MEETING OF OLD SCHOOL MATES,

Last week Robert Penrose and DR..
While, prominent residents Of Pentic-
ton spent day in Oroville. DR.. White
is a successful physician at the big
British Columbia town on Okanogan
lake, and pioneer of the boundary
country, at one time residing at Fair
view. Mr.. PenrOse is the owner of one
Of those beautiful orchards on the
high lands back of Penticton, that have
made the Penticton district one Of the
show places Of the provence. Forty
years ago Mr.. Penrose and Chas. A.
Powell, of this place, were school
mates in England, and the friendship
cemented at that time has continued
over all the intervening years. While
he was here Mr.. Powell took Mr.. Pen
rose on drive through the valley
as far south as Ellisforde, and that
gentleman expressed much gratifica-
ton over the appearance Of the sturdy
and healthy orchards, and especially
the width and extent of the valley un-
der the irrigation system. 1t was the
first time that Mr.. Penrose has had an
opportunity to see this part of the val
LEY and it was certainly a revelation
to him. He predicted a bright and
prosperous future both for the valley
and Oroville, that occupies such fav-
orable position in almost the center
of this rich irrigated district.

0.v.P. RUMORED
Report Published in Wenatchee that
Big Electric Interests Seek Con.
troll OF Local Company.

Report that efforts are being made
by representatives of Stone & Webster
or the Washington Water Power Co.,
to acquire control Of the Qkanogan
Valley Power company, was published
in Tuesdays Wenatchee Daily World.
While local representatives Of the
Okanogan Valley Power company
are not in position to be quoted
authoritatively, they place no cred
ence in the report. However, 1t Is
known that Warren Marshall Of Bos-
ton, said to be connected with the
Stone & Webster interests, and
Charles Kincaid Of Seattle, an engi-
neer, visited Oroville last week and
while here examined the power plant
of the Okanogan Valley Power COM
pany on the Similkameen river This
visit has given color to the reports of
a possible move on the part Of the big
power interests to get into this field.
The Stone & Webster people have
entered the Wenatchee territory and
the Washington Water Power COM
pany early this year extended a power
line into Grant county.
The Okanogan Valley Power COM
pany serves a big field and has in
creased its facilities to meet the grow
ing demand for power in the past few
years.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT.

The Twisp News of July IA. con-
tains the following account of a
very singular accident, which goes to
show that loded gun is dangerous
under any and every circumstance:
Mrs. N. T. Wilson was the victim
yesterday morning Of a frightful acci-
dental shooting when she unfortu-
matte pistol % calibre, that was set
off, sending two bullets through her
head and shoulders.
The pistol was hanging on the wall
and in passing Mrs. Wilson is suppos-
ed to have touched the weapon, un-
consciously, but sufficiently to set it
going. She was instantly rushed to
DR.. Gossett, who temporarily cared
for the unfortunate young victim, and
also called DR.. Gerhart of Wenatchee
who arrived last evening. Three
wounds were found on first examina-
ton by Dr.. Gossett, but only one bull
let could be located without the use
Of the X-ray. This was taken from
the inside of the cheek, and had
sahttered two teeth. AS soon as the pa
tient can be moved she will be taken
to the hospital at Wenatchee.
The Wilson's arrived here on their
honeymoon about three weeks ago
They decided to locate and were just
getting settled down on tract 80, near
M. Chapman's, which they had pur-
chased, when they were overtaken by
this serious mishap.
The doctors believe that Mrs. Will
sons chances of recovery are quite
favorable.

BACK FROM TRIP INTO b. C.
Messrs Getsey and Jackson go North
TO Inspect "A Mine.

J. F.. Getsey and r. A. Jackson re-
turned to Oroville Tuesday from trip
to the mining property in British Co.
lumbia in which Mr.. Getsey is largely
interested. This mine is located some
As miles east of Vernon, and there are
few prospects in that part of British
Columbia that presents as favorable a
showing Of high grade ore, or that is
so fortunately equipped for economical
working. The ledge has been opened
up by shaft and tunnel, and a large
tonnage Of ore blocked out. This ore
runs well in gold, silver and copper.
The property Is equipped with a small
stamp mill, operated by water power.
Assays from the ore runs high in val
ues, and with the facilities at hand
for producing power the mine can be
worked at minimum cost of opera
ton.
The owners have been fortunate in
interesting California and Seattle cap
ital in the property, after long negO-
tiations, and sufficient amount of
money has been raised to install all
the machinery necessary to open up
the mineral deposits at depth. 1t is in
tended to start up development along
extensive and systematic lines and
continue until the mine is in shape to
become a regular producer for treat
Iment on the ground or shipment of ore
The company is fortunate in having
for manager an experienced miner
ologist, miner and assayer who pre-
fers to accept a very small salary and
a small interest in the property to
positions with munificent salaries that
have been offered him by large mine
operators elsewhere, so confident is he
in the ultimate value Of this particular
mine.
Messrs. Getsey and Jackson Aad a
very pleasant trip. They found it very
dry and warm, but quite variation
in the temperature at the mine In the
day time at the mine the thermometer
registered S5 degrees, and at night the
mercury would fall to 80 degrees. Mr.
Jackson states that many Of the lakes
and streams are drying up from lack
of rain.

