The value of cannerv IN n oor,
munity in more ways than one is illus
rated by the price received for land
at haremeos, where there is a very
large cannery plant putting I'D toma.
Toes principally. We are informed IN :
a iaho owner at that place receives
between $4,000 and $4,000 per annum
cash rental for 100 acres upon which
is grown tomatoes. Why, one years
rental represents almost the value of
the land.
II. II. Furey, the Tonasket real estate
man, was in town Monday. Indeed but
rev days pass that Mr.. Furey ia not IN
or around Oroville, chasing thesnimble
dollar. Mr.. Furey is real estate seller
by profession and instinct. His activ-
tiles has spread over large territory
and numerous places. His name should
be spelled fury" when it comes to
impetuosity in collaring and freezing
TO prospective buyers, and landing
them, too.
Jeff lrby, the veteran locomotive
engineer, is to retire from active SER
vice, having served the required length
OF time to entitle him to lay off and
draw pension. Mr.. Irby railroaded
most of his life and he is now we'll
along in years. He has stood at the
throttle of an engine for 80 years and
for 10 of those years has run trains
on the Great Northern. He may not be
regulated to the shelf, but the line of
work assigned him will probably keep
him off the road and prevent time
hanging heavily on his hands.
Wednesday last Mrs. o. w. Boyd
met with painful accident in runa-
way near Loomis While coming down
Douglas mountain team of horses
attached to the vehicle in which Mrs.
Boyd was riding ran away and she
was thrown violently to the ground
She received first aid at LOOMS and
Thursday was brought to Oroville,
where DR.. Elmer found the unfortu-
nate lady had sustained broken COL
lar bone besides minor injuries. The
bone was set and Mrs. Boyd made as
as possible under the cir
cumstances.
Crews of men are tearing up the
earth across the line, using steam
shovel in the process. The object OF
this tearing is the construction Of the
ditchs of the first unit of the big irri-
CATION project that is eventually to
cover $4,000 acres of the richest and
fairest land in the northwest, directly
at the door of Oroville Moreover, pre-
liminary work for the construction OF
the railroad from Princeton to Oro-
Vile goes merrily on, and those SO
employed seem confident that the road
will be finished and ready for opera
ton next year.
