nature there is a warm belt throush
the north part Of the Okanogan wi.

climate is mentioned particularly b..
cause climate counts with the stranscf

climate, with abundance Of water, per.
mits of a much greater diversity Of
crops and it is diversified farming that
is going to make farming pay under
the system. This district has the eli.
mate, the soil and the water, and that
is a combination that should appeal TO
those looking for locations in the IN
west.

A FEW BECAUSES.

A few reasons why the West Okla
hogan Valley Irrigation district has an
advantage over other irrigated districts
and hence should appeal to those seek
ing homes in the west:
Because the source of water supply
is never failing, and is ample in guam
ltity now and forever.
Because land can be purchased at
more reasonable figures than in other
irrigated districts.
Because the per acre cost of con-
struction is less than in almost any
other district.
Because the land is in close touch
with Oroville, a railroad center, with
Transportation east, west and south.
Because transportation is within
easy reach of every quarter section
under the ditch, via the Oroville-We-
natchee branch of the Great Northern
railway.
Because the soil contains all the ele-
ment that nature requires for the per-
feet development of the fruits of the
earth.
! Because the altitude is less than
one thousand feet, which permits the
growing of everything indigenous to
the temperate zone.
Because fruits raised in the valley
are the best grown in the entire coun-
TRY.
| Because the winters are much milder
than in other portions of the northwest
Because of its picturesque lake, it's
charming rivers. surrounding noun
tains and its general scenic beauty.
Because of it's educational advan-
tages at the towns within the district
Because the moderate heat of sum-
mer is tempered with the cool and in
|vigorating nights.
| Because you can raise anything
grown in the temperate zone and lots
of it.
Because after living here for time
lyOu become so enamored of the country
you do not wish to live any where
else.
| Because it holds out every induce
ment to the homeseeker that can be
met with elsewhere, and then some.
Because it is an ideal section for
dairying.
| Because it is comparatively new
land, where opportunity abounds and
the chance to win out is here for any
one with energy to grasp.
Because, here, where soil and water
meet, is the place to make happy
home.

In the Okanogan valley fruits, veg
|etables and forage plants of all kinds
can be grown. Everything of vege-
table nature that enters into consum-
ption natures here to perfection and
yields abundantly. The introduction of
water insures crops every year, no
matter what may be the climatic condi-
tions. 1t is country that should APP

ton in the west. Besides its promise of

concerned that elemental condition has

 Apropos of I,e Wet, the following pen picture of this most willy and re- sourceful of the old Boer leaders, con- tained in a new biography of Premier Botha by Harold Spender, recently published, describes him as he still is to all who come in contact with him:

His body then seemed all muscle-thicksct, pillar-likc in its erectness, four square to all the winds that blow Looking on him, one could understand the fear that he inspired in his own men when he rode on through the night, wrapped in his own thoughts, devising one of those schemes of escape, almost miraculous in their cunning, which perplexed an empire and puzzled planet. He spoke only in Dutch, and ten only in few words. He still regarded all English men with a dour reserve that rarely softened or melted. Only on one or two occasions have I seen his face light up with enthusiasm, and that was always when he recalled one of his own achievements in. evasion.

Gertha,dus Snyman de Bruyn, a far mer of Bloemfontein, testified that OH Aug. Il van der Nerve called on him and told him that De Wet had been made acquainted with the plans for the rising, and that the General had said that if matters were as stated he would be with them heart and soul. Later the accused told the witness that Commander Neser was to organ ize in the Cape; that General Victor of Vryburg would go to Potchefstroonl to organize there, and that General Muller with General Elof would take Pretoria.
 Botha Denounces Agitators.
 That the movement had made some progress was shown by remarks con- cerning it made by the Premier, Gen. eral Louis Botha, in an address the other day at a meeting of the South African party in the Free State, held at Bloemfontein.
 There is no doubt he said, "that efforts are being made to foment g. second rising. The whole story will be, made public ill time and people will then be able tO see for themselves Persons are now going about the coun- try and by secret oaths are swearing in other people to take part in a re- bellion.

In buying home furnishings, a fea- ture of vast importance is what be- sides appearance are you getting for your money. What besides so much wood if it is furniture, so much wool if a rug, or som uch of some other material according to the article? Of course it should be pleasing in appear ance, and if 1t be a chair or couch, itsshould be comfortable and if it is a desk, buffet or suchlike, it should have convenience in the arrangement
 But these points are only a part of what should be considered. Style, size, construction, durability and the general harmonious effect are all due for vety careful thought.

 Michael Patras, 757 Myrtle avenue says:
 "If more people knew how good your Wilderb medicine was there would be fewer pimply people in Bridgeport. I had bunch of them on my face and neck and besides my stomach was bad, gas bothered me every time I ate. I have been con- tinually reading in the paper about the success of the Wilderb treatment in such cases, but was skeptical and only lately decided to try it. One bottle did the work. My stomach is fine and feel stronger all over. There isn't single pimple on my face or neck. It is the greatest blood medi- cine I've ever tried.'
 T. s.
