Chance to Make Friends For Us

The suggestion has been made that
the women who are. working for the
sufferers and soldiers in Europe at
tach to each gift they send small
tape bag bearing the words "A gift
from America"
Every one making a garment for
those in need is actuated by kind
thought, the sponsors of this idea say,
and conversely every recipient must
have a feeling of gratitude toward the
unknown donor. The plan. they say.
is a splendid opportunity to make
friends for America.

is no system of licensing by which a regis

While the rain of few weeks ago
relieves temporarily the prolonged
drouth not nearly enough water fell
to replenish the springs. Unless more
rain falls before winter actually sets
in, many communities will be up against
a serious problem while residents of

of drudgery in the way of hauling
water for farm and household needs.

The action of the board Of trade this
morning in appointing a committee to con
fer with the village commissioners in re
gard to stricter building regulations for
Brattleboro is one that should receive the
approval of every resident of the village.
1t is in line with the no-more-fre traps
campaign which The Reformer inaugurated
last Wednesday, following the threatening
blaze on Flat street the night before.

Democrats Voted for Prouty.
BARRE Times.

The number of Democrats who voted for
Dillingham; could not have been very large,
because Dillinghams total vote was quite
a bit less than that II Gates. Republican
candidate for governor, and the combined
Democratic and Progressive votes on the
governorship were about 1000 less than
the vote accorded Dillingham's opponent,
Charles A. Prouty. 1t is probable that
some Democrats in Washington county
cast their ballots in favor of the candidate
who was a resident of their county, but
the number was not enough to make any
appreciate difference In the result Dill
ngham was elected by Republican votes
almost exclusively, and he returns to Con
gress on that basis.

Possibly the next legislature will give
some attention to the worthless dog,
which has ruined the sheep industry and
cost the state hundreds of thousands of
dollars annually. New Jersey has no
worthless dogs, or if they exist they are
not in evidence. There the dog catchers
make trips at irregular intervals through
the streets and byways, and any dog in
sight is covered with big net, loaded into
a screened van and carted to the pound.
If the owner does not appear within three
days and pay the regular fine the dog is
killed as humanely as possible. The dog
catchers have no right to enter Your pri-

Gideon IS Band, G. w. Gable.
The setting of this story is the
Mississippi steamer Vetareas, sailing
from New Orleans to Louisville, with
crowd of immigrants on the lower
deck and the hero, son of the owner
of the line, and the heroine, the
daughter of an alert commercial rival,
on the upper deck. The book is
crowded with characters and we all
most lose our. interest in the. lovers as
the senator, the bishop, the gambler,
the country actor, the farmer, the
roustabout. and the merchant appear.
The story that grows about these mot
ley characters is too big for Mr.. Cable
to handle but he does treat us to a
cholera scare, search for an exslave
and a mutiny which is averted through
theatrical performance planned by
the "play- and the young PEG
pie of the boat. He leaves the heroine
transformed from a rather howdenish
girl to a perfectly poised young WON
an whom we may contemplate without
emotion.

SAD AND SHOCKING DEATH
L. {. Limbach, of LOOMS, Accident.
ally Killed in Arizona

The sad news was received at this
place Wednesday of the death by ac-
cident of E. C. Limbach, at Ogilby,
Arizona, Tuesday. The information
was contained in telegram received
here to be forwarded to Mrs. Lin
| bach, at Loomis. No particulars
whatever were given. Simply the
shocking intelligence that death re-
suited from an accident, and that the
body was at Yuma, awaiting word
| from the widow as to it's disposition.
The natural presumption is that the
deceased lost his life in a mine ac-
cident, as he has had charge of a mine
at Ogilby for some time. Instructions
were wired to ship the remains to
| Burlington, Wash. Mrs Limbach was
taken to Brewster by Geo. J. Hurley,
in his car, where the stricken lady
caught the boat for Wenatchee. There
she took the train for Seattle to join
her mother, and there receive the body
of her husband.
Mr.. Limbach resided in LOOMS for
the past five years. He was a min
ing engineer and operator of large ex-
| perience, and was engaged to take
charge of the Palmer Mountain Tun-
mel property. When that i'll starred
| mine collapsed Mr. Limbach went into
! the Okanogan State bank of LOOMS as
cashier, which position he held for
some time. A few months ago Mr..
| limbach was offered a position as
| superintendent and manager of mine
at Ogilby, Arizona. The writer met
him at this place as he was going out,
and he remarked that he would go
down to Arizona and try the position
for short time, and if satisfied would
stay He left his wife and child at
LOOMS, intending to return, as he had
| property there to look after.
Personally Mr.. Limbach was one of
| the most likeable and pleasant min
ing men that have ever operated in
the Loomis district. He was quiet
and unostentatiOus, yet always genial
in his intercourse with others. He
he'd sterling qualities that made him
sincere and lasting friendships. He
was a loving and devoted husband and
father. The news of his sudden death
carried sorrow in every home in
LOOMS, and is most sincerely regrett
ed by all who knew the unfortunate
gentleman.

REMARKABLE ALTON

The greatest change that has taken
place in this county during the past
few years in on the benches overlook
ing the Okanogan river between Riv-
erside and Okanogan. Old timers who
have driven over this stretch of coun-
try during the heat of summer and
cold of winter will remember what a
seemingly endless reach of barren
waste it was few years ago Few
people ever dreamed that the land
could be made productive, although
the evidence was present in the beau
tiful orchard and home place of DR.. j.
|. Pogue that under water the land
would yield bountifully, because to
place land under water would cost
more than any individual, or combina-
ton of individuals, could or would
venture. Then a beneficent and per-
ternal government came to the res
cue, and supplied the water through
the means of a storage reservoir and
system of mammoth bitches, at an
enormous cost, working a TRANSFORMED
ton that to be appreciated must be
seen. Under that reclamation system
are 10000 acres, much of it out to

fruit and under high state of cultiVa-
ton, and looking down upon the
checkered surface from an elevation
presents a panorama, delightful to the
eye The land generally is cut up into
small tracts, giving homes to a large
number of people, and the landscape
is dotted with neat, coy, comfortable,
and often handsome, homes, lndlca
tons of the presence of men and Wo-
men of culture, intelligence and in
dustry. Not only has the land chang
ed as to appearance, but the addition
OF water has given it value that
would have sounder incomprehensible
ten years ago.
Saturday the writer had the pleas
ure of driving over the tract in COM
pany with F. A. De Vos of Omak. and
while he has seen the land as a sand
and sage brush desert, afterwards
during the first attempts at cultlva-
ton and tree planting, yet 1t is TWO
years since he last had an opportun-
| ity to visit that section, and he was
most agreeably surprised to note the
improvement that has taken place III
so short time 1t is beautiful sight
to look upon, and conveys at least d
slight idea of the enormous quantity
of fruit this country will be produc-
ing when the orchards all come into
bearing. Even this year many of the
trees are in full fruitage, and it will
require many cars to handle the fruit
that will be shipped out of Omak this
year. The great bulk of this magni-
ficient extent of orchard land i'm
medately adjoins and is tributary tc
Omak. Omak today is modest town
as to size, yet with such wealth oil
resources behind it the place can moi
fail to grow, and eventually become
one of the most prosperous and i'm
| portant towns in the county.
