There is much more optimistic
feeling prevailing here just now than
was noticeable a fortnight ago This
change of sentiment has grown out OF
the conviction that the irrigation pro-
ject, to reclaim 10000 acres of the
richest land in the state, is about to
materialize. 1t requires no prophetic
eye TO see what transformation the
construction OF that system would
work in this part of the Okanogan
valley. 1t would hasten development,
attract many new people, bring the
land under the highest stage of Guilt
walton, provide homes, employment
and support to hundreds, and speedily
build up the towns within immediate
touch of the project. 1t would be es-
pecially beneficial to Oroville, situated
as it is on a system of railroads that
open markets TO the east and west,
this the natural trading and
shipping center of the district With
such an encouraging and cheering
outlook the people of Oroville certain
l. have reasons to brace up and feel
that bright and prosperous future is
before the town.

Looking at it from one angle, the
prevailing hard times and the general
misery across the water, it does seem
rather out of place TO spend a large
sum on 4th of July celebration, but
take it from other view points and
any expenditure that might be made
for this purpose is we'll worth the
cost. Celebrating the 4th OF July is
a forceful way of keeping alive the
spirit OF loyalty to the country and the
flag, and that is spirit that needs fos-
tcring at this time. Again, if there
IS any community in the state that has
a celebration coming this year it is
Oroville. A general hurrah can have
a two-fold import at this time and in
this place. 1t will revive patriotism
and at the same time commemorate
the accomplishment OF one OF the
greatest bits of local good fortune that
has ever come this way, and that is
the promise of the attainment of the
Zig irrigation system. That in itself
deserves a celebration, and the COM
should let loose a greater
demonstration of joyfulness than has
ever before marked a celebration of
any kid in northern Okanogan

CORES pondcnts of the Spokesman
Review have suggested chat the ques-
ton of the United States declaring
war against Germany be decided by a
referendum vote. but offer no sugges-
ton as to how the question is TO be
presented to the voter. In the first
place the declaring of war against
Germany is a very remote possibility
and such a misfortune can only he
forced upon the country by the action
OF Germany. In that case are the
people TO decide by ballot whether
they wish war at the expense OF a
dishonerable peace? Every rational
man is opposed to war when the
country can honorably remain at
peace. and the man who would advo-
cate peace in the face Of dishonor to
the United States IS not worthy to live
under the stars and stripes. Upon a
question of that kind it would hardly
be proper for natives OF any of the
belligerant countries to vote upon the
question. for their vote would be in
huenced wholly by prejudicial SYM
patty. SO how could a referendum be
taken in a case of this kind?

The German submarines are taking
regular daily toll on the shipping OF
the sea. and it seems to be matter OF
perfect Indifference as to the nation
atty OF the craft that are sent to the
bottom. 1t is an open season for
those who go down 10 the sea in ships
in the eyes of the commanders OF
those under water engines of destruc-
ton Ships flying the flags of Nor
way. Sweden, Denmark and Portugal
have been torpedoed recently, with an
American vessel thrown in occasion
ally for full measure. That may be
proper warfare since barbarism has
supplanted civilization but after while
neutral nations will get tired of ii
and more countries will be dragged
into the vortex of war.
