WILL HAVE BIG
NEW GARAGE

During the week ground will be
broken at the northeast corner of
First avenue and Vancouver street for
the largest and most complete modern
garage In Okanogan county, which is
destined to be the home of the Oro-
Vile Motor company. The contract for
the structure was let to the Holly
Mason company last week, the same
contractors putting up the First Nat
iOnal bank building, which is an as
surance that so fan as construction is
concerned the building will be as
perfect in design and finish as such
class Of work can be done. When the
Oroville Motor company was organiz-
ed last year it was the intention to
build at once, and the brick was pur-
chased and delivered. At that time the
plans contemplated were far more
ambitious than a mere auto garage.
The company was considering the
erection Of large building which was
to include modern theater However,
when the plans and specifications
were at last submitted 1t was found
that on account of the heavy increase
in the cost of construction it would be
impossible to secure sufficient funds
to carry out the proposition. Possibly
had 1t not been for the recent fire, in
which the OrOville Motor company
was a considerable sufferer and was
driven out Of the building occupied
since the company was organized, the
building of new garage would have
been put off until fall, although build
ing this year had been decided upon
Now home for the company is abso-
lutely necessary and the construction
of that home will be pushed as rapidly
as possible. The new building is to be
6Ox15O, one story and as near fire
proof as it can be made. There will
be an office, sales and display room
where extras and accessories will be
kept in stock, fully equipped repair
room and very large storage room
The building when completed will be
a creditable addition to the business
part of town, and another contribu-
ton to the growth that Oroville is go
ing to experience during the year of
1920.

NARROW ESCAPE.

County Assessor Grover B. Fore
considers himself the luckiest man on
earth today. During the heavy wind
storm last Monday. while driving
along the grade just across the river
from Tonasket, he came suddenly out
of cloud of dust upon another car
and in order to avoid a collision turn
ed sharply toward the river and went
over the grade. His car took couple
OF leaps end over end and then turned
on its side and rolled down the en-
bankment for some sixty or seventy
feet Fortunately Grover was thrown
out with the first leap of the car and
escaped unscratched. The car was
badly broken up and has been brought
to local garage for repairs.-Oka-

UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT.

A. p. Lowell the well-known garage
man of this city, has taken the agency
OF the central part of Okanogan coun-
ty for the line of motor cars handled
by the Oroville Motor company. The
line includes the we'll known Buick
and Chevrolet cars and the G. M. c..
trucks. Mr.. Lowell's territory includes
Riverside, Omak, Conconully, Oka-
hogan, Malott and Monse. The Oro-
vile Motor company in sub-letting
this territory to Mr.. Lowell, have in
dicated their intention not to construct
a garage here this year as has been
anticipated. They figure that by COM
bining their busines with the we'll es-
tablished garage bushes of Mr.. Low
ell they will be able to serve their
customers in this territory to as good
advantage as if they were to build
and to an advantage to themselves at
time when building material and la
Dor are at such high figure.-Oka-

NEW ARRIVAL.

Friday last George Terrence of
Cashmere, with all his household
goods and gods arrived in Oroville
and took possession of the 2O-acre
tract in the East Oroville Orchard
tracts that he purchased short time
ago from Mr.. Brooks. Mr.. Terrence is
an experienced orchardist, graduating
in one of the most famous orchard
districts of eastern Washington, and
in very short time he will work
such Transformation in the property
that he has secured in the valley that
it will hardly be known. The Torrenc7
family is a valuable addition to the
population of this locality, one almost
could claim them for Oroville and
certainly adds materially to the popu-
lation, as six of the children entered
the public school this week.

PRAISE FROM AN EXPERT.

During the past week C.. A. Pooley,
assistant superintendent of the Hecla
mine, one of the greatest producing
properties of the celebrated Coeur
dAlene mining district, spent several
days in Oroville. Sunday he was TAX
en- to the property of the Southern
Minnesota and Washington Mining
company, near Nighthawk, the old
Lone Pine, and he thoroughly inspect
ed the underground workings and the
exposure of ore in sight. Mr.. Pooley
is man of few words, but after ex-
amining the ore and the evident guam
tity he remarked that the owners were
almost certain to become millionaires.
He further stated that if the mine was
located in the Occur dAlenes it would
command an enormous price. Such
words of commentator from a man
of such experience as Mr.. Pooley, an
experience gathered from years of op-
Grating producing and paying mines
in the greatest mining districts of the
west, carries weight that is not at
tached to the expressed opinion of
men that are novices in the mining
industry. His views are only repeti-
ton of the judgment of other men of
mining knowledge who have visited
and looked over the showings on this
particular property, and conclusions
reached by this class of men estab-
lish the claim that the property Of the
Southern Minnesota and Washington
Mining company is one of the most
valuable in the northwest and will yet
prove an important addition to the
paying mines of the northwest, which
is a good thing for the owners and a
good thing for Oroville.

