CIVAL WAR VETERAN.

John Helm, father of Joe Helm, our
we'll known restaurant man, arrived
in town Monday to pay his son visit
of a day or two. Mr. Helm senior serv-
ed in the 18th Minnesota during the
civil war, and was also engaged in the
Indian war of 1868, when the Indian
massacres of northern Minnesota ere
ated such a sensation throughout the
north, an incident the writer remem-
bers well, as he was resident of
northern Illinois, and as a boy saw
the Indian prisoners captured at the
time and held in a stockade at Daven-
port, Iowa. One of the Indian chiefs
was pointed out to us as man who
had killed a number of whites with
his own hands, and we, like everybody
else, wondered why the government
had not hung the red devil higher
than Hammer, as it did hang a num-
Der of Indians after the cruel slaugh-
ter. But that Is losing sight of the Wis
itor in our midst MIR. Helm. although
we'll advanced in years, Is bearing his
age wonderfully we'll, and is a genial

Bremerton, but spends much of his
time travelling. He came unexpected
and his appearance in Oroville was a
great surprise to his son Joseph, who

RETURN OF AN OLD TIMER.

Pat Connolly was in town Tuesday
coming north from Arizona, where he
has been living for the past ten years,
few days ago. Old Loomis pioneers
will remember jolly Pat Connolly,
miner and prospector, who formerly
made his headquarters at that camp,
working in the mines for grub stake
and when the stake was secured roam
ing the hills in search of the elusive
treasures A decade ago Connolly left
for the far south, where he has contin-
ued prospecting with more or less sue
cess, and who will continue to pros
pect so long as he can swing a pick.
This is the first time he has visited the
land Of his old exploits since leaving
and was surprised to note the great
changes that have taken place since he
left. He still retains homestead in the
Pine Creek neighborhood, and is here
on deal he expects to make for the
timber on the claim. He says he will
return to Arizona, as he has got used
to the climate down in the far south,
and besides, the chances for pros
pector are far better in Arizona than
any state on the coast.

OUT IN NEW TOGS.

Up to date the ball team this season
has been shy suits of single color
and pattern, and when the nine ap-
peared OH the field the outfit looked
lkeJoseph's coat of many colors. That
shortage has been remedied and the
public will see the boys prancing
around Sunday in brand new uni
forms. These uniforms were secured
at a greatly reduced price from He'd
ley. 1t seems that a club at that place
had ordered suits in the spring and
when the uniforms arrived there was
no club to which they could be at
tached. Shorty Wagner knew of the
suits and that they could be obtained
at greatly reduced price, and so he
went to Hedley Monday and gathered
them in. The club had to have suits
and the boys secured for $3.50 what
they would have had to pay something
like $500 for if ordered from firms
turning out that class of goods.

IMPROVED PHONE SERVICE.

While at Nelson last week w. H.
Crandall, auditor of the Pacific Coast
Telephaph and Telephone company,
completed arrangements to connect
up the long distance line with the
East Okanogan Farmers Telephone
system, which serves the hill country
to the east, and which has been liza
bility to the farmers, nuisance and a
misnomer as a means of communica-
tion for all the patrons. Negotiations
for this connection have been under
way for long time, but the human
being is suspicious animal and the
idea prevailed in some quarters that
the big company wanted to swallow
the little company, and leave the farm
ers nothing but memory of money
invested in a telephone line that got
them no service, yet represented an
investment of considerable ready cash.
Mr.. Crandall had to do a lot of ex-
planning and jockying before he could
make his purpose clear and secure
consent to make the desired connec-
tion. Now that it is all over and the
patrons of the line find that they can
talk to points that they want to reach
over line that was voiceless hereto
fore they feel that they stood in their
own light by delaying acceptance OF
the proposition as long as they did

MORE RICH ORE.

