Steve Knochey has cut his grain ON
Ellemeham and the yield is going to
be considerably better than last year.
1t is to be hoped that when harvest is
finally on the farmers will enjoy the
same surprise by finding that the
grain yield is going to surpass their
expectations. 1t is certainly an indica-
ton that this is one of the best grain
'sections in the state. or at least that

travel between Oroville and Penticton.
custom Officer Grubbe is kept pretty
busy checking travellers in and out as
they go over into or come back from
British Columbia. When this county
lonce has a highway that invites travel
through the heart of the valley this
tourist travel is going to greatly in
crease, for there is not a more attract
i've auto excursion anywhere than
through the Okanogan valley and on
up into British Columbia. There is a
great variety of SCENERY, anr roads
that invite one to push car to the
speed limit.
The town authorities give notice by
publication that any one who through
carelessness, or Intentionally, neglect
to pay their water rent on or. before
the 10th of each month will have the
water supply cut off, and it will cost
the user money whenever that meas
ure is carried into effect. We know by
experience it is easy to forget the date
when water rates should be paid, but
if one is cut out occasionally the ex-
perience will have tendency to jog
the memory. The officials have no de-
sire to work hardship on any con-
sumner, but water rates must be paid
in order to keep the plant going, and
they who fail to pay will find them
selves short of an indispensable house
