BUSY ON THE BIG PROJECT.

! The Penticton Herald has the fol.
lowing Information relative to the
iirrlgation project under way on the
north side OF the international bonn
oary line, within short distance of
Oroville:
| Actual construction under the pro-
Vlncial governments soldier land
scheme has now been launched. Col.
A. e. Griffin, who obtained the con-
tract for the first unit of the big irri-
gatiion ditch, has established two
camps in the south country and is
Iopening a third The northern camp
where the heavy digging will be nee
essary, and where the steam shovel is
10 be located, is near the Mcintyre
ranch. The southern camp is nine
miles south, being just below the
IDrldge on the Okanogan. At this point
shovel men have opened up about two
thousand feet of ditch. The third camp
Is now being set up midway between
1.-THE other two.
Col. Griffin has about forty men en-
Iployed at present, but this force will
ishortly be doubled in order that the
first unit of the ditch may be finished
by the end of the year. About 5000
acres will be covered by the first nine
miles of the ditch and should be ready
Tor allotment sometime this year.
Several other construction contracts
|will shortly be awarded They COM
prise one for the concrete lining of at
least mile and half OF the northern
end of the ditch. Ther there will be
another contract for 72 inch syphon
Is 800 feet in length across the river
near the south camp.
Surveyors are now completing lines
for the laterals from the first ditch
unit, and they will probably be dug
|or flumed this year.
A start will probably also be made
this year on the construction of No.
|one reservoir on Mcintyre creek from
which domestic water for the town
|site, as well as irrigation water will
be obtained.
Mcintyre creek will have three or
four reservoirs, and Inkaneep creek at
least two. The water from Mcintyre
creek will be brought down through
the various reservoirs into No. l res
|ervoir, and from there piped across
the Indian reserve onto the Fairview
flat. The two irrigation systems from
these two creeks will be more of less
independent Of the big ditch out of
|Okanogan river, and will water the
higher levels of the land above the
|ditch. Other land which cannot be
reached from these sly s.sins will even-
electrically pumped.
Surveyors are shortly to begin on
lines for the distribution of the water
lon the three thousand acres covered
by the first unit of the big ditch, which
work must necessarily be done before
the individual plots are surveyed and
the land thrown open for settlement.
Engineer F. H. Latimer, who has
personal charge Of the surveying, ETC.,
has five parties now in the field.
Every indication suggests that the
government is pushing the work to a
as fast as possible, and
when the ditch. units are finished and
the creek systems also are construct
led the big % 600 acre tract will be the
ATTRACTION for hundreds OF soldier and
|civilian settlers.
The estimated cost of the entire de-
|velOpment project south of Penticton
lis placed at two to two and half mill
ion dollars"

Mr.. and Mrs. C. w. Smith have re-
cived word that their son Durward,
who is a member of the 5th Artillery,
of the 1st Division has sailed for home.
The 1st Division was the first Ameri-
can unit to land in France, saw more
| fighting than any other division and
sustained the greatest losses in battle.
1t was made up of regulars.
A note from Mrs. Myrtle Oliver, of
Seattle, formerly very popular resi-
dent of Oroville, states that she was
unable to spend her vacation in Oro-
lville this year, as she was confined in
a hospital during that period recover
ling from quite a serious operation.
Friends will be pleased to learn that
1.-THE lady has entirely recovered.
Mention was made last week of the
shocking accident at Brewster by
which James Accord sustained broken
back. Accord was brought to the Oro-
Vile hospital by DR.. Mckinley. He was
and is paralyzed from the waist down
iSaturday DR.. Lewis operated on the
patient He found three of the vertebra
fractured one slipped and doubled
lover. This had to be pried back in
lplace. The patient was placed in a
cast, but DR.. Lewis has little hopes OF
This recovery.
| Men who have served in the army or
navy should not permit their life insur-
ance to entirely lapse. Every young
man should carry some insurance. The
government Is willing to continue the
war time insurance in any sum that
the insured may elect to take out. II
is a cheap insurance and a perfectly
safe insurance. See Mr.. Holinger and
talk it over. He will give you all the
information you may desire. Lcok into
this matter. 1t will cost you nothing
to investigate.
The Penticton Herald reports tha
Lieut.. Hall, the aviator who made
| flights here during the 4th of July
celebration, failed to reach Calgary or
his cross country flight. In trying to
raise from a small field at small
town where he had made a landing fol
gasoline he had to suddenly grasp one
horn of the dilemma. To keep on thu
way he had started he had to run hi
machine into crowd, which mean
death or injury to spectators, or swins
into crowd of automobiles. He chos'
the latter, wrecking the car and ais;
the biplane. Fortunately no one wa
hurt, but the plane was rendered use
less and Lieut.. Hall returned to Van
Icouver by train.