Little has been said of the progress
of work at the Southern minnesota
and Washington mine, the former
Lone Pine, recently but that does not
mean that the operators have been
idle. Development at the mine is con-
tinuing steadily and the operators are
buildins a good, passable road to the
Similkameen rver. And as develop
ment goes ou the exposure and eX-
traction of excellent ore continues
What amount CT this ore is in sight
we are not prepared to say, but even
if there be but small ledge of the
same character Of ore as the samples
that have been brought to town dur
ing the past week it would seem that
in the course Of time, and very short
time at that, tiis property should be
shipping and receiving handsome re-
turns from the shipments. The samples
on exhibition are not smal! spe cimens
but large pieces of solid mineral Of
great weight and carrying high values.
Opening up a quartz mina is both SLOW
and expensive, but those interested in
the S. M. & w. are plugging away
steadily, encouraged by the prospects
as they we'll may be, and determined
to make a paying mine if the stuff is
there out of which paying mines are
made, and from all visible evidence
the stuff is surely there. Speed the
day when this mine is in the produc-
ing class, as success at the Southern
Minnesota and Washington mine
would inaugurate an impetus in To-
cal mining that would make that in
dustry an important cor$ributary re-
source in building up Oroville.

FAREWELL RECEPTION.

Last Friday afternoon Mrs. Frank
M. Dallam gave a farewell reception
to Mrs. J. S. Gray, on the eve of her
departure to her new home at Spring
dale. The invited guests included the
elderly friends and acquaintance of
the departing lady in the community
and included Mesdames Gray, Lewis,
Davis, Taylor, Samson, Grathwohl,
Ferguson, Robinson, Hume, Hoskyn,
Powell, Smith, Norris, Mccall, Sexson
and Hare. 1t is not our intention to
class Mrs. Lewis, daughter of Mrs
Gray, and Mrs. Taylor as among the
old people who constituted the chief
list of the guests. They were there to
see that the elderly danes were held
in leash that they might not become
too gay and festive. Although the
gathering was for the purpose OF
speeding a departing guest, who Will
be missed in the community by all
who have the pleasure of her ac-
uuaintance, this meeting for the last
time of the one who was to go and
those who were to stay was a most
happy event and was greatly enjoyed
by the participants. Choice refresh
ments were served during the after
noon, and the time was passed with
music and animated converse. The
party broke up wishing Mrs. Gray God
speed. happy future and the express
ed hope that she might visit Oroville
whenever the opportunity presented.

kEREMEOS vs.. OROVILLE.

Another ball game is billed to take
place on the local grounds Sunday and
it promises to be hummer. Those who
enjoyed the exhibition last Sunday will
want to see the Orovilles in action
again and large crowd can be expect
ed. And they are not going to be dis
appointed in the nature of this game
for it is sure to be close and exciting.
The Keremeos team that is to try out
conclusions with the locals is made up
of experienced " ers, and it can be
expected that kt sgaeos will present
the strongest line-up that has ever
represented our neighboring British
Columbia town. That club has been
strengthened by new material and the
visitors are going to try and wipe out
the defeat they suffered through the
hands of Oroville a few weeks ago.
Game will be called Sunday at 2:30.

DEADLY TO STOCK.

In early days before the chemical
virtues of the salts lakes in this part
of the county were known cattle men
designated these pools under the gen.
eral head of poison lakes, and what
the waters of those lakes did to cattle
most assuredly entitled them to the
deadly name. And the waters of those
lakes, where they contain water at all,
is just as fatal to stock today as in the
days of long ago when cattle had the
free range Of the hills. An instance
showing how quick this salts can snuff
out the life of domestic beast is re-
lated by Percy Eastman, who has
charge of the work of extracting salts
from the lake from which the Stewart.
Calvert company is now drawing q
large supply. Mr.. Eastman says that
one morning last week he noticed a
large black cow come off the hills
with its tongue hanging out as though
suffering from thirst, making directly
for one of the pools of water on the
lake. knowing what the result would
be If the COW ever drank of the water.
Mr.. Eastman called his dog and rush
ed toward the COW to drive her awav.
Before he could reach her she had
drank small quantity of the water,
and then started off on a trot chased
by the dog. That cow travelled only
few hundred feet when she dropped
down and by the time Mr.. Eastman
had reached the spot she was stone
dead. having swollen up in that brief
time as large as barrel,

