Cooperative Spirit Appreciated

"One of the most creditable demonstra- tions of the Birmingham cooperative spirit during the whole Alabama Mer- chants association convention" stated w. c. Radcliffe. was the act of Man ager J. H. P. DeWindt of the Birming- ham Railway, Light and Power company, who kept cars waiting at the Louisville and Nashville station all night Thurs day in order to convey the Warrior river excursionists to their various shomes in all parts of the city they returned.
 ''The first train did not get back until 3 o'clock and the second train did not reach the station until 5:3O o'clock Friday morning. There was no way for MT DeWindt to know when the trains would pull in, so that from midnight on, at which time the regular cars stop running he had cars on every line in the city waiting for the tired excursionists when they did. get in.
 "The most of them, of course, were out of-town people who were delegates to the convention and who were stopping al downtown hotels. The cars, therefore were patronzed only by local people who went on the trip and by those few mer- chant delegates who were stopping while in the city at the homes of friends ir the residence districts. The business done did not justify the operation of the cars But it was a matter of accommodation a matter of civic pride, demonstra- ton of the kind of spirit that made the
 entire convention such a success. Mr DeWindt is to be congratulated

Democratic Chances for Next Year

 q voted the democratic ticket in 1912, Although my leanings were republican" said John L. Fitzpatrick of Chicago.
 q voted for MT. Wilson chiefly because of my admiration for him as a man. But the democratic legislative programme was a bit too progressive to suit me and men of my 'way of thinking. and I began to predict soon after the inauguration that the democrats would be badly defeated in 1916. feel now. however, that was mis- taken.
 Tn most respects President Wilson nas made good; in every respect, I might say, with the exception of his Mexican pol- icy. There was too much watchful waiting' When we were at Vera Cruz the United States should have marched an army into Mexico City, set up a stable government and after order had been restored. withdrawn just as we did in Cuba. The administrations weakness in regard to Mexico was doubtless due to MT. Bryan's insistence on non-interven- ton. no matter what be the result. In the administrations policy concerning the European war MT. Wilson has been right He has kept us out of war without any sacrifice of national glory.
 MT Wilson may lose many votes on account of Mexico-he certainly will in the west; but the way it looks now he will have a good majority in the electoral college. Business recovery will con. tribute largely to his vote.
 "The republicans and the Roosevelt pro- gressives are not getting together as fast as thought they would. and that is an other reason why think it safe to bet on another democratic triumph"

AN EXCELLENT YIELD.

during favorable season on the semi
arid side hills overlooking the valley,
N. c. Faulkner has a bunch of wheat
stalks and heads on exhibition in the
First National bank. These samples
will compare favorably with wheat
grown on the most tavorably located
grain lands. Mr.. Faulkner reports that
his crop yielded 33 bushels to the
acre. This is not marvellous wheat

the location and conditions surround
ing the land producing that yield. Mr..
Faulkner's ranch is on the first bench
east of and in sight of town. AS dry
ranch it will take second place to none
where dry ranches exist, and yet, as
proving the marvellous fertility of a
soil that in ordinary years is almost
wholly deprived of moisture, Mf
Faulkner says that when the land is
properly cultivated and seeded care
fully he is sure of good stand every
season, no matter how dry. 1t requires

CONGRESSIONAL VISITOR,

Congressman G. G. Dill spent last
Friday in Oroville winding up tour
of Okanogan county. Mr.. Dill has
shown good deal of activity since his
election familiarizing himself with the
geographical outlines of the Fifth dis
trict, that he represents in congress,
and by coming into direct contact with
the people ascertaining their views and
ments. He is especially interested in
securing the early opening of the
south half of the Colville Indian reser-
vation, which has been unnecessarily
held up by the Indian department, and
already has eXerted his influence with
the department to hasten that event
fore the department intelligently, as he
spent five days going over the reserve
on horseback and knows the extent and
character of the country. While here
Mr.. Dill was taken over the big irriga-
ton project by l.. F. Pourtales, pres
ident of the board of directors. Mr.. Dill
was surprised and pleased with the
bright prospects of the future possi-
bilities of this part of the Okanogan
valley, and Oroville in particular He
commented favorably upon the improv
ed appearance of the town since his
last visit, and predicted that the place
would speedily grow to be an import
ant commercial and industrial center.
Politics were wholly eliminated. He
was here as citizen Of the district
bent upon doing all in his power for
the benefit of all the people. He does
not represent a clique or faction but
the entire citizenship of the Fifth dis
trict that he has the honor to repre-
sent, and all classes will find him
friend at court

only intelligent farming and industry.
This is the kind of farmer Mr.. Faulkner
is, and every year his land gives some
returns, either in hay or grain. This
land is above the big ditch under con-
struction, but the same kind OF land
is under the ditch. The soil contains
all the chemical constituents that in
sure results from any seed planted. 1t
lacks only one vital element to make
it surely productive as any out Of
doors, and that is water. When water
is turned on the bench and valley lands
within reach of the irrigation system
this section will have the most produc-
tive lands within the state. Irrigation
is the salvation of the country, and the
project when completed will give a
value to the land holdings under it
many times beyond the cost of the con-
struction and make this valley the
grain, fruit, meat and dairy storehouse
of the state.

After removal the salts are renewed
IN a brief period of time, showing that
the contents of the lake are practically
ineXhaustible. The lake and its con-
tents is one of the most singular
freaks of nature among the many that
nature is responsible for in the west.
The possibilities of this EPSON salts
lake depends largely on future condi-
tions. If the medicament can be made
profitable by the present crude means
of handling it can be made more
profitable with mCre modern facili-
ties. Processes could be installed for
extracting the salts from the water
when the weather does not permit of
the present method of handling and an
extensive and important industry built
up. If the product could be protected
against foreign competition, or if the
war be protracted for few years, this
salts lake could be successfully work
ed indefinitely, becoming a very i'm
portant industry. There is enough of it
to supply the United States and leave
a surplus for expectation.
