| Reputation for Quality IS the Greatest
Business Asset a Man can Have.
Has it ever occurred to you that the
quality of work that l am furnishing

ments.
| In every town or city in the United
States there are those who have built
up business through gaining repu-
tation for reliability for quality and
for giving the people just what they
think they are buying.
You can't buy quality monuments at
bargain ssle prices The best satisfied
customers are the ones who pay
good, honest price for monument and
then demands good, honest job.
Why not then give your work to one
who has built up his business on quality
and workmanship and who has had
years Of experience and who knows
when monument is finis he'd right and
the quality and material in it, and can
make the monument himself? And
who can be absolutely relied upon to
furnish you honest goods at honest
prices? am inspired by persistent
purpose to produce perfect monuments
and to have them set in perfect con-
dition.
How we'll have accomplished this,
you have only to look at the many
nice monuments that have erected in.

HIGH SCHOOL GRADES

Some of the parents in town are
fearing that their children who have
finished the two-year course in the
high school cannot make sufficient ad
vancement in the local school to fit
them for entrance into Pullman or
other colleges, because Oroville high
is only accredited as a two-year high
school, This should not deter schol-
ars from entering the local high school
this fall, as the school trustees are
closely following instructions of the
state schools examiner, which will by
the close of the first term entitle the
Oroville school to three or four years
credits and rating. The trustees are
very anxious that the high school class
at the beginning of the next school
year shall be as large as possible, for
the prestige to be gained, and they
will provide the necessary equipments,
and have engaged competent instruct
ors, to insure the Oroville school be-
ing the best in the county from which
any scholar can graduate fitted for
entry into college.

OUT FOR THE LEGISLATURE

While in Conconully Tuesday J.
Arthur Blackler, of Oroville, filed his
declaration of candidacy for the office
of state legislature. Mr.. Blackler is
not politician. He has never aspired
to public office. When he left Oro-
Vile for Conconully on business be-
fore the board of equalization the
thought of filing for an Office was as
far from his mind as peace is from the
armed hordes under the tread of which
Europe Is now trembling. After reach
ing Conconully Mr.. Blackler was
urged to enter the race by friends
from various parts of the county
There had been but one filing for the
legislature up to that time, that of a
socialist. He was at last persuaded
to enter the race, and he filed for the
legislature on the republican ticket
The people of Okanogan county would
be we'll and creditably represented at
Olympia should Mr. Blackler be chos-
en- for the legislature. He is a young
man of sterling worth, with the push,
energy and enterprise to make his
mark in the legislature, and he could
be depended on to work hard and
faithfully for every portion of the
county.

FINISHING THE PRELIMINARIES

The superior court granted the petit
ton for the dissolution of the East
Okanogan Valley Irrigation district
Monday, and the reorganization of the
West Okanogan Valley Irrigation dist
riot, embracing lands formerly includ-
ed in the East Okanogan Valley Irriga-
ton district, is well under way, and will
be completed as rapidly as the legal
measures can be taken. The direct
ors of the new district and land own
ers interested in the success of the
enterprise, held several meetings in
this place Monday and Tuesday. All
questions pertaining TO land listing,
eliminations and rights-of-way are
about amicGbly and tavorably settled,
and so far as can be determined at
the present time there is nothing
standing in the way of carrying out the
project. There has been a sufficient
amount of excess land listed to meet
the requirements demanded, and as
the directors and land owners have
complied with every demand of those
who are to take the bonds and provide
the necessary capital for constructing
the system, a final settlement should
be reached in very short time and
the strain of uncertainty removed.

A POT OF GOLD

Monday delegation of citizens
from OkanCgan arrived in Conconully
with $4,000 in cold hard gold, which
was deposited in the Commercial bank,
il the presence of witnesses from all
parts of the county, to be paid over to
the county to provide court house in
the event that the citizens of the coun-
ty vote in favor of moving the county
seat to Okanogan. This shows the
good faith of the peole of Okanogan.
They said they would donate $4,000
for the purpose stated, and they are
tt, the front with the coin. There was
no bluff to the offer. Money talks,
and this deposit wiz win more votes
for Okanogan than an ocean of ink
OF a decade of talk 1t really settles
the elimination contest that comes up
for adjudication at the primaries. At
the November election the question
to be decided is whether the county
seat is to be moved without expense
tc the taxpayers to Okalcgan, q CEN
tral and convenient point on the rail-
road, or remain where it is, out Of the
way, hard to get to, and q constant
and growing expense to the people.
II property owners are in earnest in
y desire tc have taxes reduced they
will vote for Okanogan. If they wish
to continue paying heavy taxes they
will vote to let the county seat re-
main where it is.

umn A. J. Wilson, of Spokane, is q
candidate before the primaries for con-
gress from the fifth congressional dist
rict, which includes the counties Of

TELEPHONE TO OSOYOOS

Some time ago representatives from
Penticton conferred with Oroville bus
mess men relative to the extension of
the telephone line from Fairview to
the custom house at Osoyoos, where a
line would connect from Oroville.
Public improvements of this kind gen.
orally move slow, and this case was
TO exception to the rule. However,
the British Columbia people have at
last made a move that will be follow
ed by the early completion of their
end of the line, and it is now the duty
of the Oroville people to get a move
on and put in the connecting link. The
last issue of the Penticton Herald
says: "The advance guard of the
gang that will connect up the govern
ment telegraph line at Fairview with
Oroville, came in on Thursday even
ing's boat. Work will be started in
this connection as soon as the fore
man and the rest of the gang arrive
in the course of about ten days"

