PLANT THAT IMPROVES SOIL.
The Sugar Beet Increases Yield Of
Other Crops.

How sugar bets improve the fertil-
ity Of the soil and Increase the yield OF
all crops grown In rotation with them
Is explained in the National Magazine
by Truman G.. Palmer, who has spent
the past ten years IN studying agricul-
tural methods IN Europe and America.
'The beet being a deep rooter,"
says Mr.. Palmer. "a prerequisite to its
culture IS that the soil be stirred to n
depth of ten to fourteen Inches. The
tender beetlet having to undergo the
shock OF thinning soon after 1t comes

place, Il demands a well prepared, mel

MAIL BY TRAIN

With the coming of July 1st will dis
appear another relic of pioneer days
in Okanogan county. On that date the
old established stage line down the
valley, that has been the means by
which mails have been carried for
years, and the only public means of
travel, prior to the construction of the
Oroville branch, will go out of COM
mission, and that stage line will here
after be but a memory of the slow,
plodding days of the past. Postmaster
Mills has received instructions from
the postofice department at Washing
ton to route all mail formerly carried
by stage down the valley, and that for
the coast, over the Oroville-W Wenatchee
branch, (mark that, the OROVILLE-
Wenatchee branch, recognized as such
by every authority under the sun ex-
cept the Wenatchee World), on and af-
ter July l, 1914. This will expedite
the exchange of mail to all points in
the valley, and inaugurate modern de-
livery. Slowly but surely great
changes are coming over this part of
the state and Okanogan is to feel the
change in greater growth and more
rapid DEVELOPMENT.

REMARKABLE SHOWING
Choice Ore Now Being Taken From
the Old Caaba Mine

The Caaba, situated on the west side
Of the Similkamcen river, short dist
ance above NightbaTk, comes nearer
being a real mine than any mining
property that has so far been worked
in this county, at least it is coming
nearer approaching paying mine
than any other holding in this district,
with most encouraging indications that
the paying stage is near at hand. 1t
is actually producing values and so
soon as the requisite power can be
supplied to keep the stamps running
at their full capacity the Caaba will
be delivering a steady and handsome
income. 1t is through the management
of J. l.. Harper that this old claim, that
has been awaiting a master mind and
a master hand for years, is now pro-
ducing ore in paying quantities.
Mr.. Harper is working a full crew
at the mine and running the ore thru
the old Nighthawk mill, the capacity
for treatment having been materially
increased. At present he is able to
treat only 60 tons per day. With
ample power 100 tons can be treated
every "a hours. The ore is being con-
centrated, and reduces about IL to
l.. He last ASSAY Vi luc concentrates
gives value in gold, silver and copper
of over $161 to the ton, and remarkable
to state the waste shows loss of only
A cents to the ton. Mr.. Harper states
that with sufficient power to keep the
mill running steadily he will be able
to clean up and ship 100 tons of con-
centrates a week. If the concentrates
average only 500 ton, that
would yield $4,000 per week, returns
that would place the Caaba among
the best paying mining properties in
the west.
There is a 16-foot ledge on the Ca
aba from which the ore treated is TAX
en-, and the ledge is exposed by shall
low openings at intervals for dist
ance of several hundred feet. There
is enough ore in sight to keep the mill
running for an indefinite period. The
ore breaks out easily and can be
worked cheaply. The ore is hauled
for distance of mile, or a mile
and half, from the mine to the mill

G. n. BOOSTERS

Announcement was made last week
that several members of the immi-
grafton bureau of the Great Northern
railroad system were expected to visit
Oroville at an early day, and that at a
meeting of the boards of directors of
the East and West Okanogan Valley
Irrigation districts H. II. Granger had
been appointed to extend to the, visit
ors welcome, and give them an op-
pCrtunity to see the valley and SIR
rounding country. That delegation
arrived Saturday. The delegation was

Kansas City, Mo-, c. p. Price, immi-
grafton agent, of Knoxville, Tenn, F.

men in hand, and he was assisted in
getting them over the country, and es-
pecially that part of the valley under
the proposed irrigation project, by his
associate members of the boards They
were driven around in cars ard given
i a chance to thoroughly examine the
whole country. The visitors were de-
lighted with the appearance of the val
| ley and the fruitfulness of the soil as
evidenced in the vigorous orchards and
productive farms they inspected. They
stated that the country far surpassed
their expectations, and they left Mon
| day to carry the news of this almost
virgin land of promise over broad
extent of the United Sta es.
| The visit of these gentlemen will
bear fruit in the way of an increased
immigration to the county within the
| next few months. They live in dense
lily populated portions of the country,

where opportunities for the man of
moderate means, willing to apply his
energies, are few and far between.
They come in direct contact with a
desirable class of citizens who are
looking for just such openings as the
Okanogan valley presents to better
their conditions. openings that do not
exist in the older settled states. These
Great Northern agents will carry the
glad tidings of the Okanogan to the
people of the middle west and the At
lantic coast. They can tell of the ex-
listing possibilities for the man with
the will to work, and speaking from
personal observations they can carry
conviction to the seekers after infor-
nation. The chief duty of these agents
is to start desirable homeseekers west
ward toward the land that awaits de-
velopment and after inspecting this
country they are prepared to lay be-
fore homeseekers information that will
arouse desire to get west get there
quick and fasten upon some of the
land while the getting is good.

