RAISES 200 HOGS AND
BEATS TOBACCO CAME

Tarboro, Sept. 14-Mr. II. G..
Brown, a we'll known farmer OF
near Coneto, who owns a seven Or
eight-horse crop, was greatly put
out over the labor problem early
IN the year. All the cOlored help
he could get wanted to raise to-
bacco, but neither he nor they
knew much about this crop, so he
refused and turned his attention
to raising hogs. He now has the
laugh en- tobacco raisers, for he
has 200 fine hogs and the price
for hog meat remains pretty
steady, he says. If there were
more farmers in this section OF
the State who knew more about
raising food crops and less about
tobacco. we would be healthier
and happier community.

40 BL MADE OVER.

Hon. Hans Lund, who has been at
Tonasket for some weeks, was in town
Saturday on the eve OF his departure
lor the east. Mr. Lunds anatomy Is
somewhat out OF whack and he stated
that when he returned east he would
have his back bone removed, some toes
amputated, his teeth extracted, and VI
there were any more of his fixtures,
external or internal, that needed re-
moval or fixing he would have the
same amended while the surgeons
were working him over. Knowing that
We are a credulous bird he may have
been putting one over ON US, but he
seemed to be in deadly earnest and we
are giving the story as it was told to
us. If he is really forced to 60 through
this ordeal We trust that the genial
old scout will pull out all right and
return west later in the season so well
made over that it will be hard to rec.
ognize him. In the meantime Mr.. Lund
appears to be enjoying life, and he was
just as full of valuable information
and interesting anecdotes as at any
time during the many years that we
have had the pleasure of knowing him.

WARM PROTEST.

Now what do you think Of this, taken
from the Penticton Herald: "The num-
Der of cases of drunkenness in town
and the amount of booze which weekly
goes over the Richter Pass from Pen
ticton would indicate that wide open
conditions are no worse than the stage
We appear to be approaching. The pro-
hibition act means little or nothing In
this community except that the open
drinking in bars has gone. But liquor
is still sold every day in the town and
some people are making big returns
out of it, both in selling here and In
turning it over to American smugglers
coming up the Similkameen from
Nighthawk." There is straight indict-
ment coming from the source of the
liquor supply that is making so much
trouble in this locality II some of
these smugglers could be caught and
given the very limit it might have q
salutary effect in cutting off the sup
ply.

manual operations until next Monday
so that the good intention could bs

NEEDED ROADS.

Commissioner Frank Mitchell has
succeede in starting work on some OF
the roads leading out of Oroville east
ward that long have needed construc-
ton. One of these roads is surveyed
up Nine-mile creek to the Haywood
flat and will accommodate a number
of people who at present find it diff
cult to get down into the valley. The
other road is to be constructed on the
south side of Tonasket creek starting
from the west end of the Chase place
This latter road is one that is very
much needed, as it extends up into the
timber belt of the upper reaches Of the
hills to the east of town. The survey is
being made and grade established and
when completed these roads will not
only be great convenience to large
number of people but they will be pei
manently constructed.

OVERLOOKING A GOOD THING

The Penticton Herald Is advocating
the setting apart Of camping ground
for auto tourists. We are surprised
that that otherwise enterprising mu.
nicipality has not taken this matter up
before this late and date and provided
a desirable place for campers on the
beautiful Okanogan lake front. Mos.
of us local residents making Penticton
prefer the pleasant and inviting In
cola hotel, but hundreds of travellers
from a distance, or out Of this place
for long trip, naturally prefer out
door camping, for that is one of the
objects for making such a trip. and
Penticton can attract those travellers
for longer period than single day
|if an attractive camping place was
provided. We doubt If the people OF
Penticton realize the number of auto.
lists passing through their city. Lo-
Gated here on the main artery of travel
almost the only route open from the
south into British Columbia, we know
that this auto travel in the summer.
and especially this summer even In
the face of a gasoline shortage, Is al
most regular procession. No stranger
comes to Oroville by car but what we
advise them to make the Penticton trip
partially because we have warm
spot in our heart for our Canadian
neighbors, but more especially because
the trip is one of the most delightful
from scenic point Of view In the
northwest. We feel that II these travel
ers can be induced to go over the route
they will not only come again, but they
will spread the gospel of Oroville and
Penticton and arouse desire among
others to enjoy the beauties Of that
excursion.

MINNESOTA VISITORS.

