Mrs A. B. Edmonds, wife of the disbursing officer of the Ketchikan light house, was a returning passen- ger from the Westward on the Ala meda. Mrs Edmonds will remain in town until tomorrow, going south on the Dolphin. She reports Anchorage as thriving community, with a very pretty and well laid out townsite There is only one business street, but that is long and on one side are all the government offices and buildings while on the opposite side are the bus mess houses. Small lawns, green with newly cut grass show that the city has much civic pride. Anchor age has a theatre that seats 500 per sons with large pipe organ that con- pares favorably with the Clemmer in Seattle.-Skagway Alaskan.

HUGE OIL TANK.

force of men are engaged in put
ting in concreate sump "a feet in di-
ameter, and working on the founda-
ton for 10000 gallon tank at a point
along the railroad near the pumping
station in the east part of town. These
vast receptacles, each with a capac-
ity of 10000 gallons. are to be used
for the storage of fuel oil for use in
the locomotives running on the Oro-
ville-Wenatchee branch, and possibly
for the engines running on the main
line at some future time. This provis-
ion for an oil storage system repre-
|sents a large outlay. The excavation
for the sump, which will be in the ma
ture of an underground concrete tank,
is completed, and expert concrete
workers are placing the walls this
week. The concrete foundation for the
10000 gallon metal tank is finished
and the iron frame work upon which
the tank is to rest is on the ground
Iready to be elevated in place. A huge
60-horse power boiler is already in
stalled on a concrete foundation, and
this is to be used for heating the oil
and operating the pump that lifts the
ioil from the sump, filled from tank
cars, into the elevated tank, and from
the tank the oil is fed to the engines.
i all the same as water from a water
tank. There are only two such oil
reservoirs on the branch, one at We
natchee and the other at Oroville.

THE COUNTRY NEEDS YOU IN THE
ARMY OR NAVY.

1t is made the duty of the postmas-
ter at Oroville to act as recruiting Of
hcer for this locality. And this office
requests any young man considering
enlistment, to call on the postmaster
for information and assistance.
shall be glad to do all l can for you,
both with information and transpor-
tation.
R. p. HOSKYN, Postmaster
Attention Is called, in this connec-
tion, to the opportunities of those who
volunteer at this time to secure CON-
missions in the army. Congress has
made provisions for raising an army
OF 100000 or more troops. These will
be raw men requiring training, and
there are few officers available to
take up that important part Of thl
work Of making soldiers. Officers will
be drawn from the ranks of the regu-
lar army and from the national guards
from those who have had some exper-
ience. 1t will require thousands of Of
flcers to handle such force as will be
enrolled, and every ambitious young
man who enlists now will have a
chance for commission. And then,
the men in service will not be liable
for conscription, and the great major
ity Of men would rather enter the SER
vice at their own volition than to be
conscripted. If you want to take the
chance see Postmaster Hoskyn at
once

COMMUNITY LECTURE.

Frank o. Kreager will deliver his
intensely interesting and widely COM
mended lecture on Community Build
ling" at the Orpheum, next Monday
evening, May 7, under the auspices of
the Oroville Commercial club. Mr..
|critics as one of the most entertain
ing speakers on the lecture platform,
land he brings message to every COM
munity of inestimable value, which
should be heard and carefully weigh
led by every resident of the town in
which he appears. Our people should
make it duty to turn out en- masse
Monday evening and hear practical
man tell all about community build
ing, for it is theme upon which
many dilate and few really thoroughly
|undertand. The Moscow Mirror, in
speaking of Mr.. Kreager's appearance
in that city says: "Mr. Kreager inn
Iprseses one as being capable of exact
thought, and unquestionably he is =
fluent and vigorous speaker
The Palouse Republic says: PROT
Kreager's address on Community
building" was interesting and instruc.
tive, and was listened to attentively
The Republic doubts that if the people
of Palouse ever heard an address
which pointed more clearly the neces
sity of cooperative work for the. com.
mon good and gave more practica
ideas of how this work can best be
accomplished"

number of years Mr.. Riste has been in

Mention Is made of A. s. Long eX-

the reservation to seek his fortune,
and was away from home only a short
time. He remained with Loomis and
the cattle business and if he did not
make fortune, he at least accumulate
ed enough of this worlds goods to be
classed among the comfortably rich.
He is still chasing the agile steer
around the valleys and hills about
Loomis.
Announcement was made that quite
a number of people were passing
through Loomis taking the overland
trail for the Klondyke. Travelling the
inside route to that far north country
failed to become popular. and after
the first few attempts to get into Alas
ka along that line it was abandoned
as highway to the Klondyke.

