the two should enter the lists against
COnconully, as the sentiment through
out the county is strongly in favor of
moving the county seat to more
central location on the railroad. 1t
vas evident to an unprejudiced person
weeks ago that the trend of public
sentiment leaned very strongly toward
Okanogan, and the result of the vote
IS no surprise. One of the agreements
between Omak and Okanogan was that
the town that lost at the primary
election would stand by the winning
town at the November election. Botn
towns must have felt absolutely cer-
tain of success at the primaries or it
is doubtful if any such agreement
would have been enlered into, and we
do believe that Omaks was misled by
what the people of that place consid.
cred inside information from certain
precincts that failed to deliver the
vote. If Omak people stands By
the promise made and if they
do it will be display of
rCctitude AMI sense CT honor
for plighted word rarely exhibited in
the delivery of vote for any purpose
there will be nothing to it at the
November election, VS. Okanogan will
win hands down, unless there is
very great revulsion of sentiment in
the county.

STREET IMPROVEMENTS.

The town council held a special
meeting Wednesday evening, and as
will be seen by the notice published
elsewhere has provided for taking i'm
mediate steps toward carrying out ex-
tensive street improvements that have
been in contemplation for some time.
These improvements are to be of
permanent character, and includes the
putting down of cement sidewalks on
the principal business thoroughfare,
as we'll as the macadamizing of many
feet of street. When once completed
the new walks and graded and sur
faced streets will be an attractive ad-
dition to the town and give it an ap-
pearance of stability. The cost is going
to hit property owners in a tender
SPOT, but street improvements cannot
be expected without cost. The propos-
ed improvement is well worth the
money, however, and will add suffi-
cient value to the fronting real estate
to well repay the investment.

OKANOGAN WINS.
lllent,

From the election returns SO far
as received the fgurese would indicate
that Okanogan leads Umak in the elm
ination contest for county seat honors
by fully 1000 majority. The official
count may change the sum total one
way or the other, but the lead is so
great that Omak is out of the race.
Indeed the majority for Okanogan may
reach as high as 1900. 1t was given
out months ago by Omak that that
town would enter the race for the
county seat as against Conconully.
Following Omak's declaration of can
didacy Okanogan people threw their
hats in the ring as contenders for the
county seat and the fight became three
cornered and intensely interesting. If
the triangle fight was to continue re-
u,oval of the county seta from it's
present location would be practically
impossible, as 60 per cent of the vote
cast on the proposition is necessary
to accomplish that object, and neither
Omak nor Okanogan would have had a
ghost of a show. Feeling between the
towns ran high, but the two towns
realized that it would be waste OF
money and effort to make the cam
paign with two contestants, and it was
mutually agreed that an elimination
contest should be held at the primary
election. The two towns would put
their respective claims up to the vot-
ers and let them decide which one ol

CHOICE APPLES.

Some people are laboring under the
impression that fruit cannot be sue
cessfully grown on the uplands, but
they would change their minds if they
could see samples of fruit raised on
the mountains in tbe vicinity of Oro-
ville Saturday Med. Hershberger left
specimen of the twenry-ounce pipin
at this office that cannot be surpassed
Tor size, color, symmetry and flavor by
any orchard product of the same var
iety grown in the valley. This apple
measured Is inches in circumference,
and was very hansome in appearance
The apple was grown upon Mr.. Hersh-
terger's ranch on Ellemeham noun
tain, at an altitude t)f 1000 feet. Mr..
Hershberger, and those neighbors who
have tried the experiment, have been
very successful with fruit growing. If
this kind of fruit can be raised on the
mountains, and without irrigation.
there is no good reason why the or
chard cannot be made profitable ad-
iunct to every farm, and it would pay
the upland farmers to try the expert
ment.

PAINFULLY BURNED,

Lillian, the two-year-oId daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. George Stoltz, was very
painfully burned about the right hand
and right side of the face last Friday
morning. The child was in the bed
room alone, and by some means Sc
cured matches. 1t is believed she
found them in the pocket of pair of
Mr.. StOltz's trousers Mrs Stoltz was
il. the kitchen and heard the child
scream. She thought the little one
was out in the yard, and she ran
cut of the back door and around the
house. Failing to find her child ,and
still hearing the cries she returned
to the kitchen. AS she entered the
door the little one ran out of the
bedroom, her dress enveloped in
flames. Mrs. Stoltz seized small
blanket that happened to be near at
hand, threw it over the child extin-
gushing the fire. Lillian suffered in
tense pain from the burns, but fortu-
nately she had net breathed the
flames and the injuries were all ex-
ternal. DR.. Lewis was summoned and
he did all in his power to relieve the
child's sufferings. AS the burns were
not deep it is thought that they will
heal without leaving scars.

ELECTION RETURNS.

The following few returns from the
county have been received at this place
covering only a few of the county
Cffices. There are probably Il
few small precincts to hear
probably few small precincts to char
from, but they will not change the
result. In the legislative race both
the democratic and republican candi-
dates ran neck and neck. 1t is stated
that many republicans in the Methow
valley took democratic tickets in order
t. vote for Mr.. Banker for the legisla-
tlre:

AN UNWISE MOVE.

Deputy Sheriff Clair Ward was in
town Sunday summoning election Of
ficers to appear in Conconully Mon
day morning at 8 o'clock to show
cause why they should not be enjoined
for accepting ballots in the county
seat elimination contest between
Omak and Okanogan. AS there was
no way to reach Conconully within
the time designated very properly the
Oroville election officers refused to
show up. The injunction proceedings
at the last moment were an outrage,
putting the county to large expense,
and those election officers foolish
enough to respond to great inconveni-
ence, trouble, hardship and expense.
That movement will lose Conconully
more votes at the November election
than all the arguments that could be
advanced in favor of removal.

THAT SEATTLE EXCURSION,

According to the last announce
ment issued the postponed excur-
sion of members of the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce to the Okan-
ogan valley is to be pulled off next
| week. The program as arranged and
published is for a special train to
leave Seattle at midnight Monday Sep
tember IA, stop at Wenatchee, and
from that city run north on the branch
and do this upper country. 1t is ex-
pected that 100 representative busi-
ness and professional men of Seattle
will be of the party. The excursion
lists are not to do the flying act, hit
ting the high places, but will go
through the Okanogan valley leisurely,
not too leisurely However, and the
strangers will be given an opportun-
ity to see all there is to be seen. 1t
Is not the most favorable season of
the year to visit the Okanogan coun-
try for the first time, because the val

not in it's most fetching raiment and
the impression will not be so happy
and favorable as when seen at its
best. Still the visitors will be able
to realize by going over the ground
what vast territory Okanogan coun-
ty is, size up it's future possibilities
in the way of production and the pop
ulation it will eventually support, AMI
its value as contributary source tc
any city that may be able to command
it's trade. The Oroville Commercial.
Club should come to life for the time
being anyhow, and prepare a reception
for the Seattle visitors that will leav,
a pleasant taste in the mouth and a
pleasing remembrance of the leading
town of the county. Arrange to take
as many as possible up around The
lake and over the adjacent lands, and
it would not be bad plan to prepa e
a feed as feature of the entertain
ment.
