last Friday evening for short visit
Mr. Sexson came across country by
| the way of Mansfield, and reports tn,
roads to be in a fearful condition for
travel. He gives anything but an en-
couraging report of crop conditions
| in the Big Bend. Around Reardon,
and in parts of Lincoln county wheat
| is still in fair condition, yet unless
rain falls within a few days the crop
will be very light. In the portion of
Douglas county through which he
passed the grain is all burned up, far
passed all redemption. Even a deluge
would not help cops in that section.
The experience of this season and
| last season demonstrates that every
farmer in this upper country, should
have a slice of land under the irriga-
| ton system. The West Okanogan
| Valley Irrigation project is one sys-
tenn that can never be short of water,
,, let dry season after dry season follow
| each other. The distribution canal Is
conencted with a river of large vol
ume, fed from a thousand springs

ands of acres. The water supply is
inexhaustible and so long as the
| fumes and bitches hold together there
will be ample water to cover all the
land at present under the system, or
that may be added in the years to
| come.
| M. A. Jacobson's family arrived In
Oroville from Libby, Montana, Satur-
day evening. The new arrivals con-
sisted of Mrs. Jacobson and five chill
dren, quite a healthy addition to the
population that has been considerably
nicked this year by the departure of
many residents to the coast, where
ship building wage was the attraction.
Mr.. Jacobson preceded his family sew
eral weeks. He is an artist in the line
of Photographic work, and comes to
Oroville to locate permanently. He
believes it is good point for his
business, and We believe he has guess
ed right. While Mr. Jacobson IL
handy with the camera Mrs. Jacobson
is very skillful at retouching and
finishing, and between them they will
be able to satisfy the most exacting.
For the first time in months this
locality was moistened with a real
downpour of rain Sunday. For sew
eral hours the flood gates of heaven
were opened, or at least partially
opened, and the parched earth drank
to repletiOn. While making merry
over what they received like Oliver
Twist everybody is asking for more
The population was fairly hilarious
over the visitation, and smiles roasted
where smiles have been strangers for
many day. OF course everybody is
thankful for the breaking of the pro-
tracted drouth. More rain fell, so far
as there is any record, than in any
one day in the past two years. Had it
come three weeks ago it would have
been worth millions to the county.
Even coming this late it will do an
immense amount of good, more espe-
cially on the high lands where grain
was not beyond redemption.

A drive to Omak will be an enjoyable

Miss Delvin, demonstration of can
ming of fruits and vegetables, from
the U. s. Department of Agriculture,
spent two days in town this week
giving demonstrations at the Civic
League building for the benefit of the
ladies of Oroville and vicinity. AS no
general publicity had been given of
the coming of the lady the attend
ance at the meetings was not as large
as it should have been. Those present
were very much interested in Miss
Delvin's work and secured many valu-
able pointers.
Many of our residents remember
Arthur La Velle, stepson of Harry
Barman, who resided in Oroville for
some time The young man has join
ed the marines, and has gone to San
Francisco to go into training. Arthur
is a bright and likeable young man,
and possesses the patriotic spirit that
] animates most young Americans. He
voluntarily offered his services to the
government and selected one of the
most attractive branches of the serv-
ice. May good fortune attend him and
bring him home safely at the end OF
| the war
Bert Iverson. miner who has been
working at a mine in this locality for
some time, has set an example fol-
| liberality that others might take a
| lesson from. He Stepped into the
Bank of Oroville Monday and remark
ed that he wished to contribute to the
Red Cross and left $50. which will be
| turned over to the rocal branch oil
that organization. That is the right
spirit that ought to be catching in
| these times when our boys abroad
need all the aid that can possibly be
/ given through the medium of the Rec
Cross, and which aid the Red Gross
is giving with great cheerfulness.

The rain of Sunday extended all
over this upper country, and probably
over most Of eastern Washington. Re-
turns from neighboring places indi-
cate that the rain was very heavy
around LOOMS, in the velley to the
south and on the hills to east and
west.

Fred Till, one of the most expert
enced and most reliable old time min
ers of the Looms district, came over
to Oroville Monday with J. j. Enright,
whom he has taken care of for several
weeks. Those old prospectors may be
rough and ready in some respects,
but they are rich in the milk of hui
man kindness, and the good Smart
tan has nothing on them when it
comes to helping fellow beings in suf-
fering and distress.
Mrs. Z. n. Grubb returned from Sc
attic Saturday, where she was called
by the serious injury suffered by
Ronald Westad through a practical
joke played upon him by compan-
ion. While young Westad is still alive
and is really showing signs of i'm
provement he was so shockingly mutt
lated by the force or the compressed
air turned upon him by his friend
that should he recover it would be
little short of a miracle.
A discharged Canadian soldier nam
ed F. Bresk, who, by-the-way, is an

Next Thursday will be the Fourth
