CORN COMING ON LATE.

NJ M. Collins has had freak growth
Of corn on his ranch on Ellemeham
mountain this year. He planted several
acres in corn. Some of the seed came
up and flOurished like Jonah's gourd,
making a growth that would compare
favorably with the best corn land of
the Mississippi valley, where corn is
king. But the corn crop was spotted,
for not twenty feet from the giant
stocks corn planted under the same
conditions did not come up at all until
after the late rains. Buried in the
ground the corn did not lose its fecun-
dity for now that corn is up four and
five inches high and is growing Wig
orously. However, it will not make
either corn or fodder. terminating too
late in the season, for in few days
frost will come loafing along and nip
it in its infancy. Mr.. Collins also re-
ports that considerable wheat sown
last May is now up several inches and
will make heavy crop next year pro-
viding 1t is not winter killed.

BUYING APPLES FOR THE EAST.

Geo. Ray. our resident apple buyer.
has been moving around the country
pretty actively since the apple com.
menced getting in shape to go on the
market. Last week he purchased some
ten car loads Of caoicely packed ap-
pies from large orchard at Chelan
which he has shipped to points west
OF the Mississippi. where the market
is not congested. Mr.. Ray is not only
careful buyer but he is a shrewd
student OF the market and when he
does invest he has place to put the
fruit in watch he invests to the very
best advantage. II he did not have
this faculty Of spying out the right
markets. and getting the right goods
to place in those markets, he would
speedily go fluey. as so many buyers
have hit the rocks during the last
year. Growers often lose, but then
the buyer does not always have a rosy
road to travel.

MAYOR OF WENATCHEE TOURS.

Clifford Chase, mayor of Wenatchee,
was in Oroville for day or two the
latter part of last week. Mr.. Chase is
not a stranger to the older residents
of Okanogan county, as in former days
he was a resident of Brewster, con-
nected with the management OF the
steamboat transportation company,
upon which this county then depend
ed, and which was about as satisfac-
tory service, with the aid OF freight
teams, that We are now getting
through the medium of a railroad.
Usually one connects mayorship of
so large and progressive a city as
Wenatchee with a man of mature
years, but Mr.. Chase is still a compare
tive young man. But age has no mo-
nopoly on executive ability and all
around fitness for positions of tlis
character as Mr.. Chase has demon
strated during his term of office, and
with more young men with forward
vision at the head of public affairs it
would probably be far better for the
country generally.

FULL PRIMARY ELECTION VOTE,

Considerable space is given to a
tabulated report Of the results of the
primary election in the issue of this
week. The table is made up from the
official vote, and its publication is
made possible through the kindness OF
Editor Woody OF the Okanogan Inde-
pendent. True, the table is no basis
from which can be calculated the vote
or result of the general election in
November, simply because not half
of the votes In the county were cast
in the primary election. and moreover.
the vote does not give any idea of the
political complexion OF the county, as
party lines were not adhered to by
many who did vote at the primary.
Still, the table cannot fail but to be
interesting to the reader wno takes
any interest in politics, and it will be
handy to keep as reference and to
compare with future primary cleo
tions.

SHOULD. BE GROWN EXTENSIVELY

j. T. McGinty has the thanks of this
office for a liberal supply of grapes,
and as fine grapes as are grown any,
where. Those who have engaged in
grape growing in the valley have
made marked success in producing
high quality of this fruit of the vine
and 1t is believed that grape growing
can be made very profitable in
dustry We are informed that Mr.. Geo.
Ray, who has engaged extensively in
the purchase of California grapes for
the eastern market, that the grape in
dustry of that state is far more profit
able nowadays than it was before the
Volstead law went into effect. 1t will
be distinctly remembered that a great
wall went up from California when
the country decided to 60 on the water
wagon. 1t was claimed that prohibition
would ruin the chief industry of that
state. A vast amount of maudling SYM
pathy was expressed for the California
grower who could not utilize his
grapes for the making Of wine. Cut
out wine and the growers would all
go to the poor house. What has been
the result Of the prohibition law?
Why growers have received and are
still receiving the highest prices ever
paid for grapes and are becoming
enormously rich. Mr.. Ray states that
the culls, that formerly could not be
sold for table use, nor made into rails
ins, but could be made into wine, sold
for from $4 to Sc per ton. Now those
same grapes command price of $50
per ton and upwards. The prohibition
law proved to be blessing in disguise
to the grape growers of California.
And if grape growing is so profitable
in the south there seems no good reas-
on why 1t should not be equally as
profitable in the north, OF, at least this
part of the north where the climatic
conditions are favorable for raising
perfect grapes.

