ont for the oil fields and they were
not hard to find, as Texas, or the peo-
pie thereof, or rather the people who
have been attracted to the state by
the discovery of oil, have gone almost
daffy over the oil industry that is z
medium through which SO many are
accommodating swift fortunes, and
which is bringing so much wealth to
Texas, for, be it known that the state
reserves one-eighth royalty from all
oil discovered upon and taken from
state lands, and the revenue from that
source is enormous Mr.. Fruit found
what he was looking for in the Goose
Creek district, not far from Houston,
on the gulf shore, where there are
scores of new wells being drilled and
fresh ones coming in almost every
day. Owners of land lease property
for large sums and in addition reserve
small royalties and not infrequently,
where producing wells are sunk, the
royalties will amount to more than
the original sum paid for the lease
Mr. Fruit manipulated around and
purchased a small royalty upon a
piece of ground where a 800 barrel
we'll came in. Subsequently he sold a
third of that royalty for what the roy
atty cost, and his receipts from the
small interest he still holds runs into
very respectable figures.
But that was not his only piece of
| good fortune. In conjunction with
friends he secured a lease on 100
acres of land right in the path of the
oil discoveries. Only few miles to
the west of his holdings twenty-five
or more producing wells have been
tapped. On the adjoining holding to
the west a producer has been discov-
cred and since his arrival north a
producer has been sunk on the land
| adjoining his lease to the east so that
his property is practically surrounded
| with wells from which are being
pumped oil in paying quantities. 1t is
| the intention of Mr.. Fruit and his as
sociates to sink wells at once on the
lease holding and considering the sue
ScoS tHdt has IOiioWcu cAplOl dliOi OIl
every side it is hardly possibility that
they will fail to strike the oily stream
| that insures large wealth for the oper-
ators.
Mr.. Fruit states that Houston is the
coming city of the south. The place is
fairly humming with industry and
growing with leaps and bounds. Oil
is lubricating the wheels of progress
and building is going on as rapidly as
men and money can push construct
ion. Enormous oil refineries are in
process of construction and pipe lines

Logging FOR BUSINESS.

Never before has there been such
flood OF drummers in Oroville as has
been arriving and departing during
the past fortnight, all of them striving
to list orders for fall delivery, urging
buying on the ground that every line
of goods was sure to advance in price
next fall. This insistence to purchase
has left the impression among mer-
chants that manufacturers are expect
ing sharp decline in prices and are
anxious to unload stocks on hand a;
prevailing prices. This may or may
not be correct, but local merchants
are very shy filing fall orders. One Of
them declared to reporter that soma
lines of staple goods were already so
high that he dreaded announcing the
price to customers, and he proposed
cutting down his stock to a minimum
before adding to it, a process of reas-
oning and action if followed by other
dealers would soon have a salutary
effect upon the market.

Forbes is retired regular army Of
ficer and his life has been so filled
with string events that could it be
set down in the way of a biography
would be most interesting and excit-
ing reading. Personally the colonel is
charming gentleman to meet and a
very hound to nose out business and
see that it is done right after it is
captured. Charlie McBroom is a pio-
neer resident of Spokane, and at pres
ent vice-president of the Exchange
National Bank, powerful financial
institution of the Falls City, a position
that he has worked up to after years
of service in the banking game in
Spokane. In all thees years this was
Mr. Broom's first visit to the Okanog-
an country, and he was so surprised
at the evidence Of progress and pros
perity under the irrigation system,
the activity and growth of the town
Of Oroville, with its excellent big no.
tel and modern improvements that he
repeatedly expressed his satisfaction
with everything that came under his.
observation. So we'll pleased was he
that he will probably repeat his visit
at no distant date. Friday afternoon
In company with s. B. Starrett, Jr.,
cashier of the First National Bank,
the visitors made the trip to Penticton
and were charmed with the scenic
beauty of the country through when
they passed. If they will only come to
Oroville in May, when the country is
clothed in its most beautiful garments,
they will be- still more surprised and
pleased with the country.

extend from Houston out to every oil
field. A ship canal brings the largest
sea going vessels up to Houston,
which is inland some 25 miles from
the gulf, and the water front is a
scene of feverish activity. The open
shop prevails in Texas, and the labor
agitator has no standing with public
opinion. High wages is paid in every
branch of labor, strikes are rare and
if one is inaugurated the authorities
stand no nonsense and it is soon settl-
ed and not to the satisfaction of the
trouble makers.
Mr.. Fruit sees the humorous side of
life, which may account in no small
measure for his excellent health, and
the stories he tells of conditions
in the south and things that came I'M
der his observation are very amusing
as well as interesting. He says that
about the only word the native really
knows is democrat, and the way he
tells it sounds amusing from the fact
that Mr.. Fruit is life long member
of that party. He declares that there
are four stratas of society, the north
erner, to whose push and activity
Texas owes the development of the oil
districts and the prosperity that has
come to that state, for If left to the
native nothing of progressive nature
would ever be accomplished. The ma
tive, with little or no get up in his
composition, has no love for the man
coming from north of the Mason and
Dixon line. The negro, of which there
is multitude, and the mule Little or
no distinction is made between the
two latter. Texas, he says, is a mag
nificent empire. with many rich re-
sources, but far behind in modern de-
velOpment. The income of the state
from various resources is almost suf-
ficient to keep up the state govern
ment and taxes are light, but public
Improvement. especially in the up
keep of roads, is sadly neglected. OF
course Mr.. Fruit will return to Texas
in a short time for he has large in
terests there, and from every indica-
ton he is going to make a killing in
the oil fields.
