bank, with a capital stock of 100000.

plication of Fred J. May, rafting
bright young banker who has been
connected with the bank at Conconully
for a number of years. The incor-
porators are John Woodard, of Loomis,
who will act as president; R. E. Nixson

the county and former county COM
missioner, who is vice president. Mr..
May will fill the position of cashier
Mr.. Woodard is one Of the oldest resi-
dents of Loomis, and is considered one
of the richest men in the county. The
new bank surely has a substantial
backing.
Among the stockholders in this new
bank, besides those mentioned as the
officers, are A. J. Long, George Bailey,

L. w. Barnes returned home Satur-
day evening from Spokane, where he
attended a session of the State Under
takers association. One would natur-
ally suppose that a convention made
up of undertakers would be rather a
melancholy body. On the contrary the
personnel of the association Is made
up of a jolly lot of human beings, ex-
perts in their profession, and while
the discussions embraced gruesome
subjects those who attended the ses-
sion had a most enjoyable time and
learned much to their profit.

AN IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT.

The Standard Oil company's distrip
uting plant at this place is almost In
running order, and within the next ten
days the plant will be dishing out oil
gasoline. ETC., which etc., includes the
y! oducts that the company deals in
t. the town and surrounding country
The Gazette has had little to say in
regard to this important addition tc
the business circles Of the town for
two reasons, there seemed to be no one
IN touch that could hand out any in.
formation, and then, the weather has
been so beastly hot that it was toe
much of an exertion to trot out to the
grounds where he several buildings
have gradually grown into existence
and pump those doing the construct NJ
workwith the chances that the artizans
would know little or nothing about the
business anyway. Now the plant has
reached such stage that one can take
in the surroundings and structures fill
ing the grounds, and meet up with the
local manager, F. w. Taylor, who, on
very slight acquaintance appears to
be live and accommodating business
man ond pleasant gentleman. The To-
eaten Of this new industry, if su III it
may be called, is along the railroad
right-of-way, in the extreme west part
Of town, and the improvements made
represent an initial expenditure of a
considerable sum of money. There Is a
large barn, or garage, long storage
house and an office, covered with cor
rigated iron, and three enormous iron
tanks with a capacity of 1S,500 gal
Ions each, resting on concrete founda-
tions built several feet above the
ground. From these tanks are a rami-
fication of pipes, to be usel as intakes
an discharge pipes. Everything about
the premises is modelled for conven-
ience and expedition in receiving oils
and distribution of the same. The fit
tings and fixtures are modern in every
respect. A sidetrack has been laid to
the doors of the warehouse. The plant,
as hereinbefore stated, is under the
management of F. w. Taylor late of
Tacoma, and the public will find him
the right man for the place. He states
that the tanks are all ready for filling
and the various ingredients of a lu-
bricating and Illuminating nature for
which there is demand are enroute
somewhere in the United States, and
in the natural order Of things will ar
rive in Oroville, but Mr.. Taylor was
not going to chance his reputation for
varacity. at the outset by predicting
just when the shipmseits would-arrive
That depends upon Providence and the
railroads, and both move in wonderous
ways without letting the public in on
intentions or results. Anyhow, the
plant is ready for the business for
which it was installed, and in very
short time Mr.. Taylor will have the
fluid goods to supply Oroville and the
neighboring country in any quantity
desired.

IMPROVING THE SERVICE.

Wednesday morning c. e. Hedgef'
as local manager for the Okanogan
Valley Power company, put force IN
tbe field and began setting new line
of poles between town and the power
nlant at the falls of the Similkameen.
The line in use that runs up over the
hills TO the westward has become so
ontiouated that it will hardly stand
alone. and the new line was made
necessary. This line will be big I'M
movement over the old one in the
oualitv of material used and perman-
encv of construction. The poles VIII
stand 40 feet high, and will extend
along a line somewhat lower down the
hill and nearer the river than the oio
line. When this Improvement Is COM
nleted the company proposes to MAKE
a material change in the pole nnes
through and about the town. The WORK
IN hand and in contemplation calls for
the expenditure of considerable sum-
The company is aiming to give the
public as good service as possible
with the means at its command.

READY FOR SERVICE.

Jess H. Sexson, brother of our old
time townsman, w. B. Sexson, was one
of the lucky boys called by the draft
from Lincoln county. Mr.. Sexson was
one of the lads whose memory Will al
ways be held in high regard from the
fact that he asked no exemptions, ana
passed an almost perfect physical ex-
animation. Naturally he would meet
the requirements of that severe test
as he was athletic instructor at the
Jenkins institute for two years. Mr.
Sexson goes with the second contin-
gent. that mobolizes at American Lake
on the 18th, and he goes willingly ana
cheerfully. Moreover, he will be de-
lighted with his decision when he hnds
his associates in the army as fine a
body of outstanding young Americans
as have ever been collected together IN
the land. May good luck be and apide
with him throughout the service.

