OKANOGAN COUNTY HAS
UNLIMITED EPSON SALT
And Can Easily Supply the WOid-Be-
fore the War Germany Controlled
Trade in This Commodity

More than 100000 pounds of ep-
som salts, which are 90 per cent chemi
cally pure when taken from lake near
Oroville, Okanogan county, have been
shipped over the Great Northern during
the last three weeks, consigned to New
York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago
and Pittsburg. The shipments were
made by the Stewart Calvert Co. Of
Seattle, which owns the lake. Twenty
five carloads were shipped up to two
weeks ago and an average Of from two
to three cars week have been shipped
since. The minimum capacity to a car
is $4,000 pounds.
The salts mine as it is called was
discovered several years ago by resi-
dent Of Oroville, who took some Seattle
people into the company with him.
Owing to the Germans being able to
ship epson salts to Atlantic seaboard
points at lower rate than from Oro-
vile the deposits were of little use to
the holders until recently when it be-
came impossible to get supply from
Germany.
The freight rate is SIS ton in. car
load lots to New York, Boston, Phila-
delphia and Pittsburg, and $40 to Chi
cago.
It is understood that the salts wash
into the lake with the spring rains and
melting snow and forms in crystals 18
inches thick on the bottom Of the lake.
1t is taken from the lake and dried for
chemical use. The deposit is claimed
to be practically unlimited.

!, = IA y, DOG TRAINER
WITH ANIMALS IN WAR
Former Citizen of LeavenwOrth Has Big
Bunch of Alaska huSkieS in
European Scrap

Scotty Allen, the famous Alaska dog
team trainer and racer, whose name
has been frequently mentioned in the
daily press the past few weeks as being
on the way to Europe with anywhere
from one hundred to seven hundred
Alaska dogs to be used in the noun
famous regions where fighting is ex-
pected to take place this winter, was
once citizen Of Leavenworth. Now
that the doughty descendant OF the
SCOTS wha' ha wi Wallace bledl"
has become famous, Wenatchee news
paper men are trying to claim Scotty.
This claim rests on nothing more sub
stantial than that he stopped in Wenat-
chez to wet his whistle while on his
way to Leavenworth. 1t has been
almost. if not quite, twenty years since
the sinewy little Scotty quoted Bobby
Burns and slipped Scotch highballs in
Leavenworth. Among those who were
wont to consort with him only few
remain. The larger number have past
over the Great Divide that separates
two great eternities. Among those who
can recall Scotty we found Tom Eurke,
Ed Tholin. Nick Kincherf and Fatty
Davis.
No doubt about It'll Scotty-long
since famous as the winner OF Alaska S
great winter Derby-sure enough made
his home for a time in this place.
Scotty, they say, has reformed. Tho
he was never accounted very bad, be-
yond having a bit Of weakness for a
drop OF something pure, Which is just
slight debility which many more en-
dure.' II a fellow traveller, stranded
along life's journey, needed a lift,
Scotty was never the man to refuse a
helping hand and the price Of meal.
The years have left their mark on him.
He is said not to be as frisky as he was
of yore. His friends here hope he
may deliver the dogs and safely return
to the land that he asserts allegiance
to, and end his days in peace and
nlenfu

Where the Women Do the Courtiug

In the Ukraine province of Russia
the maiden is the one that does all the
courting. When she falls in love with
a man she goes to his house and tells
him the state of her feelings. II he
reciprocates all is well and formal
marriage is duly arranged. II however
he is unwilling, she remains there hop
ing to coax him into better mind.
The poor fellow cannot treat her with
the least discourtesy or turn her out, for
her friends would be sure to avenge the
insult. His best chance, therefore, il
he is really determined that he wont,
is to leave his home and stay as long as
she is in it. Which is certainly Pc
culiar way Of turning man out Of his
~
house.

NEBRASKA NEWSPAPER
MAKES VAIN BOAST
About Apple Yield in that State-0nIy
Shows Mere Fraction of Average
Washington Production

