SOME CORN.
'ecretary.

Charlie Powell has had a quantity of
corn on exhibition at the Oroville
Commercial companys store during
the past week that would compare
very favorably with the best that is
raised in the famous corn belt of the
Mississippi valley. There was a time
when the erroneous impression pre-
vailed that corn could not mature in
this state, owing to the cool nights.
Experiments and experience has eX-
ploded that theory, and demonstrated
that corn can be made profitable
crop in this valley at least. 1t is only
more evidence OF the adaptability of
The soil and climate of the Okanogan
valley for the production of anything
raised out of the ground for the needs
from Frank St.nsbury's place, just
across the Okanogan river, east of
town. Mr.. StanS5uiy is a pioneer resi-
dent of this locality, and is one Of the
oldest and most experienced farmers
in eastern Washington. He farms
right, and the man who farms right
can succeed il this happily favored
part of the state. His home place is
one of the features among the orchards
and gardens of the upper valley, and
Mr.. Stancbury's success il tilling the
soil shows what man can accomplish
hereabouts when he just tries. Mr.
5tansburys land is similar in every
respect to all that under the West
.ogan Valley Irrigation sy1tem, 1t
no better nor no worse. TO the
stranger it is IN object lesson as to
what water backed with effort, on the
part of the husbandman, can induce
the soil to produce. With ample water
at the command of the land owners,
and that is what will be supplied every
acre under the big ditch project can
be made highly productive. Such men
as Mr.. Stansbury has established what
this land is capable of doing, and any
man with the willingness and vim 10
do. is assured CT the same reward LOT

This paper has correction to make
which is made with pleasure. In re-
cent issue a statement was made that
several mammoth sugar beets on ex-
hibition at the Oroville Commercial
Company's store were from Guy Gill
mour's hill ranch near town. That was
the information handed out to a repor-
ter, and was no surprise for the Gill
mour place sure turns out some fine
fruit and vegetables. 1t was an unin-
tentional mistake of the informant, for
in this case the beets were from c.
NJ Bottomleys valley ranch, few
miles south of town, which, also has
the faculty of yielding prolifically OF
the fruits of the soil. In the past, the
Bottomley output has been more gen.
orally known for superior beef cattle,
and lots of them, but the vegetable
monstrosities in the way of overgrown
gar-beets shows what the ranch can
do in the way of vegetable production

CALIFORNIA JUBILEE SINGERS.

This noted troupe of four colored
entertainers is billed to appear in the
Orpheum next Friday evening, Oct. 8,
under the auspices and for the bene-
fit of the High School Athletic Asso-
citation. No company has ever appear
ed in this place that came with more
favorable recommendations from
press and public. The entertainment
is said to be the best on the road, and
this paper feels safe in promising the
people Of Oroville high class per-
formance. Aside from the fact that
the entertainment will be one of the
best that has ever appeared in this
place, it must not be forgotten that the
performance is given for the benefit
of local organization that deserves
the united support Of the community.
The Woodland, Cal, Mail says:
THE California Quartet gave one
of the most enjoyable concerts heard
in this city for many months.
THE voices of the participants are
remarkable and the blend was per-
feet. The quartets, four in number,
came first on the program, and whet-
ted the expectation of the audience
for the solos, which followed. The
program ended with the sextette from
Lucia" and it has never been better
sung in this city. The entertainment
is deserving of all the praise short
