ROME, Italy June 6.-The Ameri-
can commission on agricultural CO.
operation which has been in this city
investigating systemcs of agricultu-
raj credit AID cooperative produc-
ton and marketing, left here today IN
five groups to study conditions with
regard to special crops.
One of These groups headed by COL
]. Shelby Williams and Clarence Gus
alley, of F.. Worth, Texas, has gone
to Egypt to study methods of financ-
ing and marketing the Egypt cotton
crop The Egyptian bale OF cotton
has been accepted as the worlds
standard, and It is well known fact
that American cotton growers are
losing large sums of money as a re-
suit of their failure 70 properly bale
and grade their cotton. 1t is even
claimed that in the United States one
half of the real value of the cotton
crop is lost 10 the farmers through
poor selling methods, and lack Of fl
nancial facilities In Egypt the gov
eminent has established the Bank OF
Egypt, which has done much to as
sist the cotton growers of that coun-
try in the important task of financ-
ing their crop. The subcommittee
will secure a complete report on the
workings of this institution. The
Egyptian methods of baling, grading
and marketing their crop will be
closely studied. This sub-commis-
sion will rerain in Egypt until the
middle of June according to present
plans. They left Rome armed with
letters of intlC6uction from the Bank
of Rome and other financial institu-
tons.
A second subcommittee left for the
south of Italy and Sicily to study
fruit raising and marketing methods
of that section.
Three sub-committees have gone to
the north If Italy, and at FLORENCE
will separate to study the three sub
jects of rural credit banks, land cred
lit or mortgage institutions, and CO.
operative societies for producing and
: marketing farm, products, principally
the cooperative diaries of the north
4 of Italy which have made great
: strides in recent years.
This division into subcommittee

TUBERCULOSIS SANITARIUM

]. H. Ehlers, of Spokane, spent four
or five days in town during the past
week, having frequent interviews with
business men on the proposition of
establishing a hospital at this place
to be devoted exclusively to the Fried
mann tuberculosis cure. 1t is con-
ceeded by all that if such hospital
be established here, and cures per-
formed, or even relief given, 1t would
be a very valuable adjunct to Oroville,
not only individually as means Of
advertising the place, but directly in
the fact that many individuals and
their relatives and friends would be
attracted here to secure the treatment.
While Mr.. Ehlers met with some en-
couragement, it was not general and
spontaneous, and it was impossible
to secure large attendance at a
meeting where the subject could be
freely discussed. When he left he did
not feel sufficiently encouraged to
promise that hospital would be To-
Gated here. 1t is a matter worth look
ing into carefully by the business men
of this place, and If found to be what
it is represented plans may yet be
made to secure such an institution
for Oroville.

place a squirt. The moving on of the
railroad created other trading points
IN the immediate vicinity, thus cutting
down the territory from which Daven-
port formerly derived a large support.
In the earlier days the land was large
iy IN the hands of the original locaters,
and nearly every quarter of a section
had an occupant. Wheat was the
staple article grown, and 1t was soon
realized that 1t required large acreage
TO make wheat growing profitable.
Men OF means gradually absorbed the
land, consolidated it into large hold
lngs, and where there was formerly
dozen people to cloth and feed there
Is now but one or two. Then the
automobile and railroad put Spokane
within easy reach of the town. and II
Is weakness OF too many to patron-
ize outside merchants, and that drew
much trade from home dealers. All
OF this is responsible to a greater or
less degree for the complaint of dull
times at old Cottonwood Springs, now
davenport, that is so frequently men,
TONED by people from that place. BY
some 1t is intimated that since the
days that Davenport went dry business
commenced falling off, but that NAV
be only an argument without founda-
tion advanced by the wet forces who
are feeling sore that the saloons were
banished from the burg.

