GRIEGER REGRETS DROUGHT.

R. Grieger of San Francisco. who
was a resident Of Oroville for mum
ber Of years and who still has warm
spot in his heart for this north coun-
try, writes under a recent date: "In
reading the Gazette of June 7, in which
you speak of an additional crop fail
ure for the Okanogan country as well
as all Eastern Washington, to me 1t
seems an almost unbleaveable calam-
ity. The depression of 1928, when
wheat was sold at % cents bushel,
is in the writer's mind, and which
you know as we'll as l do, but crop
failures seem to be a good deal worse.
The Waterville farmers were at that
time entirely in the hands of the
banks, as well as those of the Big
Bend country, but there were no crop
failures those years as far as I re-
member. 1t is mighty lucky for Oro-
vile that it has the irrigation system.
A lengthy letter from Fred Retzer Of
Seattle. formerly of Loomis, gave me
quite bit of news, but like myself,
he cannot forget the Okanogan, where
so many of us put in the best years
of our lives in building up commun-
tiles with such deplorable results"

INTERESTED IN METOR,

The latter part of last week P. Dick
son, his son, E. G. Dickson, and F.
Jaques, prominent and extensive fruit
growers of Vernon, B. c., passed
through town on their way to Seattle.
Mr.. Dickson was interested in know
ing what had become of the meteor that
the Gazette reported as having passed
over the Similkameen valley, and to
all appearances landed in the noun
tains of this vicinity. He stated that he
observed the same meteor pass over his
ranch the same night that it was sup
posed to have ended its flight near
Oroville. 1t looked like great ball of
fire. Shortly afterwards an acquaint-
ance gave him copy of the Gazette
containing an item in reference to this
meteor, in which 1t was stated that Jas.
Ellis, miner, who had been startled
by the heavenly stranger lighting up
the surrounding country as it passed
over his shack, had fastened down the
river to Oroville expecting to find the
town wiped out of existence as to him
it appeared that the meteor bad landed
right in town. Mr.. Dickson seemed dis
appointed that the miner had not
struck out and discovered Just where
the meteor did land

FORMER LOOMS BOY MARRIED.

Word has been received by relatives
Of the young gentleman in this place
that Earl Harkin was recently married
to young lady from Boise, Idaho, at
San Francisco Earl Harkin is bother
of Mrs. Herbert Gregg and Mrs. J. L.
Masters. He grew up from childhood
at Loomis, but many years ago struck
out into the wide, e,w.ide world on his
own hook. According to his humorous
account Of his experiences in hunting
work Earl Travelled very rocky road
for long months before he finally Sc
cured foothold in San Francisco, and
there he made good. In the days when
that vehicle of information, the Palmer
Mountain Prospector, predicted Loo
mis- was going to make second Butte
in abont every issue, prediction that
fell somewhat short Of anticipation,
Earl broke into the printing trade in
the humble capacity of "devil". The
young man was absolutely trust
worthy, upright, clean and Industrious
and we felt certain that in time he
would become thorough at any branch
of the trade he should select to perfect
himself in. He elected to become a
pressman and he became proficient in
that line. He has been able to purchase
an interest in a large job plant in San
Francisco and is doing we'll. 1t should
be added in this connection that Mr..
Harkin was no shirker when the coun-
try entered the world war. He rallied
to the colors md saw active service
in France. He was with the boys who
stayed the German advance at Cha
teau Thierry, and was there wounded.
Returning from France he went to
work at once with the result that he Is
probably firmly established for life.
Those still living in LOomis who knew
Mr.. Harkin as a. boy will be pleased to
read Of his business success and Will
extend sincere congratulations upon
his entering into the happy bonds OF
matrimony.

SATISFIED WITH HOME OUTLOOK

Judgment upon agricultural conditions 9
IN that part of the state over which be
.raveied. According to his report the
irrigation districts are in a healthy
and flourishing condition on the who,o
lhere VIII be fair yield of grain
around Walla Walla. The crop in the
paiouse country will be lighter than n
mas been for years. So far as he could
see along the road he passed over in
the Big Bend the crops are nil. He re-
turned here better satisfied with the
prospects under the West Okanogan
valley irrigation system than ever
before. So far as he could see there 10
no better land for fruit growing in
eastern Washington than right here in
the northern part of Okanogan county
and nowhere is there better supply
OF water to draw from. He feels conf
dent that within few years, when all
the land under the local project is in
producing state, this will be one of
the most prosperous parts of the state
and under the impetus of that prosper
ity Oroyille will speedily grow to be
a large and flourishing city.

NEW MAIL ARRANGEMENT.

