DEATH OF S. SOGLE

S. Sogle, a pioneer of the Okanogan
valley, died at Riverside, June 23, at
the age of 73 years. The deceased
was one of the early settlers of the
flat upon which Oroville stands, his
original homestead covering what is
now the northeast part of town, and
his old residence is still standing. He
sold out to the railroad at the time the
road was building into the country.
The following sketch of his life, TAX
en- from the Riverside Argus, will be
read with interest by the older resi-
dents of the valley:
"Simmander Sogle, pioneer of the
upper Columbia and Okanogan valleys,
passed away at noon Tuesday, June
%, from heart trouble and exhaustion,
having been confined to his bed most
of the time for the past two months.
Deceased was well and favorably
known to most of the old residents of
Okanogan and Stevens county, having
resided in those counties almost con-
tinuously since 1888. He was born at
Covington, Kentucky, in 1S41. His
father died when he was five years of
age, after which his mother removed
to Minnesota, then frontier country
where he grew to manhood and learn
ed the trade of blacksmithing at Roch-
q ha
the Sioux war in that state in 1861 he
enlisted and served until it's close. In
1864 he moved to Iowa where he mar
ried and remained until the death of
his wife in 1874, when he moved west
to Omaha, where he entered the en-
ploy of the Southern Pacific railroad,
working in the shops for five years.
Owing to failing health he again turn
ed his face westward and migrated to
California, where he engaged in lum-
bering in the redwood districts and
rapidly recovered his health. In 1882
he met and married the present Mrs.
Sogle, soon after which they came to
washington ana settled at Hunters,
in Stevens county, where he improved
a farm.
Again he turned his face westward
and moved to Centralia in this state,
but only remained year, when he re-
turned to Oroville, where he had ac-
quired mining interests, and purchas-
ed another farm and lived there until
1901, when he sold out and after a
years sojourn on the coast came to
Riverside and has lived here ever
since. He leaves a widow and two
sons, Edward, residing in Spokane, and
George, who is resident of this town.
Interment was made in the Riverside
cemetery.

LOOKS GOOD TO HIM

Ernest Riste returned Saturday from
Spokane, where he had been for sew
eral days in the interest of the
proposed consolidated irrigation dist
rict, and where he had held very sat
infactory conference with e. G.. Leedy,
chief of the immigration department
of the Great Northern railroad. Mr..
Risto is optomistic as to the carrying
out of the project in its reformed
shape. Mr.. Riste has not at any time
been boisterous in his expressions rel
ative to this enterprise, for the promo
ton of which he has SO largely con-
tributed, and has always taken a con-
servative attitude in discussing the
prospects of ultimate realization Rec
ognizing as much as any single in
dividual the great Importance of the
enterprise, and benGir~ all his ener-
GIGS to secure accomplishment, Mr..
Riste indulgedyin few predictions, but
has gone straight ahead trusting In
the future to work out propitious re-
suit. If Mr.. Riste expresses conf
dence he has excellent grounds for so
doing, as he is not one who would per-
NIT himself to be biased by false hopes.
The fact is that at no time since the
inception of the movement has the
outlook for it's winning out looked so
bright and encouraging as at the pres
Cnt time.

ADVICE OF WEIGHT
One Who Is Informed Says This is the
Best Apple Country in the West

ID. G. Henny, of Portland, was a Wis
itor in Oroville for day or two the
latter part of last week. Mr.. Henny is
a civil engineer of wide experience
of high reputation, and of acknowledg-
ed authority, who stands in the FORE
most ranks of his profession. At the
present time he is filling the position
of chief engineer in the United States
reclamation service during the tenn
porary absence of e. c.. Davis, who
has gone to China as member of the
Red Cross commission, appointed to
examine into the causes of the annual
overflow of the Yellow river, an in
undation that is ac ccompanied by a
great loss of life and property, and de-
wise means to prevent that catastrophe.
Mr.. Henny is thoroughly conversant
with this part of the Okanogan valley
its fertility and the capability of the
soil, as the Great Northern railroad
employed him as consulting engineer
to go over the figures of Engineer
Wieland, and examine into the feas-
ibility and advisability of the Okano-
gan valley irrigation projects. Mr..
Henny takes different position rela-
tive to what owners of land in this
valley should devote their attention
to than taken by so many people that
have expressed their views on the sub
ject. Most people urge diversified
farming. Mr.. Henny on the other hand
advises strict attention to the growing
of fruit, especially on the part of those
who have had experience in that line
of products. He declares that the
market will never be over stocked
with high-grade apples, and he holds
that the Okanogan valley is the ideal
apple growing district of the west.
The soil and climate, he declares, make
for the best apple on earth, and the
country from Wenatchee to the inter-
national boundary is especially fav-
orable for the growth and maturing
of fruits. He feels confident that
those who understand fruit growing,
and have the means to cultivate and
care for an orchard until the trees
come into bearing, can embark in the
fruit industry in the Okanogan valley
with perfect assurance of success. He
feels confident that apples grown in
this valley will always command a
renumerative price in the markets
against all competition. Advice of
this kind from such a source should
have great influence among prospect
i've fruit growers, for Mr.. Henny has
had a very extensive experience in
those sections throughout the west
devoted to fruit growing, and his
knowledge comes from close observa-
ton and careful study of the subject.
Diversified farming is all right, but
take Mr.. Henny's advice and do not
overlook fruit.
