MONEY TO BURN.

The people around Okanogan and
Omak are fairly swimming in prosper
|ity. The country is under the govern
ment irrigation project, and the orch
|ards are yielding the largest crop of
lappies o. - harvested Moreover,
prices are better han the growers
have ever known. Between the sri6
towns upwards of 1900 cars of ap-
piles will be shipped this season, and at
la conservative estimate this means the
receipt and distribution of upwards OF
81, 100000. Considering the small num-
Der of people into whose hands this
money goes it might be said that about
every family on the project is in the
millionaire class, that is, so far as
feeling the delightful sensation of be-
ing on Easy street. We congratulate
our neighbors on the good fortune that
has come to them, for there have been
many lean years waiting for the har-
vest. We are getting the back water of
the same prosperity here, although in
a lesser degree, as there are yet many
young orchards to come into bearing

FRATERNAL CALL.

R. J. McDugall, editor and propri-
etor of the Penticton Herald, was in
town Friday last with the excursion
party made up of the Vancouver board
of trade. While in town Mr.. McDugall
made the Gazette an all too short a
call, but his time was limited, and we
appreciate the courtesy that the gen.
tleman showed by giving us even few
minutes of his time. A bright, pleasant
young gentleman is Mr.. McDougall,
and most successful newspaper man.
He is making the Herald one of the
leading weekly papers of British Co.
lumbia, and much of Pentictons pro-
gress and prosperity is due to The
consistent and loyal backing Of that
publication. Mr.. McDugall has l10d-
erniy equipped office and is doing a
very large business, showing thar his
consistent work for Pentictor, is ap-
preciated by the residents OF that
charming little city.

BACK FROM THE FAR NORTH.

Mr.. and Mrs. Lee French have re-
turned from an extended trip up into
Canada, spying out the country in
search of a location. The Frenchs
have resided in this vicinity for a
number of years, but this summer de-
cided to make change. They were
considering an opening for stock rails
ing and decided to investigate the
north country. They were accompanied
on the trip by Jas. A. Wheeler, who
sold his ranch couple of months ago.
Just which provence of Canada they
reached Mr.. French is not certain, but
they kept going toward the Arctic cir
Gle until they were almost at the
Jumping off place. The country they
inspected looks good to the Frenchs
and they entered into negotiations for
a ranch, which they expect to be able
to secure. Mr.. French says the north
country is ideal for stock raising, but
no good for farming on account of the
long, cold winters. MIR. Wheeler secur-
ed ranch and elected to take chances
on the winters.

SUCCESS DEPENDS ON EFFORT.

Geo. J. Schlief was in town from his
hill ranch this side of Nelson, Satur-
day. Mr.. Schlief is an old resident of
this hill country and one of the most
successful wheat farmers in the cOun-
ty, as he endeavors to farm right.
Like most of the farmers in the county
Mr.. Schlief is short on crop this year
as the yield of his ranch was only
about one-third of a normal crop. Mr..
Schlief is not mourning over the fail
ure, as he does not hesitate to charge
up the failure as much to his neglect
in farming the land as to the unfavor-
able weather. He declares that If far
mers of the Molson country were will
ing to apply hard work to their system
of farming there would be no failures
of crops, for there is always enough
moisture in the ground in the spring
to insure the growth and ripening OF
wheat if a systematic effort was made
to conserve that moisture. Deep culti-
vation, rolling and insistent harrow
ing even after the wheat comes up IN
the spring he insists will insure a
|crop even despite such a drought as
the country experienced this year.

1T is IN THE SOIL,

Orville Hix has our thanks for a
sample of as fine potatoes as we have
ever seen grown in this or any other
country. The sample consisted of
labout so pounds of Melted Gems, and
imost of the individual spuds weighed
1.-TWO pounds, there or thereabOuts.
They were uniform in size, solid and
lshapely in form, and, oh, mamma how
|toothsome. These potatoes were raised
on Mr.. HiX's ranch, high up on Ellie
(meham mountain, and without water,
NATURALLY or artifically, as this past
season was one of the driest within
the memory of man. Mr.. Hix has n
number of tons of these elegant tubers

liner is well worth sticking to. And
THAT is what the wise rancher owning
land in this neighborhood is going to

STRUCK RICH ORE.

