sion in business? Secretary Of State
Cornelius Roach thinks there is not
His conclusions are based on the iinan-
cia receipts of his Office for the past
six months as compared with the re-
ceiprB for the same period in previous
years. For the half-yeEr ending Ju-
ly 4, the receipts from registration
Of motor vehicles are sol $4,000; for
the same period in previous years.
For The half-year ending the receipts
were $l44, 501.00, and IN 1912, were
96,G20.00; and the total receipts for
his Office for the six months just pass
ed are S29G,S070O; fo" the cores
poning six months % 1913, the re-
ceipts were $229,g640O. and of 1912,
wesr S200,t12.00.
Frequently is heard The claim that
business conditions were better from
1905 to 1906 than ever haforc or since.
The receipts of the ofia of the Sec
retrny of State IN 1906 were only
Sl55 $500, and il 1905 the receipts
were $l53.200.00. The office Of the
Secretary o: State has yacided almost
as much in the half-year just ended
as the office yielded for hoth the years
1905 and 1908. There is no better in
dex Of business conditions in this state
than the receipts Of the Office of the
Secretary OF Sta.e, for the bulk OF
these fees consists Of money received
for notarial commissions, corporation
charters, corporation and motor We
hicle registrations. The greater the
number Of notarial COMMISSIONS issued
of charters granted and of motor We
hicles registered, the greater the pros
perity Of the people. Those who talk
of depression in business give no con-
sideration to the facts NJ they exit.
President Wilson is eminently correct
when he says that whatever "depres-
sion" there is is purely psychological.
This attitude of mind may be found
most frequently under the hat CT a
"standpatter" who has lost n post

GET A PLANO

The piano contest that has been in
progress for several weeks. has only
a few more weeks to run, and sclle
lucky young lady is to secure a hand
some and valuable instrument, indeed
three lucky young ladies, as there aye
three OF these pianos TO distribute.
Friends of the various candidates, and
the candidates themselves, should ex-
ert themselves securing votes. As
stated above there are three instru-
ments to be given away without cost
to the recipients. One to the candi-
date having the highest number of
votes living in the territory east of
the Okanogan river; one to the lead
ing candidate living west of the Okla
hogan and Similkameen rivers; one to
the high candidate living in the ter
ritory between the two rivers. Owing
to the liberal offer of votes made by
the Gazette, $4,000 for a paid up new
on the list who could not win with a
subscriber, there is not a candidate
little work. Aside from the pianos
there are several other valuable
prizes well worth working for. Keep
YOUR eye on the weekly report of the
standing of candidates published up
on another page, and the offers made
in conjunction with that report.

OF LOCAL INTEREST.

The Nora May Potter case, on hear
'ng before the superior court last
week, is of local interest. Nora May
Potter is tiny tot, an unfortunate
mortal born into this wicked world
out of wedlock. She is the child OF
one Elsie Potter, for a number of
years resident of Oroville, now Mrs,
Tyrell of Spokane. The child was
adopted by Mrs. Nellie Meyers, for
merly wife of Jack Meyers at one time
marshal of this town. She is now liv-
ng in the Tunk creek district An
agent of the Washington Children's
Home alleged that the child was ne
elected and that Mrs. Meyers was not
a fit person to have charge of the
little one. The object of the charge
was to secure possession of the child
A host of witnesses were summoned
10 Conconully, the hearing stretched
over three days, and in the end the
Jury decided that Mrs. Meyers should
retain the custody of the child. There
may have been grounds for the com
plant, yet jury by its verdict says
not. The case entailed a heavy ex-
pense upon the county. However
that is all right. The chief aim nova
days is to spend as much public mon
ey as possible regardless of results
The people foot the bill, and the pock-
cts of the people are entitled to nc
consideration.

FINISHED THE JOB.

Chas P. Stanley, who was superin-
tendent of construction during the
building of the Grubb hotel left Sat
rday for his home in Spokane, hav-
ing put the finishing touches on the
big brick and turned it over as COM
pleted, There are few men in the
building industry more proficient than
Mr. Stanley. He understands every
detail of construction from founda-
ton to roof. He has had years of ex-
perience as carpenter and builder
and has familiarized himself with
those features of construction tha.
are performed by artisans other than
the wielder of hammer and saw. His
general knowledge of building we'll
fits him for the responsible position
o. superintendent. He has the con-
fidence of Chas. Jasper, who was the
contractor on the job, and has worked
in conjunction with Mr.. Jasper for
years. Mr. Stanley was detained here
much longer than was expected when
work began on the hotel last summer.
The delay was through no fault of
his Most of the material entering
into the building had to be shipped
from Spokane, and no order filed was
ever promptly filled. For some rea-
sen, as the experience of years has
demonstrated, articles ordered from
the outside are always slow getting
here. Whether it be machinery or ma
terial the same procrastination marks
delivery. Mr.. Stanley had his exper-
fence in this respect, and it was both
unpleasant and improbable. He
might worry his head off, burn the
wires, champ and roar, but 1t was i'm
possible to eXpediate delivery, and
consequently the completion of the
hotel was delayed several weeks.
During his stay here Mr.. Stanley made
many friends, who trust that in the
letting of contracts for the building
of substantial structures in Oroville
in the future he may be detailed to
have charge of the work.

SIGN THE PETITION

A petition is being circulated to
have the game commission of this
county set aside as much of the Okla
hogan valley south from Osoyoos lake
as possible as game preserve. The
commission has authority to name
theee preserves in the county. They
have already named large section of
the Sinlahekin and Methow valleys as
preserves, and it is hoped that suf-
ficient interest can be aroused among
the residents of this place and vicinity
that a petition large enough can be
sent in to induce the commission 10
favorably consider the Okanogan val
icy preserve. The petition is at the
office of he Oroville Townsite com
pony, and every resident of the town
and valley should take enough in
tarest in the proposition to vo' unfairly
go to the Office and attach their sig
nature to the document.
