BAND REORGANIZATION.

An effort is being made to resus-
citate the band, and number of the
old members are taking up their horns
again after a long silence. There was
a time when Oroville could boast of
a band that had few superiors in the
northwest. For some reason not
known to the general public members
lost interest in the organization and
1t went to pieces. To keep a band
up to high standard requires con-
slant and consistent practice. The
man who goes into a band must cal
culate upon giving much of his time
to practice. He who has not the stay
ing qualities should never attempt to
take the part of band musician.
Each instrument has it's part in MAX
ing up harmonious whole, and the
member who loses interest, neglects
practice, and makes little effort to
perfect himself is contributing to the
speedy dissolution of the band. No
attempt at reorganization should be
made unless the membership is made
up of permanent residents, who are
willing to make some personal sacri-
fices in order that the band can be
made a fixture and a credit to the
town. If sufficient number of per-
formers can be collected together who
will stick, and endeavor to work up to
the high standard attained by the old
band by all means let the organiza
ton go on. The citizens as body
would be pleased to see the band re-
ni2c. and would extend to it every
encouragement

AN OLD SALT.

Saturday man named Beezy Johns
left Oroville for the purpose of join
ing the battleship Oregon. For rea-
sons of sentiment it has been decided
by the powers that be that the Oregon
shall be the first warship to sail
through the Panama canal, when that
big ditch is ready to throw open to
navigation. The selection was made
as commemorative of the great voyage
the Oregon made at the breaking out
of the Spanish-American war, when
the mighty engine of descruction. un-
der the gallant Bobby Evans, steamed
from San Francisco around the Horn,
reaching Cuba at the right moment to
take part in the descruction of the
Spanish fleet After the Oregon had
been selected to do the Panama canal
act the happy idea struck the navy
department to man the vessel as far
as possible with the same crew that
served in her when she made the cele-
brated long run. Beezy Johns was one
of that crew that helped to make hist
ory in such sensational manner
Since the fight at Santiago Johns has
been knocking around the world, do
ing nothing particularly good for him
self. He has of late been in British
Columbia mining camps working at
mining and posing as an expert He
left here joyfully to join his old COM
rades in arms to take part in what will
be the last public act in which the Ore
gon will hold the stage.

RAILS REACH BREWSTER
Work on North End of the
Oroville- -Wenatchee Line
Nearly Finished
COMPLETED BEFORE WINTER
All the Activity Confined to the
North End. No Rail Laying
South of Methow River

Rails on the Oroville-W Wenatchee
day, the link connecting Oroville with
the Columbia river is welded. although
not sufficiently strong for the present
to be OF practical use. Still steel has
touched the one objective point, and
within IA few more days work trains
will be steaming into Pateros. 1t will
probably be the first of the year be-
fore trains will be operating between
Oroville and Pateros. A pile driver
is still at work on the Ophir bridge,
and that crossing will not be open
for regular travel for six weeks. The
road bed is still to be ballasted be-
fore trains can run over the line, al
though that work will be completed
by the time the bridge is finished.
Construction has recently taken a
squirt on the branch on the strength
OF instructions from those higher up,
which accounts for increased activity.
A. l.. HILL engineer in charge, received
orders last week to get track laying
finished before the approach of winter
and under those instructions put spurs
to his gang with the result that rails
were laId as rapidly as the work could
be done by hand. While this evidence
of renewed life exists in this county
there is no indication of construction
going on at the south end. Carpen-
ters are putting in bridges along the
route, but otherwise no effort is being
nisIte to close the gap between tiie
Chelan river and the Methow There
is little hope that any construction
will be done on that section of the
read until next spring
There is one feature of the COM
pletion of the branch between Oroville
and Pateros that our people cannot
look upon altogether with compla-
cency. With the finishing of actual
construction Oroville will lose several
excellent citizens. 1t is true they are
only temporary residents at best, as
they fit from place to place as their
presence is required by the contract
ing firm and engineering department
of the railroad, here today, elsewhere
tomorrow, yet during their stay in
Oroville they have made many friends
who Will regret the necessity of their
departure. We refer to Messrs HILL
Miller, Foster and others connected
with the engineer crew and the con-
tractors office. With the completion
of work on this end of the branch
| their presence will be needed else
where, and by the first of the new year
| they will be located in some new, if
| only temOrary. home. 1t is the hope
| of their acquaintances in this place
| that future railroad building will re-
| quire their coming again to Oroville.
| and possibly by that time the town
| Will be so large as to hold out induce
ments for them to locate permanently.

A SUCCESSFUL DANCE

With the evidence of the big attend
ance at the dance last Friday evening
all that this paper said as to the pop
ularity of dances given under the au-
spices of the Altar society is verified.
The large store room in the Odd Eel
lows building was too limited to COM
fortab'y accommodate the crowd. 1t
was jam, and dancing became
humping tournament, more conductive
to eXertion than pleasure. The supper
was one of the best that has ever been
served at a public entertainment. The
Altar society was well paid for the
trouble connected with arranging for
and managing this successful social
affair.

Stanley Evans was over from Loomis
Tuesday and turned over 25 head of
beef cattle to Fred c. Hart & Co., the
local meat purveyors. By securing
this bunch of steers the home market
will be provided with the very choic-
est meat procurable, as the animals
are in AL condition. The Thanksgiv-
ing meat that will be on the block in
Oroville will be as good as anything in
the meat line sold in the state this
year. The efforts of our local dealers
to supply the best the market affords
is commendable and will be fully ap-
preciated by consumers.

