WORTHY OF CONSIDERATION.

While in Spokane Elton G. Rice had
an opportunity to examine a dehydrat-
ing machine which presents possibil-
tiles that should appeal to growers
in this valley. The principle of dehy-
drafting is somewhat similar to dry
ing plant, and yet different. The drying
plant preserves fruits and vegetables
treated by that system, and puts them
in shape that makes the product val
liable commercially. The dehydrating
plant goes still further than the dryer,
as it extracts all the moisture from the
raw material treated, leaving it in a
solid form. many times reduced from
its former size. 1t is claimed that when
this dehydrated material is placed in
water it not only regains its original
color, but also the original flavor, and
that so pronounced that the consumer
cannot tell the difference between the
rehydrated and the fresh fruit and veg
cable. If this be true then it would be
a wise move to introduce a few of
these plants in this valley. MIR. Rice
was very favorably Impressed with the
machine that turns out the goods and
the goods that were turned out and we
would not be surprised if he installed
a small plant as an experiment next
year. And if it proves to be what is
claimed for it it is certain that other
plants will be installed, for there is
plenty of raw material here to be
worked over.

NOT A SOFT JOB.

There are few of the smaller post
offices in the state where there Is
more work thrown upon the postoffice
force than in Oroville. For one thing
this is owing to the time of the arriv-
al and departure Of the trains. All
trains leave Oroville outward bound
earlv in the morning. and during the
abort DAYS this is very early. Theh
this is the terminal point FOR TWO
lines of passenger traffic and mails
must be made up for neighoorins
postoffices at this place. The sou'h
incoming train gets here ahywnere
from 9.45 to morning and the passen'
ger train over the Marcus division Is
due at 7:45 in the evening, SO tna'
motes II extremely awkward for the
,.ndling of the incoming mails. Wheh'
over the train from Marcus running
three times a week, arrives anywhere
naor on time the overworked post OF
f;ce force distributes the incoming

APPRAISING COMMITTEE.

2. T. Haskell, of Wenatchee, A. J.
lley Of Boise, Idaho, and Calvin Cas-
q Of Okanogan, were in Oroville last
4ylday and Saturday in company with
9: Stevens drove over the West Oka-
nogan Valley Irrigation district. The
t1ree gentlemen first named constitut-
Z II an arbitration committee selected
l@ the purpose of appraising the value
& the old irrigation system that orig
hAlly had for its object the watering

which was suspended wnen the bitches

HE pipe line, fumes and bitches al
ready constructed and which, II the
valuation when adjusted is considered
Reasonable, will be taken over by the
state and used in conjunction with the
system that is to be installed for the
reclamation of Whitestone Flat lands.
Tne committee selected was made up
4 q men familiar with engineering and
Irrigation systems, men who will be
fair, just and impartial in reaching a
dscision, and it is safe to say that their
findings will be accepted by the state.
When that preliminary is finished It
can be expected that the work OF ex-
tending the present system will COM
mence at an early day, and 1t can be
promised that water can be conveyed
Apon the land during 1923.

NUMBER MONDAY NIGHT

The second number of the brief Lv-
ceum course that Oroville has siened
up for is dated for next Monday even
ing' the place the Liberty theater. It
Is generally understood that the
school, backed by the Commercial
OiuD, that moribund organization
winch like tae phoenix may yet arise
from Its ashes, signed up for lyceum
series OF entertainments during the
iali. the series confined to three num-
per. owing to the itinerary already
iald out 1t was necessary to accent
these entertaining visitations as thew
could be billed and two of them but
ted In close together The first was
staged last Friday night, and it may
be parenthetically added at thsi place
that If the next two will compare
WITH the first number then the public
Is paying low price for high class
performances. The second chases
down upon the heels of the first and
VIII take place in the Liberty theater
next Monday evening. The third will
not drift along until in January.
The entertainment for next Monday
evening is in the nature of "violin-
vocale". That is new one according
to announcement, but the promise is
held out that the new stunt is an i'm
provement on the old plain violin
concert. If it is, then it will be well
worth hearing. The company is made
up of five lady performers. each of
them an artist in the role she as
sumes. Musical entertainments are
always drawing card in Oroville.
The medley of sweet sounds soaks in
without any strain on ones mentality,
and that appeals to the writer, as it
does to many others, when verbal
symposium would shoot over our
head. Hence 1t is safe prediction
that the theater will be crowded Mon
day night. If it is not it certainly
ought te.be, for the young lady per-
formers on this occasion will supply
program that will be we'll worth
while.

