LOOKKS UPON THE BRIGHT SIDE.

e"eased IN for years. Mr.. Hutchinson

since early days. He is not dealing in
any Grape, but reports that he finds
pusines generally in a more healthy
condition with more optimistic feel
ing among all classes.
Mr.. Hutchinson was we'll pleased
with the appearance of the valley
around Oroville and expressed the
opinion that nothing could prevent
oroville becoming second Wenatchee
as soon as the hundreds of acres of
truit trees once come into bearing

those who live here, and elected to
SUCK by the old town, would in a few
years witness marvellous transfor-

resources and such an ideal location
Oroyille could not fail to become a
city OF considerable size. While Mr..
Hutchinsons opinion was only cor
robative of the same view frequently
expressed by other strangers visiting
the town, still at this time, when pro-
gress seems at a standstill, to hear
him praise the town, its attractive To-
cation and its bright prospects was
very encouraging.

OFF TO INSPECT A MINE.

Mr.. and Mrs. j. E. Getsey arrived
in town by auto from Spokane Mon
day morning. They were accompanied
by Jas. McCrackin, Of Spokane, and a
mining expert from California named
Mr.. File. Monday afternoon Messrs.
Getsey, McCrackin and File, accom-
panied by r. A. Jackson left for the
mine in British Columbia, situated
east of Vernon, of which Mr.. Getsey
and Mr.. McCrackin are joint owners.
Extensive development has been car
ried on upon this property during the
past year and every indication points
to its making one of the largest pro-
ducers in that part Of British Colum-
bia in which it is located. The ore
carries high values and an immense
quantity of ore has been already ex-
posed. The party that left here will
meet other mining men and investors
at the mine, and If those gentlemen
are favorably impressed with the
showing extensive work will be inau-
gurated that will speedily place the
property in the producing class.

VISIT FROM NOTED JOURNALIST,

Col. w. w. Robinson, owner and
publisher and editor of the Yakima
Evening Republic and Morning Herald
stopped over in Oroville Sunday night
while on trip through OkanOgan
county in company with G. w. Harris,
state game warden. Col. Robinson is
among the oldest, best known and
brightest newspaper men and journal
lists in the state. He is a militant
wielder Of the pen and his editorials
are more widely copied than those Of
any other daily papers of Washing
ton. Not only has he built up two
powerful newspapers, but he has
done more, he has made financial
success in the newspaper field. Start
ing in the publishing game at Yakima
some thirty years ago he has grown
up with the city, which has become
one Of the most prosperous in the
state, and is rapidly gaining a place
in a class with Seattle, Spokane and
Tacoma cities of which 1t will become
rival in years to come. His publi-
cations have, kept pace with the city
in which they are published and would
be a credit to town many times lar
ger than Yakima.

OWNERS OF LAND
BACK CAMPAIGN
Financial support Pledged Towards
Continuing Advertisement of Dis.
trict in Wenatchee World.

Endorsement of and financial sup
port for the continuance of the adver-
tising campaign in Wenatchee that
has been carried on since early spring
were pledged by land owners at q
meeting held in the Civic League
building Wednesday evening.
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose of determining upon a continu-
ance of the campaign and to make
more definite plans for the breaking
up Of the larger holdings in the val
ley into smaller tracts with more
growers and their families located
here.
L. T. Miner told of the value of ad-
vertising as he has learned from his
personal experience and he particu-
larly emphasized the necessity of resi-
dents here adopting an attitude In
conversation with and before visitors
of optimism based on the favorable
conditions that actually exist In this
locality. He compared the situation
here with conditions in the Wenatchee
valley 20 years ago as he knew that
valley then and declared that this dis
trict is 100 per cent better off In
schools, roads, development and the
knowledge OF what is possible here
today than Wenatchee was when he
first saw that country. With this ad-
vantage, he declared, there is every
reason for optimism.
Ernest Riste, secretary of the West
Okanogan Valley Irrigation district,
talked of the urgent necessity of
breaking up many Of the larger hold
ings in the district into smaller tracts
and selling them to new settlers in
view of the fact that one-fourth Of all
the lands is in the hands Of Is peo-
pie. He pointed out the benefits to ac-
crue from such a course in the way
Of strengthening it's financial status,
particularly in the matter of refunding
the district indebtedness on a more
favorable basis.
Frank M. Dallam, Jr., told Of what
has been done to date in advertising
the district by Tonasket and recently
at the expense of the district and
plans for carrying forward the cam
paign.
Most of the land owners present
declared in favor of continuing the
advertising and the following pledged
financial support and their services
in getting others to give funds:

