days visiting with friends. 1t was the
first time in fifteen years thai the
lsenharts have been in Oroville, and it
Is hardly necessary to add that they
were surprised at the many changes
that have taken place here within that
period. Mr.. Isenhart lived In the old
village Of Oro at one time and was
connected with the Washington Com
mercial company, a mercantile corpo-
ration that in the heyday of its exist
ence had branches in Orc, Loomis,
Riverside and COnconully At that
time the store was located in the far
south end of the present town. where
stone cellar is the last remnan. of
that once flourishing establishment. 1t
was a nucleus around which several
buildings were scattered. Once upon
time, some fifteen years ago, fire
swept the store out of existence, en-
failing a heavy loss upon the company,
and Mr.. lsenhart, who lived above the
store, was sore sufferer. From Gro
Mr.. Isenhart went to COncOnully, from
there to Chelan, and q few years ago
located in Wenatchee, where he is at
the head of large furniture store.
The few old timers living here wnen
the Isenharts were portion OF the
population were delighted to meet
them again. 1t is hoped that they will
not wait another fifteen years before
visiting Oroville again, or there will
be lot of us ancients who will not
be on earth to greet them.

A GREAT WORK,

| Travelling up and down the valleys
of the Similkameen and Okanogan
within the lines of the West Okanogan
valley Irrigation system, one is struck
with the magnitude and excellency OF
the work that has been performed. Not
only Is that impression created by the
stability and thoroughness of construc-
ton itself, the surmounting of topo-
graphical difficulties, especially where
the flume Is carried for long distances
along the face of perpendicular cliffs,
but to that more important feature,
the engineering feat that carried the
ramifcation of bitches and fumes so
many miles, over so many inequalities
of surface, and yet with such perfect
alignment and such exact calculation
as to elevation that the water flows
with Just such a regulated current as
Is required throughout the entire
length of the system. To the uninitiat-
ed this is the marvellous aspect of this
big irrigation system. OF course 1t re-
quires engineering skill and familiar
ity with elevations to direct the husky
crews that performed the physical la
Dor of digging the bitches and building
the fumes. That, however, Is not what
attracts the particular attention of the
observer. That which astounds him Is
how with instrument and the mystery
OF figures the engineer carried his
lines so accurately around sharp
curves, over hills and draws, around
the face of rocky cliffs where fly can
hardly find foothold, where straight
lines are few and far between and of
only short distances at best for many
miles, and yet when water is at last
turned into the channels thus laid out
there is not variation sufficient to
check the flow of water in the direc-
tiOn intended by those who laid out the
course over which that water was to
flow. 1t is wonderful, and reflects
much credit upon the ability, skill and
efficiency of the corps of engineers
that laid out this irrigation system.

THE MYSTERY UNSOLyED.

The date for holding the examina.
t'ohs OF A. j. Wickersham, Angus Nc
Lean and Lester Armstrong, charged
Dy coroner's jury with direct or in
dlrect responsibility for the death of
henry Hofmeier. was set for FRIDAY
last, but was continued over until Sat
urday at l O'Clock p. IN. At the hour
nxed Prosecuting Attorney Johnson,
deputy Sheriff Ward, the three accus-
Ell men and two or three Canadian Of
hcials were present. Judge Parsons
was prepared to conduct the proceed
lhgs. AS the crime was committed in
British Columbia, if crime was COM
mitted at all, the prosecuting attorney
and sheriff had no Jurisdiction in the
case, and offered to turn the prisoners
over to the British Columbia officials.
ana they could have charge of the ex-
animation. These officers, who claim
to have made thorough investigation
ala not feel that sufficient evidence
could be secured to convict any one of
the crime. and declined to carry on an
examination or go further into the
matter at that time Under the circum-
stances, all that the judge could do
was to dismiss the case and discharge
the prisoners.
Prosecutor Johnson stated that at
no time did the county officers feel.
considering the nature of the evidence
that the case could be taken up and
prosecuted in this county as the alleg-
ed crime was committed outside of the
jurisdiction of the county and state.
In the face of the findings of the cor
oner's jury the local officers could do
nothing more nor less than hold the
accused for the action of the Canadian
officers. When the case was referred
to those officers the responsibility of
the county officers ended.

