1t is pleasing flattery to our van
ity-for we are moved with pride over
the present condition and prospective
future of the town-to hear so many
words of praise and commentator
passed upon the appearance of Oroville
by strangers visiting the place, and
their predictions of great and speedy
growth. These comments and predic-
|tions have been expressed by men
whose knowledge of prevailing condi-
lions elsewhere extend beyond the mar
row environments of single commun-
lily. They have been uttered time and
|again by those who have travelled far,
visited many places, both large and
small, have had opportunity to size up
the situation as existing elsewhere and
have been observant as they have pass
ed from place to place. The eulogies
upon the town were not affected
speech nor strained periods of praise
for the purpose of tickling ears of the
local inhabitant. They were spontane-
Gus utterances, given expression after
"a few days spent in town, seeing the
evidence of life, and casually meeting
business and professional men. Within
the past few weeks we have met and
heard the same sweet song from up
ward of a dozen strangers. Men from
the east, from the south, from the big
cities of the state. 1t was the same re-
frain. The beauty of surroundings, the
fortunate location as a railroad center.
the varied tributary resources, the ad-
vantages of a great irrigation system,
the ideal town site, the evidence of
unity among the people, the display of
civic pride, the signs of growth and
business activity. One and all freely
declared that they had seen no small
town in the state where there was
such an appearance of prosperity and
progress as right here in Oroville, nor
one that held out greater promise of
continued and substantial growth.

The long heralded commemorative

The long heralded commemorative
celebration of the completion of the
West Okanogan Valley Irrigation sys-
Item has taken place, and the public is
satisfied with the showing made, both
as to the attendance that includes units
drawn from all parts of the state, and
the entertainment furnished for the
Occasion At no time was it intended to
make the 18th day of June 4th of July.
The main object was to draw as many
i as possible from a distance, men worth
while, men holding position before the
public, men who are force in the
financial and commercial centers of the
state, to show them what a small num-
Der of people have accomplished in
initiating and carrying out an enter
prise that in it's scope is of more than
| local importance. The greatest feat
ures, the greatest extent, of that en-
terprise were here to display, and no
man could look upon it without being
Impressed with the magnitude of the
work, and the benefit it insures for a
vast area of fertile country. The foren-
sic features were all that could be de-
sired. The several orators made us feel
good with kind and cheering words of
ipraise. 1t is hoped that the strangers
within our gates went to their various
homes we'll satisfied with their recep-
ton and brief sojourn. We certainly
appreciate their coming, for it is felt
that more people of the right sort
whom we care to know it now know
that this part of the Okanogan valley
is very much of an Eden, without the
tribute to the wealth of the state in the
course of time. The celebration is all
over but the memory, and a pleasant
memory that will linger long with all
who narticinated

PROFIT in GOOD HOUSING
Modern Dwellings and Rent
Them to Miners.

At first glance there might not seem
to be close connection between good
housing and coal mining, but the fact
remains that able business men who
are handling the anthracite industry
have discovered that there is con.
nection and that 1t pays them. as pro-
ducers of anthracite. to see that their
employees are sheltered in modern
dwellings. So strongly convinced are
they Of this fact that the hard coal
region now contains some Of the best
examples of good housing in the coun-
try in the shape of villages planned
and erected by the coal companies
themselves and rented to mine EN-.
ployees.
Any big hard coal company will do
to illustrate the Improvement In
housing-Lehigh, Reading or SusQue-
hanna. The upper coal fields naturally
take pride in the progress made by
their biggest producer, the Lackawan-
ma, and that company's achievements
are in the fullest sense typical OF what
has been done.
For example, the Lackawanna has
built what is known as Concrete
City," The houses are virtually all
concrete, save for doors and windows.
An empty house can be flushed from
ceiling to cellar with hose without
damage. There is plerty of light and
air, and particular attention has been
paid to bathing facilities, which are so
important in the lives of coal miners.
Concrete City has been made dis.
tinctive community. with regular com
munity centers like Fairgrounds, and
the miners children have pleasure
resort with wading pools and other ap-
purtenances belonging to well-managed
Fairgrounds.

and narrow collar of the black fox adds the final fall touch. This frock has been reproduced also in navy blue velvet and satin with skunk trimming; and in gray, with smoked fox trim ming; but the black model is by far the smartest.
 The woman who buys new fall frock in the basque-bodice or fitted at-the-waistline effect should provide herself first with a new corset on the 'nipped in" lines. Otherwise her frock simply will not look right. This new corset is quite short at the hip and makes no pretense of confining the hips in long. slender lines. At the waist it is decidedly smaller than corset of last season in the same size and the woman who has been wearing a waistband of thirty inches will be surprised to find her waist a trim 26 inches. or 2S at most in the new corset, with no particular dis comfort. But of course she will pay for the slenderness of waist by fuller hips; and this fashion comments at the moment.
