on securing most of the years supply
during the time the river was open,
thus saving the fierce cost of freight
ing in goods from the railroad by
teams, so during navigation in June
boats carried large cargoes to the
head of navigation. 1t was felt that the
country would be dependent upon the
river route as means OF transporta-
ton, and efforts were constantly being
made to have the stream improved by
government assistance, and the dream
was to open up the river so that boats
could run to Osoyoos lake most OF the
year. From time to time considerable
public money was spent in efforts to
improve the lower stretches of the
Okanogan, and surveys were made by
engineers at different times. 1t was
not realized that when once paralleled
by a railroad, freighting and travel by
boat would end forever. The engineer,
In this report, recommended the i'm
provement, and put the cost at so
small a sum the wonder is that con-
gress did not vote the appropriation
and blow 1t into the proposed Okla
hogan improvement. According to the
figures of Harry Taylor. capital nof the
corps Of engineers. "the estimated
cost of Improvement Of the Okanogan
river, so as to permit navigation from
the Columbia river to the international
boundary line at all times fthe year
except during extreme low water was
only $3O,OO0"

A NEW LINE OF BUSINESS.

w. j. Frank & Son are going exteh-
sively into the automobile supply bus
mess in Oroville. They are not to open
a garage, or take the agency of any
automobile, but will confine their ac-
tivities to the exclusive handling of
automobile accessories, gasoline and
oils. They will own and conduct the
only establishment of the kind to be
found In North Central Washington,
and the stock will bs as large and
comprehensive as any carried In the
large cities. 1t Is their intention to
carry tires, parts and extras for sv-
cry make Of car in general use. In the
future car owners will no longer ex-
perience long delays sending to a dis
tance for parts in case of breakage.
These can be secured directly at
home from the Franks. While in Spo-
kane last week the Messrs. Frank
placed their orders for their stock,
and the shipments will be here early
in March, the firm expecting to open
up for business, opposite the post Of
fee for the present, on the 5th of
March. They purchased gasoline in
car load lots and start out with over
$500 worth of assorted tires to fit
any car, and a supply OF fixtures with
out end. Not only will they be prepar-
ed to fill all local orders, but can and
will supply garages throughout this
upper country, and at prices to meet
those of city dealers. This establish
ment will be great convenience to
the public. and an important addition
to the business houses Of the town.
Orders by telephone and telegraph
will receive immediate attention. The
idea of general auto supply house is
an excellent one. 1t fills long felt
want, and the firm will rapidly build
up large business. AS soon as work
can start In the spring the Franks
will put up arick. or con-
crete building In central location,
in which to carry on the business.

a rush at the present time Financial

a much larger proportion of people

PROSPERITY DANCE.

The local band has out posters an
nouncing prosperity dance" for
this Friday evening. This is not ex-
actly Washington's birthday dance,
but follows so closely on the heels of
the 22nd that 1t might come under that
head. However, 1t Is going to be a
mighty popular affair, coming in
counterdistinction to the hard times"
dance that the fremen pulled off d
short time ago. The receipts are to
apply to the benefit of the band, and
as an organization entitled to the lib
eral support of the public the band
holds place that no other local Or
ganization can usurp. The Oroville
band has always been classed among
the best that Is to be found in any of
the smaller towns of the state, and it
will make a favorable showing COM
peting with some of the bands of the
very largest cities. 1t is not going to
The material is in the ranks out of
which crack performers are made.
Moreover, the boys are taking fresh
interest in the organization, having
secured the services of an instructor
who comes here with reputation of
thoroughness in music, and an ability
to impart that knowledge to others.
From every indication 1917 is to find
Oroville with better band than ever,
and that is bold promise for this pa
per to make, considering the record
made by the band in the past. Let ev-
|ery indulger in the nimble pastime
turn out tonight, and those who may
have scruples against terpsichorean
frivolities invest in ticket just to
help out a deserving cause.

large scalel cannot be classed as a
speculation. 1t is sand bag cinch. At
$1.00 bushel wheat growing in this
country is profitable industry and
considering the present worlds wheat
supply, the reduction of the worlds

the consumer will be in mighty good
luck if wheat is even in the neighbor-
hood of $1.00 at this time next year.

A TOUCH OF WINTER.

People were rudely shocked Mon
day when the heaviest snow storm of
the entire winter broke loose, accom-
panied by decided drop in the tenn
perature, and one of those searching
north winds that makes life SO un-
comfortable at times in this country.
Snow fell to the depth Of some four
inches, and the rollicking zephyrs
piled high drifts all through the val
ley. The change was unexpected, for
since the first of the month the
weather has been very mild, and an
idea generally prevailed that spring
was near at hand. AS striking CO.
incident it can be stated taht in look
ing over the old files of the Loomis
Prospector, 1t is noted that February,
and the winter, nineteen years ago
was very much similar to he present
