strangers are constantly arriving in
OroViiie looking over the adjacent val
ICY most OF them with the aim of in
'esting and locating. Transfers are
becoming more numerous and the in
Vestments are being made by home
seekers. Prices for orchard lands nm
uer West Okanogan Valley Irrigation
system are so much lower than under
other irrigating systems in the state
that an investment becomes very At
Itractlve. especially when the prospect-
i've purchaser sees what the country
will produce. 1t is the wise man who
secures valley land at the present time
Tor present prices are bound to change

The contractors are surveying out
state Road No. 10 from Tonasket
north to LAUDER gulch and beyond to
the Bottomley place which is the ex-
tent of roadway that the contract calls
for, and actual construction is expect
ed to follow as soon as the course of
the roadway has been definitely set
tied. And it is high time that that road
be improved. Not only because now it
is rough old road to travel, but at a
point on the top of the grade just be-
yond LAUDER gulch the bank has been
caving way for some time until the
roadway has become so narrow that
it is serious danger spot to travel. 1t
will be fortunate indeed if some car
does not go over that grade before the
new repairs are made.
Y. l.. Redhead has contracted with
+. c. Haskell, who recently purchased
la 30 acre bearing apple orchard in the
East Oroville Orchard Tracts from the
company that developed the land for
the picking, sorting, packing, boxing
and delivery of the crop to the rail-
road, and Mr.. Redhead has job that
is going to keep him humping all the
|day and part of the night for some
weeks to come, for there will be sew
|eraI thousand boxes to handle. Mr.
|Redhead commenced picking Monday,
land he says that is the earliest date
flor the picking of Jonathans ever
known since he has been in the bust
mess, and he has been in the business
in one capacity and another for num-
Der of years. The fruit is already in
prime condition.

not only the spirit of the boys but