navy at Seattle for term of four
years. Although only 18 years OF age
he is one Of the most perfect speci-
mems Of physical manhood who has
Joined the navy in the west for long
time. He passed the severe medical
examination with rating Of 100 per

sent to the U. s., naval training sta

taken up electrical engineering. He
made the trip from Seattle to San

though the youngest he was put in

months of service in the navy are the
hardest and most trying that young
recruit passes through, they need
cheering up and encouragement, and
nothing helps them out more than
cheerful and newsy letters from home.

HANDLING A TOUGH CUSTOMER.

Depty Sheriff McCauley was in
town Monday from OkanOgan In the
line of duty. He informed a reporter
, that he had very exciting seance
with whale of a double fisted In
dian during the 4th of July celebra-
tion at the county seat. 1t seems i'm
possible to plug the leaks through
which fire water flows into the coun-
ty from across the British Columbia
line, and by some miracle a sufficient
quantity of the stuff that makes fools
of those who consume it filtered past
the parched crowd at Oroville, that
was tapping up everything in the al
coholic line obtainable, and reached
OkanOgan. This particular Indian,
among others, obtained quantity of
the red mans curse and started out
on a massacreing excursion, doing
great bodily injury to one Of his color
and kind Mr.. McCauley. in his Off
cial capacity, was called upon to
preach the gospel of peace to the way
ward son of the soil, and that son of
the soil proved to be an intractable
convert. Indeed war was troubling his
mind and Mac had tough time in
ducing the warrior to sign an armis-
tice. The officer had to resort to force,
and it was an argument that the In
dian refused to understand. McCauley
carries a pepsuader in the shape Of
slung shot, and as rule 1t Is very
effective in convincing obstreperOus
individuals that resistance is rocky
road to travel. But it had no more ef-
feet upon this whisky crazed aborig-
inc than a pea shooter. Mac wallop-
ed him over the pate time and again,
and Mac is no, infant at administering
wallops, yet it did not seem to phase
Mr.. Indian. Possessing considerable
bulldog tenacity Nc did not give up
the job, and after working himself
into a pretty healthy glow he man
aged finally to hypnotic his prisoner
with a sledge hammer and got him to
Jail. Mac has had some ugly customers
to handle during his service as dep
uty sheriff, but this red man was
harder to put to sleep than any one
whom he has been called upon to
practice somnipathy

CLEANING UP OLD SCORES.

Several committees have been busy
interviewing citizens this week touch
ing them for funds for the purpose Of
cleaning up the Indebtedness contract
ed by the Commercial Club, the short
age resulting from the Legion 4th Of
July celebration and to raise money
to carry on the advertising campaign
that has been launched by the district
for the purpose of laying before the
public the advantages Of the north
Okanogan valley for the home seeker.
A job Of this kind is thankless
task, and those so engaged must ex-
pect rebuffs, and are rarely disap-
pointed. However, 1t must be said in
praise Of the public spirit Of our cit
liens, that on this occasion, notwith-
standing the hard times, the responses
have been prompt and liberal in al
most every instant. When the money
is raised the old debts of the club
that have been reproach to the Or
ganization, will be cleaned up, and 1t
can be positively stated that in the
future the Commercial Club will
never again contract debt. If there
is any expense to be met in the future
the cash must be on hand. The club
has adopted the principle of pay as
you go.
