On Sunday, October 81, Prof. Thorn
as Shaw, of Minnesota, the agricul-
tural and stock expert in the employ
of the Great Northern Railroad ana
the most prominent authority upon
those subjects in the United States
will arrive in Oroville, and devote the
following week to holding meetings
and delivering lectures in the north
part of the county. He will be accom-
panied on the trip oy j. H. Hughes
county agriculturist, and F. w. Graham
industrial and immigration agent OF
the Great Northern road. An itinery
has been laid out for the greatest con-
venience to the professor, and cover
ing territory where he will be able
to meet and talk to the greatest num-
ber of farmers. All who can possibly
do so should make il a point to hear
the professor, as he is not only one
of the most fluent and pleasing speak
ers in the country, but he carries a
message that is of inestimable value
to the farmer and stock man. A list OF
the places that Prof. Shaw will visit is
given below and the residents of the

a car at this station with HOO of his
choicest melons and shipped them on
to the house of Geo. Vipon & Co. Judge
of his surprise and disgust some time
afterward upon receiving a dispatch
that the melons had arrived at their
destination in first-class condition,
but the firm refused to accept them,
on the ground that the company had
placed no such order. And there they
are, knight holding the sack, the Win
nipeg house refusing to honor the or
der of its representative, and the rail-
road sparring for the freight bill. Mr.
Knight will turn the consignment over
to the railroad and the company will
do what it can to slough off the
melons to the best advantage, but by
the time that can be done, if done at
all, the weather will be so cold in the
east that consumers can hardly be
found, as watermelons are not a pop
ular diet during the fur and overcoat
season.

VICTIMIZED

J. T. knight, the watermelon king,
who raised enough enormous, juicy
melons on his place a short distance
south of town this season to feed the
state, had a very discouraging eXper-
ience with the big shipment of the
fruit of the vine that he made a few
weeks ago When the melon season
was in its prime suave, ingratiating,
smooth individual giving his name as
H. Harold, and representing himself
to be a member of the firm Of Geo
Vipon C Co., commission merchants
of Winnipeg, Canada, visited Oroville,
looked over Mr.. Knights field dotted
with fat, lucious looking melons, and
contracted to take car load, deliver
ed to the house at Winnipeg. Mr..
Knight could readily supply car
load. or a dozen car loads, averaging
in the neighborhood of 40 pounds
each, and rather congratulated him
self upon the big order. He loaded

INFORMAL RECEPTION

the elegant new library building will
be held next Wednesday evening, Oc-
tober @27, by the ladies of the Civic
League. An invitation is extended to
everybody, and it is hoped by the men,
bers of the league that everybody will
accept the invitation in the cordial
spirit in which it is extended. Light
refreshments will be served and the
evening spent in informal social in
tercourse. This will give all those
who have not already done so an op-
portunity to inspect one of the pret-
tiest and most tasty library buildings
that is to be seen in any of the smaller
towns of the state, building that
should be the pride of every resident
of the town, as it stands a credit to
the organization instrumental in its
construction.

SOME APPLES

No, Mabel; those specimens of the
fruits of the earth on display at the
Gazette office are not pumpkins. They
are samples of the Wolf River va
riety of apples. They are brand of
apples that have habit of developing
to a great size, the more favored the
locality for development the greater
the size. The upper Okanogan
country is especially adapted to the
development of fruits of all kinds, and
hence the reason why the Wolf River
apple so often attains dimensions that
lead people to mistake them for pump
kins. When you look at them the
wonder is how the branches of tree
will sustain such weight. The speci-
mems at the Gazette office measure
II inches in circumference, and they
are both shapely and well colored.
These apples came from Al Riste's
place, under the shadow of Mount
Chopaka, in the Similkameen valley.
TO all intents and purposes the soil
il similar to the Okanogan valley,
where everything hat grows reaches
perfection of development, whether 1t
be fruits of tree, bush or vine, or
grasses, grains or vegetables. 1t is
a land that responds generously to
the efforts of the husbandman, and
he who is looking for home where
the very best results are certain as a
reward for sustained and intelligent
effort need seek no further.

SAN FRANCISCO EXCURSION

That booster excursion train from
the Okanogan valley to the San Fran
cisco exposition is scheduled to leave
Oroville next Monday morning at .
O'Clock, and the fare for the rouhd
trip. including berth and meals on the
steamer from Portland to San Fran
cisco is only $52. So far as can be
learned Oroville is not to be largely
represented. When the plan was 1lrs'
promulgated several persons sho"eu
svmptons of taking advantage OF the
reduced rates, but since that tiile
nothing more has been heard from
tbem About a dozen Molsonites are
expected to join the excursion anu
they may do so. Inquiry as 10 the
trip was received from two residents
of Kalowna, B. c., and they may JOIN
the party here. If any one cohlel"-
nlates making the trip to San fran
cisco before the close OF the eNpoSi-
ton in December they certainly shouio
not overlook this exceptional chahce

this is a late hour to finally deere

game should be close and exciting.
The football season is short and fu-
rious, generally ending on Thanks
giving, so that there is not likely to
be many contests in Oroville during
the next 80 days the time that tho
boys have to play, hence when a game
is scheduled for this place the public
should turn out en- masse to encour-
age the high school lads. People in
the west are not as familiar with
football as baseball, and the game
does not seem as interesting to them,
yet when one once gets a line on the
plays football is even more exciting
than baseball The only way to learn
the points is to attend the games, and
whenever a game is billed in Orovillo
the entire population should swarm
to the field and get wise to the fine
points. Remember the hour, 2:45, and

