tiers very seldom hang on to enjoy
the fruits of their labors. Pioneers
blaze the way, and those who come
afterwards are the ones that reap the
benefits. Farming is always going to
pay in the Nelson country, as it is one
of the most productive sections Of the
state. Those who buy land on the hill
now are making good investment.
for the land is bound to grow in value
from year to year.
1t can hardly be said that March
came in like lamb as the mercury
registered very near zero at o'clock
in the morning Let us hope that the
inauspicious opening means a mild
ending of the month.
The Bowen Auto Co., tells you about
the Ford through the Gazette this
week. But the Ford needs little telling
about, for everybody knows what it
will do. The main point is to know
where you can get Ford when want
ed, and Messrs. Bowen handles that
brand Of car.

county, will be in Oroville Saturday

this valley.

A revival has just closed at Nelson
after Is days, during which there were
26 conversions, and what is more as
cures were accomplished through
the fundamentally of prayer. The
services were conducted by a minister
from Hillyard, who promises to visit
Oroville in the spring and inaugurate
a revival.
Ferris Ford, of Loomis, who had a
narrow squeak Of it going to the mat
with old typhoid, is able to sit up, and
his temperature has been normal for
a week. When enjoying the best of
health the lad had very little flesh to

AS will be remembered d. Maske,
one of our corps of immigration Off
GERS, was one Of the lucky number
holders in the Colville reservation
land drawing last summer. After Sc
curing his number Mr. Maske made a
trip to the reservation and picked out
what appears to be a choice piece of
land. Nor did he take that land on
speculation. 1t is his intention to i'm
prove it and the improving process is
to start as early in the spring as
work is practicable. The Maskes ex-
pect to leave for their landed pos
sessions during the latter part of
March, as from present appearances
that Is about as early in the season
as work can be done.
A subscriber points out that the
present freight rate in car load lots
for potatoes and onions, is 10 cents
per 100 pounds. For a mixed car Of
vegetables the rate is 40 cents per 100
which the subscriber declares to be
prohibitive. If mixed cars of vegeta-
bles could be carried at the same rate
as potatoes or onions this section
could furnish large supply to the
larger markets of the state. If the
railroads. could see q way to provide
the lower rae fol- mixed vegetables
the concession would be a great in
centive to the growing of garden
truck for the market in this valley,
which would be help both to the far
mer and the transportation company
Ed. Trodden, of Chesaw, was
brought to the Oroville General hos
pital the latter part of last week,
threatened with blood poisoning. The
Chesaw News, speaking of the case
says: "Mr. Trodden went to Republic
Friday and played with the Chesaw
boys in the basket ball game with Re-
public that night. He danced a little
after the game, but became suddenly
i'll. Before leaving for Republic, Ed
fell and cut little cash under one of
his knee caps. but the injury was con-
sidered of minor Importance at the
time, although it proved the nucleus
of serious trouble after he becme
heated up during the game" Young
Trodden is now improving steadily,
and will soon be nhis normal health.
