SALES IN
VALLEY ACTIVE
Deals More Numerous this Spring
than Ever-Old Residents are
Re'investing Here.

Land in the valley is selling more
actively at this time than ever hereto
fore, and not the least encouraging
phase of this movement is the fact
that among the purchasers are men
who have owned land here before, who
have sold their previous holdings and
are re-investing their newly acquired
capital in the valley. This is the most
convincing evidence that the lands to
be had here are attractive to those
who best know the conditions and
what may be expected in the way Of
production.
One of these deals was made Mon
day when II. w. Thompson, who sold
his place on Britain Flats two months
ago, bought fifteen acres OF valley
land ON the west side of the Okanogan
river south of Tonasket.
Saturday. Mace l.. Reed, Sr., station
agent here for the Great Northern
railway. bought five acres of orchard
from Mrs. Helen Lavallee. This tract
is located on the west side of the Okla
hogan river about three miles south
of OrOville. The trees are four years
old, and the place is otherwise i'm
proved with good house.
Another deal made Saturday, was
the purchase of ten acres three miles
south of OrOville on the east side of
the river by H. b. Lansing of We
natchee. Mr.. Lansing bought the place
for home. He will plant fit to fruit
trees this spring and plans to move
on 1t next year.

YOUNG TOWN HAS
AN OLD LANDMARK
Hotel Building Shipped from New
Westminster, Where II Stood for
u Number OF Years.

Young as the town of Oliver is, it
has landmark in one of it's pricipal
buildings, the Hotel Oliver, which Pc
culiarity typifies the spirit of enter
prise that is responsible for the over
night building of d town at that point.
The story of how this hotel building
was transported in sections from New
Westminster, b. c., by rail and truck
20 Oliver and re-erected there was told
IN the Gazette several weeks ago in an
article reprinted from the PentictOn
Herald. But the story OF how II. L.
r'airweather, proprietor of the hotel,
came to select Oliver for location is
also of interest. Last week, Mr.. Fair
weather recounted the course of
events in his experiences that determ-
med him to remove his building to
Oliver in a conversation with rep
story is as follows:
In 1899 he went to Dawson. He spent
three summers and two winters tray-
cling over a large part of Alaska.
There, he not only qualified as Sour
dough, but he became interested in
mining and kept informed of mining
development generally. Later in 1902
he visited the Okanagan valley, as it
is spelled to the north of us, riding
horseback from Hedley to Midway
md noting the mining activity
throughout that section. He was par
ticularly struck with the wide valley
and the section where Oliver now
stands. He considered it the best that
he had seen in his travels in climate
and natural resources. He visited the
old mining camp of Fairview on the
trip and was impressed by the pros
poets there. Later, he located at New
Westminster and conducted hotel
there for twelve years. Finally, he
says, the combination of prohibition
and the influx of Orientals made his
business Improbable and he closed
he hotel. He decided to follow some
Of the old trails he had travelled and
when he saw Oliver again, remember
ing the old Fairview mining camp,
hearing the reports of renewed activ-
ity in prospect there and seeing the
big development in irrigation in the
valley. he decided that Oliver was the
place for him. So he returned to New
Westminster, tore down his hotel
building. shipped it and reerected it on
its present site.

Southern Okanagan Valley and Oliver, B. c.
GUGGENHEIMSMAY
WORK BIG FORCE
Reported they Have Exercised Option
at Fairview and will Employ
Three Hundred Men.

While the building of $4,000 acre
irrigation project has given the first
mpetus to the rapid growth of Oliver,
B. c.. and while the cultivation of the
ands within that project give assur-
lnce of continued and increasing pros
perity for the Oliver district, another
'esource may bring even greater i'm
mediate returns and add materially
20 the activity of that town and COM
munity. This other resource is min
ing in the old Fairview camp.
1t has been known for some time
that the Guggenheims have been pros
pecting the ore bodies in the Fairview
district with diamond drills. 1t is now
reported, on what is considered reli-
able authority, that the results of the
drilling last year proved highly satis-
factory and that the great Guggenheim
interests have taken up their option
to purchase the properties that they
have been exploring.
This same authority is responsible
Tor the further report that fully 800
ihtu Will NC WOi hiHS III the iiluCS at
Fairview by fall.
Negotiations are now being con-
Quoted for obtaining electric power for
use in developing the propeties in
which the Guggenheims are interested,
it is said.
The diamond drilling operations at
Fairview have been carried on by the
Boyles Brothers of Spokane, one of
the five biggest dimond drilling con-
Germs in the country. Tuesday the drill
outfit was checked through the GUS
toms office here. The operations hav-
ng been completed at Fairview, the
outfit is being shipped to Wallace,
idaho, where the Boyles Brothers have
, contract for exploration. Dan Lynch,
Who has had charge of the drilling at
rairview accompanied the drill outfit
o this place Tuesday, returning to
'enticton Tuesday afternoon and will
later go on to Spokane.

TONASkET GROWERS JOIN.

