WILL BE CONSIDERABLE WHEAT,

Saturday Joe Robinson drove up 10
his ranch near Nelson, and while there
visited among his neighbors securing
samples. of wheat heads and stocks.
The exhibit that Mr.. Robinson made
would go far toward removing the
prevailing impression that crops are
a total failure on the hills east of
Oroville. 1t is quite evident that a
great many people commenced squeal-
ing before they were hurt and that
there will be far more grain harvest
ed in tne wheat belt of the northeast
ern part Of the county than was ever
dreamed of earlier in the season. The
samples Mr.. Robinson exhibited
showed very heavy heads of both
wheat and oats while the stock was
long and healthy looking. sMr. Robin
son stated that on some fields that
he visited the wheat would run as
high as 40 bushels to the acre and
that 20 and 25 bushels was not up.
common. He is of the opinion that a
larger amount of grain will be har-
vested this year than was harvested
last year. OF course he does not claim
that the same favorable conditions
exists all over the hill, but good crops
are not an exception to the rule. 1t is
the winter wheat that is making the
best showing, althoug some fields of
spring sown grain are going to turn
out well.

FLOODED LIVE STOCK SHOW.

Attention is called to the fact that
the Okanogan County Registered Live
Stock Association is to put on a three
days stock show in conjunction with
the Tonasket celebration that takes
place on September II, IL and Ia, Of
fering very attractive prizes that
should draw out the best stock OF the
county. This will be feature of this
big event that should appeal to the far
mers OF the county not only as an ex-
hbit Of superior cattle but giving an
opportunity to secure blooded animals.
This association is doing a most i'm
portant service to the stockmen and
ranchers of the county, arousing in
terest in better breed of cattle, and
it has already done much to improve
the bred of the herds. The stock slow
promises to be one of the greatest at
fractions Of the forthcoming celebra-
tion.

BELIEVES IN OROVILLE'S FUTURE

This office has had letter from r.
Grieger, formerly Of Oroville and now
pleasantly located at San Francisco,
where he has no fault to find with the
way the world is treating him. Mr..
Grieger has recently received several
rather pessimistic letters from for
mer acquaintances living in Oroville
which causes him to morallze and al
so to give some good advice Though
far away and his relations with the
old town permanently severed, he still
has a kindly feeling for Oroville and
It's people and is firmly of the Opin-
ion that time, wlich sets all things
even, will prove to the world that
those who put faith in Oroville were
wise beyond their generation. He
lauds the location Of Oroville and in
sists that those who stick to the town
are to win their reward, which we
most sincerely believe, and the senti-
ments endorse.

ORCHARDING ON a BIG SCALE.

Monday We had the pleasure ri
meeting Geo. I. Crane, who owns a
very large apple orchard on the east
shore OF the Columbia river between
brewster and Pateros. Back in the
S0s Mr. Crane was business man in
SPOKANE and remained there until
about 1908 when he secured land near
Brewster and set out a small orchard
The next year he purchased land
on the east side of the Columbia river
ana set out 200 acres in apples. He
lrrigates by pumping from the Collm-
bia river, and has four large pumps,
operated by electricity, installed.
Those trees are In full bearing eand
Mr.. Crane expects to harvest $4,000
boxes of apples this season. His place
is completely equipped for economic
production even having a saw mill
where the boxes are manufactured and
there is big saving in that item
alone. He has large warehouses on the
ranch, one at Pateros and is excavat-
ing for another large one on the
ranch. He owns large boat with
which he conveys his appless across
the river to the railroad at Pateros.

ON AGAIN AND OFF AGAIN.

The last issue of the Gazette con-
tanned quite a cheering and extended
notice of the appointment of an assist
ant customs officer at this place to
help out old reliable w. A. CRUDE, SO
long Oh the job, and who would lave
to sit on his spine in the office "a
hours a day to meet the demand put
on him by travellers desiring to check
out and check in. The new official was
Magnus P. Romstead. We put the an
nouncement in the past tense, because
Mr.. Romstead no longer is. The paper
had hardly been issued hot from the
press before a wire arrived transferr-
ing Mr.. Romstead to Ferry, leaving Mr
CRUDE lonely bird perched on tle
old roost. There was nothing said In
the announcement of Mr.. Romstead's
arrival that this paper has any reason
to retract other than what was SAID
about his being here, because he amt.

