A MILD PROTEST..

At the meeting of the town council
Shaw-Borden Printing company ap-
peared before that body and to him
was awarded the printing of the bonds
for Improvement District No. 2. This
representative of the Shaw-BOrden
company can hardly be denounced for
ing his dirty stipend by taking work
away from local printers, but we have
nothing but contempt for the company
that sends representatives into coun-
try towns to do their bidding. The
council momentarily forgot that
Shaw-Borden spends no money in
Oroville, and that aside from spending
all he makes in the town the publisher
of the Gazette will be called upon to
contribute 1868 toward the public i'm
provements for which the bonds are
issued. The job is a small one, but it
is the principle we protest against.
We have known the Shaw-Borden peO-
pie since the company first went into
business, and always imagined that
they were square and prosperous, but
it is evident that the company is los
ing cast in the city in which they
operate and are compelled to go out
into the country and prey on other
communities in order to exist. If this
company lives up to the rates it was
a party to formulating it cannot do
job work cheaper than it is done by
this office and it cannot do it any bet
ter. If the company cuts prices in the
country then it's personnel is thu most
contemplate body of men that ever
transacted business. But we cannot
believe that Mr.. Borden, who is at the
head of the establishment, would be
guilty of price cutting, and can
only protest against his soliciting
Of work in this balliwick when all of
it is no more than will keep alive a
local plant. All that we ask is that
the business men of this place give
this office a chance to do the work
they want done. If it proves to be a
class of work that cannot be done in
a country office we will not hesitate
to say so, but there are but few jobs
of that kind that the Gazette is not
prepared to handle.

THAT b. c. IRRIGATION SYSTEM.

Anything pertaining the big British
Columbia irrigation system, just across
the line from Oroville, is read with in
terest by the residents of this place,
because the completion and settlement
Of this vast reclaimed territory, en-
bracing $4,000 acres, will have a direct
as well as indirect influence upon Orc.
vile. and a beneficial influence at that.
or course the advantages that this
town expects from so large a reclaim
ed contiguous territory is not through
wrestling such advantages from towns
on the other side of the line, for natur-
ally and properly the bulk of whatever
advantage grows out of the prosperity
of that section will be reaped by Brit
ish Columbia towns, but in the very
mature of the location, it's juxtoposition
to the railroads that center in Oroville,
from the fact that the land is in easier
reach from the railroads through Orc
Vile, that Oroville is within a few
minutes auto drive from the very
center Of this project will have its
Influence in attracting people who
make their home under the system, to
this place. We expect to see the
most amicable relations develop be-
tween the settlers on the tract and
the people of this place, and that
friendly spirit will be such that the
existence of an imaginary line of sepa-
ration will be forgotten with the social
and business mingling of the peoples
OF both sides of the boundary. The
article published below is taken from
the Penticton Herald:
by midsummer more than 400 men
will be employed on the Fairview-
Osoyoos soldier settlement irrigation
project, according to predictions.
THE southern lands present a
scene of great activity, but the con
struction work already undertaken
will hardly be a patch on that still to
come, insofar as busy scenes are con-
cerned, says the Penticton Herald.
Much of the heavy portion of the ditch
construction has been finished, but
there is a great deal of concreting and
lateral digging yet to be handled.
SoHtioSI lOI tHe lllSI elSlt anu q
half miles of main ditch from the dam
at Mclntyre's down to a point about
three quarters of a mile north of the
demonstration farm was completed I'M
der the unit price system. This year,
however, the extension on down to the
rock cliff about midway on Osoyoos
lake will be on force account, or what
is ordinarily known as cost plus. The
reason for the change is that no con-
J tractor is willing to take a unit con-
tract because of uncertain labor and
material conditions.
Col. Griffin will continue to handle
the work, assisted by his brother, Maj.
Griffin.
THE distribution system down to the
head of Osoyoos lake will be built this
summer, it is expected, this work being
in addition to the extension of the main
ditch. Water will be available for much
f the land in the settlement tract dur
ing the summer months. It is not
known yet, however, whether any al
lotment of land will be made this year.
or whether the government will wait
until next spring, by which time it is
anticipated the main and distribution
systems for all the lower lands will be
completed to the international bound
ary."
