time, and thus increase his earning
capacity.
Or course, all those who undertake
dairying do not make a success OF it.
1t requires judgment, study and hard
work. Indeed, great deal OF hard
work, and yet the returns justify the
expenditure OF the labor. There Is no
business, industry or activity that in
sures success for everybody. The
matter Of success depends altogether
on the character Of the Individual; his
ability to profit by experience, and his
inclination to work. But there Is a
larger measure OF success attained in
dairying than in practically any other
branch of farming. The rewards at
tendant upon industry and applica-
ton as applied to dairying are such
as to make dairying exceptionally at
tractive, especially so in country
like this where the conditions are so
favorable to its development along
profitable lines, and where there is
more opportunity to market its pro-
ducts than the products Of any other
branch of farming, with the excep-
tion OF fruit raising. In fact an ideal
combination OF fruit raising and dairy
ing could be perfected in this Sec
ton that would make of it one of the
richest and most desirable communit-
les in the entire country.

WINNING HIS WAY.

Albert Coy, who spent several
months last summer in Oroville, is
now located at Revelstoke, B. c., and
is making his presence felt in that
thriving little Canadian city. His last
venture was the organization of a
steam laundry company, and he has
pulled it over in a way that will re-
dound to his financial welfare, and
the welfare of those with whom he is
associated. The company is not only
organized, but the plant is in running
order, filling a long felt want, and
while so doing gives promise of be-
coming one of the steady paying in
dustries of the place. In quiet and
unassuming, yet forceful way, Mr..
Coy has faculty of doing things. If
he keeps up his lick by the time he is
a few years older Mr.. Coy will be one
of the solid and substantial citizens of

ly and it serves the purpose every bit
as well as the concrete silos shown in
the picture. In fact, there is no better
silO than the pit silo, and none that
can be built so economically.
Dairying as a profitable industry
would not exist if 1t were necessary
for every one starting in that industry
to provide the equipment shown here
with. This picture is published mere
ly as an example OF what can be at
tanned through profitable dairying.
Convenience in arrangement and sani-
tation are two OF the most important
factors to consider in dairy barn.
These things can be provided for in
a comparatively inexpensive stable.
In fact, it costs no more to arrange
stable conveniently and provide for
ordinary sanitation than to build it
inconveniently and leave out OF con-
sideration all provisions for santa
ton, while in the care OF an incOn-
veniently arranged stable there is q
constant waste of time and labor.
A dairy farm can be started and
conducted profitably with very mod
est equipment. The particular advan-
tage Of that branch OF the farming in
dustry Is that it brings in constant
cash income, and thus enables the
farmer to add to and improve the
equipment on his farm from time to

successful dairying provides the
means for eQuipping the farm with
the best OF buildings and induces bet
ter farming, while giving the opportun-
ity to build up and enjoy better condi-
tons under which to do the work OF
the farm. Handsome and expensive
buildings and equipment are not nee
essary to insure success in dairying,
but they inevitably follow success.

Note the opening along the side OF
the barn for the purpose of admi IT,

openings conduct the air to the CELL

more or less before reaching the ami
mails. On the roof of the barn is
shown large ventilating shaft which
extends to the floor and removes the
foul air from the stable. Also note
the silos, which are an indispensable
adjunct to every well conducted and
successful dairy farm. These are a
costly type OF silo, in keeping with
the character of the barn, but 1t Is
not necessary to put SO much money
into this part OF the equipment The
pit silo can be built much more cheap

Saturday Mrs. A. d. Balderston was
taken to Spokane by her father, j. +.
Samson, for medical treatment. The
young lady had been very i'll for two
weeks, and the attending physician de-
cided that an operation was probably
necessary, and advised taking her to
the hospital at Spokane. When doc
tors diagnosed the case at Spokane
it was decided that an operation was
absolutely necessary at once, and the
patient passed through the ordeal Sun
day. The operation was very severe
one, and for a time Mrs. Balderston's
condition was alarming. At last ac-
counts, however, she was steadily i'm
proving with every prospects of speedy
recovery.

truth there was in it.

say it is weather condition that has
not occurred before for years. The

FROM THE SUNNY SOUTH.

