The attention of all sportsmen is
called to the telegram appended below
regarding the abrogation of the open
ing of the game season, which or
dinarily would have occurred Satur
day, September 1st. Governor Lister,
by proclamation, has postponed the
opening of the season from September
1st to September 18th. This action
was made absolutely necessary on ac
count of the fire menace, not that hun
ters would set more fires than camp
ers and other people perhaps, but from
the fact that it has been discovered
that alien enemies In the guise of hun
ters, have been busily engaged in set
ting fires both in grain fields and in
forests. Just now, on account of the
exceptionally dry period fires are dew
astating vast areas throughout the
Northwest and drastic measures had
to be taken to check the destruction
Of forests, fields and homes.
Game Commissioner Clay Fruit, re-
quests that the Gazette sive Especial
prominence to this matter and we
will state for the information of all
concerned that the game commission
are preparing to see that the edict is
carried out to the letter and therefore
this paper would advise all huntsmen
to think twice before trying to put one
over on the governor and commits
sion. The following kilograms tell
their own story:

cerning which was talking with you

Vile Steam Laundry, accompanied by
his wife and children and his father,
James Prentice of Okanogan, and
Frank Mcintyre and family constituted
an excursion party that made long
and pleasant trip up into Alberta last
week. The excursionists visited Prin-
ceton, Vernon and a number OF points
beyond and report having had one OF
the most enjoyable trips of the season.
Mr.. Prentice was particularly struck
with the pronounced cordiality OF their
reception by the people of the upper
country and also the evidence ON all
sides of renewed prosperity financially.
Trade. in the upper country, he says,
has been reduced to almost a strictly
cash basis and there seems to be
plenty of money for that purpose. Like
all other travellers to the north, Mr..
Prentice is loud in his praise OF the
Canadian roads, and like all others
can't see why We cannot have such
roads in Okanogan county.

BIG CROP OF BEANS.

The Bank of Oroville is harvesting
crop of the common navy bean of
commerce raised on tract of land a
short distance north of town, on the
west side of Osoyoos lake. This first
experience in bean culture promises
to turn out better than could have
been expected. The vines are loaded
with pods, and the bean appears to be
of choice quality. Quite number of
farmers in the valley have raised
beans this year and if the price con-
tinues attractive and there Is every
reason to believe that it will, the sue
cess that has attended efforts at bean
growing this year will be followed by
much larger acreage next year. The
bean is a staple article OF consumption
and it does not seem possible than an
over supply can be produced. If the
growers demonstrate that this merry
little vegetable can be raised to a
profit under the West Okanogan lrri-
cation system, the growing of beans Is
going to become an important industry
of the valley

Oroville II fire was to break out un-
der these conditions? Do you know
that you are liable to have your in
surance policies cancelled if more dis
cretion Is not exercised in the use of
water?
Do you know that your town is in
the business of selling water just the
same way as any other business firm
or incorporation and do you realize
the fact that you are part of that
corporation?
Do you know that you are supplied
with water here at a much lower rate
than most towns and that the hours of
springling are almost twice as long ?
DO you know that you are given priv
ileges in Oroville in the use of water
that you could not possibly get in
other town and do you know that
many. a great many, OF our citizens
are woefully abusing that privilege ?
Are you one of them? IL you are. stop
1t. From now on during the dry wea-
ther the law is to be enforced without
fear or favor and, strenuous efforts
VIII be made to enforce the law. Any
one found using water ulilawfully will
be arrested and their water turned off
without a moments delay. The city
government does not wish to take this
step. but is compelled to in order to
protect the town against fire. A word
to the wise is sufficient.