ChaS. Atkins of the Four Metals
Mining company, was in town Monday
land reported that ore in the Alice
claim, upon which the principal work
lis being done, is looking better at al
most every round of shots. The shaft
lis now in ledge that is strong eight
feet wide. There is solid eighteen
inch silver-lead shoot in the ledge
which will run 5000 to the ton. Aside
from this rich shoot the ledge averages
$40 to the ton. At 55 feet in depth this
|ore ran few cents over SIS to the ton
and is improving in value as depth is
ATTAINED. The reduction mill is running
on this ore and a car load or concen-
!trates was shipped to smelter this
week. The rich ore mentioned is being
stacked up on the dump and will be
shipped without milling to smelter.
1T is evident from the showing that Ar
kins and Grant have a real mine in
this property. 1t is located near Night
hawk and only short distance from
the railroad.

CATTLE SHOW.

Owing to its conspicuousness 1t is
the advertisement on another page OF
this issue announcing the First Annual
Western Royal Live Stock Show that
is to be held at the Union Stockyards
Spokane, on November 3, 4, 5, 6 and Z.
1919, but in order to urge the stock
men of this county to make an ex-
|hibit at this important show this paper
takes this means of calling attention
to the big event. Okanogan has long
had the reputation of producing prime
beef. Stockmen are constantly and
consistently improving the breed of
cattle, and at the present time that
class of live stock is superior to the
old time range cattle, although the
plebian strain of blood in the old time
cattle did not prevent their winning a
place among the best that reached the
market. The superiority of the Okla
hogan beef is owing to the succulent
bunch grass upon which those cattle
feed, and that together with care and
climate, combine to produce roasts and
steaks that cannot be surpassed The
cattle industry of this county is an i'm
portant one. representing an invest
ment of many thousands of dollars,
and from that source large amount
of money finds its way into circula-
tion in the county. Our stockmen will
of course, attend this first annual
show in a body for the education that
it will be in the way of pointers to be
obtained, and with them should go
some of the OkanOgan beef specimens
on foot. The prizes are worth contend
ing for as well as the benefits to be
derived from advertising Okanogan
beef.

MOVED TO PUYALLUP.

N. j. Emery, who has filled the posi-
ton of cashier-operator at the Great
Northern depot for the past two years
and half, recently resigned his rail-
iroad job to accept position with W.
II. Paulhamus, the widely known
IPuyallup cannery man. Mr.. Emery
left for Wenatchee Monday morning
and will enter upon his duties at once.
He has been instructed to secure sew
eral car loads of Gull apples in We
natchee and the Okanogan valley to
be used at the cannery for by-producls )
and when that work is completed he
viii go go on to Puyallup to make his
future home. Mrs. Emery and the chill
dren are still in Oroville and will not
join Mr.. Emery until he is able to Sc
cure a residence in his new home.
| With the departure of Mr.. Emery the
railroad company loses a most popular
land efficient employee. and Oroville a
worthy citizen. Since the railroad first
Preached Oroville the people of the town
have been fortunate in the character
lof the men who have been in charge
| of the business of the company at this
point. They have not only been cana
| Bile railroad men but they have been
courteous and most likeable gentle
men. Among the many who have held
positions at this station Mr.. Emery
has stood four square with the best of
them. Thorough in his line of work,
genial, gentleman of intimate jest,
accommodating with those whom he
had business relations, he will be
missed at his accustomed place Regret
lat his departure is somewhat mitigated
by the knowledge that Mr.. Emery's
services will receive much. greater
compensation in his new position, and
the opportunity to legitimately better
ones self is the duty of every man to
himself and to his family Mr. and Mrs.
Emery will leave many friends in Oro-
vile who will wish them the very best
of good fortune in their new home.