Our old friend, William Stage, owner
Of a young orchard two miles from
Leavenworth, formerly from wind-swept
Nebraska, received copy of Nebras-
ka paper giving an extended and word
painted account of the quality, flavor
and yield OF apples in the state he left
to come here and go into the apple
business. The cockey Nebraska editor
tauntingly called Mr.. Stages attention
in marginal notes to the glowing ac-
count where the apple yield of her
seven leading apple growing counties
is estimated at 1,750,000 bushels. He
boasts about the texture and favor Of
the Nebraska apple, but prudently neg
lects to say anything about the size,
and in obscure language admits that
they cannot approach the western ap-
pie in color.
He tells of a man in Thurston county,
who took 100000 bushels of apples
from 160-acre orchard. That same
orchard. if located in the Wenatchee
valley, would have yielded 100000
bushels, according to the average yield
in-this valley. There are well authen-
ticated instances where one acre in the
Wenatchee valley has produced 1000
bushels of appels. At this rate 20
acres here would produce as many ap-
pies as 100 in Nebraska. Go way back
and sit down, Mr.. Nebraska editor.
The writer has lived in the Wenatchee
valley fifteen years and this is the short
est apple crop since he has lived here.
yet this year the crop will closely ap-
proximate, if not exceed, two and a
half million bushels. You say seven
counties in Nebraska produced one and
three-quarter million bushels. Get off
the earth!
This is an off year. The apple crop
in the Wenatchee valley is about 70
per cent normal The valley is ap-
proximately twenty miles long and from
one to three miles wide; about two
thirds of the area planted to apple trees,
not nearly all in full bearing, and will
this year ship 2,500,000 bushels.
There are hundreds OF acres in the val
ley that yield year after year from 1900
to 1900 bushels of apples per acre.
There is one tree in the state that last
year bore 70 bushels of apples. There
is now on exhibition in one Of the store
windows Rome Beauty apple that
weighs % ounces. This is not large
variety. The largest varieties run as
high as forty-odd ounces. AS for the
color of the Washington apple, there is
Just one thing that excels 1.-THE pink
in the cheeks of her maidens. The
flavor of the Washington apple is not
excelled by the bouquet OF rare old
wine; and texture, well now, if De-
licious apple may be said to have tex
ture, it is comparable to nothing so
much as the texture of Kentucky moon
shine of the vintage of 1898.
If the Nebraska editor confined his
boasting to corn and hogs we might
have passed him up, but when he talks
about apples he is off his range, and in
Texas would be called Maverick.

LACK Of ACTION
HURTS CHRISTI ANS
Must Know Christ, Be EnthuSed
For Him and Carry Out Our
Thoughts, Says Rev. George
W. Allison.

The Three-fold Quality Of Relig-
ion was the theme Of the sermon
last evening at Hope chapel by the
minister. George William Allison. It
was an attempt TO describe what ele-
ments must enter into the complete
religious experience. In speaking on
this theme he said in part:
"A great many people are religious
mysticists, and do not examine their
religious experience carefully. And
some may even protest that TO do so
is irreverent. Let US reverently but
carefully see what elements or quail
tiles enter into our religious life. We
shall assume our religious life 10 be
Christian.
"One of the first necessities of the
religious life is an intelligent grasp of
the facts OF the religious life. We
must know the things we are TO be
leNe. and here we are judiciOusly
guided by the words Of one who knew
in personal experience that these
things are true and wrote US, We fol-
low not cunningly devised fables We
must have an intelligent acquaintance
with the character and mission Of
Jesus Christ. We must know Him
whom we know Alright is life eternal.
But il is not enough simply to
I. IL.
all of our American citizens know
of Him and yet are not Christians. Il
is the business of all missions to make
known 10 men. But mere knowledge
of Him is not sufficient. He must be
known and the knowledge must be
tinged with feeling. He must be loved
as we'll as known. And this love to
Him is a necessary element OF Chris
tan experience. Our knowledge of
Him must be permeated with a rich
enthusiasm. This is what makes he
roes and martyrs of Christian saints.
And if we are to grow into the finest
type of Christian character we must
hold our intelligent knowledge Of
Jesus Christ with a permanent enthu-
siasm for Him. Much of the dead
ness and indifference of our church
es and Christians is to be accounted
for by the lack of this quality of feel
ing of love or enthusiasm for their
Christ. who loved them first and
even unto DEATH
But many who know Christ intel
ligently, and hold that knowledge
with certain enthusiasm. yet fail of
the Christian life. They fail because
they do not convert their knowledge
and enthusiasm into action. They
must know Christ. they must love
Him, and then they must also Will to
believe and follow, trust Him as
well. knowledge and enthusiasm must
be converted into action. To know
and love ought TO give the impulse
TO do. And it is only when all three
of these necessary elements are pres
ent in religious experience that the
life is full and complete. Most of the
distorted Christian lives we see are
the result of the lack of some one of
these functions. We must not only
know Christ and love Him,-but also
commit our lives TO Him. and follow
this up by whatever that commitment
means in daily conduct Will you COM
nit your life TO the Christ whom you
know and love? Will you not do what
He may bid ?"

''Noah's building or the ark and

the living creatures except those in

pastor OF the Quincy st. Baptist
church sunday morning in his ser
mon on the topic "Noah's Carpen-
tiers"
The world was filled with wicked
ness before the food and many peo-
pie criticize Gods act or sending the
flood to drown all the creatures upon
the earth. but il is the same as Is
done with "a criminal today II a

This is not because his life Is wanted

OF the food. the people who had