The weather during the celebration
was a good omen. The meteorological
conditions on those occasions would
indicate that Providence approves OF
the irrigation system. Tuesday, Wed-
nesday and Thursday of last week
were the first three consecutive pleas
ant days the valley has experienced in
months. But no sooner had the cele-
bration closed at Tonasket last Thurs
day evening than one OF those heaith-
giving, although unappreciated' Oka-
hogan zephyrs swept down from the
high places, bowling like fun ana ac-
companied by very low temperature
Had the same conditions prevalieo
Wednesday and Thursday last the ceie'
bration would have been a dismal rail-
ure.

GOOD ROADS REPORT.

The county association stands for
better roads in Okanogan county. We
work for efficiency and economy in
road building. We believe that every
section of our county is entitled to
good, passable roads and that these
roads should then be made better
We work with county and state Off
cials in the betterment of the roads of
the county and state. The association
is strongly organized, every road club
having ten or more members is entitl-
ell to trustee. The trustees will meet
sometime before the next county road
levies are made and every association
should be represented through its
trustee. Local associations are paying
in their dues. No pay goes to any Off
Ger but funds are needed for the con-
vention expenses. A united effort will
bring good results.

j. c. Martin is building a residence
on his Lakeview orchard tract, east of
town where he will make his home. Mr..
Martin has lived on Palmer mountain
almost since that eminence was first
discovered, but the winters are too cold
for him after the accumulation of years
and so he decided to come down into
the valley to make a home He has a
fine tract under the ditch and will
make an attractive home of it in a very
few years.
ID. G. Heney of Portland, chief en-
gineer in charge of the irrigation sys-
TEN on behalf of the West Okanogan
Valley Irrigation district, was in town
several days this week inspecting the
system as it nears completion, and see
ing that the contract is carried out in
accordance with plans and specifica-
tions. Mr.. Heney is considered one of
the best authorities on irrigation con-
struction in the west, and aside from
his exalted professional standing is
personally a charmingly affable gen.
tleman to meet.
j. V. Richards of Spokane, practical
and experienced mining engineer, ar
rived here Monday evening and spent
some days investigating and examin-
ing mining properties in this vicinity.
Mr.. Richards is not only thorough and
capable in his profession but young
man who can be depended upon to
give an honest decision in matters of
this kind submitted to his judgment. If
la property he examines, no matter
where located, possesses merit he will
so. report, otherwise, otherwise. We
trust he will find merit in the claims
he has been employed to pass upon, as
a favorable report would be followed
by extensive development.
1t is just possible that Otto Case may
elect to become permanent resident
L of OrOville. He is considering that
step, and should he make favorable
decision this community would be for
tunate Mr.. Case has for years been a
prominent citizen of Seattle, and when
man reaches prominence in city the
size of Seattle, where naturally many
bright men collect, there is something
/ to him far beyond the ordinary in abil-
Iity, resourcefulness and forcefulness
!! Mr.. Case has held high office in King
county, and has been secretary of one
of the largest commercial Organiza-
ions of the west, and is so popular that
he could be elected to almost any Of
flee to which he might aspire. He has
even been very favorably mentioned
as available timber for governor.
Considerable interest is being mani
tested in mining property, or the min
eral conditions of this neighborhood
Judging from the frequent visits from
mining experts and engineers, lately
Several we'll known mining men have
been in Oroville during the past few
weeks, and from here made excursions
| out into the surrounding country tC
| look at mining claims. Some of oul
residents have also recently taken an
interest in mines. c. w. Smith, assayel
and chemist, has been actively engag
ed this spring and most of the winter
looking up various deposits in the sur
rounding country that showed evidence
\ of merit. Out of all this activity We
NAV expect some good results, an(

SIS Suits?

Yes, the House of Born
makes suits to order for SIS
but they are not SIS suits.
They're the kind Of suits the
fifteen dollar" tailors try to
make for $40. Our better value
is due to our greater sales.
But we don't advise a man to
buy any SIS suit. 1t costs as
much to sell a SIS suit as a $25
suit. So the man who pays
SIS receives a greater per-
centage Of his purchase price in
actualclothes quality and service.
At $40 or SIS, M. Born &
Company will tailor a suit ex>
ssctly to your order. with the
finest Of pure wool cloths,
guaranteed Innings and honest
hand workmanship-a suit that
will keep you well dressed long
after two of the ordinary SIS
variety have gone to the rag
man.
Drop in this week and ask
for "Born's Blue Book"
you'll be delighted with the
wooden selection, and amazedat
the values offered.