FLOURISHING INSTITUTION.

The Oroville General hospital IS
| crowded to its capacity, or has been
so crowded recently, beds even being
set up on the porch. AS the reputation
of this hospital for first class service,
and the knowledge that Oroville has
capable and competent physicians and
surgeons, becomes better known tn
patronage of the institution continues
to grow. And this patronage is NOT
confined to residents of the immedia 4,
vicinity. Patients arrive from Ions
distances, in some instances as far
away as 300 miles, and it can be said
that those whom misfortune has forca,a
70 seek relief at the local hospital have
always gone away more than satisfle'
with their choice. AS the excellency Of
the institution becomes more generally
understood the demand for quarters
will increase, and without a doubt
ways and means must be discovered!
before long to enlarge the establish.
ment. When our people dug up for this
hospital they builded better than th..
knew. 1t is not only an importent ad-
junct to the town but has been in
strumental in spreading the name OF
Oroville over large extent of terri
tory where the name heretofore wa,
not known.

BACK FROM CONFERENCE.

Rev. U. C. Smothers returned home
from North Yakima, Tuesday, where
he attended the Methodist conference.
The session lasted for one week, and
was considered one of the most har-
monious and successful held in the
state for many years. One item of in
terest was the expiration of the term
of three district superintendent and
the appointment of their successors
An offering of $500 was given at one
service for special necessitious eases
among ministers or their families
Most of this sum was given by the
ministers themselves. More than a
thousand people heard Bishop Matt,
hew Simpson Hughes preach Sunday
morning. Rev. Smothers returns tC
Oroville for another year, and extends
cordial invitation to the public tt

the best things of life. Rev. G. W

A SOLDIERY LOOKING LAD.

Only the few who were so fortunate
as to be at the depot Monday morning
saw the fine, shapely, square-shoul-
dered young man clothed in khaki who
boarded the south-bound train, on his
way to American Lake. That young
man was Otto Henning, of Nelson,
who had been home for a few days on
visit and was returning to his COM
mand. Mr.. Henning has been in the
service only short time, entering as
volunteer, and already the change
wrought in him by drill and discipline
has worked transformation. He looks
the self-reliant, muscle-hardened, sup
pie jointed soldier, a credit to the citi-
zen soldiery of the land. He is a men,
ber of the signal corps and is attached
to the aviation department, where he is
going to make good, if one can Judge
from personal appearances. Those are
the kind of boys that makes the blood
of an American jump with pride.

BACK FROM THE EAST.

WI Jas. Ellis, the well-nown prospector
Nd and miner. returned tbe ,attor nart %
iuS last week from an extended trip east.
during which he visited Omaha, Day
op. ton, Ohio; Chicago and other cities.
hOf Mr.. Ellis was called east by the an
wa nouncement of the death of relative.
toh he was one OF the heirs to property
left by the deceased, and settled the
Rd estate during his absence. Mr.. Ellis
Md found the spirit of patriotism burning
ted brightly on the other side of the conti-
Col nent, and general response to the
call to arms. So many young men have
bo entered the army and navy that he
g. found women doing the work formerly
M performed by men. Women were to be
a. seen in the harvest fields and perform
ing other manuel work. Mr.. Ellis at
\ one time was locomotive engineer.
lod He visited his old .haunts and found
to women working in the round houses
the cleaning the engines. The foreman
eve told him they were the best men that
he had ever employed, for they did
Orc their work faithfully and thoroughly
thrt without a crouch. He reports crops in
bee the portions of Nebraska Iowa and
Spo Minnesota that he visited in excellent
ing condition, with heavy yield. Mr.. Ellis
II was also much pleased with the inter-
lacl est men of means manifested in wes-
MOI tern mining operations, and feels con-
ear; fident that much eastern money will be
nee forthcoming to develop prospects in
by this county. He owns most promising
proposition in the way of group of
~ mining claims on the Similkameen, a
'nis short distance west of Oroville, upon
wei. which he has done considerable work
lnei and will at once proceed to do more.
abst M E,Iis b.s tho RIGHT idea He feels
u that such metals as silver, copper and
J.lead will continue to command high
Of tprice for number of years to come,
ion and believes that every prospect in
,incsthis vicinity that shows any merit
hat should be opened up at once. He is go
ing to do his share towards making a
producing mine, and others owning
iclaims should follow his example Now
lis the time to prove the real merit OF
j Iclaims in this county. If the mineral is
where. as many of us sincerely believe,
vtbe conditions are most favorable for
making thorough investigation, for
even low grade property can be
made to pay with the present ruling
price of metals.