WHERE WILL YOU HAVE
CITY PARK LOCATED?
Citizens Come F Forward With Offers oI
Sltes-City May Have Choice Of
Several Properties

Mayor Lockerby's recommends
ton in his inaugural address for Sc.
curing public park or playground
is one that is finding no small meas.
ure of favor, both with the public
and with the city fathers themselves.
The suggestion has been acted upon
already and two sites are being con.
sidered,, with prospects of several
more in the near future.
G. E. Hanson has offered a plot
Of ground on the banks of the Col.
umbia in the Garden Tracts, just
opposite the Banta residence, at a
figure that is considered reasonable
Mr.. Kraft has made an offer of a
tract near the Northern Pacific
bridge east of town for a park site.
1t, too, has splendid view of the
river.
There is no doubt that others will
be offered in the near future, and
the council will have the choice of
practically any portion of the city,
in which to make location.

SWINE BREEDERS OF
VALLEY GET TOGETHER
Much Interest Shown at First Meeting
Officers Elected and Committee
Appointed

About thirty ranchers gathered at
the City Hall last Saturday after
noon and organized the Kennewick
Valley Swine Breeders Association.
R. E. Pratt was elected president,
F. H. Lincoln, secretary treasurer
and committee consisting of G..
M. Annis, DR.. Davidson and G.. E..
Finley was appointed to prepare a
constitution and bylaws to be con-
sidered and adopted at the next
meeting which is to be held at the
Commercial Club rooms, Saturday,
February 1st.
The good attendance and the in
teresting discussions which came up
during the course of the meeting
are sources of satisfaction to those
who were most interested in getting
the local breeders organized. The
matter of raising or buying cheaper
grain feeds to balance the alfalfa
ration came in for considerable dis
cussion and it seemed the general
opinion that the question of the
breeders profit hinges largely on
this point.
Among those who addressed the
meeting were Messrs. Pratt, David
son, Puderbaugh, Grassland, Cosper,
Koontz and Finley.

GO HOME At EIGHT, SAYS
CITY COUNCIL TO KIDS
Curfew Law to be Rigdly Enforced
in Kennewick Hereafter-Penalty,
Arrest and Fine

Children are to be kept off the
streets and alleys and all public
places in the evenings after, say,
eight O'Clock, hereafter. A petition
was read before the members of the
city council last Tuesday night from
the women's clubs of the city ask
ing that the curfew law be enforced,
or, if there was none, that one be
drafted. The city fathers, when
their attention was called to the
matter, were heartily in favor o1
keeping the minors off the streets al
night. AS result the laws in this
regard will be rigidly enforced in
future.
The town of Kennewick had such
an ordinance, forbidding children
under sixteen years of age to be on
tthe streets or in public places unless
accompanied by their parents OF
guardians after seven O. clock in the
winter months. Mayor Lockerby
is of the opinion that the hour
should be placed at eight the year
round, with a little lee-way in the
long summer nights.
Several complaints have been
made by parents and others that
the children were allowed too much
liberty in the town, and as re-
suit the ordinance committee has
been ordered to prepare new act
to fill the present requirements of
the city. In this regard too, the
city feels the need of an adequate
alarm, since we have no fire whistle
or other method of giving notice.
1t is likely that such an one will be
provided in the near future.
The penalty Of arrest on account
of violation of the curfew ordinance
will be enforced. A fine of not less
than one dollar or more than five
can be imposed by the police mag
istrate.

HOVER OFFERS STREET

H. A. Hover appeared before the
city council Tuesday night asking
that the city accept a deed to a
street seventy feet wide and three
hundred feet long in the Anon ad.
dition. His deed also included an
alley forty feet wide at the rear of
the lots.
He asked that the city accept the
deed on behalf of the owners of the
property in the district affected by
the road, as at present they had no
egress from their property, except
over private property. No definite
action was taken.

FARMERS ARE
TO EXPERIMENT
Local Growers Will Get Together
to Work Out Problems in
Practical Way

With soil and climatic conditions
greatly different than those found
in any other irrigated districts. and
with the many problems still as far
from being solved as when they first
confronted the farmer of this region,
a large number of the farmers of
the local community have decided
to get together and organize a So
ciety which will take up in a sys-
tematic order, the solution of some
of these problems. The manner in
which the society proposes to get at
some of these problems is as follows:
AT some time in the near future
a meeting will be called, at which
any person interested in the grow
ing of any certain crop will be sup
posed to present the problem which
he wishes to have solved. There
will be large number of problems
such as: Improving early varieties
of strawberries, growing extra early
melons for early markets, growing
early garden vegetables, growing
forage rations for dairy COWS, grow
ing fattening rations for hogs, the
home growing Of seed potatoes, the
breeding up of a strain of field corn
for the community, and other prob
lens too numerous to mention.
Persons interested along any one of
these lines will be given that par
ticular problem to experiment with.
The experimental work will then be
carried on along three lines-the
improvement of soils for that par
ticular crop; the improving by Sc
lection, of the variety now grown;
and the selection and breeding up
of better varieties.
The advantages of the above
scheme, as compared with the long
and indefinite methods as employed
by experimental farms, is that the
work will be conducted in prac-
tical way by the farmers themselves.
1t merely requires the growing of
your regular crop in the best and
most economical manner which you
may devise. With large number
working along different lines the
best and most economical system of
crop production should soon be
reached. The only real requirement
for the experimenter is that he be
a man who is willing to try to help
himself. After he does this the
pldu 10 W udSO Vic ulcGllOuS dtlO tllo
results of each successful experiment
published in the local press, thus
benefitting the entire community.
There are many problems to be
solved, much work to be done and
much to be gained in the work. A
meeting will be called in the near
future to organize the society and
get the work started. Select your
problem, present it at the first meet
ing and come ard be a leader in
the work.
With our soil and climate we
can grow anything in Kennewick." F"
The question is: What should we
grow and how shall we grow it?
