out by score of 73 as against II. Sexson,
w. B. made a clean score. while Gjerde
and Beverly Powell fell only one behind.
Hedger by some hook or crook fell down

Spokane. Oroville is still listed among the
five high, but will have to do c!ose shoot
ing to hold its place. Sunday was raw
ard windy day and the attendance at the

INSTALLING MAchiN Gay.

The Southern Minnesota and Washing
ton Mining company is installing large
amount of machinery at the mine, a short
distance west of Oroville, where devel-
opment has established beyond fur
ther doubt that real mine exists. The
company was fortunate in being able to
close a deal with the owners Of the old
antimony mine, near Whitestone noun
tain, by which large quantity Of ma
chinery, including an engine, boiler, COM
pressor, power drills, a large quantity OF
Trails and other articles necessary In
carrying on development was secured at
trifling cost. This material has been In
use only a short time and is just as good
as new. w. H. Thayer has the contract
for moving this machinery from the anti
mony mine to the property of the s. M.
and W., company and 1t will be on the
ground ready for installation in few
days. That machinery will be in place and
in working order in a few weeks and by
the first of May the mine will become a
regular shipper to the smelter, and
high class Of ore the mine has to ship.

Monday DR.. Mckinley brought up from
Brewster John Proelss, aged IS years,
suffering from an aggravated case Of
blood poisoning in his left arm. While
pruning trees Mr.. Proelss had barke dthe
skin from the back of two of his fingers.
The injury was of such a slight nature
that he paid little or no attention to the
superficial hurts. The slight scratches be-
came infected and the poison spread rap
idly up the arm. The unfortunate man
was brought to the Oroville hospital and
DR.. Lewis at once decided that the in
lection had gone so far that 1t was i'm
possible to save life even with amputa.
ton, as the poison had reached the shoul.
der Mr. Proelss passed away Wednesday
afternoon, his wife and two of his sons
being at his bedside at the time. The de.
ceased lived on ranch near Brewster.
and is said to have been very worthy
citizen. He leaves a wife, Mrs. Fannie X

WON OUT AFTER MANY DAYS.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. NJ. Storch. of Okanogan,
drove up to Orovlle in car Saturday,
and Mrs. Storch was given an opportunity
to look over large portion of the north
ern part of the valley. For years Mr..
Storch was playing the orchard game to
the full length of the string down on the
government irrigation district He found
it about as expensive game as any game
of chance a man might tackle. Year after
year, while coaXing an orchard on to
bearing stage, Mr. Storch was sinking
money until he was so deeply in debt that
he feared to figure up the amount, hav-
ing too great respect for the limita-
tons of the heart. He would have en-
braced any one as a long lost brother
who would have paid him fifty cents on
the dollar for what he had put into his
orchard, but no one had the nerve 10
make such an offer. Luckily for MIR.
Storch that buyer did not drift in as he
hit the market right last fall. Mr.. Storch
may not be firmly entrenched on the
street called Easy. but he is no longer
menaced by debt and there are no ami
mails of the wolf species scratching
around his back door.

DOING GOOD ROAD WORK.

trip over the county road on the west
side of the Okanogan river dowu about
and at both ends of LAUDER gulch demon
states that that highway is very much in
state of decentralization. The contractors
have the roadway pretty well torn to
pieces as construction progresses, with
none of it completed. Vehicles wind In and
out over the sage brush at various points
to escape the rough roadway, and the man
on the back seat recognizes the presence
of distractions as he bounces around in
the car like a pea In a rattle. But there
is a satisfaction in even looking over the
road in its present inconformity with the
promise Of highway of a smooth and
permanent nature when the work is once
finished. The newly surveyed route will
eliminate some Of the worst grades on the
road, and the new fill across LAUDER gulch
will forever remove that menace to travel.
From every indication it seems safe to
say that that particular stretch Of road
will eventually be the best along State
Road No. 10.

Geo. Whistler is just back from trip
into Montana. While at Great Falls Mr..
Whistler dropped into a convention of the
non -partizan leaguers that happened 10
be held in that city while he was there.
Mr.. Whistler says that majority of
those present had foreigner stamped up
on their faces and many of them locked
like the pictured Russian BolshevilSi, be-
whiskered, strangers to water, bearing
the appearance of nursing a perpetual
crouch. He declared the speeches to have
been without rhyme, reason or logic and
would not appeal to a man who would
give the words used intelligent thought
Now Mr.. Whistler is not bloated cap
italist but an efficient and successful
farmer and horticulturalist, so his views
car not be charged to undue prejudice
against this socialistic organization.

The entire country after enjoy
ing unprecedented prosperity in
fertility Of the land, unlimited
demands for building material,
machinery, automobiles, clothing,
shoes and Injuries, due to only
one thing, which is that Venus
reigns supreme in 1920. but must
now undergo a three-year adjust
ment to bring business to a sat
isfactorv basis.
During the year 1921 Mercury
doubtful planet in many ways
like the thermometer, will regulate
business and prices in all parts
Of the country. Since storchouses
are flIcd with manufactured art.
cles that must BE sold, it stands to
reason prices viii gradually de.
crease. Capital and Labor, will
have many disputes, some are
never satisfied. A person should
not try to overdo. Live and let
live.
High prices are for good times
Low prices are for hard times
A majority Of the people are
earning and spending more than
ever before.
Prices are regulated according
to the price of iron and pork
When iron and pork are high
wares and commodities will be
hioh and vice versa.
II will require two or three
wears for those who have left the
farms to plunge into town and
city life to realize there is more
real living and money in raising
crops than in manufacturing
Iuxuries for foreign countries.
I'm 1921. government officials
will investigate MANY concerns
and as result fraud orders will
be issued in general to protect the
public.
The weather for 1921 will, in
general. be somewhat disagree
able. January and February will
be changeable. The Spring will
be inclined to be dry, cold and
unreasonable. Plant according
ly. The Summer will be wet,
which will benefit those living in
locations with verv little rain
fall. In some localities. hay and
grain will rot. unless given prop
er attention. The Fall will be
wet with early frosts. Be pre-
pared for such weather and gath

carding good roads as the voters
in LAFAYETTE and other surround
mo parishes. VermiIiou has the
worst roads in Louisiana and they
are a drawback to business and a
handicap on the progress and de-
vclopment of that rich parish.
One hundred miles Of first -
roads would cost about SI.25D0N

cradle tax burden on the people.
They could pay for these roads IN

boosting for each other they are

and until it is overcome Vcrmil-

good for the soil.

POOu 1Of the SOIL.
Fruit will vary-in certain To-
calities some kinds will be abuU-
dant, in others somewhat Of a
failure unless given special at
tention. Grapes viii be doubtful.
1t will be an off year, which will
give the vines a rest. Nature
knows best, Mice will be very
numerous. Better feed cat
than mice. Worms scarce, conse-
quentIy, fish will be scarce and
poor in quality. Big fish stories
will be out of fashion. Disease of
all kinds will cure, but slowly.
Contagious diseases will occur,
but not alarmingIy. An Epidemic
will prevail in cattle, sheep and
hogs. but will be soon overcome
by government service and re-
strictions. The, agricultural de-
partments will be Of great help
to the people in many ways-the
information sent out is reliable
and should be appreciated by
more persons.
Furthermore, 1921 will be
known in history as the "Chemi-
cal Year" Many chemical dis
coveries will be made, hence
chemists and doctors will be pop
ular. Newspapers. and magazines
will be read and referred to by
all classes Of people more than
ever before. Every day, some
thing new and useful will be
heard Of.
