This valley never experienced finer
october weather. The days have so far
been bright and warm, indeed too
bright and warm, as rain is sadly
needed. At night, and in the early
mornings and evenings there has been
kick in the air, premonition of
the coming of winter.
J. T. McGinty has the thanks of the
Gazette family for box of delicious
grapes from the celebrated McGinty
orchard, located a short distance
south Of town, an orchard that has
demonstrated what intelligent effort

in the Okanogan valley.

strips in all the windows of the high
school building The strips are made
of a combination of zinc and bronze,

Last week we did Commissioner
Anderson an injustice by stating that
he did not oppose the construction OF
an expensive bridge where bridge is
already in use. We see by the proceed
ings of the last meeting of the COM
missioners that Mr.. Anderson voted
against the appropriation for that