IN A SORRY PLIGHT,

among the items to be found in the
last issue of "The County Blotter," a
weekly publication containing all the
court house records issued by the Oka-
hogan County Abstract company. are
some that attention is called to with
great deal of reluctance. But the
matter is public property now, and
nothing would be gained by passing
the circumstance up without comment.
Reference is made to a string of liens
placed upon the Golden Zone mine for
wages due men employed by the Grace
Development company, an organiza-
tion now holding the Golden Zone
under contract to purchase. The
amount of money the company owes
runs up into several thousand dollars.
This is a disappointing, ,deplorable and
regrettable position for the company
to be in, especially at time when the
ore exposure is greater and superior
in quality than at any period since
work first commenced on the original
locations. This mention of the exist
ence of this favorable showing is not
based upon reports coming through
the owners, or manager, but is a COM
mon statement made by men working
in the mine. who would have no object
in misrepresenting or exaggerating. A

A CAPABLE INSTRUCTOR

The teacher secured to take the place
made vacant by the resignation of Mr..
Porter. who taught here last year. is
William E. Courtnay. 1t was known at
this Office some time ago that Mr.. Court
nay had been engaged, but at request
mention of his name in connection with
the vacancy was withheld. From the
reputation Mr.. Courtnay enjoys as an
instructor and manual trainer the Oro-
vile school directors were fortunate in
deed in securing him as a member of the
teaching staff. The only experience he
has had as teacher in this county from
which his ability can be judged was a
term in the Indian school at st. Mary's
Mission From there, and from those
who know him, only words of the most
fiattering praise are to be heard. Indians
may be more tractable than. white child
ren, yet If he has anywhere like the
same success training the scholars of the
Oroville school as marked his record al
st. Mary's Mission by spring the local
school will be able to boast of the best
set up and most thoroughly trained stud
ent body to be found in any of the public
schools of the state. Mr. Courtnay is moi
only an instructor but he a gentleman

MISCELLANEOUS SHOWER

That is what took place at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. j. F. Samson on Tues
day afternoon. The shower was given
for Miss Florence Mills by Mrs. Opal

attended, but the young lady was the
recipient of great number of hand

and necessary to housekeeping, a re-

The rooms of the Samson home were
most tastefully and attractively dec

TheLake View-Dividend Nine
Forwards Four Cars to
the Smelter Monthly
ORES CARRYING GOOD VALUES
A Tributary Resource That Will
Be Strong Factor In the
Upbuilding of Oroville

Ore is being hauled to the railroad
from the Lake View-Dividend mine in
the big auto truck. 1t does not come
down from the mine in a steady
stream. The object of the operators
is to deliver sufficient tonnage to be
able to ship one car week to the
smelter. From the size of the lodges
being worked a sufficient force could
be put on to get out material to ship
car load, or more, each day, should
the company so elect, but the COM
pany knows it's own business and is
moving slowly but sure. What the
returns are from the ore delivered to
the smelter has not been made public,
as it is none of the public's business
The company is chiefly interested in
the value feature, and the company
must be satisfied or the hammers and
drills would be hung up and shipments
cease. 1t is stated that few days ago
the workmen cut stringer that as
sayed far up in the hundreds. The
extent of this strike Is not known, but
it would not have to be very wide
shoot to run the average values into
stiff figures.
From the persistency with which
those back of the property are continu-
ing exploration and the removal of
ore it Is evident that every indication
encourages the prospect that the Lake
View-Dividend is going to make pay
ing mine. Should 1t so turn out the
Preeoi'o~ ~--s----.-oal- mine so close to
town would have strong contribu-
tory influence in the upbuilding of
Oroville. The reclamation of the
valley land is a very important OBJ
ject, and would have a wonderfully
favorable bearing on the future Of this
place, yet there would be swifter ac-
tion and more immediate benefit from
one or two actively producing mines.
1t is not claimed that producing mines
would be more permanent as a factor
in town building, but for immediate
results a few money making mines
close to Oroville would make irriga-
ton look like lame and hating
method of getting returns in the way
of public improvements. But why dis
cuss the advantage of one source over
another, for 1t now looks as though
Oroville was to enjoy the good that is
to come from both extensive irriga-
ton and profit making mining
ventures.

