DESTROYS Of extending The project to its
fun capacity Of $4,000 acres of irriga-
BILE land and the directors Of the as

emit Director Davis replied that the
reclamation service had no funds with
which to build new structures and adj

President Francis G, Tracy has lately
returned from q convention of water
users at salt Lake City at which the
plan by which Washington state guar
antees the interest on irrigation bonds
was discussed. and some such plan is
hoped TO be put in operation to finance
the building of the third reservoir for
the Carlsbad project.
There are. two large bodies of land
which can be irrigated, one lying I'M
der high line canal west and south
of carlsbad or which can also be
reached by pumping station at the
siphon, and a large body south of
Black river Both bodies of land con-
tain much state land, and the state en-
gineer and the state land office have
been asked to help in the work Of
bringing this additional land under
water. Measurements show that there
is an annual excess Of from thirty to
nine hundred thousand acre feet each
year, which cannot be used in present

WHERE THEY MINE RIGHT.

| F. w. Bewley, of Spokane, was mar
oOned here for several days by the
wash out ON the railroad caused by
the breaking of the irrigation flume
while on his way to Princeton, B. G.
Mr.. Bewley is master mechanic and
concrete foreman in charge of the
work in progress on construction of
the monster flotation plant that is be-
ing put in by the Canadian Copper
corporation, some four miles west of
Princeton, where the company has
one of the largest copper mines in the
west. The Canadian Copper corpora
tion spent months prospecting the
ground with diamond drills, and when
the underground mineral zones were
all mapped out from the data secured
through the means of the drills it was
found that the DEPOSITS are the richest
and most extensive on the coast. The
company has and still is expending
millions preparing for a campaign of
intensive and extensive mining and
production and the output of the fu-
ture Is going to represent enormous
profits for the operators. Mr.. Bewley
has been with the company for some
time, and expects to continue on the
job for long time to come. We felt
a particularly kindly interest in Mr..
Bewley. as he called at this office and
announced that he remembered us
when we started the old Spokane Falls
Review, when he was quite a young
boy. and he is now a man crowding
fifty years. Naturally we did not rec
ognize him.

TO REMODEL THE LYRIC.

George StoltZ, owner Of the Lyric
theater, is contemplating a sweeping
change In the exterior and interior of
hi&Spopular show house, and when
those improvements are completed he
will have as attractive, comfortable
and convenient moving picture
emporium as can be found any
where In any of the small towns of
the country. The building will be ex-
tended "a feet plastered on the inside
and the outside veheered with brick.
The room is to have a sloping floor
with comfortable opera chairs. The
projecting machine room will be safe
guarded against fire by the most I'm
proved methods known, so that the
menace from that danger will be re-
duced to a minimum. The building is
to be furnace heated. Proposed
changes in the structure are to be
made at once and the building in its
metamorphosed arrangement and ap-
pearance will be an important addi-
ton to that part of town. The Lyric
has always enjoyed a generous pat
ronage,. both ON account of the excel
lency of productions supplied by the
management and because of the popu-
larity Of Mr.. Stoltz, who is one of our
pioneer residents He has aimed to
treat the public right on all occasions
and his reward is in the continued full
houses to be seen at almost every pro-
duction that he puts upon the screen.
One Of the sources of entertainment
during the celebration that is going to
be largely attended is the dances to
be given in the Liberty theater Friday
and Saturday evenings after the show.
With an elegant hard wood floor and
the best music that can be secured
the lover Of the dance will be in his
and her element.

MADE A MAN OF HIN.

Billy La Rose, of Tonasket, who
years ago, when quite kid made his
home for a time in Oroville. was in
town Tuesday. Billy is no longer q
kid. He has proved himself a mans
man. The big war brought out the
best there is In Billy. and there was
far more pluck. and punch, and nerve
gave him credit for possessing. Like
many another young man who was
plodding along in the monotonous
path OF civil life when Kaiser Bill
turned the world upside down, Billy
La Rose was hero in the making.
That is, he only needed the opportun-
ity. He was in Canada when war was
declared and at once offered his SER
vices. He was among the first Canad-
| ian contingents to cross, and every
body knows what the first Canadian
troops caught at the frOnt-plain, un-
adulterated hell. For four years Billy
faced the Huns when he was not in
hospital getting over things that the
Huns did to him, but he never lost his
pep, he never lost his good nature,
/ he never lost his fighting qualities,
and when he was out and in the scrap
again he paid the Hun back with in
terest Many thrilling situations did
lhe pass through many narrow escapes
he had, but he lived to return to his
western home, harder and healthier
than when he went in. Moreover, he
did not return alone, but brought back
charming young bride to share his
fortune, good or bad, that the future
might have in store for him. And may
all that future be good for them is
the wish of the Gazette.

both food and raiment, and there Ia
no promise Of an early decline in
prices. When the manufacturer ad-
vances the price of an article the re-
taller must follow suit and advance
the cost to the consumer, or otherwise
the dealer would speedily 20 out of

STRING OF SHOW HOUSES.

This office has been aware for some
time that C. P. Scates, who has sue
cessfully managed the Paramount pic
ture house at Okanogan the past year
or two, was formulating plan to Sc
cure control of string of moving pic
ture houses in the county under one
general management, and he the gen.
eral, but by request the Gazette has
been silent upon this subject. That
news is no longer censored as tho
Nelson Leader spilled the beans In It's
last issue and it is not felt that silence
is longer an obligation.
! Mr.. Scates, who was newspaper
publisher prior to finding something
in which there was a better reward
with less worry, took charge of the
| moving picture house at Okanogan at
a time when that establishment was
| considerably run down at the heel.
and from bright editor he developed
into very capable manager with the
result that the moving picture business
in his hands turned out to be profit
able investment.
service could be secured If q larger
territory could be covered under the
direction Of single individual. that
the pictures could be obtained at q
less cost to the Snowman with q cor
responding better return to the opera
tor. The first thing to be accomplished
in a venture of the kind is to secure
the proper connections in large city
with picture house of established
reputation, thus insuring a certain
supply Of the best that film corpora
tions turn out. Mr.. Scates went to Spo-
kane and had no difficulty whatsoever
securing the business and financial
backing that the enterprise he had In
contemplation required. The manager
of the Liberty theater in Spokane. one
of the largest and best known houses
devoted to the movies in that city,
at once saw the advantage of the pro-
position presented by Mr.. Scates, and
gave him all the aid and encourage
ment he required.
Returning to Okanogan, Mr.. scates
started in to cary out his plan Of OBJ
tanning control or string OF thoaters
in Okanogan. county, and so far has
met with eminent success. Besides his
own house at Okanogan he has closed
lease for the Liberty theater in Oro-
Vile and the American at Nelson.
and is about to secure houses at To-
nasket, Riverside, Brewster and prob
ably other towns in the valley. This
accumulation of show houses means Q
lot of hard work, but Mr.. Scates has
demonstrated that he is capable of do.
ing lot of hustling. AS he will be in
a position to present high class pro-
ductions he is sure to give satisfac-
tory service, and by doing SO is assur-
ed OF satisfactory returns that will re-
pay him for the labor that this multi
pie of houses is certain to entail.

Care should be taken during the

pecislly the fiendish little fire cracker
that has been responsible in the past
for greater loss of property in this
country than any one other cause of
fires. Everything is so dry after the