BIG CELEBRATION AT TONAsKET
With Diversified Program Covering
all Kinds OF Sports.

The town down the river finds that
1t has a wonderfully good reason 10
put on the glad rags of festivity, the
state having joined hands with that
community to put over the Whitestone
irrigation project. With that as start
ing point tae whole town has organiz-
ed itself into huge celebration com
mittee and raised cold cash, deposited
in the two banks Of Tonasket, a large
fund to guarantee the success of what
is claimed to be the best and liyliest
celebration this big county has ever
seen.
Three days. September 12, 13, and
IA. are required for the full program,
which includes all kinds of wild west
sports, an Indian sostumed parade in
which the tribes will compete for
prizes, a boxing match, an agricultural
and industrial fair, poultry show,
and most important of all the annual
exhibition Of the Okanogan County
Registered Live Stock Association
with its hundred head of prize winning
pure bred cattle.
Joy events unnumbered will make
the grand occasion something to look
forward to and to long remember.
Music is provided for the daily pro-
grams by local and imported talent
the Joy Walkers Jazz Orchestra from
Chelan for the dancing and the famous
Wenatchee Elks Band for the concerts
A huge tent will house the principal
exhibits, while the big outdoor dance
pavilion. sheltered from sun and pos
sible showers by an immense canvas
top, will draw the light OF foot and
merry by the thousands.
Tonasket has very luckily fitten in
her celebration dates without conflict
ing with other towns which also cele-
brates this fall. The first day Of the
celebration is also primarily election
day. Start out early; vote your ticket
and keep on coming till you reach To-
nasket When Tonasket celebrates she
does it right. Come and see.

PLAYING TRICKS
ON The BOVINE
Evidence that Music Hath Charms to
More than SOOth the Savage
Breast.

In a'brief front page story in
black type the Wenatchee World of
Saturday tells of some scientist who
had made the wonderful discovery that
under the influence Of jazz music cows
would give greater quantity of milk
than when surrounded by the ordin-
ary barnyard conditions. That sci
enlist is some 30 years late in max
ing the discovery.
On that same Saturday morning
Attorney A. E. Williams was visitor
in the Gazette office and one subject
leading up to another the conversa-
tion drifted to dairying as a profit
able sideline for the farmer and Mr.
Williams gave the experience of his
father, VIM. Williams. who carried
on an extensive dairy at Rochester,
Minn., in the early sos. Mr.. Will
Jams was telling of the number Of
cows that he was expected to milk
when mere lad, and then mentioned
method employed in. speeding up
milking. Mr.. Williams stated that it
was the habit of his father to always
employ several men who were adopts
at whisling to aid in tle milking and
that those men were expected to
whistle lively tunes while engaged in
milking, having discovered that the
men milked much more rapidly and
turned in more milk than When sill
ence reigned while the cows were
being robbed of lacteal fluid. Mr..
Williams was among the first to pur-
chase photograph and installed the
music box in his milking sheds Jazz
music, or alleged music, was not
known then. but Mr.. Williams invest
ed in the livliest records produced as
jigg time seemed to have an influence
upon both cows and men, although at
the time Mr.. Williams was of the
opinion that the music had the effect
of speeding up milking, the mixers
jerking the udders in unison with the
melody.
Deponeth does not state how Mr..
Williams made t1e discovery that he
put in practice to such advantageous
effect, but the fact that music was
used to expedite milking antidates the
discovery of this scientist the World
quotes, and was thought of news val-
ue sufficient to secure front page
space, shows that there is nothing
new under the sun.

w. A. CRUDE received word Monday
that A. D. Beatty had died, August 25,
in hospital at Bellingham. This news
will be a great shock to many acquain-
tances Of the deceased in this part of
the county. Mr.. Beatty filled the posi-
tion of customs officer at Chopaka for
six years. and during that time was a
frequent visitor in Oroville. Mr.. Beat
ty was in failing health when he left
here about year ago. He asked to be
transferred in the hopes that change
of climate might prove beneficial and
was sent to Friendly Harbor, on the
coast. A quiet, amiable. intelligent
gentleman was Mr.. Beatty, strictly
honorable and conscientious in the
performance of his duties and the SER
vice loses valuable attacaee in his
death.
