by Carranzaistas There were nothing
like so many killed in the war with

Three hundred killed the militia

billion dollars incurred
Yet there are people who say ap-

ject in the state or the northwest for
that matter, that has been successfully
financed and undertaken under the
district irrigation laws.
Surplus holdings of local land own
ers have been pledged to the district
officers with a 40-acre individual unit
maximum at prices ranging from $40
to about $S5 an acre on easy terms, so
that speculation will be eliminated and
an inducement offered to actual new
settlers. The water right price is $63
an acre, payable in installments dur
ing the last half of a 20year period.
No part of the principal is required to
be paid for the first ten years.
The altitude of the lands is between
900 and 1000 feet, being anly about 800
feet higher than the famous We
natchee valley. A rich volcanic ash
soil, air drainage, immunity from
frost and a long and warm growing
season make the project lands highly
adaptable to the growing of apples,
and fruits of all kinds. At the same
time, the prices for land and water are
so moderate as to Re attractive from

WORK RENEWED.

Word was received from w. B. Ches-
ney this week that work had COM
menced again at the Ivanhoe mine
after a suspension of two weeks on ac-
count of the holidays An engineer was
at the mine several days comforting
with Mr.. McChesney upon plans for the
treatment plant that the company con-
templates building and equipping in
the spring. This plaut will be on the
shore of Palmer lake, directly below
the tunnel site at a distance of only a
few hundred yards. 1t is the purpose of
Manager McChesney to continue work
steadily, blocking c 1t and removing
ore Mr.. McChesney will give out more
information henceforth than he cared
to do so long as his enterprise was in
the nature of an experiment, and the
Gazette will be able to mention pro-
gress made at the property in the way
of ore extraction, underground devel-
opment and construction, from time to
time. While this publicity is not sought
by the company, it is felt that any sue
cess that may be met with at the Ivan
hoe will benefit the country and en-
courage others to inaugurate work on
properties in the district.

SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT.

A large and delighted audience as
sembled at the Orrheum Wednesday
evening on the occasion OF the enter
tainment given by the pupils of the
public school. 1t was most unfavor-
able evening for people to get out,
otherwise the hall would have been
crowded to the limit. In the past the
school has given number OF
performances, but in no instance has
any of them equaled the one of We'd
nesday night. The young people were
perfectly at home on the stage, had
their several parts perfectly, and did
better than many of the professional
travelling companies. The comedy skits
kept the audience in a roar, and the
musical numbers were well rendered.
Every one of the young ladies and gen
tlemen taking part deserves special
mention. At this late day in the week
it is impossible to give the entertain
ment that full mention that it de-
serves, and the Gazette can only con
gratulate those takirg part on the eX-
cellency Of the performance.

the face of years during which the
property remained idle, and the natu-
raj encouragement of hopes deferred,
he has held on to the belief that even
tually the lvanhoe would prove to be
a winner. 1t is a pleasure to know
that his long wait has every prospect
of being rewarded by the realization
of his hopes and we trust that he
will live long to enjoy handsome
competency from the output of the old
mine. In his Letter to the Gazette Mr..

OROYILLE WINNERS.

Last Friday ever ing the Oroville
high school basket ball team trimmed
the Republic high school team, at the
gym OF the local high school, to the
tune of 36 to IL, before a large and
interested crowd of spectators. The
game was never at any time close
enough to be exciting. The visitors
were outplayed at every point, with the
exception of shooting baskets on fouls.
AT that stunt Republic had far the best
of the locals. in the eagerness of play
that at times borCered on Grecio-
Roman wrestling, fouls were numer-
GUS and majority of Republics points
were accumulated from that source,
while Oroville continually failed to ne
gotiate baskets on fouls. The locals
were able to keep the ball out of Re-
public territory, and tho visitors had
few chances to try Tor the net. The
game was very interesting, notwith-
standing the one sided score. With
more practice the Republic team will
make formidable opponents, and the
result may be reversed when Oroville
goes to Republic for the return game
a few weeks hence.

