PROSPERITY HITS OMAK.

The smile of fortune is resting on
the town of Omak and bright are the
prospects tnat encompass the place
round about. Every indication points
TO Omak becoming one Of the most
important towns in north central
Washington, and the boom that hit 1t
this summer promises to continue and
Increase during the next few years.
Fortunate In being situated in the
midst of a large irrigation district
where the orchards are reaching their
full fruitage there is substantial
basis in that one resource alone to
support q large community, but the
future, or at least the future for tle
next few years, does not rest wholly
upon the output of the orchard lands.
Recently an enterprise has developed
that will have greater contriputory
Influence upon the growth OF Omak.

combination of resources that have
heretofore been depended upon for
town building. That Is the big lumber
industry that is soon to be In active
operation. month ago the Biles-
Coleman Lumber company purchased
from the government 500,00O.000 feet
Of standing timber located some rs
miles east of Omak. In order that this
immense amount Of timber can be
brought to the railroad at Omak.
where an immense saw mill Is to be
erected and operated. 1t is necessary
for the company to build private
railroad to the source of the timber
supply. Engineers are in the field at
:he present time spying out route
for that railroad and according to the
Omak Chronicle practical route
has already been established and the
work of construction will commence
next spring and will be completed
next year.
This means that it will be another
Fear before actual operations OF cut
ing lumber will be in full blast, but
Che work OF constructing the road
will give employment to large force
If men, and naturally that will create
large pay roll that will be distribut-
I'D among the business houses at
)mak After the road is completed and
he mill is in operation that important
industry will give steady employment
FOR number of years to large crew
md that crew will help to swell the
population of the town. Tie establish
nent of this great plant will naturally
attract other industries, and every in
lustry so established contributes to

Oh yes; Omak is on the primrose
path of prosperity and If no unexpect-

pare the old Gainesville unit that left
here in September, 1917. These boys
went to Camp Wheeler, almost raw
recruits, slept on the ground with one
blanket at night, built their camp in

the hospital sick and helped pitch a
hospital tent before they could be
taken care of. Have you heard of any
