the match Oroville cleaned up every
thing that was to be cleaned in the
way of contests at the county seat last
week.
Dick Butler came in Monday even
ing from Minneapolis, where he was
called by the illness of his mother
some weeks ago. While we are re-
ioicing over the prospects of the II
rigation system it should not De lor-
gotten that the district owes much 10
the efforts of Mr. Butler that the rail-
road has taken action. While in MIN
neapolis Mr.. Butler made NUMBER
of visits to st. Paul, where he urged
the necessity of early action on the
project before railroad officials at
headquarters. His representations
and plea found favorable response ana
as a result today the project is almost
a certainty. at least so near certain |
ty that we are justified in predicting
the beginning of work this summer.
Few people have any idea of the
raft of stuff in the way of communlca-
tons, offers of exchange of articles
for advertising space, boosts Tor var
ious individuals, institutions and COM
munities that come to the table OF a
country publisher seeking a place in
the columns of his paper. Or course
| the senders forget to inclose single
cent to pay for the space to be oc-
| cupied. There is enough of it, if
used to fill a daily paper. Some pa
pcrs must use the screeds or those
| who send the stuff out would finally
become tired of the waste of time and
labor and break away. However the
practice contributes to the postal re-
| oeipts even if it does keep the waste
basket of the newspaper man per-
lpetually overlooking.
Oscar Lachmund and A. f. H. Meyer
Of Greenwood, and f. S. Norcross, of
! Copper mountain, spent Sunday night
| in Oroville, coming over from Green
| wood in a car. Monday they inspected
| a mining property in this vicinity.
| These men are connected with one of
the largest mining corporations in
British Columbia, a corporation that
has mined and smelted ores at vast
profit for years. They are ON the con-
slant lookout for properties of merit,
and should they take hold of any
! claims near Oroville it will be the
| first time that real mining men with
capital to go steadily ahead and make
| thorough development have secured a
| foothold in Okanogan county. If they
ever start in to make Investigations
that property they investigate has
| some indication of distinctive merit,
| as that is the only kind of property
| they would have anything to do with
They would demonstrate for once and
| for all if mineral exists in this coun-
try in sufficient quantities to pay for
taking it out.
Oscar Trummel made about as quick
q switch of residence as any man we
| ever heard of, except in cases where
| changes were made between two days.
| for obvious reasons. Sunday Mr..
Trummel considered himself a per-
manent resident of Oroville Monday
he received telegram from a brother
living at st. Maries, Idaho, stating
that the brother had purchased a bar
Der shop and pool room for him, and
that he must come at once. Tuesday
morning Mr.. Trummel and family left
for their new home. The opening is
an especially desirable one. The own
er OF the shop had to sell out owing to
Ill health, and the business was pur-
] chased at bargain. Besides the shop
and pool room Mr.. Trummel will have
the agency of the Spokesman-Revie
which is a very valuable holding in a
town the size of ST. Maries. While it
is a fortunate opportunity for Mr..
Trummel his departure is a misfor-
| tune to Oroville. Mr.. Trummel was
the leader in the orchestra, an organi-
zdtlon that was built up to it's present
eXcellency through his exertions. and
he was also valuable factor in the
band But the chance was one in a
LIE time, and he could not afford 10
turn it down.
