TO WORK THE SALTS DEPOSIT.
A company has Bonded the Famous
salts Lake West Of Town and VIII
Market the Product

ii. II. Brown, an old time miner
widely known throughout the north
west by the more familiar and feroc-
ious appellation of Bull Dog" Brown,
name hardly appropriate for a man
OF such pleasing exterior and genial
personality, has taken a bond on the
McCammon salt lake, or deposit, sit
uated only short distance west of
Oroville. Mr.. Brown is working in
conjunction with Seattle investors, and
VIII nave direct charge of operations.
The papers covering the deal are all
signed up and in escrew in the First
National bank of this place. Mr.. Brown
II not desirous of making any state
ment for publication at this time, pre-
fcrring to wait until the enterprise
that he is at the head of gets fairly un-
der way. He is here however, to do
business, for the contract specifically
specifies that work is to commence
within two weeks and continue stead
ily 1t is his intention to take out the
salts and place it on the ma, ket, and
as the profits of the investment de-
pends upon extraction of the material
and marketing, work will undoubtedly
be pushed vigorously.
This salts deposit is in a lake in a
depression of the hills covering sew
eral acres, short distance back of the
bald rocky eminepce adjoining the
town site to the west. It is a very
peculiar freak of nature. The surface
OF the lake is white crust during the
summer, although covered with water
part of the year. The depth of the
deposit is not known. 1t has been
prospeotcd for several feet and the
salts holds out all the way. Whenever
the salts IS removed the excavation
fills up in time with the same material,
hence the quantity is almost inexhaus-
tible. Analysis shows that the deposit
is almost pure EPSON salts, and is re-
markably free from all foreign sub
stances. 1t is said to be one of the
largest deposits known. The lake was
located by E. McCammon, and has
been in his possession for years. By
the terms Of bonding Mr.. McCammon
will at least realize handsomely for
his long wait and the labor he has put
upon it. Owing to the low price and
tie distaLce from market the property
has never peen of any particular value.
In the past much Of the EPSON salts
used in this country came from Eu-
rope. The war has cut off the supply
ard naturally the price has gone up
(which makes the Oroville salts depos-
l. an attractive proposition. II expert
ment demonstrates that the deposit
can be handled at fair profit the
work of extraction will continue in
definitely and become an important in
dustry tributary to Oroville.

A BIG CUT OF LUMBER,
Another Boost to Business Growing
Out Of the OrCville Irrigation
Project

The s. Z. Mitchell q. Co. saw mill.

the vast timber belt just across the liz !.
in British Columbia, and within sight
CT Or0ville, owned by members Of the
mill company, preparatory to starting
a run CD an enormous amount of lum-
ber ami timbers to be used in the con-
structioE of fumes for the West Uka-
hogan Valley Irrigation system. The
amount of select lumber 'equired for
this single order is 100000 feet, and
that is only sta,ter toward the
100000 feet that will be required by
the contractors for the completion OF
the system. 1t will require the hand
ling of several million feet in order to
obtain the selected 100000 required
for the particular purpose for which
the lumber is to be used. A gang Of
men arrived at the mill Tuesday to
begin the work of moving the plant
to the new site. When that Is accom-
plished the mill is to at once start up
with a full crew both in the timber
and at the plant. This big cut will
give employment to large number of
men for several months, and is another
object lesson showing the beneficial ef-
feet on general business of the con-
struction of the great irrigation pro-
ject.

A LONG JOURNEY.

DR.. and Mrs. J. L. Masters and Miss
Tressie Masters left Sunday in the
doctors car on an overland journey
clear across the country, Brooklyn,
Indiana, being their objective point.
They are so equipped that If caught out
between towns from any cause they
can 60 into camp and provide them
selves with meals and sleeping ac-
comodations. The trip will be made
leisurely as they have thirty days at
their disposal enroute, If so desired,
and they will make it a point to see
everything OF interest along the roads
they travel. The family is to be gone
a full year, as the doctor will enter
the indianapolis dental college and
take a postgraduate course, that be-
ing the object Of the journey, an OBJ
ject that he has had in view for several
years.
DR.. Masters was the first dentist to
permanently locate in Okanogan coun-
ty. Before his arrival dentists from
outside points would make occasional
professional trips through the coun-
try. After his coming, and the set-
tling up of the county, other dentists
came into the field and established
themselves. DR.. Mactors arrived in
Loomis from Indiana just twelve years
ago this summer. He made his head
quarters at the old mining camp until
some four years ago, when he took up
his residence in Oroville. From Loomis
and subsequently from Oroville, he
made regular monthly trips to the sur
rounding towns, in carly days taking
in Conconully, Oroyil,e, Nelson, Che
saw and Riverside. He built up very
large patronage, as he was personally
popular and did good work. DR.. Mas
tiers is one Of the best known residents
Of the north part Of the county, as
owing to his frequent trips he has
come in direct personal contact with
vast nunbcr of people. There Is not
more popular gentleman IL any pro-
fossion in the county, and when he
|returns next summer he will receive
hearty greeting from his multitude
of friends.

PIONEER MEETING.

Notice has been received at this Of
flee of the annual meeting of the Okla
hogan County Pioneer association,
which is to be held at Conconully Fri
day and Saturday, August 27 and %.
The meeting should be well attended
by the old timers of the county. 1t will
give them chance to renew old
friendships, talk over the days before
the railroad and the automobile and
have a good time generally. In the
natural order of things the pioneer is
gradually passing away. His future
is becoming uncertain, and his chances
of meeting old friends are few and
far between. He should take advant-
age of every opportunity to meet up
with those who were with him in the
days of the freight wagon and stage
coach, when Okanogan was a long
ways from anywhere and hard to get
at We have the warmest and kindi-
est feeling for the old timers, many of
whom we have met personally but
rarely now days have a chance to sec,
and if the arrangement can be made
shall be at Conconully on this occas-
ion to squeeze the frs of the old boys.

Several manifested their interest at
the First Methodist meeting last even

in behalf of the revival was the leading

These two aspects Of repentance
were dwelt upon at length by the
preacher, with the promise that the
subject would be taken up again.

"Sin Exceeding SinfuP' was the sub
ject of the sermon by Rev. John L. Alb
bott at Westminster Presbyterian
church last night. The text was found
in Romans, 7:1S, That sin by the COM
mandment might become exceeding sin
full"
Mr. Abbott said 1T seems as if
Paul searched in vain to find some
adjective fOrceful enough to describe
sin, and so he described it by itself.
The bible assumes that sin is
temporal evil that can not harm peO-
pie in eternity, or if it is only a belief
of mortal mind, then the agencies that
God has set in motion to save men from
sin are as needless and as foolish as it
would be TO hitch mOgul engine to
the toy wagon of a child.

the preacher, how terrible sin is by
the way it harms man and defeats

what it cost to expiate sin, picturing
the sufferings of Jesus for our re-
demption.

of the series thus far was at this meet

at any drug store. Millions of bottles
of this old, famous Sage Tea Recipe
are sold annually, says a well known
druggist here. because it darkens the
hair so naturally and evenly that no
one can tell it has been applied.
Those whose hair is turning gray,
becoming faded, dry, scraggly and thin
have a surprise awaiting them, because
after one or two applications the gray
hair vanishes and your locks become
luXuriantly dark and beautiful-all
dandruff goes, scalp itching and falling
hair stops.
This is the age of youth. Gray haired.

The wrapper and the binder hold the

color of a cigar does not denote either
strength or mildness, as the wrapper
is usually of so light a texture that