ON A LONG HIKE.

Saturday this office lad call from
Sam Diamond. Samuel is typical
back street New Yorker. He claims to
be only ninenteen years of age and yet
an ex-service man, having served for
year in the United States army. Prob
ably his service covers period since
the great war, otherwise in ages to
come he will rightly hold out claim
of having been he youngest soldier to
serve In the American army during
the World War, and should that claim
be disputed, as the claim of the young
est soldier in tle civil war ragged so
long and often, he will be responsible
live to green old age. However, pass
ing that question up to be settled in
the future it may be added that Mr..
Diamond Is hiking nut. The country
is full of men and women engaged in
alleged long pedestrian tours, with the
object Of Governing distance from hell
to breakfast, and beyond, and Mr..
Diamond is engaged in that happy un-
dertaking at the present time, or was,
when ne occupied the scenery around
Oroville. His stunt is foot tour from
New York to Mexico, via Canada. He
was suddenly taken with the wander
lust last April and selecting route,
and the longest one that could be laid
out, turned his face westward and hit
the grit. He figures that he can make
the grand rounds in 1S months. His
card, from the proceeds obtained by
the sale thereof he manages to keep
his tummy from humping his back
bone. says that he has travelled 5000
miles when he had reached Calgary,
which would indicate that the lad had
hoofed it over a large part of the Brit
ish possessions lying north OF the
49th parallel before reaching Calgary
His possessions were no temptation to
the rovers of the road, as he had but
so cents when he left New York, and
that sum has been reduced to 20 cents
'by the time he reached Calgary. The
lad must be given credit for an abund-
ance of nerve to undertake such a
tourney. and he looks as though he
would carry out his contract. Indeed,
il we were a betting man we would
lay odds that Mr.. Diamond, who Is a
pretty bright young man as his name
would indicate, will cover the entire
distance that he set out to cover when
he shook the dust of New York off his
feet. We cheered him on with a chunk
of the filthy and when last seen he was
pushing his face northward, flying
light. as he carried only small KNAPP
sack.

MRS. PRESTON OPPOSES SOLO.

Mrs. Josephine Corliss Preston,
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton, has issued full and comprehen-
sive resume of the proposed 3O-10
measure, pointing out its fallacies, its
failure to accomplish what its propon-
ents claim for it, and proving conclu-
sively that 1t Is vicious measure,
with one underlying object, that OF In
creasing salaries without benefit to
the poor districts that it is alleged
that the measure will benefit. Mrs.
Preston's circular Is an exhaustive
discussion OF the merits and demerits
of the measure from the standpoint
of one engaged in educational work
and who has the best interests of the
children and our educational system
at heart. Her arguments are unans-
werable. We wonder il A. l.. Marsh,
secretary of the Washington Educa-
tional Association, bigOted defender
OF the measure who evidently claims
to monopolize all the brains In the
state. will class Mrs. Preston as an
opponent OF the bill as among the
.'selfish. ignorant and group OF poll
ticians," whom he charged In an ad-
dress before the teachers institute at
Okanogan as constituting the only op-
ponents to the measure.
Mrs. Preston sums up her exhaust
i've findings in her opposition to the
1910 measure in the following state
ment:
Initiative measure No. 46 would
require all taxpayers to pay more
money for the support OF the schoois
and tnis additional money would De
distributed to districts that even now
do not need 1t and at the same time
would not provide sufficient additional
money to ensure satisfactory school
conditions in the more needy dis-
tricts."

DANCING CLUB ORGANIZED

Several of the ladies of Oroviiie
have organized dancing club, and
plan to give a series of seven dances
IN the Civic League building. The orig
nal purpose of the ladies was tn inr-

months, but to this purpose was added
the desire to help the library. 1t was
decided, therefore, that all proceeds
over and above actual expenses should
Be devoted to the Civic League Library
FUND. 1t is to be clearly understood
tnat this dancing club is not under
the auspices of the Civic League, or
any committee of that organization.