Mr.. and Mrs. F. e. Hadiey. of Winnie.
bago, Mimi, have been visiting at the
home Of Mr.. Hadley's brother-in-law
F. L. Perrizo. during the past week
Mr.. Hadley is one Of the prominent
citizens Of the great state of Mime
sofa. He publishes an Influential pa
per at Winnebago, and t&kes very
active part in the politicssof the state.
Mr.. Hadley was one Of several repub-
lican candidates for govesnor before
the recent primaries, but n the elm
ination contest lost outsby a narrow
margin. He never plays thu dog in the
manger act, and he at once took off
his coat, entered the primary cam
paign and put in streuouil few weeks
working for the successfuiE Ehomnee on
the republican ticket. The fight this
year in Minnesota was against that
threat OF soviet government that
rests In the non-partisan rty. that
Is very strong in Minnesott. which ia
fruitful field for that isIA owing to
the large foreign population Mr.. Had
ley's arraignment of non partisan
methods should be heard by every
reasoning farmer in this county, and
1t il a matter of regret thSt he could
not have addressed public meeting
while In Oroville, as he has first hand
information as to the results of nom
partisanship government In Notrh Da-
kota and Is a speaker of Force and
ability. Mr.. Hadlyey has many friends
and acquaintances in North Dakota,
and is perfectly familiar With what
that party has done for thy farming
community of the state. Personally Mr..
Hadley is broad minded, genial gen.
tleman, with an attractive Snd force
full personality which wins the esteem
and confidence of those hescomes in
contact with, and after meeting him
we can we'll understand why he has
won so high a place in the good will
of the people of his home state. He
may have failed this year, but as he is
still comparatively young imam We
are predicting that he will yet win the
honor of being governor ofA.or state
senator from, Minnesota

After his accident Sunday morning,
and while his car was still in the bot.
tom of the gulch, Jess Sexson sold the
car that had not been very much dam
aged to L. E. Phillips and Ray
Harding. The boys went up to the
scene of the accident in the afternoor
and decided not to pull the car out
until the next morning. When they
returned the next day they found tnat
some thief had stolen two new tires,
taking the tubes and riYs and other
pieces Of the machine that cannot be
replaced for less than 1892.
A van Haveskerke, father of Mrs.
Anson Cobb, has been spending a few
days in Oroville, coming over from his
home at Monroe. MIR. van Haveskerke
is a talented musician as we'll as a
linguist and may decide to locate in
Oroville. He would be a valuable addi-
ton to the community. and especially
so II he could be secured to resurrect
the band of which the town was so
proud few years ago. Personally Mr..
van Haveskerke is a very pleasant and
genial gentleman, and the oftner one
meets him the better one likes him.

RAIN AT LAST.

After many days of drouth the gen.
tie rain fell here copiously Monday
and there was follow up rain Tues
day of less volume, laying the suffo-
eating dust, cooling the superheated
atmosphere and better than all doing
a vast amount of good to the hill
farms at the same time helping out
the irrigated section. Had this rain
come fifteen days earlier it would have
been far more beneficial. but let us be
thankful that it arrived at all. While
the heat and drouth had worked hav-
oc in some localities where even del
uge could not have relieved the situa-
ton, still there are portions Of the
county where growing grain is going
to feel the benefit of this moisture
and crops will result where chances
were against any yield at all. The
coming of the rain surely put a smile
on the face of nature as 1t did upon
that of every individual one met upon
the street.

REQUEST TO REMEMBER,

During the hot weather the drain on
the town water supply is very heavy,
at times almost emptying the reser-
vOir, Notwithstanding the big pump
chugging away constantly. At the fire
Saturday, Water Commissioner Hoose,
had to request that one stream be cut
off early in the fight on account of
water shortage. In that particular case
cutting off stream did not matter,
as the fi~4 was practically out, but
should there be large fire and it be-
came necessary to conserve water, or
let the fire work it's own sweet will,
much property would be lost. In this
connection water users are urged to
shut off every tap at the time of fire
alarm so that all the water that can
be pumped can be used for the one
object of saving property.

SMALL FIRE.

Two small frame buildings near the
corner OF Spokane street aud Railroad
avenue were entirely destroyed by fire
at 1870 Saturday afternoon. One was
|owned by Jake Kast and the other by
d. Maske. There was little of any val
ue in the building owned by Mr.. Kast,
and the other house was unoccupied.
Some one had carlessly thrown a Gig
arctic butt or lighted match in the
dry weeds on the south side of the
kast building. A child in the neigh.
borhoOd saw the fire start In the grass
and ignite the side of the building.
Mr.. Maske was the first to turn In an
alarm. He had just finished his lunch
In the rooms he occupies in the second
story of the Stoffern building when
he noticed that the building was burn
ing on the outside. Everything is so
dry that the flames burned with fierce
rapidly. and by the time that the hose
mass OF flames. and the fire had ig-
nited the Maske building adjoining,
endangering the residence of Joe Helm
to the north. The dry pine threw out a
terrific heat and heavy cloud of
black smoke gave out the impression
to those at distance that all the
buildings on Main street were in
flames. While there was very little de-
lay in getting streams of water into
action, yet by the time firemen had
two lines of hose laid the buildings
were practically wrecked. A lead of
hose was stretched from the hydrant
at the Civic League park corner, and
a second lead from the Woodbury. lum-
Der yard corner. AS soon as water was
turned on all danger of the fire
spreading was over, demonstrating the
of the local water service.
The only loss was the material in the
two buildings which was old and
probably worth hardly more than two
or three hundred dollars. No insurance
was carried.