TO CLEAN UP
THE CITY PARK

The Gazette has been requested to
announce that there will be a half
holiday next Friday. April %. when
every business house will be closed
and everybody will go out to the town
park, on Osoyoos lake and assist in
clearing off the grounds. The aim is
toicut out all the underbrush, rake off
the grounds and place them in condi-
tion for picnics and campers. This
tract Of land that the town wisely Sc
cured for a park Is situated q short
distance north Of the town limits, on
the west shore OF Lake Osoyoos. and Is
about the only place on the west
shore where there are any shade trees.
1T Is beautiful and attractive loca-
ti0n for public park. From donations
from the county. town and citizens a
snfficent amount of money has been
raised to complete a good road from
the town to the park. The cleanup
raid that Is to be made next Friday
grew out of action on the part OF the
Commercial Club, and the citizens
have fallen heartily for the idea. The
request is made that all volunteers,
and that should include every male
resident of the town. wear their old
clothes. and appear on the scene arm
ea With an ak. or rake. or other use
full Implement that can be used in
clearing and cleaning the land. Be-
sides preparing the grounds for the
use of the citizens another object is
in view. 1t is realized that there will
be heavy automobile travel through
Oroville of excursionists going into
and coming out of British Columbia,
as this route is becoming the most
popular in the northwest, and it is
desired to have place where auto
travellers can go into camp during the
time they may stay in Oroville. This
park makes an ideal camping place,
and It Is the intention of the citizens
to supply conveniences at the park
for all such visitors. Remember the
date. n axt Friday, April %, and be on
ne nd Ssv do your bit Cars will be At
hand to convey workers to and from
the grounds, drones. If any there be

Water was turned through the irri-
cation bitches Monday from the boun-
dary line to the south end of the sys-
tenn. Water has been on as far as Oro-
vile for a week or more, but the reg
ular service was provided for by the
filling of the fumes and bitches Mon
day. The system is much improved
over the conditions of last year as the
wooden flume has been metal lined
for long distances and much concrete
work has been done throughout the
winter. These improvements will be
continued from year to year until the
system is in perfect and permanent
condition.

AFTERMATH OF THE FLU,

Oliver Tufty was in town from To-
nasket Sunday. Mr.. Tufty was a vic
tim of the flu when that disease was
hitting it up lively few weeks ago
and he finds it very difficult to get
over the after effects of the ailment
1t left his legs somewhat unreliable
and Mr.. Tufty is finding considerable
difficulty in moving around. While
there is not much kick left in his legs
there is a good deal noticeable in his
articulator as he rails against afflic-
ton that he inherited from his siege
Of sickness.

WANT FARMERS
PLANT TOMATOES

Inc cannery is go. The money has
been raised to finance the proposition
A number of residents have come
across cheerfully and generously. A
man has been secured as manager
one largely interested in the success
of the venture through putting up his
own money, who has had the exper-
ience and knowledge necessary to
make the enterprise paying one. The
construction of the cannery and its
operation now rests solely with the
land owners of this valley, who have
been crying out for years for a local
market for their products. Here Is a
sure and certain market for a large
production of a specified vegetable
and all the hackers of the cannery ask
is that the growers produce and de-
liver the article, and a price will be
established that will pay the grower
handsomely. 1t is necessary to sign up
for 200 acres of tomatoes, the vege-
table that the cannery will handle this
year. That is a small, very small frac-
tion of the acreage under the irriga-
tion system perfectly adapted to the
growth of this vegetable. There are a
sufficient number Of land owners in
the valley to pledge 200 acres if each
would devote only small tract to the
growth of this single vegetable. No
man is barred from any number Of
acres that he can plant but the can
merry must have written and pledged
agreement that the tomatoes will be
forthcoming when they are required
Or hand promises are an uncertainty
that cannot be depended upon. Every
man willing to grow tomatoes for this
cannery should be ready to sign an
agreement that he will plant, cultivate
and grow a stated number of acres
and deliver the product at the place
where the raw material is required.
For the purpose of insuring the carry
ing out of pledges an agreement is
being prepared, equally binding to
both parties to that contract. This
agreement prosides for the growing
of tomatoes upon the number of acres
that the land owner can plant to that
vegetable. Farmers are requested to
Immediately call at either of the
banks or any of the business houses
in Oroville and sign one of these con-
tracts. The contributors to this enter
prise must know that they are to be
furnished the material before con-
struction and equipment of a plant
can be undertaken, and the sooner
the required number of acres are
pledged the snooner building opera
tions will commence. 1t is too much TO
ask that the business men of Oroville
should take the time and trouble to
travel around the valley and interview
each individual. They have had their
hands full, and no end of labor push
ing the movement along to the point
where a cannery has been secured. 1t
now rests wholly upon the land own
ers of the valley whether the town is
to have the cannery. These land own
ers for several years have been clam
moring for cannery. Here it is with
in reach. Pledge the 200 acres of to-
matoes and when that crop is ready
for delivery the cannery will be ready
to receive the product and local
market at attractive prices is estab-
lished. Get a move on.
