WORKING HAND IN HAND.

The several real estate firms and indi-
vidual dealers in town have formed an
organization to be known as the "OrO-
Vile Real Estate Dealers Association" "
and will work together harmoniously
although continuing as distinctive in
individual dealers. This organization
will be beneficial to both those engaged
in the business of handling real estate
and to prospective investors. The Or
ganiZatiOn is not for the purpose of
Initiating prices, but of working in con-
junction in looking after those coming
into the country to buy land and to
facilitate them in securing what they
may desire. Ordinarily the real estate
dealers in place carry on a piratical
system with the good of the country
subordinate to personal advantage,
and not infrequently resort to methods
and means that are unprofessional
and detrimental to securing new set
tiers. Where there is not a mutual
understanding among dealers, when
one dealer gets in touch with a pos
sible buyer, and has nothing the buy
er wants, it has been the practice TO
either decry what other dealers handle
OF shunt the stranger out of town and
lose him entirely as a resident. Under
the agreement and understanding that
the local dealers have entered into if
one member of the association has not
on his list the exact kind of prOpo-
SitiCn that the visitor wants he is rec
commended to another dealer who
may have just the property the stran-
ger is looking for. Nothing could be
fairer for all concerned, nor more
conductive to friendly business rela-
tions. Moreover, it impresses the
stranger that he is not in the hands
of those who wish to force him to ac-
cept something that he does not want
and that the desire exists to secure
him for a permanent resident. Then
the dealers as a body formulate plans
for taking prospective investors in
hand and giving them every oppOrtun-
Iity to carefully investigate the sur
rounding country and familiarize him.
self with the general situation. He is
thus in position to make such selec
, tions of land as he deems the mos
favorable. The OrOville Real Estate
Dealers Association is founded upor
the right principle, and backed by mer
of principle it can be made forcefu
and useful factor in settling up botf
town and country. 1t looks like the
first step in campaign that will re
suit in the infusion of much new bloot
in the communities within and with
out the corporate limits during the
ensuing year.

DAILY TRAINS AGAIN.

Thursday the daily passenger SER
vice on the Oroville-Wenatchee branch
was resumed after some three weeks
of a tri-weekly service, much to the
convenience and satisfaction of the
people along the route. The change
from daily passenger to mixed train
service thrice week was forced upon
the Great Northern by the prolonged
blockade between Wenatchee and the
coast. The branch engines are oil con-
sumers, the supply of oil comes from
the coast, and with the fuel supply cut
down and off so that the strictest
economy had to be exercised in its use,
a reduction of train service became i'm
perative. But when you come to think
about it the people of the valley are
becoming rather particular in their
demands for transportation service
considering what they were satisfied
with in the past. 1t was only few
years ago when a stage drawn by cay
uses, and slow travellers at that, was
considered a great convenience. Then
the automobile cut down the time and
was considered a luxury. When three
times a week train service was at last
secured the period of extreme happi-
ness, satisfaction and content was
reached by those who were compelled
to travel from place to place along the
valley. 1t was not long until three
times week was considered too slow
and irksome, and a daily service was
demanded SO there you are. The hui
man family is never satisfied with a
good thing. 1t is always yearning for
something better. Feed them little
modern convenience and they want

DIED in THE SOUTH.

Some weeks ago Clay and Clint
Hershberger left Oroville with their
brother, Ray Hershberger, for Arizona
The young man had been sufferer
for long time from tuberculosis and
had been slowly fading away. At the
time of departure young Hershberger
was in critical condition, and had
been treated at st. Joseph's hospital
for some time. AS his strength was
steadily failing it was hoped that a
change to a dryer and warmer climate
might work beneficial effect, and
p1olong his life even if it did not
effect a permanent cure. But the in
sidious disease had too firm hold,
and the unfortunate young man died
before reaching his destination. Death
occurred February 8. Clay Hershber-
ger returned home Monday bringing
the sad news. He did not write as he
started north Immediately after the
death of his brother, but was delayed
by washouts on the roads. Clint
Hershberger went to his old home in
West Virginia to make visit before
returning to Okanogan county.
While not unexpected the death of
Ray Hershberger was sad news to his
relatives and many friends. He was a
young man Of sterling character and
bright prospects. Up to the time he
contracted the disease that finally
proved fatal he was strong, robust
man. He was highly respected and a
great favorite among all who knew
him. The sympathy of the community
is extended to the relatives who spared
no expense nor attention in their ef-
fort to find relief for the stricken
young man. In the south, where he fin
ally passed away and was buried, the
doctors called to treat him in his last
hours stated that the immediate cause
of death was kindney disease.

FOR MUTUAL BENEFIT.

The real estate dealers have formed
an association known as the Oroville
Real Estate Dealers Association, with
the following membership: Osoyoos
company, Hart & Mills, L. F. Pour
tales, R. Butler, E. D. Cartier Van
Dissel, E. Truax and j. A. Blackler.
The purpose is to create more har-
mony among real estate dealers and
land owners and thereby help towards
the satisfactory location of all pros
pective settlers. Any land owner wish
ing to list his land for sale will con-
slider that he has listed it with all
when listing with any one member. A
uniform commission of per cent will
be charged by members for making
sales of land within the irrigation
district.

strongly favor a measure for relief,

up in committee, and be prepared to
explain by facts and figures the con-
ditions out here, the benefit that the
water will be to the Indian lands and

that the district could not afford to
meet the expense of sending a repre-
sentative to Washington, and as the
two towns of Oroville and Tonasket
were to benefit through the system,
and were not called upon to pay any Of
more than fair that the business men
of the towns should provide the means
to pay the expenses of such a repre-
sentative to Washington. 1t was the
consensus of opinion of those present
that such a proposal was no more
than fair, and that the towns should
contribute sufficient sum to carry

is no more than a like quantity of land

matrially relieve the balance of the

A DELAYED ITEM.

You have heard of the delayed steal
in base ball, the delayed pass in foot
ball, delayed train, not unusual this
winter, and delayed payments. which
is the most common delay known to
mankind, but this is simply delayed
story. 1t is somewhat ancient history
now, but was in shape for the issue Of
last week. yet through some incompre-
henslble mistake the item failed to get
into type.
The st. Valentine day MUSCLE, given
at the home of Mrs. Frank NJ Dallam,
Monday, for the benefit of Trinity
Guild, was pronounced by the large
number of ladies who had the good
fortune to be present as the most thor
oughly enjoyable entertainment that
has ever been given in Oroville by To-
cal talent. Every number on the pro-
gram was delightfully."- rendered and
altogether the efforts of those who
took part were exceptionally meritOr-
ious. The piano solos were charming,
the vocal selections most pleasing and
the readings of an unusually high Or
der of merit The large double room
in which the affair was held was tas-
|tily decorated in keeping with the
day and the occasion. Light refresh
ments were served during the after
noon. Many of the ladies have express
ed the wish that the entertainment
could be repeated in public hall so
that the male members of the commun-
ity as we'll as those ladies who were
not present might have the privilege
and pleasure of hearing the perform
|ers. The program as presented was as
