and while he is
helping them and himself primarily
he is incidentally spreading the gospel
of Oroville, thus contributing mater

a CORRECTION

lew weeks ago this paper pub
sished notice from the Wateryille
and Office announcing that certain
factlonal townships in the upper
art OF the county would be open tor
'ntry in July, and through an over
light at the land office in making up
he list, or a mistake of the composit-
n in setting type, an error crept in in
very important feature of the notice,
and that the description of the land
to be opened for entry. The notice
rs published read sections |, 10, 13
and the north half OF "a, township 80
north, range q @. W. m." Now resi-
dents on those sections in township
'S. range 27, believed this to be a
mistake and appealed to this office
TO have it rectified if mistake it was.
\ letter was at once forwarded to
Register Haynes stating the case, and
the following answer shows that an
,rror had been made in the first pub
read 80 instead of 80:

BIG CEMENT PLANT

E. P. Gaillac, formerly a business
man of Chesaw, and now one of the
prosperous coal barons of Princeton,
spent last Friday night in Oroville on
his way to his British Columbia coal
possessions. Mr. Gaillac reports that
the big cement plant at Princeton is
ready to commence business, and has
contracted with his mine for the de-
livery of 100 tons of coal month.
This is one of the largest and most
complete cement plants in the north
west, upward of half million dollars
having been spent before the institu-
ton was ready to turn wheel. All
of the buildings, and they are enor-
mously big structures, are of stone
and the machinery is the best and
most complete that is manufactured
for the purpose. 1t is understood that
the plant has orders ahead for all the
cement it can turn out for the next
twelve months.

BIRD MAN FOR THE It'll

The 4th of July committees nave
been delayed acting in the matter in
getting out publicity stuff advertising
the celebration, held up getting a line
on an aeroplane contract. That very
important feature has been about ad-
justed, and the large bills will be out
in a day or two. The promoters of
the celebration have been conscien-
tious about making representations
that could not be fulfilled, and did not
propose to mislead the public by
promising something and then fail in
the end to carry out that promise.
They will enter into a contract with
an experienced aviator who has made
over 60 successful flights, and who
has just received a large new Curtis
machine, the standard in use in the
navigation of the air. 1t was nee
essary to test out the machine with
private trials before attempting to ap-
pear in public, and before signing up
contract guaranteeing an exhibition
Ihe frst test was very satisfactory.
The final test is to be made today
word received from the aviator We'd
nesday was to the effect that there is
hardly possibility of failure, and q
telegram will be forwarded to the
Oroville people as soon as this official
test is made. 1t is safe to promise
at this time that flights will be made in
Oroville on both the 4th and 5th The
committee has succeeded in securing
this great attraction only at heavy
expense, but the aim at the start was
to make the forthcoming celebration
the greatest ever held in the county,
and that is what it is going to be-

Word was received at this Office the
latter part of last week that Judge E.
x. Pendergast had received a patent
for the tOwnsite of Loomis, thus bring
ing to final end one of the longest
drawn out controversies over land
title that is of record in eastern Wash
ington. 1t is presumed that title will
soon be issued to lot holders on the
townsite, and after many, many years
residents can at last feel secure in
their possessions.
brief sketch of the history of the
Loomis townsite muddle fits in at
this time very appropriately, and may
be interesting reading to those who
have located in northern Okanogan
within late years. Loomis derives it's
name from A. j. Loonlis, one of the
first settlers in that vicinity, and for
long time was generally known as
Loomiston, until the postoffice author

The writer first visited the locality
in May, 1888. There was no evidence
of a town at that time. A. j. Loomis
and Guy Waring held ranch in the
valley adjoining the present town to

construed Cat that time) mining laws
MIR. Loomis conduced a store on the
Sinlahekin creek, in log building
still standing. Mr.. Loomis subse-
quently went insane, dying in the
Medical Lake asylum. Mr.. Waring is
still resident of the county, living in
the Methow valley.
The discovery of mineral on Palm

piece of ground to be found in the

proper location for the town. With
the finding of more mineral bearing

mill, and the fiowir~ in of business
men, prOspectOrs, adventurers and the
hangers on who chase up mining

into lively minino camp, supporting
seven or eight saloons two dance