Among the marriage licenses issued
lat the court house at Okanogan dur
| ing the past week was one to Claude
|C. Burge and Christina B. Burge, Of
Oroville.
The Bowen garage Is a large build
ling, with extensive parking space un-
der roof. and yet it is hardly large
enough to accommodate customers.
Monday morning the garage was 30
icrowded with machines that 1t would
have been difficult to place another
car in the building.
| At the meeting of the board of
Equalization last week, held at Okla
hogan, the assessment Of several Oro-
lville BUSINESS houses was materially
Increased. Oroville was not alone hit.
A number of other mercantile stocks
| in the county suffered material in
lcrease in assessment.
There will have to be a halt in the
Increased price or people will have to
Iquit eating bakers bread. Another ad-
ivance of cent loaf was made this
week, and there seems a shrinkage in
the size of the loaf. There seems abso-
lutely no excuse for this steady ad-
vance in tie price of the taft OF life.
Wednesday morning AL Fox COM
menced the rehabilitation of the Lyric
theater building. Manager Stoltz in
tends to make extensive and important
improvements in that popular show
house, and when those changes are
completed it will be one of the neatest
movie picture theaters in the county.
| Mrs. C. e. Martin, who was called to
the bedside of her son-in-law, 8. G.
Hicks, at Princeton, at the time of the
lauto accident in which he SO narrowly
escaped with his life returned home
Monday evening. She brings word that
Mr.. Hicks is slowly recovering, and
that his physicians consider his escape
from death as bordering on the mirac-
ulous.
! Rev. G. H. Severance was a visitor
at Seattle over last Sunday. He left
his car at Wenatchee and on his re-
turn drove back to Oroville, taking in
the Methow valley on the return trip.
He reports the roads from Wenatchee
to Okanogan as in deplorable condi-
ton, and there is not such a marked
Improvement from the county seat to
Oroville.
Work at the power plant dam above
the falls of the Similkameen is pro-
lgressing most satisfactorily under the
direction of Engineer Broderick. 1t IA
a big contract and like all big con-
tracts progress is naturally slow, as
the dam is built with an aim to per-
manency. Quite gang Of men are at
work and more are needed to push
construction.
Vic Champneys, of Seattle, erst-
while we'll known stockman Of the
ISimilkameen valley, came in Wednes-
Iday evening on a business visit. Mr..
'Champneys was in Oroville a few
weeks ago, but he struck the burg
during an extreme hot spell, and he
turned around and flew back TO the
coast. He did not find 1t frosty when
he landed here Wednesday.
1t will be remembered that a young
son of Marion Warren, living near
Nelson was treated at the local hos
lpital a short time ago for terrible in
ljuries received in the face from the
kick of horse. One eye was so SER
liously hurt that the boy has lost the
sight in that eye. He was taken to
Wenatchee to consult a specialist but
inothing could be done for him.

scientist, to raise and educate "A col

he. asks could hope to compete with
the newly-made citizens, in acrOba-
tics and other feats that require
strength and muscular agility?
~, Laugh on AesOBats.
Before everybody starts laughing
at such an idea, Foster wants to call
their attention to the case Of the big
ape that has puzzled scientists all
over the country because of his
wonderful feats and the intelligence
he shows in his stage numbers"
~ ''If the professor succeeds in his at
tempt to make useful creatures out
81 the apes, the dumb acts in vaude-
vile had better look to their laurels."
said Foster. AN act of acrobatic
dancing and jumping would look
Small beside the antics Of half
dozen intelligent apes who could
swing each other by the tail and
leap high through rings and hoops"
1sB will be many years, Foster
thinks, before the apes will he far

gitimate stage, even though they do
not have speaking parts. He says
II will require long training to con-
vince an ape he ought to do just such
and so while he is before the public.
Predicts New Dances.
The comedian looks for the apes
that even the widest, dance-dreameTs
never thought about. Jungle jazz, he
IS sure, will be the popular toe-trip-
ping craze in the next decade.
Fosters views are shared in no re-
spect whatsoever by Ruth Barbour,
soubrette OF the Hurtig show. She
thinks apes viii be able to till the
6eids, work in the mills and do SER
want duty, but she isn't ready to
prophesy they will back vaudeville
stars of the boards. She does think.
however, that they will make good
singers. If they ever learn the human
tongue.
Foster points TO the Wahooa call of
ness of his views: Miss Barbour de-
lcfares she has yet to come across a
dancing couple emitting such shrieks.
