ORC ORCHARDISTS ORGANIZE.

At the suggestion of J. L. Dumas, Of
the State Bureau of Markets, the ORCH
ardists of the Oroville district met
last week Saturday evening for their
preliminary meeting to become ac-
quainted with the plans an6 laws Of
cooperative societies.
o. T. Clawson went up on invitation
to address the gathering and explain
the actual workings Of such organiza-
tions in other parts of the state.
About thirty growers signed up for
a permanent organization meeting
this week Saturday evening. Besides
about seventy-five cars Of apples to
be shipped Oroville growers have lots
of melons, tomatoes, vegetables and
hay to be shipped.-Omak Chronicle.

MARVELLOUS CHANGES.

If any one wants an object lesson as
to the transformation worked upon
| the face of nature by the application
)f water to the soil, all that the indi-
vidual has to do is to take few hours
off and drive over to Loomis. The
transformation and object lesson is
to be seen on that stretch of land be-
tween the old Dave Smith place, near
The west end of Whitestone lake, and
distance east of Loomis. A new conner
in the country could hardly be made
to realize the change wrought within
the short period of two years. but the
older residents, familiar with the for
inner appearance of that section, is the
one who can fully appreciate the i'm
mense change. The Chase ditch and
fumes, carrying water out of Toats
Coula creek, and the industry of the
land holders under the system, have
worked the wonder. In old days a
more foreboding, desert like stretch
Of country than that along the county
road from Loomis to the Okanogan
river, could hardly be found in the
state. 1t was unoccupied and unculti-
waited, because without water the land
vas unproductive as the desert OF
Sahara At last water was carried to
this land or limited extent of land,
and what moisture has done for that
land is almost beyond belief. Along the
road, where irrigation has been intro
duced. are continuous alfalfa fields in
a most flourishing condition, the dark
green presenting most pleasing con-
trast to the dry, brown country be-
young the influence of the water.
What water has done for this land un-
der cultivation shows what water will
do for the entire Whitestone Flat when
the plan for watering that large
stretch of barren territory is carried
out, and justifies the land owners in
voting bonds for that object In very
few years after the completion of that
irrigation system Whitestone Flat and
Horse Springs Coulee will be garden
spots, and land that today is worthless
will command high price. The chem
icals are in the soil to insure prodigal
production, water, the chief element
to insure growth, is lacking. and with
the application of water the district
will become a rich and beautiful
oasis. The same results will follow the
completion of an irrigation system
that followed the construction of the
West Okanogan Valley system, ana
better results could not be asked for
nor expected.

NEW ORGANIZATION.

| Z. T. Atkins who Is now IN ch;
caeo' sends in notice that the firm
vi Arkins & Grant, that has been on.
saeed In mining in the vicinity n,
Nlshthawk, has been dissolved and
thelr interests have been transferred
10 Inc -Four Metals Mining company
OF Nighthawk, Messrs Atkins and
Hrant still being interested in the new
organization.
IL is generally known that c. r.
Atkins and r. S. Grant have been car
rying on development work at a min
ing property located few miles west
Oh Nighthawk. and have proceeded so
lar as TO uncover and block out suf-
iicieht ore to justify the erection of a
stamp mill. These gentlemen have
peen working for months, investing
their own means, and are perfectly
satlsiled with the result of their la
Dors. There is no explanation as for
the reason OF the new organization
Dut both Mr.. Atkins and Mr.. Grant
are experienced mining men and they
nave taken the step undoubtedly for
the purpose of more successful OPERA
tons. The officers of the new company
are Charles T. Atkins, president; T.
n. Finnila, vice president; r. s. Grant
secretary and treasurer. Mr. Finnila is
Il resident of Oroville, who has fol-
lowed the mining game for long time
and owns some very promising claims.
Mr.. Atkins writes that the Four Met
ais Mining company is to become a
permanent fixture in your midst and
it is confidently expected to make d
creditable record by and through the
process of mine making"
Considering what Messrs. Atkins
and Grant have accomplished during
the time they have been actively en-
gagged in mining in this neighborhood
we feel that any mining organization
with which they may be connected
will succeed il success is possible.
They have most excellent property
from all outward and visible signs,
and they are not men to be fooled in
this mining game which they have
been playing at profitably, for num-
Der of years. The addition of Mr.. Fin
Mia to the personnel Of the company
strengthens our confidence in the sta
bility of the company, for Mr.. Finnila
is conservative and experienced
prOspectOr and miner. 1t is plainly
evident that the company proposes to
operate on large scale, and opera
tion on large scale is the one thing
that will demonstrate to finish the
extent and value of the mineral de-
nOSitS in this mart of the west