At second meeting called by the
Grange members at Tonasket Monday
evening for the purpose Of considering
the proposition Of entering the Okla
hogan Valley Growers Cooperative as
sociation, and at which N. J. Emory,
manager, and W. b. SeXsOn, treasurer.
of the association, were present on in
vitation. decision of the growers pres
ent was made to withdraw their con-
tracts with the grange warehouse or
ganization and sign up with the new
association. About ten growers at the
meeting signed those contracts, and it
is expected that the others who had
contracted with the grange there will
do likewise.

CUMMINGS STORE
Pioneer Merchant mt Riverside Loses
Building and entire Stock of
Goods.

Fire, discovered about / O'Clock
Wednesday morning, completely de-
stroyed F. j. QPard) Cummings store
at Riverside. The building was burned
to the ground and the entire stock
was lost.
The barking of dog at the Cum
mings home awoke Mrs. Cummings,
shortly after midnight. She went to a
window to investigate, and saw the
glare from the direction of the store
She gave the alarm, but by the time
the first persons reached the scene
of the fire. the. flames were envelop-
ing the building. There was no means
at hand for fighting fire and nothing
could be done to stay it's progress. 1t
was impossible. also, to enter the
building and remove any of the con-
tents.
Report of the loss was brought to
Oroville Wednesday by Deputy Sher-
ff Bernard McCauley.
No estimate of the amount of the
loss could be obtained before going
to press. Mr.. Cummings carried in
surance, it is reported.

Big Irrigation Project Is Booming New
B. c. District to the North of Oroville
oliver BECOMES
| TOWN OVERNIGHT
lOt q Building on Site IL Year Ago,
Today Business Is Humming and
Growth Continues,

One year ago Oliver was nothing
ut a tOwnsite; six months ago but a
Hustler of three or four small frame
Buildings. Today, it is fourishing,
prosperous, growing town with a
ranch of the Canadian Bank of Com
herce. board of trade, two two room
chool buildings, both inadequate al
eady for the needs of the place, three
eneral merchandise stores, one hotel,
hree restaurants, one hardware store,
ne implement house, a lumber yard,
cement block plant, two garages. a
hkery, two confectionery stores, a
fationery store. two. meat markets,
we tobacco shops, an electrician with
ectric supplies, apartments and Of
ces and provincial police. Besides
be business establishments already
perating there are buildings under
obstruction to house drug store, a
kstaurant, harness store, a furni-
ire store, and two more general mer-
handise stores are coming there.
The town huns with activity and
e noise of building. The main street
Oliver is formed by transconti-
ental highway that is now being
Faded and improved through the
wnsite and out into the even more
pidly developing farming commun-
to the south.
The Kettle Valley railroad, building
buth from Penticton will be operating
tains into Oliver and south of that
bwn as far as the government ex-
eriment farm by August Is. This is
haranteed. The railroad grade has
)ready been" constructed and rails
re being laid in the direction of Oil
Ter at this time.
A number of residences are under
construction. Many families are living
here in more or less temporary shell
ers, and establishing themselves as
permanent residents. The West Koot
enay Development company has elec-
ric power wires strung 20 the town
Ind lighting system will soon be in
btalled. A splendid water system is al
ready provided.
This mushroom growth is not due
merely to the western boom spirit.
There is reason for the existence of
OLIVER and justification for the build
ling of town of some Importance
there. 1t is located in the heart of
$4,000 acre government irrigation pro-
|ject that is built on an elaborate scale
with permanent construction through
out. Water will be delivered for the
irrigation season this year, and the
British Columbia cannery has insured
a big start in the production on the
project by contracting for 200 acres of
tomatoes. For several miles about the
town great squares of newly turned
earth gives evidence of the extent of
cultivation that is being done this first
year. Scores of men with teams and
tractors are busily engaged in plowing
more acres of land each day, and sew
eral hundred workers are rushing tG
completion the bitches and laterals
that form the great distributing sys-
TEN of the project.
All of this is taking place at dist
ance of between l5 and Is miles north
of Oroville.

HOW'S THIS FOR RESULTS!

A little Bargain Column ad run
last week rented house this
week.
A baby carriage for sale was ad
vertised one time in the Bargain
Column. Twelve persons called to
buy it, one coming from Loomis. A
farm owner advertised he wanted
to buy livestock. A reply came
from Anglin with an offer.
An oil stove was advertised in
the Bargain Column two times and
was sold Immediately.
This is the thing that happens
ever week. If you have lost any
thing, look for the finder in the
Bargain Column. II you don't find
what you lost that way, advertise
in the Bargain Column. II you have
anything for sale. or trade or you
want to buy or rent, use the Bar
gain Column. These little ads get
results.

BAND MAY BE ORGANIZED.

OrOville may have a brass band
again. Local musicians are talking
about the organization of a band and
are in earnest about the proposition.
It has been number of years since a
band was maintained here, but at one
time Oroville boosted of one of the
best organizations of the kind in east
ern Washington. The need of band
music for public occasions has been
keenly felt since the old organization
was permitted to disintegrate and
from expressions made generally
there can be no doubt that the pro-
posal to reorganize will meet with
hearty encouragement and support
here.
