PROMOTION OF A CANNERY.

Last Thursday c. Orser, manager
Keremeos was visitor in Oroville at
the invitation of the Commercial Club
to look over the valley in this immedi-
ate vicinity and pass Judgment upon
the feasibility of cannery at this
point. The conclusion he reached is
one that should arouse the interest and
assistance of every resident OF the
town and valley Mr.. Orser favors the
canning of tomatoes. because, as he
states, the best vegetables of the kind
in the Okanogan and Similkameen val
leys. He is willing to take the MAORI
ty of the shares in $4,000 cannery if
growers will pledge so acres of toma-
toes AS Dooley P. Wheeler voluntarily
offered 20 acres there should be no
difficulty whatsoever in securing the
other 80 acres, or 100 acres If neces-
sary. 1t is a project that the CONNER
cial Club, and all others in town and
the surrounding country, should get
behind and push until the object is an
accomplished fact. Mr.. Orser is no
novice in the canning business. Be-
sides the cannery at keremeos
which, by-the-way, is one of the most
complete and up-to-date small plants
in the west, Mr.. Orser is interested in
canneries in the east and middle west.
He is just the right kind of man to
have charge of such an institution,
and as he is willing to chance his own
money in the proposition there is no
reason to doubt but that the invest
ment would prove to be a profitable
one to all concerned.

CONFLICTING STATEMENTS.

In the issue of last week we had &C.
casiOn to refer to the attitude of Rev.
Huff, of Nelson, upon food conserva-
ton in language hardly compliment
tary If the report was true. The crit
icism was based upon statement that
reached this office through what was
considered reliable source. After the
paper was issued Rev. Huff telephoned
the Gazette from Nelson, making a
strenuous and emphatic denial of the
report. Rev. Huff was laboring under
considerable excitement, and insisted
that the Gazette repeat the language
that he used in denying the allegation,
and while that language is not pretty
1t is certainly expressive. Mr.. Huff
said: "Say for me that your informant
is a damned liar" and adding make it
a double damned liar" He further
stated that he is intensely loyal to the
country, that he had applied for Il
chaplaincy in the army, that he was
lending his aid to both the Red Cross
and the food conservation campaign,
and that the American flag was on his
church and would never be pulled
down.
Besides this denial on the part of

Jack Mclaughlin has again demon"
strated this year that he knows how
to grow corn, as he has large guam
tity of that grain raised near the
boundary line that will compare favor
ably with the best corn raised in the
United States. The success that has
rewarded Mr.. McLaughlin's efforts
goes to prove that corn can be made
a staple crop for this valley, and in
years to come it is safe to say that
many acres will be devoted to growing
that importnt grain.

Rev. Huff, we have, since the publica-
ton of the article he complains of
been informed that he recently deliv-
cred an intenselw patriotic sermon.
Naturally we felt that the reverned
gentleman had been done a great and
grave injustice and while regretting
our precipitancy in accepting the re-
port reflecting upon his loyalty, ex-
perienced much pleasure in learning
that he was true to the flag and coun-
try. We have taken the first oppor-
tunity to give his denial the same
prominence as was given the charge
against him, for We believe that to be
only fair and just.
But
Since talking with Rev. Huff the fol-
lowing affidavits have been received
at this office 1t is hard to reconcile
the two statments, as those making
the affidavits are reliable and worthy
citizens, and are entitled to just as
much consideration as Rev. Huff. The
most charitable view to take of the
case is that Rev. Huff, in his zeal to
defend Laughbaum, the temperance
lecturer, used language that he would
not have resOrted to in calmer mo-
ments. 1t is time when men will not
accept shades of loyalty. A man must

of the Tonasket flourng mill. Mr..
Nickle is now one of the largest own
ers of the mill, and Is devoting much
of his time introducing the Tonasket
flour on the market The mill, for It's
size. is one of the best in eastern
Washington, and is turning out an ex-
ceptionally good brand Of flour, which
is gradually crowding out competing
brands.
While in Seattle on business last
week s. B. Starrett visited the Ameri-
can Lake cantonment, and while there
saw Geo. Jackson. formerly connected
with the First National bank, who Is
suffering from severe cold. Mr.. Star
rett report colds very prevalent among
the men, more especially the soldiers
from the dryer climate of eastern
Washington. These boys are not used
to the damp climate of the coast and
are very susceptible to colds. 1t would
probably have been wiser If some con-
sideration had been taken for the
troops from dry sections of the coast
and they had been put in training in
a climate corresponding so far as pos
sible with that to which they had been
accustomed.
Attorney e. A. Williams informs us
that Judge John TruaX, before whom
the salts case was heard in the super
ior court of this county some motnhs
ago, has just rendered decision in
which s. Rayburn and w. c. Hancock
were awarded $2,901 royalty on salts
extracted from the lake near Oroville
from July 2S, 1916 and March 16, 1871.
Other cases are pending in which the
parties mentioned are principals. This
decision has reference to the salts
taken from the lake on this side of tho
boundary line. 1t is to be hoped tErt
some compromise may be reached be-
tween all concerned and the great in
dustry, that has given employment to
large number Of men, and has done
much to advertise Oroville. may con-
tinue in operation indefinitely.

SONG OF THE SAW.

Possibly there is nothing in Ottunl-
was traffic code which bars the own
ers of portable sawmills from using
the streets as industrial sites. But il
there is not prohibition there should
be. And in the meantime, The Cour-
Ter would welcome an opportunity to
observe the trial of test case based
on some such charge as disturbing the
peace. obstructing traffic or creating
a nuisance.
Bright and early today, the raucous
voice Of a saw. with pop-pop obligato
from a busy gas engine wakened
guests at two hotels and brought re-
minders of frontier days to old resi-
dents Of Ottumwa As site for his
activities. the sawyer had selected the
corner to which strangers come the
moment they leave incoming trains.
Possibly there is no. law to prevent
such reversion to the customs of the
country town. Possibly there is such
a statute and the city authorities are
forgetting to enforce it. Unquestion-
ably they have the power and oppor.
tunity to prevent the nuisance. and the
situation is distinctly up to them.

LEGATION of e series Of articles by Marie
Bonini Brown. an American opera
singer, who only recently returned to
her home after having lived more than
three years IN Berlin.
Arriving in Berlin in the spring OF
1914, this American student found con-
ditions there and all over Europe
about as they had been for many
wears. Berlin was the same city OF
music. art and good cheer that it had
been for so long. Its welcome was
the welcome it always had extended
TO Americans seeking education or en-
tertainment.
But in the weeks that the American
girl occupied in getting acquainted
with her surroundings momentous
events were transpiring behind the
scenes, in that inner circle OF rascally
Diplomacy which centered at Potsdam
and SPREAD its tentacles over much of
Europe and the whole world.
Quietly the preparations were made
which have only come
TO light in recent months to shock the
whole civilized world-and finally,
when the militarist autocracy was rea-

GROUND HOG DAY.

| Billy Woodchuck had been asleep
for long, long time. The world above
was white with snow But no matter
how hard the winter winds might blow,
or how heavily the snow fell. in their
underground chamber Mrs. Wood
chucks family were snug and warm in
their beds.
At last one day late in the winter
Billy heard some one moving about.
He was so drowsy that at first he
! didn't stir. But finally he opened an
eye and saw that it was his mother
who had disturbed him.
What is it, Mother? Has spring

she said. ITS still quite cold. You

And she gave him so many coats to
put on that Billy would not have

couldn't do that anyhow, then. for the
brook was covered with ice.