FIERCE FRIGIDITY,

The banana belt got it good and hard
this week, and if any bananas happen
ed to be out of doors escaped, the fact
has not yet been discovered. An unu-
sual winter was made more unusual
by very unusually penetrating cold
wave that swept down from the north
pole Sunday night, atroi kept IL up for
about 81 hours. Sun lay was about as
pleasant winter day as one could
desire to experience. Snow fell, il is
true, but the temperature was mild,
and tn snow, such as it was, was a
pleasure to be out in. The change came
suddenly about 8 of the clock Sunday
evening. AT first gentle zephyr from
the north gave the falling snow
southwark slant, bu in few minutes
the gentle zephyr had become a howl
ing blizzard with rapidly falling tenn
perature. A north wind in this valley
is anything but conducive to comort
at any season of the year, but when
it is bowling out tthe Arctic circle
in the middle OF winter the discom-
Torture is beyond description. The wind
fairly shrieked and rocked the habita-
tions of man all night, whipping the
snow through the air and piling it UP
in heavy drifts. Wind has the unpleas-
ant habit of hanging on when it once
starts in this valley, and the storm
started Sunday night did not blow it.
self out until early Tuesday morning.
Monday was one of the most unendur-
able days experienced here for years.
The mercury moved down to zero and
below and the wind aever let up for a
minute. Only when it was absolutely
necessary did people stick their noses
out of doors. The cold was insistent,
keen and bitter. Water pipes froze al
most everywhere, and even steam heat
ed buildings could not be kept COM
Portable. Binding snow whirled and
eddied through the valley, sitting into
every crack, crevice and Granny. Few
children were enabled to attend school
and they only the oldest. The railroad
especially suffered The Spokane train
did get through both ways with great
deal of difficulty, but no train got
through Monday on the Wenatchee
branch This chilly experience made
meteorological history that will stand
for comparisons in future years when
the old inhabitant is expaciating upon
weather conditions.

ANOTHER BIG STRIKE.

Following the recent big strike of
ore in the Ivanhoe mine, news has been
received that Mr.. John Killian has Just
opened a large deposit of schist that
averages $500 in gold to the ton
the whole width of the shaft at the
bottom. The assays were made by the
Washington State College at Pullman,
Washington, and the samples were
taken by one of the most conservative
mining men in Oro"ille. This belt of
schist is over so feet wide and it will
probably develope that the entire mass
is fine ore This prouerty is two miles
south of town and near Mr.. Killian' s
residence Until the visit of Prof. F.
NJ Handy of Pullman college last sum-
mer no one had ever thought of look
ing for gold in the schists and states
in this section. Mr.. Handy's visit to
this section was one CT the results OF
the organization of the Northwest
Mining Association at Oroville.

WILL HE REPEAT?

Pat Kearney was in town last week
on his way to his home near Tonasket
from the Chesaw neighborhood, where
he has been working on a promising
claim for some time. Mr.. Kearney had
a handsome specimen Of copper ore
that he left on exhibit at the First Nat
ional bank. Mr.. Kearney thinks that he
has world beater. and he sure has
if there Is any quantity of ore such as
the sample he brought in. Mining is
not a new experiment for Pat Kear-
ney He worked one of the first ship

near Colville. That vas away back in

were loaded with money from ore ship

somewhat strange if Mr.. Kearney
would again make stake out of min
ing after being out of the game for
so long a time We knew him when he
was on the top wave Of prosperity be-
fore, and here's wishing that he may

SEED ASSOCIATION.

The farmers Of this part of the val
ley are in earnest in the movement to
organize a Seed Growers association
Some of the best known and most ener-
getic land owners in this vicinity have
expressed their intentions to try the
experiment, and are interesting their
neighbors in the proposition. 1t is re-
allied that if commercial seed growing
can be made a success here it will
prove one of the most profitable indus
tries farmers can engage in, meaning
large and quick returns. Another meet
ing of those interested in the subject
is to be held in the town hall Saturday
afternoon. January 21, and all land
owners are invited to be present.