i dozen years Mrs. Luella Il. Ander.
son departed this week with her chill
dren and household goods with the
intention of making her future home
at Enumclaw, this state, which place
is situated on the west side OF the
mountains. Mrs. Anderson's husband
installed the local telephone system
nearly nine years ago, and was Lilled
by coming in contact with live wire
while doing repair work for the power
company. After her husbands death
Mrs. Anderson took personal charge
of the telephone line and operated it
until she sold out to the Pacific Tele-
phone & Telegraph company, about a
year ago. Recently she had an oppor-
tunity to sell her ranch east of town,
taking a tract of land and a good
house near Enumclaw in part pay

KEEPING UP THEIR LICK.

While litigation goes jogging along
in the col1o(s the Stewart-Calvert COM
pany, operating the salts plant, are
not backed off the map, nor lying
down awaiting developments. Salts are
in demand, and the company is in bus
mess to supply that demand. Moreover.
It looks as If said company will be able
to supply the demand, no matter how
great the demand may become. Espec-
ial attention Is now being paid to eX-
tracing salts from the lake on the
north side of the International boun-
dairy line, transporting it to the plant
just west of Oroville, passing the in
gradients through screens, loading the
product on cars and shipping to such
points as have issued s. o. s. calls for
the same Ray Tew recently arrived
from the coast with two large tracks
and has taken a contract for hauling
salts from the British Columbia lake
to the mill, and entered on the work
this week. Transportation and delivery
will continue as late in the winter as
roads are passable. And speaking OF
roads, it may be added that delivery
has been delayed until the road could
be put in passable condition for trucks.
Job the company has been busily en-
gagged at for some time. The nature of
the salts Is such that no treatment is
required. Workmen at the lake simply
shovel up the deposit, load the trucks
and the loads are delivered at the
plant. The salts are so near pure that
they require no refining or treatment
As the salts arrive they are dumped in
to dryer, from the dryer the product
is carried over screens, and the screen
ed material is all ready for shipment
The company will be able to ship from
three to four car loads of salts per
week, and have a sufficient quantity
in sight to continue shipments indefi-
nately. Nature was kind to this country
when it created such an important me-
and its presence is responsible for a
very important industry that is giving
employment to quite force Of men.
and incidentally providing handsome
income to the enterprising firm that
had the initiative to build plant, ex-
tract the material and develop a mar
ket. No doubt other people could have
done the same thing, but other people
never did, and hence the Stewart-Cal-
vert company are the pioneers in this
important industry. The extraction and
marketing of these salts has been
fortunate enterprise for Orovii.e. Gre
ating as It has, pay roll where pay
roll never existed before.

HIS BUSY DAY.

Saturday was DR.. d. II. Lewis busy
day. More misery was crowded into a
few hours at the hospital on that date
than any day since that elegant refuge
for the unfortunate was thrown open
TO the public. A lot of people mad
troubles of a physical character that
could be relieved only by the use OF
the knife and they fell in for treat
ment all about the same time. "hile
DR. Lewis was at it, he performed
seven operations, two of them MAJOR
operations and the following named
patients got the edged steel; Mrs 3.
v Newton. of Coston, b. c., submitted
TO a major operation; the eleven year
old daughter of L. w. Drew OF 10
,uasket was operated on for gangren-
-ous appendicitis; Marshall Jones OF
T .oomis. was operated on for strangu-
lated hernia; Mrs. C. II. Haley, or To-
nasket. passed through major opera
tion: C. L. Jackson suffered from sep
tic tonsils and had to have them re-
moved; Murel Morn, of Looms, "as
onerated on for anoids and enlarged
tonsils: Mrs. C. o. Sterling was oper'
ated on for paracentesis, Whatever
that is. It may be added that each ano
every one of the afflicted stood 'he

slowly but surely recovering from the
effects. The fact of skillful treathien
and almost certain recovery 10 say
nothing of the excellent treatment re-
ceived in the institution, accouhs iol

~ Is rumored that the Horn Silver
hhhe, on Ellemehem mountain, is
soon to be taken over by mining men
ana development renewed after sns-
pesion of operations extending over
several years. In early days the Horn
o"Vef was worked spasmo1ically by
'he owners and some excellent ore
uncovered of a silver-lead character,
we believe Like many another claim
possessing evidence of merit in the
SAME locality development was sus-
PENDED from causes unknown, and
mere the property has remained idle
.or years. Increased value of silver
ana lead has made the Horn Silver
'nore attractive and those who have
recently been in here to examine the
property may decide to carry on ex-
'ehsive exploration.
