titled The Moment Before" with
Pauline Frederick in the leading role

become the Duchess of Maldon. The
wild scenes of Gypsy life and the plots

fever heat from start to finish. The
scenes of this production were taken
in the Bermudas and are beautiful al
most beyond description. Also this
week Farmer Alfalfa gets his revenge
for the many things he has had to
suffer at the hands of the screen artist
Matinee starts promptly at 3 p. m.
For next Wednesday and Thursday
"The Innocent Lie" will be the offer

SECURES RIGHT-OFWAY
ACROSS INDIAN LANDS.

The Irrigation District is in receipt
OF a decision from Assistant Commits
sioner of the Department of the Inter-
ior, to the effect that right of-way for
the irrigation canal across the Indian
lands of the district has been granted.
The first decision of the department
was unfavorable and an appeal was
made from the decision with the re-
suits above stated.
The matter has been handled for the
District by Judge c. H. Neal and has
been under way for period of over
three years. 1t is very gratifying TO the
district to secure these permits at this
time as the District is also securing
from other landowners final papers
for right-of- way for the canal system

ANOTHER FIRE.

Last Friday evening, Just as the
train from Spokane pulled in. the roar
OF the siren jerked the population info
the streets, and an angry glow in the
extreme southern part of town indi.
Gated where the annihilating element
was getting in its work. BY the aid of
autos the hose carts were hauled IN
the scene and two well directed
streams OF water soon had the flames
under control, but not until the build
ing was completely gutted and all the
contents destroyed. The department
did splendid work in preventing the
spread OF the fire to adjacent buildings
one of which was not a dozen feet
from the BURNING structure.
The residence destroyed was owned
and occupied by Jas. II. Holmes. and
the loss is partially covered by insur-
ance. Mr.. and Mrs. Holmes left q
fire in one of those sheet iron stoves
known as Queen, while they visited
with nearby neighbors. The fire un-
doubtedly caught from the stove, and
when discovered had made such head
way that it was impossible to enter
the building and save any of the fur
niture, all of which was total loss.
Among the articles lost were num-
ber of valuable pictures. while Mr..
Holmes lost number of heirlooms of
no great intrinsic value, but which
he set much store upon and which can
never be replaced.

number of years and will remain
south the rest of the winter. Mr. Pick
in is one of the oldest and best known
sheep raisers in Northern Okanogan
county, although just at the present
time he is out of the business and has
been out for year. In the fall OF
1915 the price of sheep had reached
point where it looked like good judg-
ment to unload, and Mr.. Pickin did
so at a very comfortable profit, but
this year when he decided to reinvest
in mutton on the hoof he found the
'article out of reach, or at least it had
reached value beyond anything that
would Justify investment. He mas
made success of the business, knows
it from to lizard, and will be back
into it again at some future time.

Your committee appointed by the
court, on behalf of the Bar Associa-
tion of Okanogan county, to prepare
resolutions on the death of the Honor
able e. X. Pendergast, late judge OF
the Superior Court for Okanogan
county, state of Washington, beg leave
to present the following:
Whereas, The Great Creator in his
infinite wisdom has been pleased to
remove from the cares and troubles
of this transitory life the Honorable
E. X. Pendergast. Judge Of our Super
or Court, and
Whereas, Judge Pendergast by reas-
on of his keen and active mind, his
Intellectual attainments, his great
store of legal learning and his long
and successful experience as a lawyer
and Judge, and above all by reason OF
his sterling worth as u man and cit
izen occupied high place among the
members of the Bench and Bar OF the
State of Washington, and commanded
the respect and high regard of all his
associates and fellow citizens, and
Whereas, The sudden though peace"
full and happy ending of his successful
active and honorable life is a great
loss to the county and state wherein
he lived and worked and more griev-
GUS and personal loss to his associates
in this association, and
Whereas, The bereaved widow and
son to whom the devoted husband and
father was attached by bonds of love
unusually strong, yet tender, suffer
the greatest loss of all by reason of
the sudden calling of their loved one
to higher life.

ty, Washington, that we most deeply
deplore the loss of our departed friend

this, their hour Of desOlation.

recommend that copy of these reso-
lutions be ordered to be entered up.

the departed so Justly and uprightly,
presided. and that certified copy of
the record thereof be sent by the clerk
Of said court to the widow and son of
the deceased.

A PROFITABLE CROP.

Mr.. Editor 80 -
The future prosperity OF the Okano-
gan valley, and more especially the
district surrounding Oroyille, is an as
sured fact. The corn and potatoes rails
ed here cannot be excelled, which has
| been demonstrated during the past
season. j. T. McAllister planted one
sack OF Melted Gem potatoes and har-
vested 81 sacks from the same. Not less
averaged over one pound to each po-
tatoe. This is better than the Yakima
valley can show.
Oroville is fortunate in having such
a large territory contiguous to the
town suitable for raising potatoes. A
farmer here can take three tracts OF
land, say of ten acres each, and by
Iplanting potatoes in one of these tracts,
winter wheat in another and sowing
clover with the winter wheat he can
get five crops in three years. AS soon
as the potatoes are harvested the
ground Is in fine condition to receive
| the winter wheat and clover seed. The
wheat will be harvested early the next
July and late crop of clover can be
harvested, say late in September or
| early in October. About the middle oi
the next May a crop of clover can be
cut, two or three weeks later a second
lcrop of clover can be plowed under,
(making one of the very best fertiliz-
Iers). and crop of potatoes planted
Immediately, which should yield not
less than eight tons of potatoes to the
acre. Such system of farming will
keep the land free from weeds and in a
high state of fertilization. AS potatoes
/, are very seldom lower than 75 cents
per 100 pounds at SIS per ton, this
means total of $120 per acre, and this
should net not less than $50 per acre.
Now, there is an assured market for
all the potatoes that can be raised
here. Instead of three car loads ship
ped out of Oroville each year there
should be at least $50 cars, netting the
farmers $45,000.
Negotiations are now under way to
furnish seed for two or three hundred
acres to farmers who will contract to
plant and cultivate their crops. Potatoe
diggers will be furnished, and the po-
tatoes sorted in the fields as in the
Yakima valley. The crop will be con
tracted for at the best market price at
harvest time. The idea of sorting the
potatoes in the field is that while most
of the farmers are honest, there are a
few who practice filling up the center
of the sack with small, unmcrchant-
able potatoes. / am glad 10 say that
such farmers are in the minority, but
they are the ones that are always com
planning Of the dealers trying to beat
them. After the merchantable potatoes,
and No. 1 should not be less than five
ounces, the farmer can get his seed
and enough fair sized potatoes for
home use, except for baking purposes.
The remaining small potatoes can be
used for hog feed. This is the system
of farming as ! was taught in ireland
as a boy.
In conjunction with the above | will
state that l paid Mr.. McAlistcr the
sum of $567O for 4235 pounds of his
potatoes, and he retained ten sacks for
seed for next year, and that from less
than one fifth of an acre of land.
