Low SPECIAL RATES

The railroad is doing it's part to in
duce eastern tourists to make side
trips into the Okanogan country by
offering the very low rate of SO from
Spokane to holders of transcontinen-

kane Spokesman-Reyiew contains the
following item on the subject:

LAND CONTEST

About all of the \esidents of Ellie

in which the government was obtain
ing evidence to ascertain if Joe Macy
had complied with the homestead laws
il perfecting his entry j. H. Cooper,
OF Spokane, was here to take the evil
dence. The case continued on until
late in the evening, in order to per-
nit the army of witnesses to return
to their homes. This testimony is
turned over to the land office, and a
decision is rendeded later. Joe Macy
filed on his homestead at Loomis near
ly ten years ago before the writer,
then U. S. commissioner. He has cul-
tivated the land ever since. We did
not hear the evidence adduced at the
hearing, but if every homesteader in
the county had complied with the laws
as strictly as has Joe Macy, at least
insofar as cultivation is concerned,
there would be many, many more
acres of land broken out and produc-
ing in this county than there are today

ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK

o. Laurgaard, an engineer of large
experience well known throughout
the county by his connection with the
construction of the big dam at Con-
conully used as storage reservoir for
the vast government irrigation project
IN the center of the county, arrived
in Oroville Tuesday, and is engaged
in thoroughly investigating the pro-
posed West Okanogan Valley Irriga-
ton district project, going over, the
territory to be embraced under the
bitches and familiarizing himself with
every phase of the proposition. 1t is
understood that this personal examin-
alton of the ground by Mr.. Laurgaard
is two fold, for the purpose of securing
first hand Information so that he can
lay all the facts before bond investors,
and to obtain data for the purpose OF
personally filing bids for actual con-
struction if the necessary funds are
raised. Much stress mas been laid up
ou tHe NlSll Vi lHlS noted engineer,
who has been connectel with other
large private irrigation projects since
leaving the government service, and
hence is able not only to pass upon
the feasibility of the enterprise but
should he secure the contract for con-
struction is in a position to make
first class job of it. 1t is felt that he
VIII have considerable influence in Sc
curing investment in the bonds
should his report prove favorable,
and no doubts are felt on that score.
Word has been received that renewed
activity is being taken by other con-
tractors who have had an eye upon
this project, and while there is no de-
sire to awaken hopes that may not be
realized yet it can be said that the
prospects for early construction on
this great local projt ct, that means so
much for the town and valley, are
brighter just at the present time than
they have been for the past year.

CIVIC LEAGUE ENTERTAINMENT

The members of the Civic League

using time and funds formerly expend-
ed on state wide contests to empha-
size county contests we hope to make
1t possible for every teacher and every
child in the state to see his work in
competition with some of the best of
its kind. If two counties care to join
in their children's contests the Joint
district shall be entitled to each coun-
tvs $50 plus a bonus of $25.
We have avoided going into detail
as to how the state aid which it is
possible for us to give shall be ex-
pended because we want to cooper
ate with local plans. All we ask is
that prize lists and plans for demon
stration work meet the general stand
ards set in this work during the past
two years, each county emphasizing
the things of local importance. State
Contest Supervisor c. c. Thompson
will visit the different counties and
confer with county superintendent
and fair boards relative to the plans
for the statewide chain of county or
joint-county contests.
Each county, or joint-county con-
test should be led up to by prelimin-
ary contests; county fair boards or
committees should see to it that every
child has way to get his exhibits
brought in without cost to him; chill
dren with their teachers should not
be charged admission to the fairs or
exhibits where their work is on dis
play; and crop reports should always
accompany exhibits. The season is
now we'll advanced, so l hope that we
may all cooperate actively in getting
these plans before the pupils, their
teachers and parents.

with the stock men Of the county, and
with that office and the Stockmen' s
Association, and this office working
steadily on campaign for better stock
better feeds and the elimination OF
disease, prospects are very good for
stock raising.
Certain diseases such as blackleg,
fevers, influenza, lump-jaw, etc., often
annoy stockmen, and as veterinarians
are few and far between, considerable
damage is often done; generally these
diseases could be controlled by the
stockmen themselves if they knew the
proper treatments. Prof. Hislop has
promised to issue pamphlets on the
treatment of such diseases; and the
forestry department will be asked to
contribute information relative to GER
tain poisonous plants which some
times kill stock. These pamphlets
will be sent to stockmen of the county
from this office.
Perhaps the most constructive
movement ever made along stock lines
is that of the stockmen of Okanogan
county, namely: the elimination of
undesirable bulls ON the range. More
damage to the herd is done every year
by the scrub bull than by all diseases
and beasts of prey. Now, this can be
controlled very easily, and the Okla
hogan stockmen are on the job.
This office extends thanks to the
many people in various sections of the
county, who so kindly assisted in max
ing these meetings a success.

TO DREDGE FOR GOLD

'''A. W. Otugnon, of Seattle, is now
in charge of the steamboat dredger on
the Similkameen river, located short
distance above the falls, as manager.
MIR. Ottignon is not an experienced
placer miner himself, but he is ac-
companied by an assistant who has
had years of experience handling
Gredgers in Alaska. Mr.. Ottignon
gives one the impression of being a
thorough business man, who proposes
to conduct researches for gold on
strictly business principles. From
careful investigation he is satisfied
that gold is present in the sands of
the shore and bottom of the river in
goodly quantities, the question to be
decided is whether it can be extracted
at a profit. He is here to solve that
problem. If it costs 95 cents to gath
er dollars worth of gold then the
project is worthless as a money max
er. He will give the dredger a thor
ough trial, and if it fails it will not be
the fault of lack of effort. Disappoint.
ment has too often marked every eff
fort to extract gold on a large scale
or the Similkamcon, while the in
djvidual miner has made wages with
the crude cradle. Mr.. Ottignon may
succeed. Everybody trusts he will,
for his success would inaugurate new
activity along that stream. If he fails
then it is pretty certain that dredging
Is not the proper method for saving
gold on the river.

FOR MUTUAL BENEFIT

Recently a Land Owners associa-
ton was organized here, embracing
in it's membership quite a number Of
owners of land under the proposed
West Okanogan Valley Irrigation pro-
jcct. The organization was perfected
by the selection of Geo. w. Loudon
as president, Harry Bowerman vice
president, and R. P. Hoskyn secretary.
The object of the organization is for
cooperation in furthering the con-
summation of the project, in which
the members are individually and COL
lectively keenly interested. An in.
formation committee is a feature of
the association. The duty of that COM
mittee is to collect all information OBJ
tainable bearing upon the enterprise,
attend and report at meetings of the
board of directors. AS it is inexped-
lent, in fact difficult, to get all the
scattered members out to meetings
they are advised of every action of the
directors by letter. 1t is understood
that the one chief aim as far as pos
sible is eXpediting the carrying out of
plans for watering the valley lands.

The city is advertising for bids for
doing the street work in the newly
formed improvement district. 1t is to
be hoped that the contract will be
let to responsible bidder, and that
after work commences that the au-
thorities see to it that the contractor
does the work strictly in accordance
with the specifications Too often mu-
inequalities are considered legitimate
prey by those who secure contract
work, and the job is only half done.
Those who have to pay for the i'm
provements want something perman-
ent for the money they are forced to
dig up to meet the cost.