ENTERPRISINC
OLD TIMER

Thos. S. Blythe, of 1Twisp. was in
town over Tuesday night on business
and we found him to b. the same ole
courteous. pleasant gentleman tha,
Fattracted us to him many years age
when we first met him. Mr.. Blythe is
an old resident OF eastern Washing.
ton and is widely knotsn all over the
state. In territorial days, and for
some time afterwards. he owned many
sections of land in Douglas county
now embraced in Grant county
around Moses lake, and ii his cattle
did not browse upon asthousand hills,
there were certaily thousands of cat
tie grazing over the high spots and in
the eoulees of that uninhabited en-
pire, for the vacant country was al
most an empire in extent. With the
coming of the Great Northern railroad
came numerous settlers who wera
familiar with dry farming and had an
idea that with intensive cultivation
and other tricks to induce vegetation
with which experience mad made them
familiar the desert lands of Grant
county could be made to yield paying
, crops. That they were somewhat disap-
pointed to find the process followed
did not always bring results. and that
in this late day they had to depend
upon the Vaccinations of a professi-
onal rain maker to secure moisture,
is another story. What we started out
to say, was, the advent of the settler
introduced that modern horror, the
barbed wire fence. and gradually Mr.
Blythe found his free range curtailed.
Realizing that it would be but ques-
tion Of time until his stock would be
confined to limited territory Mr..
Blythe disposed of the cattle and sold
off the land, finding himself in quite
a comfortable situation financially
But men of Mr. Blythe's activity and
resourcefulness cannot remain idle
Doing things becomes almost dis
ease, and it was not long before he
was over in the Methow valley making
plans to get action on his money and
while doing so developing that choice
section of the Okanogans country He
started in constructing an irrigation
system to cover, some 5000 acres.
Now. constructing Irrigation systems
eats up money, as the people of the
Okanogan valley up3er fumes AMI
bitches VIII very resttAy understand.
and Mr.. Blythe put in much over
100000 in the enterprise. While the
land is all right and attractive the
Methow valley is very much off the
beaten road of travel and out of the
way and the lands did not Sell with
the rapidity that Mr.. Blythe had every
reason to expect, and so the venture
did not prove the money maker that
it's promoter anticipated. However
some of the land was disposei of and
Mr.. Blythe owns sufficient which pro-
duces enough to supply his wants, and
if he did not make fortune he Is get
ting on comfortably and being a gen.
tleman of very philosophical turn of
mind he is contented, and being in
most excellent health is enjoying life.

VISIT AFTER MANY YEARS.

w. H. Watson of Spokane, was in
town over Tuesday evening and left
for Okanogan Wednesday morning,
where he is to appear as attorney in a
land case. Mr. Watson was a resident
of Conconully years ago and there are
few here now who remember him. He
left Conconully some % years ago, and
this was his first visit to the county
since he left. At one time he served
as county superintendent of schools
when there were few schools and very
few pupils to superintend. His duties
were not arduous in those days ex-
cepting the hardships Of travelling
necessary to undergo in order to visit
the scattered school houses that were
far apart and very much of the back
woods variety. Mr.. Watson hardly ex-