FOR COMMISSIONER

George j. Hurley, of Loomis, has
filed his declaration of candidacy for
the office of commissioner in the first
district, subject to the decision of the
voters at the forth coming primary
election. Mr. Hurley is one of the
oldest residents of Okanogan county
He came to Ruby in the early days
when that hot camp was on the map,
and with the exception of a brief resi-
dence in Ferry county has been a con-
tinuous resident of this county. In
business and executive ability he has
no peers in the county, and behind
that capacity and capability is back
bone to carry out any plans he con-
siders best for the general welfare.
People are crying out for economy and
a business administration of county
affairs Make George Hurley a COM
missioner and there will be marked
reduction in the expenses of running
the county for the next two years.

ton. The signs were all favorable at
the first inspection, but to be con-
vinced he supplemented that observa-
tion by the most careful examinations
and crucial tests. The further his in
vestigations were carried the better
satisfied he was that he labored under
no error of judgment when first sizing
up the Lone Pine as property of eX
oeptional promise, requiring but little
capital to determine its true merit
Mr.. Jennings started tunnel to cross
cut a ledge cropping on the hill side,
at point on the group a short dist
ance across the international bound
ary, the boundaries of the claim COW
cred ground both in Washington and
British Columbia. Tnat tunnel is in
1877 feet, and every foot in quartz that
is strongly mineralized. The face of
the tunnel is in the same character of
ore, and its width is still unknown.
The Lone Pine group is only a short
distance from the railroad, and a good
wagon road can be built to the tun-
mel sites at little expense. The To-
cation of the lodges, high up on the
side of the mountain, is such that they
can be worked to the very best ad
vantage and ore extracted at a mini
mum cost. So far as the physical con-
ditions are concerned the property is
most favorably located for advnatag-
eous mining. Mr.. Jennings expects to
commence active work this fall upon
a scale that will insure results in
short order and determine the true
value of the Lone Pine He has no
doubts as to the final results, and for
that matter from every indication, in
dications that appeal even to the lay
man, one would augury that success
is certain to reward Mr.. Jennings in
his undertaking

THE FUND SWELLING
OrOville Citizens Contribute Literally
Toward the Library Building

This paper has been endeavoring to
arouse the interest of the public in
a library building that the Civic Lea
que contemplates building for several
weeks. The appeal fell on fertile
ground, it is evident, and bore fruit
after members of the league put their
hands to the plow and cultivated the
ground. Voluntary contributions were
SLOW coming forward. All recognized
the Importance of library building,
and were not averse to helping it
along. but it required personal solici-
tation to gain a substantial end, or
make flattering start toward sub
stantial end. The full amount neces-
sary for the construction of a credit
able building has not as yet been Sc
cured, yet splendid beginning has
been made, and the prospects are very
encouraging for final success. No
aoubt there are many who have not as
yet been approached who are willing
to aid the good cause. They can do
their part by nominating the size of
their donations, and they will be given
credit for their assistance 1t has
been felt all the time since the move
ment for building was started that
Oroville would not be behind neighbor-
ing towns in public spirit, and from
the way citizens are responding it is
evident that feeling was correct. The
following is list of the contributions
SO far Sacurod.

This plan may be readily altered
to suit the requirements of hog rails.
:ers who prefer to have both sleeping
and feeding pens inside the building
by eliminating the driveway and
placing two rows, Of pens together so
that opposite pens communicate with
one another by means of a door or
opening. A four-foot feeding alley
must then be provided along one side
WALL The feeding pens should be
separated from one, another by means
Of gates wide enough to drive through,
so that when the house is to be
cleaned the hogs may be temporarily
shut up in the sleeping pens and a
manure .spreader hauled through the
feeding pens which will contain nearly
all the manure. This makes a conven-
lent and up-to-date arrangement, but
is more expensive of room than the
plan shown, which in the estimation
Of the writer is to be preferred, as
the manure will then be largely out
side of the building, making its in
terror cleaner and more sanitary.
At the further end Of the building
is located an 8x8 feed room on one
side Of the driveway and opposite it
a mixing and steaming room of the
| same dimensions. This room will
also serve as a sl%aughtering room and
a large bricked in iron kettle should
be provided for cooking the feed and
scalding the slaughtered swine. =,
The building will accommodate fifty
hogs without being crowded and II
properly constructed Of suitable ma
terial~ will be we'll lighted and venti'
lated and possess sufficient warmth
even at narrowing time, which is the
most critical period in the business
Of hog raising.

THE NEW SKIRTS.


How to Make a Fashionable Autumn
Costume.
As q change from the much draped
and decorated skirt come the new
straight models in two and three tier
effects. They keep to the silhouette
effect of the earlier tight skirts and
are very youthful in their effect.
Sometimes the skirt is in two Sec
lions, as was the French model noted
I'M a shop recently, which had a plain
straight plated effect at the top, which
reached to the knees and beneath that
was crossed in the front and draped.
But many, many of the skirts are
very straight in line, with no drapery
,, whatever. ~
Another Paris idea is to have the
skirt perfectly plain, somewhat high
WASTED and decorated with frills, two
or three inches wide. One smart mod
Ell had three Of these ,frills Or rufles
just at the line Of the knee, but quite
snugly fitting above and below that.
Still another very fetching. skirt had
three rows Of frills at the knees and
three at the hem. This was very
quaint and picturesque and was COM
posed Of soft figured foulard in n of
the attractive patterns. u
But she is a wise woman who adopts
the style that is most becoming-that
gives her the best lines, regardless Of
whether it Is the newest or not, for
never were fashions more varied and
broad, and it should be easy for a wom-
an to find something which just suits
hoy -. -r-l e.E )

yourself, haven't you heard your grand
mother tell how popular it was when
she vas young? The recipe used to be
a favorite one, and it is very simple.
Strip from their stalks enough elder
flowers to fill q pint measure. Over
these pour two quarts Of boiling water,
and let 1t infuse for a hour. Pour it
into a clean kettle and let it boil gen.