GIVING COUNCIL
GOOD ADVICE
State Inspector Of Municipalities
Talks to Town Officials at Infor.
NAL Meeting.

j.. d. Bassett, state inspector of mu-
inequalities, appeared before an In
formal meeting of the town council
Wednesday evening and gave those
gentlemen an insight into the condi-
tion Of municipal affairs which he is
doubtful if any Of tle members fully
realized. Moreover he gave the council
much valuable advise and informa-
tion which will be followed to the fl
nancial betterment Of the town.
Mr.. Bassett is constantly on the go
examining into municipal affairs of
some so incorporated towns within his
Jurisdiction. He is familiar with ev-
cry phase Of law bearing upon muni-
cipalities, as he naturally should be,
and is not only able but willing to
point out ways and means by which
town authorities can improve their
financial condition and places where
mistakes have been made and can be
avoided.
He gave the mayor and council ex-
cellent advice regarding the warrant
and bonded indebtedness Of Oroville,
and urged the strictest economy SO
that this Indebtedness could be cared
for and cash basis reached.
Mr.. Bassett covers many features of
municipal government but the most
interesting one was the Information
given relative to the water service. 1t
is too bad that those who have protest
ed over the Oroville water rates could
not have heard him. Mr.. Bassett stated
that our minimum water rates for the
quantity of water allowed was the
lowest of any of the 81 towns that he
examines in eastern Washington. No
other town allows $500 gallons of
water for 1,50 per month. The amount
Of water allowed in other places for
that amount Of money ranges from
$500 to 5000 gallons, and he advised
that the amount of water be reduced
or the charge increased.
It may be added that at the council
meeting next Monday evening the
budget OF expenses will be revised and
the tax levied. All tax payers are in
vited to be present at the meeting and
express themselves upon the subject
of taxation and expenses II they so de-
sire

MOVED TO DAVENPORT.

c. e. Steuart, who has been living
in Oroville for the past year, left with
his family Monday by auto for Daven-
port, where he expects to make his
future home. MIR. Stuart traded prop
erty in Oroville for handsome seven
room residence at Davenport, and felt
that Davenport being near Spokane,
would be more attractive place Just
at present than this upper country.
Although moving hence Mr.. Stuart
still has confidence in the future Of
Oroville and believes within the next
few years it will be the boom town
of north central Washington. Daven-
port gains mighty desirable family
at the expense of Oroville when Mr..
and Mrs. Stuart settles in that city.

PREPARING FOR
THE CAMPAIGN
Republican County Central Committee
Meets at Okanogan and Completes
Organization.

The republican county central CON-
mittee met for organization at Okla
hogan Saturday. Those present" did
not figure large in number, but when
two or three are gathered together in
the name of republican, there is gen.
orally love feast, and the meeting, il
small In numbers, was sufficiently en-
thusiastic to indicate tnat the repub-
licans Of the county are awake and
will use every honorable method to
carry on this fall and carry over the
entire ticket from top to bottom. There
Is no necessity Of this paper repeating
the story so well told blythe Okanogan
Independent, so the proceedings are
crimped from that papersas follows:
r. L. Wright of Omak was on Satur-
Iday elected chairman Of the republican
county central committee at tle meet
ing Of the newly elected precinct COM
mitteemen. Tully H. Hays of Okla
hogan was elected secretary and G. b.
Avery OF Nelson was again named as
state committeeman.
Prior to the offerings Of nomina-
tions, an informal discussion was
held by the committeeman and can
didates present at the meeting and
the selection of Mr.. Wright, a resi-
dent Of the largest republican COM
munity in the county, met with gen.
eral approval and his selection was
unanimous. Mr. Wright is former
county commissioner and prominent
business man of Omak and consented
10 assume the duties that would fall
to him as head of the party organiza-
ton in tne county.
Frank NJ Dallam of Oroville pro-
posed that Mrs. j. w. Forsyth be
elected chairman to give fitting repre>
sentation to the women voters, but
Mrs. Forsyth declined the honor, pre-
ferring to gain political experience as
a precinct committeewoman Mrs. For
syth presided at the meeting. M. E.
Tonseth sat as secretary
Judge w G. Brown. candidate for
representative; Chas A. Johnson,
candidate for prosecuting attorney
and M. e. Tonseth, nominee for clerk,
spoke concerning the relations Of can
didates and the party organization.
Confidence in the success on elec-
ton day of the entire republican
ticket was expressed by number Of
those present. Tie fact that the demo-
Gratis named almost full county tick
ct was commented upon as feature
that would insure a heavy vote and
widespread interest.

dry as powder and tle yield of grain
this year is the shortest that he has