For time immemorial the railroad
has paid the cost of delivery of the
mails from the railroad to the post
office and from the post office to the
railroad, which had to be done by
motor driven or horse hauled vehicles
but on the first Of the present month
a new order of things was inaugurated
as the post office department took
over the local delivery of all mail be-
tween the offices and the carrier .Amel
Schultz has long held this contract at
stipend of $50 per month. When the
postal department became respon-
sible for the pay the salary was cut to
$40 per month and Mr.. Schultz threw
Iup the job. A. l.. Kitching has been
doing the work since the 1st Of July
while waiting to sign up long time
contract with the government. This
Job consumes hardly more than an
hour per day, six days in the week,
but owing to the time schedule for
running trains mails must be received
aad delivered at an unearthly hour in
the evening and in the morning. 1t is
a soft enough snap during the summer
but a good deal of a hardship during
the short days and rough weather of
the winter.

HOPEFUL STOCKHOLDERS.

A recently published news item
stated that two 10000 gallon wells
have recently come in in the Cat Creek
oil district. This is the district where
the local oil company known as the
Oroville-Okanogan Oil company, has
some very important leases and upon
which well is now being drilled. The
members of the company are very
much elated over the report of this
recent strike, for though there is no
absolute assurance that every well
sunk will strike oil. the holdings of
the company are so favorably situated
that the chances are strongly in its
favor for eventually bringing in the
oily richness. This proposition is not a
wild cat. Local residents are putting
money in the venture. There is no rake
off in the sale of stock so no indi-
vidual or set of individuals are fatten-
ing at the expense Of the public. The
money received from the sale Of stock
goes into actual development.

Tourists check in and out at the To-
cal customs office from all over the
country. The other day there was one
car all the way from New York. Last
week there were cars from Nevada and
Kansas. All of these cars are equipped

lists travel leisurely, seeing all that
there is to see along the route selected.
DR.. E. e. Elmer returned from Spo-

steadily, but it will be some days be-
fore she will be able to return home.

GRASSHOPPER PLAGUE.

Frank Buckingham returned the
latter part Of last week frcm an auto
trip through the lower part of British
Columbia, covering some 500 miles.
The party Of which he was a member
drove through the Nichola valley, that
in times past was considered one Of
the garden spots Of the province Mr..
Buckingham reports that the Nichola
valley is desolation owing to a
plague of grasshoppers. He says the
insects filled the air in great clouds
and had eaten off vegetation until the
land was as bare and barren as the
surface of Main street. Absolutely
nothing was raised in the valley this
year, and he saw many homes that
had been abandoned by their owners
He declares that no one could believe
the destruction worked by the hopper
without seeing that country.

RECOVERING AFTER STROKE.

Mr.. and Mrs. F. j Cummings, of Riv-
erside, were visitors in town Monday.
Some months ago Mr. Cummings suf-
fered a partial paralysis OF his left
side, and while he has not entirely
recovered the use of his left leg and
left forearm, he is SO greatly improved
that he has every reason to believe
that entire restoration of health is a
matter Of only short time. His long
confinement to the house has cut down
his weight to some extent, but in the
main he is looking far better than
could be expected under the circum-
stances. Mr.. Cummings is cheerful un-
der his affliction and hopes that his
former strength may returi. Mr.. and
Mrs. Cummings expect to leave for
Soap Lake this week, where Mr.. Cum
mings will give the waters of the lake
a thorough test.

LOOMS BADLY
SCoRCHED

Word was received here just as we
were going to press that Loomis was
visited by disastrous fire Wednesday
night. 1t was difficult to secure word
over the telephone and the particulars
obtainable were as follows: The fire
broke out in Lon Gadburry's barber
shop, two story building on Main
street, formerly owned by Herbert
Gregg of this place. From this build
ing the flames spread to the small
frame formerly occupied by w. E..
Grant as law office. From there it
jumped to the store of J. M. Richmond.
Fire brands ignited the big Eagle hall
and it was entirely consumed. Anoth-
er small building was burned, and the
heat broke all the glass out of the
store of Forde & Ford Mr.. Richmond
had some $4,000 insurance on building
and contents. The Eagle hall, owned
by the Odd Fellows, carried an insur-
ance of some $4,000. The total loss
will amount to $4,000 or $4,000.

HIT BOTTOM HARD.

Thursday evening last Marshal

number of evil doors would have re-

efficient officer. Mr.. Weldon, while in

of his size, and struck on his FORE
head Mr.. Weldon lost some cuticle
from his dome of thought and was Sc

other inconvenience than constantly
explaining how came the prominent
bruises, and relieving the solicitations
expressed for the other fellow.
