OKANOGAN GROWN TOBACCO

Dell Hart has an interesting and
unique display in the window of his
office. 1t is large and perfectly
formed leaf of tobacco and is a sample
Of thousand pound lot grown by
John M. Norris, jr., and ]. H. Buckles
on the Island Empire ranch one mile
south of Oroville. The leaf, neatly
mounted on glass, is beautiful speci-
men of the solacing weed. Mr.. Norris,
who with Mr.. Buckles operated a to-
bacco plantation in Cuba for six years
and who knows whereof he speaks,
says that the leaf grown on his place
here is the prettiest and most perfect
in appearance that he has ever seen.
He says that appearance, however, is
not an indication of quality and that
cannot be determined until the tobacco
has been put through the proper
sweating process. This is now being
done by J. H. Killian, the local cigar
maker, and the result of the test will
soon be known. II the home grown
product develops a flavor and a quail
ity that will give it a marketable value
there will be added another profitable
industry to this valley.

A RELIABLE PUBLIC SERVANT

Through the courtesy of Senator
Wesley L. Jones, who has taken an
active and intelligent interest in the
negotiations between the interior de-
partment and the Great Northern Rail-
way Co. relative to the extension of
the Oroville- Wenatchee line, the Ga
zette is enabled this week to publish
the correspondence that gives the ex-
act conditions of the agreement en-
tered into by the Great Northern in
consideration of an extension of time
on It's right-of-way. These conditions
appear to be positive enough and spe-
cific enough and their acceptance clear
enough to establish the fact that the
railway company actually means to
push construction to an early compile
ton this year.
Senator Jones also includes a COPY
OF letter written by himself to Judge
William c. Brown, of Okanogan, ex-
planning fully his own attitude towards
the granting Of the extension Of time
requested by the Great Northern and
the considerations that Influenced him
In his attitude. A careful reading of
this letter ought to convince anyone
that Senator Jones adopted the wisest
course open to him, and that by his
prompt action and the exercise of his
good Judgment he performed a very
great service for the people of this
valley.
Senator Jones has repeatedly proved
himself to be an exceptionally capable
and efficient representative of the peo-
pie of this state. He is always alive

WHERE'S MILES?

Is it not about time that someone
published lost, strayed or stolen no.
tice to discover the whereabouts OF
that valient champion of the people s
interests, Senator Miles c. Poindexter
So far as the people of this valley
know, the only members of our dele
cation in congress who are on the job
and ready to respond to a call for as
sistance are Senator Wesley L. Jones
and Representative VIM. l.. LaFollette
Not once during the agitation over the
extension of time to the Great North
|ern on it's right-of-way did anyone
hear of the presence in Washington
or anywhere else for that matter, OF
the honorable Miles. He might as
we'll have been representing Turkey
at The Hague as wearing a senatorial
toga as the grit of the people of
this state, so far as the effort
he put forth to lend a helping
hand in conserving the interests OF
the people of this valley is concerned
1t is evident that he either avoided the
issue or failed to realize that there
was an issue, and in either case he
gave nothing but proof of incompe-
tency.

to the interests and the welfare of
every section of the state and has new
er hesitated to accept the responsible
ity or take up the burden Of investi-
eating any proposition in which the
people of any section of the state were
interested, regardless of the geograph-
ical location or political Importance
of the locality. He has never been
partisan in his service, but has regard
ed himself as the representative of all
and every portion of the state. While
this is the only proper and correct
course for one in his position to pur-
sue, it has not always been the good
fortune of the state to have such a
representative at the National capt.
tai upon which they could so implicit
ly rely for responsive and sympathetic
service. 1t is such a refreshing ex-
ample of conscientious performance
of duty, that Senator Jones deserves
especial commentator.

AZTECS AT TENNESSEE FAIR

It is a far cry from the days of Mon
tezuma, but the Con T. Kennedy Shows
will bring the Tennessee State Fair
what many believe to be the only sur
viying members of the Aztec race. Hun
dreds of years ago the Aztecs peopled the
region now known as Mexico. They en-
joyed high degree of civilization and
controlled vast territory on tha North
American continent. Their rule vas de-
turbed by the invasion of the Spani lrls.
The story of the Conquest of Mexico is
a thrilling chapter in the history of the
Western world. II is miraculous that
Manager Con 7. Kennedy in assembling
his mighty amusement enterprise has
been able to secure the last surviving
members of Il race which once played an
important part on this continent. While
in Mexico last winter Manager Kennedy
was informed that two Aztec children
were living up in the mountains a few
miles from Chihuahua. He lost no time
In locating them and made arrangements
with the Mexican government to bring
the children to the United States for ex-
hibition purposes, obligating himself to
return them upon the conclusion of the
present tour. The Aztec children are
an educational feature, and will be on
exhibition with the Con T. Kennedy
Shows at the State Fair, September 20
to October A.

AGRICULTURE AT STATE FAIR

From the colonial beginning of this
country there has been some apprecia-
ton of the fact that our really big de-
velopment problems were agricultural
problems. For many years this appre-
citation was merely latent. After vast
tillable areas had been added to our pos
sessions, and as the possibilities of our
millions of fertile acres began to be un-
derstood, this appreciation increased
amazingly. Long since it has become an
active force in our national life. Today
men in all walks of life are studying the
farm, farmers and farming. Giant armies
are marching forward under banners
bearing such inscriptions as, Back to
the land" Improve your Seed" stop
robbing your SOIL" Rotate your crops, !"
Systematic your farm" Raise more
and better live stock" You can secure
Attenuation on all these subjects at the
Tennessee State Fair.

Wet weather seems to be the order
of the day here.
G. B. Barker gave r. j. White a
short call Sunday.
Mrs. Lorena White, of Tatesville,
made flying trip to So. Pittsburg to
the fair last week. She reported q

came and brought full baskets. The
table was 35 feet long and had every
thing good to eat you wanted. There
were 81 people ate dinner and there
was enough left to feed IS or 80 more.
Now, as Uncle Tom said some people
are too lazy to cook and bring a bas-
ket with them. They will go and eat
with other people but they won't
bring baskets themselves. Now, Un-
Gle Tom, / wish you had been here.
Everything went off nicely. Seems
like every body got out and enjoyed
themselves very much. They had a
nice singing in the morning and after
noon. Mr.. R. J. White was 81 years
old and Aunt Eliza White was ID
years old. Mr.. White got the blue
ribbon for eating the most. He surely
hasn't got the stomach trouble. Mr..
H. M. Layne got the premium for
drinking the most coffee. Mr.. Whit
ton Bryant got the premium for drink
ing soup. Rev. J. L. White said be
wished there was a birthday dinner
set every day as he certainly does en-
joy himself.
Miss Myrtle Turner sure did look
pleased Sunday.
Miss Lassie Lockhart was all smiles
Sunday. guess she saw her best fell
low.
Two men passed thru here Sunday
with calf that had six legs. 1t was
a wonderful object. There was one
leg on top of one of its shoulders and
it hung down two feet. 1t has three
front legs and three hind legs. It was
a show to everybody who saw it.

about over. There has been an over
plus of these episodes this year and 1t