OFF FOX WASHINGTON
The Final Move for Securing Irriga.
ton for This Valley

Saturday the land owners of the
East Okanogan Valley Irrigation Dist
rict voted as a unit to disincorporate.
Immediately petitions will be circulat-
ed favoring the incorporation of the
east side with the West Okarogan VAL
ley Irrigation District, and as rapidly
as all legal formalities can be carried
out consolidated district will be
formed embracing both sides of the
valley. No apprehensions are felt that
there will be any objections to such
reorganization.
Ernest Riste, secretary of the West
Okanogan Valley Irrigation District
has gone to Spokane, where he will
confer with e. C. Leody, head of the
immigration department of the Great
Northern, to arrange for the listing
and classification of lands in the pro-
posed re-organized district. This is
merely routine work, and the repre-
sentatives of the two parties at inter-
est will readily reach a satisfactory
agreement
Thursday Judge C. H. Neal and r. L.
Picken met in Spokane to arrange
with the holders of bonds already is
sued to meet payments foi the pre-
liminary expenses OF the two districts,
to transfer the east district bonds to
the west district After that formality
is completed Messrs. Neal and Picken
leave at once for Washington, where
they will take up with the Indian de-
partment the matter of incorporating
the Indian allotments on the east side
of the Okanogan river into the pro-
posed new district, so that they will
pay their porportionate share of the
cost of construction.
Thus the final movement is on foot
that is to eventuate in the early con-
struction of the big irrigation system
that has been hanging fire for so long
a time. The railroad officials are ready
to put contractors at work at any time,
and that time can not come too soon
to suit them. So soon as the formal
process of re-incorporation is well un-
der way, and has reached the point
where there can be no question as to
the final result of the movement ac-
tive construction will begin, and those
in position to know express confid-
cnce that contractors will be on the
ground and throwing dirt within less
than 60 days from the 1st of July.

A QUEER GEEZER
He Must Have CObwebs on the Top
Floor Judging From His Actions

That man Harry McAllister, of light
fingered notoriety, must be nutty, and
consequently irresponsible. Twice he
has committed robbery in this vicin-
ity, and neither time did he try to
cover up his tracks, or escape from
the country. He did not appear to
realize that he was committing crimes
that would land him in jail. For the
last exercise of his nefariuos propen-
sity he was sentenced to the peniten-
tiary, and managed to escape from
custody at this place last Wednesday
night. Most men would have made
the best of the chance and vanished
Eut Mes freedom was short lived, and
he was at liberty only "a hours. He
had ample opportunity and time to
make his getaway, yet lowered around
town like moth around a lamp. Of
ficers secured the hills for him, with
out picking up the trail. Shortly be-
fore 1 o'clock Friday morning he
crossed back into town over the wag-
or bridge across the Similkameen
river, circulated around town, and
started down the railroad track to-
ward the railroad bridge over the
Similkameen. At 1 o'clock Deputy
Sheriffs Ed. Burden and ]. w. Carrel,
after returning from the Martinson
inquest, went to the railroad bridge
for the purpose of guarding it, ex-
pecting that McAllister would return
from the hills by that route on his
way to the Nelson neighborhood,
| which has been his range for some
time. They had been keeping their
vigils about an hour and half when
they were taken completely by sur
prise by McAllister walking right into
their arms from the direction of the
town. Their surprise was even great
er than that of McAllister as he bump
ed into the officers The fugitive was
marched back to town, lodged in Jail,
and Saturday taken to Spokane by

II. IL. COHuOT, formerly newspaper
man of Pacific county, southwest
Washington, and a gentleman of 4
classed under the head of live wire by
any one meeting up with him, spent
some days in Oroville and Okanogan
points during the past week on bus
mess, and while here paid the Gazette
several very pleasant calls, at least
pleasing to the occupants of the of
flee. Mr.. Connor is special agent for
one of the largest mercantile agencies
in the country, and has travelled ex-
tensively through the inter mountain
and coast states during the past year
The many people he has met and To-
calities visited enables him to speak
Of prevailing conditions and local ad-
vantages from the stand point of first
hand knowledge accumulated by per-
sonal observations and experience.
Being asked his opinion as to general
business conditions existing in Oro-
vile, as compared with conditions in
other parts of the country, based upon
information and data derived during
his stay here, Mr.. Connor said:
Relatively speaking your mer-
chants are in better financial condi-
ton than most any city of it's size in
the entire west, and / think this holds
true of most of the towns in the Okla
hogan valley. From my observations
realize that your tributary country
is paradise for both.the large ranch
er and small farmer, if he will but put
in an honest days work and farm in
telligently in almost any line, particu-
larly dairying and the raising of live
stock. No doubt you can raise on your
valley and bench lands the finest ap-
pies in the west but to my mind your
future prosperity does not depend on
up in diversified farming, systematic
crop rotation and live stock. l have
inspected large number of ranches
in the Okanogan valley tributary to
Oroville, and although l am not a live
stock expert | can tell a healthy pig
when l see one, and this valley in
reality is certainly some Pork Barrel,
SO to speak. There is no doubt in my
mind but what you can grow the best
pork in the United States right here
around Oroville. Up to a few years
ago hog raising seemed to be depend
ent on a corn crop, but today the
premium ham and bacon is produced
from feed of barley, alfalfa and some
oats. But l see you can even raise
good corn on your lower benches and
valley lands, so | do not wonder that
your merchants and farmers prosper
Just so long as your farmers stick to
the COW and the pig your city is bound
to grow.
Il visited your creamery and was
surprised to learn the amount of mon
ey that is paid out to the farmers OF
the valley for butter fat. The farm
ers monthly milk check is what makes
Oroville merchants prosperous. Why
| met a rancher the first day l was
here who sold a three-year-old steer
fattened on bunch grass, for $73.
Yes, sir; you have great country
here and your city is bound to be al
ways prosperous if you discourage the
crooked operations of boosters, buncC
steerers, and red apple roll-top desk
sharks, such as have queered many a
thriving town in the Golden West
Let the slogan of the Okanogan county
be The Cow and the Pig"