IMPORTANT TO
LAND OWNERS

| When on the coast last week Geo
w. Whistler, who as grower himself
is much interested in finding markets
for the products of the valley. made
a trip to Puyallup, visited the canning
factory at that place and had an in
terview with w. Fl. Paulhamus, pres
ident of the company relative to the
soft fruits of this locality. Mr.. Whist
| Ter points out that the annual crop OF
| peaches and apricots that can be
grown in this valley at prices will
| pay the grower a fancy margin or
| profit He further states that there Is
| considerable land that is not really
for the raising of this class of fruits.
1t is we'll known that the peaches and
apricots raised in this part of the
Okanogan valley are superior in size
and flavor to similar fruits grown any
where on the coast. Mr.. Whistler urges
land owners under the irrigation sys-
TEN to carefully consider this propo-
sition and devote more of their land
to the growing of standard varieties
of these soft fruits. Since his return
to Oroville Mr.. Whistler has received
the following letter from Mr.. Paulha-
mus, the contents of which should ap-
peal to and encourage every property
holder to enter into the raising Of
apricots and peaches:
"Mr George Whistler, Oroville, Wn
Dear Sir:-Refering to the conversa-
ton we had in this office several days
ago in regard to raising fruit for can
ming purposes. lnasmuch as the grow
ers in the Oroville district are not fa-
miliar with cannery needs and prices
pertaining to cannery stock, we beg to
offer the following proposition for the
consideration of the Oroville growers.
I'VE would be willing to make min
imum offer on Elbertas and Crawford
peaches, Morpark apricots, Montmor-
ency sour cherries, Italian prunes and
DamsOn plums. We will further agree
to meet the California prices paid for
cannery stock of these same varieties
You will understand that our busi-
ness is in direct competition with the
California Fruit Growers Association
and therefore it follows that we will
have to buy our raw material at about
the same figure paid by the California
people.
this arrangement the growers
in the Oroville district would be re-
ceiving the same price per pound for
cannery fruit as the growers in the
California district.
1--WE would be pleased to have the
growers in the Oroville, Cordell, and
Ellisforde districts give this matter
due consideration and would very
much like to have your reply to this
letter as soon as convenient
Under this arrangement we would
be willing to enter into long time
contract which should work out to
our mutual advantage.
Thanking you for your inquiry, we
remain. yours very truly,
w. II. PAULHAMUS,
President"

DEATH OF
DR.. S. H. MANLEY

just as the paper was going to press
last week word was received by wire
by Mrs c. c. Hedger that her father,
Or. 5. II. Manley, formerly of Republic,
mad died at San Francisco last Thurs
DAY morning. The death of DR.. Manley
was not unexpected, as he had been in
very serious condition for long
time. 1t is understood that an operation
was decided upon as a last resort in
hopes that it might bring relief, but
DR.. Manley himself had little hope life
could be prolonged Death followed the
operation
DR.. Manley was born on farm near
Norwalk. Ohio. March 10, 1S47. and
hence was aged 7S years and 3 months
at the time of his death. He was a
graduate Of the Keokuk (Iowa) Med
ical College, receiving his diploma in
1873. He came west to the territory of
Washington in the early SOS, first set
Ting on the coast. He was elected to
the territorial legislature from What
com county in 1884 In 1885 he crossed
the mountains into eastern Washing
ton and located at Colville, and from
Stevens county was elected to the
constitutional convention which con-
vened in 1889. At the time of the Re-
public boom he moved from Colville
to that city, where he continued to
reside until few years ago, when he
moved to San Francisco. DR.. Manley
took an active part in civic affairs of
Republic in the days when that camp
promised to be second Butte, and
built up large private practice. H,
was county physician, coroner and
president Of the board of health. He
had such confidence in the future of
the camp that he built and equipped
hospital, and gave of his time and
means toward promoting every public
enterprise.
In 1887 DR.. Manley married Miss
Florence Gotel. of Saginaw, Michigan
and to that union eight children were
born, four of whom survive, Mrs. C. G.
Hedger. of Oroville and two daughters
and son who are with Mrs. Manley
in San Francisco.
Personally, DR.. Manley was a gen
ial. generous and most likeab!e gen.
tleman and he made a host of friends
throughout northeastern Washington,
where he was widely known, who will
sincerely regret his death e-s--+-''