MOUNTAIN AIR PANACEA


Hugh Gibbon spent Monday night
in Oroville on his way to his home at
Riverside. He is not returning to that
place to stay. Mr.. Gibbon, who pass
ed through here some weeks ago look
ing for work at some of the mines,
secured position as blacksmith with
the Nickel Plate mine, at Hedley, and
be is stationed high up among the
clouds on the mountain where the
workings are situated He was en-
thusiastic in his praise of the brac-
ing atmosphere at the altitude where
he is living. When he secured the
job Mr.. Gibbon was nervous, run down,
had lost his appetite and was feeling
punk generally. He is now as full
of ginger as bird dog hot on the
trail He considers the transforma-
tion verging on the miraculous, and he
proposes to stay with his job so long
as he can hold it. The object of his
trip to Riverside at this time is to get
his wife, baby and household traps
settle down at the Nickle Plate for the
winter, and extract all the good pos
sible out of the upper air.

A PAYING MINE.

The Hedley Gazette states that the
output of the Nickel Plate mine at
that place, up to the end of July of
this year has been $5.1O4,372.S7. This
Is one of the best paying mines in the
west. 1t is fully equipped with all
modern machinery and large cyanide
treatment plant, and has been paying
dividends, good fat dividends, annually
Tor dozen years. Less is said about
the Nickel Plate, and less is known
about the mine and it's product. than
probably any paying mine in the
northwest The reason for this is
that the Nickel Plate is owned by in
dividuals who are not hawking stock
IN the market. They have a mine and
they know it. There is no call for
raising money for operating expenses
The mine turns out money monthly
and all the owners have to do ia to
spend 1t, not an unpleasant pastime.

Neither is 1t believed that an imagin-

dominion is a cleverage in the forma-

are to be found in this section of the
west, yet 1t is felt that when depth
Is obtained on a number of promising
properties, now in various stages of
development, other paying mines will
be made in this locality, considering
Hedley to be within the limits of this
vicinity.

NOT THE SAME OLD TOWN

Louis Kirchner, an old time resid-
ent of Davenport, where he was very
successful in the meat market line,
came in Monday with the object of
purchasing the local butcher shop.
He arrived just a few hours too late,
as a sale had been made, and he re-
turned home Tuesday morning very
much disappointed. or late years Mr..
Kirchner has been farming, and was
anxious to get back to his old trade.
He reported that from business point
Davenport is not the town 1t was a

could be attributed to two causes,
the proximity to Spokane, where many
people insist upon going to do their
trading, and to the fact that the land

E.Campbell, who has been acting man
ager since the present company took
charge, has been very much embar-
rassed by the failure of his company
to come through promptly with the
necessary funds to meet operating ex-
penses, and being directly on the
ground has had to shoulder much of
the condemnation of those holding
claims against the company. He has
made every possible effort to prevent
the necessity of placing leins on the
property and meet the accounts as
they fell due, and no little persona.
sacrifice in order to keep work going.
He feels satisfied that the company
will liquidate every claim before it
gets into court, and will keep on open
ing up the mine at depth and treating
ore.
From what has already been ac-
complished in the way of DEVELOPMENT
and from the extent and character of
the mineral exposure in the Golden
Zone it would seem altogether improb-
able that those who have gone to so
much expense will abandon the prop
osition even temporarily. The opera
trs could not have hoped for better
results in so short time than have
followed the more recent prospecting,
for much ore has certainly been un-
covered. and moreover that ore carries
values sufficient to leave a large mar
gin of profit after treatment. The sit
uation is most unfortunate one, not
only because 1t has tendency to
throw suspicion upon what everybody
with any knowledge of conditions be-
lieves to be valuable mine, but 1t has
depressing effect upon other mining
ventures in the neighborhood 1t is
mistaken policy to begin mining on
large scale without a certainty of
being able to meet the large expense
attached to operations of that char
acter, for every failure through lack
of means to carry out undertakings of
this nature does great harm to the
district where such failures take place.