Sinlahekin valley had Just made home

Mr.. Darnell is the only one of the lot
still in Loomis, two of the number
having died since 1898.
Fred Baldwin was finding it difficult
to pick up beef cattle for his butcher
shop. an indication that cattle for the
block were scarce in that locality in
those days. Mr.. Baldwin was only one
of many who tried to make meat

ever known to grow rich out of the
business. Mr.. Baldwin is still a resi-

SUGAR BEET SEED.

Through the kindness of Mr.. Mar
vim Chase, of Loomis, Washington, the
secretary Of the West Okanogan VAL
ley Irrigation District has some sugar
beet seed for free distribution to the
farmers who will plant and give
proper care to the seed.
The growing of sugar beets, where
conditions are favorable, is very profit
able. In years past and at different
times, some tests have been made of
the growing of sugar beets with sat
isfactory results. This year it Is de-
sired to test the growing of the seed
in the valley and also on the highlands
adjoining The seed Is furnished tree
to the growers for the planting of
small tracts, and the grower is asked
to furnish samples in the fall for test
ing for the value of the sugar.
There is sufficient acreage within
the irrigation districts and under the
Whitestone project and in the high
lands near by to make the growing of
sugar beets on a commercial basis
profitable, and 1t Is desired this year
to give the growing of sugar beets a
thorough test.
The seed should be planted as soon
as the ground is warm, and the seed
may be secured at the office Of the
secretary of the West Okanogan Val
ley Irrigation district.

Hong a tifi1e at this central location
where so many cars are owned within
a radius of only few miles, and so
many cars are coming and going every
Iday from all parts of the compass,
creating demand for a supply of
those vitality necessary fixtures. And
when automobile fixtures are wanted,
wanted in Montana, awfully quick. Per-
haps the absence of such a stock was
owing to the fact that automobile ac-
cessories run rapidly into money, and
hence is a business that demands
large ready capital. The county was
without such convenience and nee
essary institution as a supply house
for autos, until w. j. Frank & Son
stepped into the breach at the first
sign of the breaking up of winter and
|supplied the long felt want. The firm
went into the business right. 1t was
not started with a hat full of extras
depending upon hurry-up orders to
Icity centers to replenish depleted
stocks. The firm purchased in whole
sale lots, representing investments Of
thousands of dollars, placing the
house in a position to supply any part
of machine that might get out of Or
der on moments notice, by apply
ing directly to the store, or by tele-
phone or telegraph. That the firm hit
'it proper is manifested by the volume
|pf hnc oil h,,i1 oft
ming only few weeks. Already, with
THE season hardly opened, Messrs.
Frank & Son find the demand for
their line of goods so great that they
will soon have to seek larger quar-
tiers. 1t may be added that If such
Quarters are not to be had they will
proceed to supply the quarters, even
If forced to build.
The firm has just taken new de-
parture in the automobile game. The
exclusive distributing agency for the
county for that celebrated standard
automobile. the Buick, and the we'll
known G. M. C. trucks and Bull trac-
tors has been secured by Messrs.
Frank & Son. There is no better truck
or tractor on the market than those
handled by this house. These Bucks
and trucks and tractors have been
purchased in car lots for immediate
delivery.
Selling cars seems to come natural

Friday last as the train from the
west was bowling along toward Oro-
vile a bull, with more pluck than dis
cretion, took position on the track,
near Allison station, just across the
line, prepared to do battle with the
iron monster that had tresspassed up
on his preserves. Mr.. Bull underesti-
mated his opponent for the engine not
only pushed in his Stats but walked
over his body. And there is where the
bull had the best of it, although he did
not live to realize the trouble he had
created. The mangled carcass Of the
animal rolled under the train knocking
the trucks from the combination car
and thus stalling the train. Fortu-
nately Superintendent Landis' car
was attached to the train. The passen-
gers were loaded into the special car
and conveyed to their various destina-
tions along the route. The passengers
had all the best of the accident, being
able to enjoy the luxury of riding in
an elegant private official coach.