A MEETING THAT FAILED

Evidently the citizens of Oroville
take very little interest in the organ

In response to the call for a public
meeting held in the library building
tuesday evening, for the object of TAX
Ing steps to perfect the organization
OF fire companies, only some half doz-
en- people were present, and, of course,
no action was taken. With such an
exhibition of Indifference it is not like
ly that another attempt will be made
to get people together for that object.

rance as to what should be done pre-
walls, and the apparatus generally is
not in shape for immediate action.
Usually it is the younger members Of
community that rally to the call and
take charge of the fire apparatus. In
small towns it is the custom of men
in all walks of live to lend aid in
handling the means for extinguishing
fire. 1t seems that III this age people
expect to be recompensed for any eX-
ertion they may be called upon to
make, and do not feei inclined to lend
voluntary aid, even though owning
property that may be jeOpardized in
case of fire. If the organization of a
| fire company, or sufficient number
of companies to handle the apparatus
| in the ordinary way is impossible it
| is suggested that few of the older
cocks, not averse to personal eXer-
ton for the common good, get to-
gether and form some kind OF or
ganization with the aim OF taking
charge of fires and handling the ma

possibly somewhat handicapped with
age, who have had considerable eX-
perience as firemen, and we could,

A social dance will be given at the
home of Mrs. H. l.. Allen, near Wani-
cut lake, on Friday evening, November
., to which everybody is cordially in
vited. There will be basket supper,
and every lady attending is expected
to bring basket containing provis-
| ions. Social dances at the Allen home
are always sources of much pleasure
to those who are so fortunate as to
attend, and on the date of this event
there will probably be people enough
present to pretty we'll cover the home

The Oroville football team returned
from Okanogan last Thursday even
ing covered all owe, with bruises if
not glory, neither disappointed nor
discouraged with the result of the
game. They were received at the de-
pot by bevy of high school girls and
boys just the same as though they
were victors, and under the manage
ment of the high school girls a re-
ception was rendered them at the
Civic League librGry building. They

not have been more spontaneously en-
thusiastic had the boys come home as
victors.
A whole raft of foreign born citizens
took the oath of allegiance before
Judge Pendergast, at Okanogan, this
week. 1t is to be hoped that the Judge
impressed it upon the applicants that
taking the oath of allegiance to the
United States of America means the
severing of all relations with foreign
countries, and that they are now
Americans before they are subjects
to any king, prince, kaiser or poten-
tate. There are already too many

day From a Trip to Golden
Gate City.

aCoI. C. b. Little, president of the
First National bank, returned yester-
day from San Francisco, where he at
tended the Panama exposition and
visited other Pacific coast cities. He
has been gone for several weeks.
Il believe he said, that North Da'
kota made a good investment In
erecting a building on the Panama ex-
position grounds. Minnesota and Mon
tana are without representation there,
so that our state building is practl-
cally the headquarters for the North
west.
The exhibits are nicely arranged
and reflect we'll the resources and
advantages of this state. Thousands
of visitors from all parts OF the coun'
try have visited the building and we
should secure definite results in the
way of settlers.
1.-THE building is we'll located. Those
in charge have made a very. attrac-
tive exhibit"
Col. Little was especially impressed
with the architectural beauty of the
exposition. From the artistic stand
point, he was inclined to believe that
the Frisco fair surpasses all others.
The "See America First campaign
started when war broke out is having
its results upon the attendance. Col.
Little says the attendance has been
exceptionally good, breaking records
established by former expositions.
The exposition, he says, is just
getting a. good start. That North
Dakota is better off in a bust
ness way than the coast is ev-
ident, he said. There is considerable
complaint in the coast cities about
business conditions which, Col. Little
states, only brings home with great
er significance the advantages Of liv-
ing in such a good state as North Da-
kOta.

Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to
Take Salts and Get Rid Of
Uric Acid.

Rheumatism is no respecter OF age,
sex, color or rank. If not the most
dangerous of human Affections. It is
one of the most painful. Those sub
ject to rheumatism should eat less
meat, dress as warmly as possible,
avoid any undue exposure and, above
all, drink lots of pure water.
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
which is generated in the bowels and
a%bsorbedinto the blood. 1t is the func-
ton of the kidneys to filter this acid
from the blood and cast it out in the
urine; the pores o fthe skin are also
a means of freeing the blood OF this
!mpurity. In damp and chilly, cold
weather the skin pores are closed,
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work; they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate this uric acid,
which keeps accommodating and circn.,
lating through the system, eventually
settling in the joints and muscles,
causing stiffness, soreness and pain
called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts put q table
spoonful in a glas sof Water and drink
before breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said TO eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus Kidding the blood
OF these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made fro mthe acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
and is used with excellent results BY
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you. have a pleas
ant, e~ffervescent lithia-water drink,
which overcomes uric acid and is ben
efcial to your kidneys as well.-Adv.
