GOOD ROAD.

J. P. Douglass, who is constructing
the road up the Similkameen to con-
meet Orcville and Nighthawk, is dong
an excellent piece of wark, and when
completed that will become a popular
drive because of the scenic beauty of
the route and the character OF the
road
Last week Ches. Powell drove over
the road as f.: as it is completed,
With Jas u. Fcrde. John Reed and
s. ]. Stanton. All expressed them
selves as highly pleased with the ma
tare OF the work being done under the
supervision of Nj Douglas.
John Reed, whose home is in the
Sinlahekin valley, was particularly
delighted with the progress of the
wofk' as this road will be of great
benefit to the residents of that val.
ley IN giving them quick and direct
access to this place.
Inc route will cut the distance
us'ween Nighthawk exactly in half.

Ae~ way will be but IA miles. The

As announced last week, Mr.. Doug
'a's expects to complete his contract
ana nave the road open to travel
,nor'ly after the first of June. The
,Oop from Oroville to Nighthawk and
Oa'k Via Loomis is sure to become a
sopular drive for autoists. The trip

self and as he says the viewpoint OF
the doughboy regarding the peace
outlook and settlement. He says in
part:
When the armistice was signed we
thought that our job was finished. 1t
seems that we were mistaken. With
disgust and anger we read in the pa
pers speeches by Germany new lead
ers saying what they will and will
not accept in the line of peace terms.
We have read threats of armed oppo-
sition If the allies attempt to land
Polish troops at Dantzig. We begin
to wonder if after all our job is done
We are anxious to go home but we
cannot be sure that We ought to 60.
We cannot go with the confidence
that our aim has ben realized and that
We shall not be called upon in a short
time to face some other greater dan
ger. Why fool with Germany? If they
Will not accept our conditions and
pay their bills of their own accord,
then force them to pay. If there is
something more for us TO do in order
to subdue the beast completely, let
Us get at it. but to hell with us
hanging around"
This Is the straight talk of the SOL
der. They don't want to quit before
the job is done, but they don't want
to wait over there when they might be
finishing the job If it isn't done yet
Above all, they are sick and tired of
just waiting and how hard they want
to come home is expressed in the fol-
lowing, which Private Brooks sends
from "The Doughboy"
~ WANNA GO HOME"

3 The German propagandist is a con-
stitutional, chronic and incurable
ldinged fool. He is now trying to win
converts by calling President Wilson
harsh names without realizing that
this is the surest way of uniting the
American people against whatever he
wants. While some of us may say
hard things about our president, that
is family privilege, but when an out
slider butts in and begins to throw
stones he ought to know that the
whole family will turn as one man to
bust his head

TO IRRIGATE
BIG AREA
So. Okanosan Project Near
Oroville to Water
$4,000 Acres

Construction. Of the big irrigation
project designed to cover about 22..
900 acres of land In the Okanogan
valley from the International bound
airy line north Is to begin at an early
date. according to the Penticton Her.
aid. Tenders are to be called for at
once and 1t is hoped to start con-
structiOn early In june.
This immense project will bring
into cultivation one OF the finest
bodies Of land in the Northwest
The project is part Of comprehen-
siye government scheme to provide
land for the returned soldiers of
Canada and immediate settlement of
the area is practically assured be-.
cause of the liberal and attractive in
ducements made by the government.
On this side the line the West Okla
hogan Valley Irrigation project car
ries up to the boundary and all the
land between Oroville and the lin ,.
a distance of about four miles Is un-
der ditch and is coming into cultiva-
ton. The B. c. project will extend
the irrigated area from our own pro-
ject north. While the boundary line
intervenes, Oroville is bound to feel
a beneficial effect from the construc-
ton and development, of this project,
regarding which the Penticton Herald
makes the following announcement
1T is the intention of the govern
ment to seek for some means of nut
ting an end to the existing condition
Of affairs prevailing with respect TO
number of irrigation schemes in
the province. stated Hon. T. d. Pat
tullo who arrived In Vancouver on
Monday from the interior where, to-
gether with Mr.. e. A. Cleveland, de-
putty chief engineer from Victoria, he
had been inspecting the tract of land
which the government has acquired
in the Okanogan.
"Mr Pattullo announced that to-
gether with MIR. Cleveland he will
depart Immediately en- thorough
inspection Of the various irrigation
schemes in the interior, . and together
theys,wsll atter1pts sste <xswe sat some
scheme which will result in the COM
pletion OF these various projects and
the implementing Of the premises un-
der which large numbers of settlers
hove acquired land In British Colum-
bia. MIR. Pattullo stated that the
present system whereby there are
constant applications for petty grants
from the province to aid these var
ious projects is most unsatisfactory
and a more comprehensive scheme
will have to be devised.
''The minister stated that following
his inspection Of the $4,000 acres Of
South Okanogan lands which the gov
ernment had purchased, he will i'm
mediately call for tenders for the con-
struction of the first unit of the ir-
rigation project which the government
intends to construct for the reclama-
tion of these lands and making them
tit for soldier settlement. The gov
ernment scheme will call for the re-
moval of 25O0O0 cubic yards OF dirt
for the making of this ditch and he
hopes to hurry on the letting of the
contract so that work can be started
early in June"
