Expects Better Times With hcJuve-

Special TO The World
CHELSEA, Feb. 6.--According to
j. y. Milan. president of the Bank
OF Chelsea, the distressing financial
conditions have not yet caused any
one in this locality to sell oil hold
ings at sacrifice price which he
looks upon as Indicating "A pecul-
iarly strong position by the various
oil property owners. Mr.. Milan de-
ciares that better times in this vicin-
ity will come with Improvement In
the oil business. and that farming
will play only a secondary part.
With this opinion, however, the
banker asserts that oil conditions
will improve here during the year
1s22. and that there will be much
drilling. Leasing has already shown
considerable life. he says, and oil
refineries In various parts of the
county are getting ready to start
operations again. He also expects TO
see a much higher price for oil than
Is being paid now.

WIRES lADENED
WITH SAD NEWS
Five Fatalities Reported In Families
Having Relatives Living In or
Near Or0ville.

One Of the most singular instances
OF the receipt by wire of a succession
OF reports Of fatalities to relatives OF
families living In a small community
occurred Wednesday morning. Within
the short space of an hour or two
messages announced the death by ac-
cident Of father and brother of one
OF our citizens. another message told
OF the death of two brothers of an
other resident, one natural death
and the other an accident, and third
message brought the sad news of the
death of the mother of a third resi-
dent. The first occurred in southern
California, the second in Montana and
the, third In this state.
G. v. Johnson, living on West Cen
trail avenue, received word that his
father and brother had been accident
ally killed Tuesday. No particulars
were given. Mr.. Johnson's parents
live in southern California. Only a
short time ago another brother died
from natural causes and Mr.. Johnson
motored down to California to be with
his parents for short time at least
in their bereavement
w. H. Barney received word that
one Of his brothers had died at Lewis
town, Montana, Tuesday and the same
day another brother had been killed
in railroad accident.
The same morning N. C. Faulkner
received word that MS mother had
died at Monroe, Wash. In this instance
death was not wholly unexpected as
the lady had been i'll for some time
so we understand.

SLUGGED BY MELON THIEF,
Caught Red Handed Knocks Unexpect.
Ing CaptOr Senseless,

Thursday night Charles McGinty,
living few miles south Of town un-
der the foot of the mountain on the
east side of the Okanogan river, heard
some one in the melon patch short
/ distance from the house and he start
ed out to investigate. He found a man
among the melons, but it was too dark
to recognize who ne was. He took the
intruder by the arm and as he did so
the man struck Mr.. McGinty twice in
the face. Mr.. McGinty stepped back to
defend himself and as he did so he
heard some one approaching and he
turned his head to see how many
opponents he was to face. AS he turned
the man he mad confronted struck him
a terrific blow behind the ear knock
ing him unconscious. Mr.. McGinty re-
NAMED on the ground unconscious for
fully an hour before recovering suffi-
ciently to reach the house, and even
then he was so dazed that it was an
other hour before he could explain
what had happened to him. Mr. Nc
Ginty's father was in his bare feet
when the son at last was able to tell
what had happened Without stopping
to put on his shoes the senior McGinty
rushed to the melon patch, but the
marauders had flown. Without return
ing to the house for his shoes Mr.. Nc
Ginty followed the automobile tracks
for hours until he located the ma
chine and although his feet were
bruised and sore he hunted up Mar
shall Weldon and the two proceeded
to search for the guilty parties.
Following the tracks to certain
residence the officer found girl who
had been Of the party that had raided
the melon patch and she gave out
the information that was wanted. Ac-
cording to her story Morris Berg, who
poses as a prize fighter, Frank Schulz
and Herald Finley and two girls were
of the party in tne auto 1t was Berg
who was found in the melon patch
and who brutally struck down young
McGinty. The young men were arrest
ed and Friday Judge Beale fined Berg
500 and costs amounting to some $lZ,
while the other two men escaped with
the light penalty Of S. and costs each.
Chas. McGinty, who was so unex-
pectedly attacked and so severely hurt
has suffered no after effect from the
blow. It is safe to say tnat In the fu-
tlrre neither of the McGinty's Will re-
spond to a noise in their melon patch
without being prepared to meet any
contingency that might arise.

CUSTOMS INSPECTOR.

Recognizing at last the Importance
of Oroville as port of entry along
the Canadian border the interior de-
partment has finally assigned an as
sistant for Inspector of Customs w. A.
Grnbe. The hardship of the work here
Is not so much the amount Of travel
both ways across the border as it is
the way that travel Is distributed
throughout the day, the day often ex-
tending well into the night. The new
assistant is Magnus P. Romstead, who
was transferred from Pembina, North
Dakota, headquarters for the North
Dakota district, who arrived last week,
has entered upon his duties and will
remain here until fall at least. Mr..
Romsead has recently been married,
and his wife accompanies him to Oro-
Vile. The Romsteads will occupy the
l.. B. Vincent residence, in the east
part of town. Mr.. Romstead is a fin
ished musician, with both band and
orchestra experience, and capable OF
leading and instructing a band. Mr..
and Mrs. Romstead will make valuable
additions to the community and it is
to be hoped that the business of the
port will be such as to justify the de-
partment in retaining Mr.. Romstead
here permanently.

WHITESTONE FLAT
TO Be IRRIGATED
State Reclamation Department Takes
the Bonds Of the. Project to the
Amount OF 100000.

The Monday issue of the Wenatchee
World brought to northern Okanogan
county the most momentous news as
bearing on the future Of this part Of
the county that has been received
since the glad tidings were flashed
over the wire that the money had been
promised that made the West Okla
hogan Valley Irrigation system a pos
sibility.
The Whitestone irrigation project
is now an assured fact for the state is
to advance the money. That is the
word that comes out of Olympia and
the financing problem was settled for
good and all Saturday.
1t is not stated when work will COM
mence upon the project, but now that
the most important feature OF such
proposition, the securing of the money
to do things, has been settled there
will be no long delay in commencing
actual construction.
1t is figured that the system can be
put in for 100000 and that is the
amount that is figured will cover the

is to advance.
The amount of land that will be sub
ject to irrigation is estimated at 5000
acres, and more fertile land, with the
aid of water cannot be found in the
west. 1t is the same as the valley land.
and that is huff said. Under the con-
tract with the state this land cannot
be held for speculative values. Fifty
dollars an acre is to be the ruling
price, and at those attractive figures
1t will require little time to cover the
entire district with thriving and
thrifty population.
The reclamation of this land will
add wealth to the county, increase the
population and contribute to the up
building of Loomis, Tonasket, Ellis
forde and Oroville. The fact is the
winning out of the Whitestone project
is greater blessing than the people
OF this part of the county can really
realize at the present time. The bene-
fits that are to accrue from the sys-
tenn is certainty of the future, and
the near future at that. We can all re-
joice over the prospect.

DISTRICT EQUALIZATION.

The directors of the local irrigation
project are in session this Friday as a
board of equalization. The board will
be in Tonasket on Saturday and in
session at Oroville again on Monday.
The last day for making adjustments
will be September 4th.
The purpose of the annual meeting
is to adjust any differences arising re-
garding the number of acres to be
assessed for water charges. The num-
Der of acres assessed is the basis Of
the annual tax assessment
With the large number of new land
owners coming into the district this
year and the consequent sub-dividing
of larger holdings, it behooves the new
owner to see that the proper acreage
is charged to him, as not only does the
acreage determine the amount of wa
ter charges to be paid, but it also de-
termines the quantity of water to be
turned out next season.