S. C. Mitchell displayed cotton boil
in this office Wednesday that he had
received from Ben Anderson, who is
now located in southern California,
near the Mexican line. OF course a
cotton boil is a curiosity in this north
country, where we have not as yet
commenced the production of that
staple, and yet such an indication of a
mild climate did not cause Mr.. Mitchell
to experience any spasms of envy, as
this country is enjoying pretty COM
Portable tropical weather for this sea-
son of the year, and on the Mitchell
place flowers are in bloom in the yard.
To return to the gentleman who for
warded the sprig Of southern plant it
can be said that Mr.. Anderson may de-
eide to remain in the far south per-
manently, as he has purchased lot
in one of the growing towns Of that
part of California, and seems very
much pleased with climate and cOndi-

SEVERE BUMP

If bad beginning insures a good
ending the close of the year 1914 must
have something in store for w. S.Kee-
Ter much better than the ordinary
New Years day Mr.. Keeler was un-
loading a car of coal at the side track
near the depot, when the switch en-
gine shunted a string of cars down the
same track. They bunted into the
coal car with terrific force, shooting
Mr.. Keeler to the roof. He did not
stop falling when he hit the floor, as
he rolled out of the car door striking
the ground violently on his face. He
suffered long cash on the left eye
brow, the lacerated skin hanging down
over the eye. A number of stitches
were necessary to draw the cuticle back
into place, and Mr. Keeler still carries
his head in a sling as reminder of
the jolt. The railroad company pays
the doctor bill, yet even at that Mr..
Keeler does not look upon the accident
as a pleasurable experience.

INTERESTED In MINES

came in Saturday and expects to re-
main in OrOville for month. Mr..
douglas is interested in the Lake View
Dividend and Gold Dust mines.
on Kruger mountain, and has been ac-
tive in interesting eastern investors in
these properties. He feels confident
from the results of development and
returns from ore shipments that these
claims, or groups of claims, can be
made to pay well, and he is bending
all his energies to accomplish that
end. His presence here may be fol-
lowed by more extended work on the
holdings. He is not prepared to say
just what the nature of future opera
tions may be, but he makes ho secret
that active work will commence in a
short time. Those who are at all ia
miliar with mines and mining, and
have any knowledge of the showings
on Kruger mountain, feel confident
that with thorough development at
greater depth than has so far been OBJ
tained Kruger mountain will be one of
the most important mining districts in
the west, and become famous as a
precious metal producer. Mr.. Douglas
has unbounded faith in the mines in
which he is interested, faith based
upon what he has seen taken out of
the ground, and what can be seen
under ground, and is satisfied that
after years of waiting he is soon to
have his hopes realized, the hope Of a
profit yielding mine. And If one is
made more will follow, as the mineral
belt in which the Lake View-Dividend
and Gold Dust are located is an
extensive one, and there are several
embryotic mines within a radius of a
few miles that are equally as bright OF
promise as the claims named, requir-
ing only capital and intelligent sup
ervision under exploitation to become
operating and remunerative mines.

GOING AFTER MINERAL
Henry Bahrs Starting Power
Drills At Work On the
Maquoy Claims
II MEANS MAKING 4 NINE
An Old Wanicut Lake District
Property With Creditable Past
and a Very Promising Future

Henry Bahrs has received and Is set
ting up the last of the machinery nee
essary for starting compressed air
drills on the old John MaquOy mining
claims near Wanicut lake, and he eX-
poets to start up active work early
in January. Mr.. Bahrs has one of the
most comfortable and best arranged
camps to be found among any of the
active mining projects in this neigh
borhood, and the equipment just in
stalled Is the best prOcurable for the
purpose of opening up ground. A tun-
mel is to be driven into the mountain
to cut at right angles cropping ledges
at considerable depth, ledges that have
been thoroughly explored during the
years that prospecting work has been
carried on and are known to be in
place, carrying strong values In gold
and silver. Sufficient capital is back
of the enterprise to insure continuous
work until the objective point is reach
ed. 1t is confidently expected that
when the ore bodies are encountered
the mine will be self-sustaining, with a
residue over operating expenses suf-
ficient to fully recompense the stock
holders for their investment.
John Maquoy, a veteran prospector
who is now enjoying a vacation at his
old home in Belgium, a vacation made
possible by the selling of the property
to the present operators, located the
claims years ago, and on them lived
the life of hermit up to the time of
his departure for over seas. From
year to year Maquoy did much pros
pecting on his holdings, which he con-
sidered of great value and guarded
with jealous care, and uncovered con-
siderable excellent ore. Some years
ago he bonded the group to a COM
pany that did extensive exploration.
For reasons not known to the public
the company gave up the bond, and
there has been nothing done on the
claims since, as the ground was pat
ented, and under patent annual assess
ment work is not necessary.
About year ago Mr.. Bahrs succeed
ed in interesting West Virginia people
in the Maquoy property, and through
his exertions money was raised to pur-
chase the claims outright, after the
Virginians were satisfied from person
al investigation, and the report of ex-
erts, that the investment was an at
tractive one. These same people are
now supplying the necessary funds
for the purpose of developing the mine
along strictly business lines. They
have entered into the enterprise to
make paying mine if the mineral is
in the ground, and they are so well
satisfied that the mineral is there that
they had no trouble securing the nec-
essary cash for carrying on the work
of development
