OLD TIME VISITORS.

Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Thompson
spent the week in Oroville visiting
with relatives. Both Mr.. and Mrs.
Thompson are preachers of the
Methodist faith, and have held mis-
|sions in Okanogan in years past. AT
present, they are located at Clarks
Fork, Idaho. Mr.. Thompson resided at
Loomis when he first came to the
county number of years ago, and be-
fore he entered the ministry At all
times, however, he was interested in
church and Sunday school work A
kind hearted young man he was in
those days land he has never gotten
over that attributed and made friends
and lots of them among the denizens
of what was then one of the livlicsc
mining camps in the northwest. From
Loomis Mr. Thompson came to Oro-
vile, and after taking up church work
in earnest was at the beck ana call of
the M. e. conference, and has been
distributed around to various charges

During the year just drawing to
close Oroville has not made the advan-
cement so confidently expected at the
beginning of 1916, although it has not
stood still entirely. In this respect
Oroville is no exception to the rule
among the smaller towns of the state.
Few of them have made any material
growth during the past twelve months,
and even the larger cities have exper-
fenced no building BOOM II prosperity
exists in the state it has not manifest
ed itself in real estate activity accom-
panied by any extensive and perman-
ent improvements. This condition is
not going to continue indefinitely, and
there is good reason to feel that
change for the better is to manifest
itself during the new year. The people
of Oroville may look forward with an
ticipation of a decided change for the
better in the way of building during
the coming season. Indications point to
the Inauguration of considerable i'm
provements on the plant at the falls
of the Similkameen, there are excellent
prospects of many new settlers under
the irrigation project. and already one
hears of a number of new residences
that are to be constructed. Just now
the outlook is pretty bright for live
ly summer.

the master of financial income from

The British cabinet does not believe
in a patch work peace at this time at
an indecisive period of the war, as the
feeling prevails that any basis of peace
that could be reached would be without
assurance of future appeal to arms,
and the establishment of condition
wherein future war would be almost
impossible is the aim of England. Then
the allies do not place much trust in
the olive branch held out in the mailed
fist. England and France have made
too great sacrifices to enter into nego-
tiations without the prospect of some
compensation. But it is the doubt of
the sincerity of the central powers
that Is a stumbling book in the way
of reaching an understanding at this
time. A prominent member Of the Eng
lish cabinet in a recent address said:
"In my opinion if France and our
selves were to enter into negotiations
under existing conditions, we would
be nations in bondage. Nothing less
than that is the price the enemy
would exact for peace today" And the
dove is still hunting for roosting
place.
