AN IMPORTANT INDUSTRY.

One OF the most important indus-
tries that is being built up in this
community is the brick manufacturing
plant owned by Messrs. Williams 4
Finnie, fact that is harly realized
by the majority Of the population. The
Gazette has had occasion from time Tn
time to mention the superior quality
OF brick that Messrs. Williams & Fin
ME turn out. This superiority is ow-
ing to the excellency of the material
used and because the proprietors are
experienced brick makers and know
how to make good brick This indus
try has led rather lingering life, 50
to speak, for a number of years. par
TALLY because there was little demand
for that class of building material,
and further because the outside towns
were not aware that the Oroville brick
could hold their own with the best
brick manufactured in the state. In
ded there is no superior brick made
anywhere, and in very, very few cases
will other brick stand the test in COM
parison with the Oroville made arti-
Gle. Messrs. Williams and Finnie hav,
Kept the plant running steadily all
summer, but have been unable to NEE,
the demand. and had to turn down or
ders. Not only has the local demand
been heavier this year than ever be-
fore, but orders have been received
from all the surrounding country.
Only recently Messrs. Williams & Fin
ME had to turn down very large or
der from Wenatchee, and if the Oro-
Vile brick is once introduced into that
growing city then the capacity of the
local plant will have to be very largely
increased. One of the latest orders
from the outside is one for 100000
brick to be used in the construction
of the elegant new school building to
be erected at Omak. THIS has been the
banner year for the Oroyille brick
yard, but every indication points to a
very large increase in the demand for
brick next year and Messrs. Williams
& Finnie will have to make prepara-
tions to meet the demand. With gen.
eral reduction in the cost of building
there is going to be far more
building next year than there has
been for years past, and brick is be-
coming the standard material for con-
struction of permanent buildings in
north central Washington, and Oro-
Vile should and WILL; be the source
from which most of those brick are
going to come from.

NEW sIMILKAMEEN BRIDGE.

At last there is to be new bYidg,
across the Similkameen river at this
place to take up the patch work bridge
now in use and which has been a men
ace to travel for some time. 1t is owing
to the interpOsition of providence that
the old wooden bridge, that has done
service SO faithfully for years, has
not gone down under the heavy travel
that passes over it daily and supplied a
heavy case of damages to the county
while being the cause of tragedy. In
these days of the high cost of improve
ments We do not believe the county is
justified in building anything unless
absolutely necessary, but in this case
there is not bridge in the county that
Is so generally used as this bridge
across the Similkameen, and the coun-
ty has been at considerable expense
every year propping up the old struc-

bridge is a promise for the future, but
according to the following item from
the Okanogan Independent that future
is not far remote: "At the recent meet
ing of the board of county commits
sioners the auditor was instructed to
call for bids for the construction Of 4
steel or concrete bridge across the

bids will be opened in November and
construction will likely commence i'm
mediately after the first of the year.

on the site of the present structure or
Immediately adjacent. The present
bridge has been in an unsafe condi-
ton for some time and has about serv-
ed its usefulness.

The above report is submitted, not
as a matter of criticism, but as mat
ter of information to which every bus
mess man and member of the Com
mercial Club is entitled. The report
includes only those quotas amounting
to $50 or more, and in reference to
those quotas an analysis of the report
the following facts are developed:
Quotas were assigned to thirty-nine
business men or firms.
Thirty-three paid the first install
ment.
twenty-five paid the second in
stallment.
Ten have paid in full.
Six have not paid anything.
Eighty-five per cent of the first in
stallment was paid.
Sixty per cent Of the second install
ment was paid.
Twenty-one per cent Of the third
installment has been paid.
Fifty-seven per cent of the total has
Ibeen paid.
While the Commercial Club is In a
nosition to meet all demands upon it,
at the same time, in justice to those
ten who have paid in full those mem
bers who have not paid in full should
arrange to do so at the earliest date
possible. The third and final Install
ment was due September 1, 1920. All

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there Is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence Of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record Of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
90 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is 80
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

RAILWAY MEASURE
GOES TO PRESIDENT
EscH-cUmMINS BILL RECEIVES
APPROVAL OF THE SENATE
AND HOUSE.
Labor Leaders Who Oppose Measure
Will Now Endeavor TO Convince
President That He Should Veto
Compromise Plan.

WashingtOn-The compromise Esch-
cummlns railroad bill has been APP
proved by the senate and the house
and Is now before the president for
his approval.
The house adopted the measure by
vote Of $50 TO 15O-a clean margin
Of 100 votes.
BY nearly three to one, the senate
on February % passed and sent 10
the president the modified railroad
reorganization bill under which the
carriers will attempt 10 adjust them
selves 10 conditions arising with the
end Of government control.
There was never any doubt as to
what the senate would do, in view of
the wide margin by which the Cum
minis bill, more drastic than the com
promise was passed. The bill goes
10 President Wilson, and the general
opinion was that he would sign it,
although labor leaders will urge
veto.
Discussion in the senate related
largely 10 labor rate making provis-
Ions Senator Cummins. with feeling
denounced widespread claims that in
fixing freight and passenger charges
calculated TO give the roads a return
of 51s per cent meant taking huge
sums of money from the public treas
ury. The bill, he declared, would not
take one dollar in that way. Such re-
ports, he said. were part of the propa'
ganda put forth in an effort to defeat
legislation on the eve of return OF the
roads 10 their owners, March l.
During the debate in the house, in
which more than a score of represen.
tatives took part, Chairman Esch de-
clared that the roads would be hand
ed back to their owners on March I,
regardless Of whether congress enact |
ed legislation meanwhile. but he
warned the house that defeat Of the
bin at this stage would put half the /
roads of the country in the hands of |
receivers i'm three months.