FISH INFLUENCED THE DEAL.

Monday Dell Hart sold five acres of
the Olds tract, in East Oroville, to G.
w. Drinkwine, of Wenatchee. and the
new purchaser will put the land in
trees. Mr.. Drinkwine knows good
thing in the way Of choice orchard
land when he sees it, because he has
grown an orchard in the Wenatchee
valley, where the raising of apples has
reached perfection, and has prospered
by his venture. Although the land It.
self attracted Mr.. Drinkwine the ap-
pearance of the land alone was not
responsible for the deal. Sunday Mr..
Hart and Mr.. Drinkwine were out up
on the lake fishing, sport to which
the gentleman is addicted, and the re-
suit of that excursion cinched the deal.
Mr.. Drinkwine declared that next year
he will have a motor boat upon the
lake, near which his new possession
is located, and that spells misery to
the fish in return for JOY to the owner
of the boat.

TOUCH OF WILD LIFE.

With the disposal to newcomers
seeking locations under the West Okla
hogan Valley Irrigation system Of the
best land on earth, considering the
fertility Of the soil and prodigality Of
production, combined with climatic
and scenic surroundings that cannot
be surpassed anywhere, it is not al
ways the promise of sellers to throw
in wild life to improve the landscape.
Still, occasionally the eye is charmed
by the sight of some animal which
may be foraging at the expense of the
owner of the property upon which he
has elected to resort. A case Of this
kind, making pretty picture, came
under the observation Of w. H. Thayer
last Friday, as he was driving toward
town along the road in East Oroville,
when a beautiful doe trotted out in
front of his car, apparently without
fear, finally leaping the fence into
the Haskell orchard with the grace
of action that stamps the deer as the
most agile animal eXtant, there to
browse upon the succulent herbage
under the outrageous forest of fruit
trees

MINING ACTIVITY.

The Austin Gold and Copper Mining
company, organized by the efforts Of
Henry Bahrs, is now prepared to carry
on extensive development on the
claims that the company holds. Money
has been provided for pushing the
work of exploitation and the work
will be in charge of Mr.. Bahrs, who,
from his long experience as an opera
tor, is fully equipped to properly sup
erintend this development The claims
are situated on Douglas mountain,
some four miles southeast of Loomis,
and near the Yellow Jacket and Little
Falls claims that at one time were
worked to considerable extent, but that
have been idle nearly twenty years.
Mr.. Bahrs' venture will be watched
with great deal of interest by all the
old timers familiar with that part of
the county.

APRICOTS PAYING FRUIT.

c. w. Smith is satisfied that apricots
are a paying crop in this valley, and
his conclusion is based upon substan-
tial grounds, substantial financially,
Mr.. Smith has four acres Of five-year-
old apricot trees. These trees are
bearing prolifically this year for trees
of that age, as all fruit trees do in
this valley. His apricots are the finest
that have come into market, and he
has been receiving at the rate of $120
per ton for the crop. Figuring on the
yield of each tree and his tract will
bring him in $3.50 per acre, which
is not an income to be sneezed at. AS
the apricot need less attention than
any fruit tree planted in this district,
and comes into bearing earlier than
any other of the large fruits. Mr.. Smith
has reached the conclusion that april
cot growing is one of the most attract
i've lines in the fruit industry.

BUMPER APPLE CROP FORECAST.

W. A. CRUDE and Fred Clark, who
are about as well posted upon fruit
conditions in this part Of the valley
as any residents of the community, re-
port that the prospects are bright for
the largest apple crop ever harvested
in this part of the county. Some time
ago it was necessary to make about
a fifty per cent thinning in the or
chards, and this week the thinning
process is being repeated in some Of
the orchards. This sounds like a
shocking waste Of fruit, but the thin
ming out was found necessary in order
that the remainder Of the crop, which
promises to be enormous, may reach
the perfection that has given the ap-
pie grown under the West OkanOgan
Valley Irrigation system reputation
as the best fruit of the kind that
reaches the market.

Loss OF 100000.

the terminus of the Wenatchee and
Mansfield branch railroad, in the GEN.
ter of the large plateau constituting
Douglas county, suffered a serious
fire Tuesday afternoon. The fire
started at o'clock in livery stable
and spread with marvellous rapidity,
owing to the extreme dryness. A num-
ber Of business houses and residences
were destroyed. The water system was
put out of commission early, leaving
the town without protection Fire
fighters were rushed from Waterville,
but the flames were not checked until
everything in the path of the fire had

BOOST BETTER SIRES CAMPAIGN

Cooperating in nation wide cam
paign to improve livestock by the use
of better sires, number of western
live stock breeders associations have
united in urging wider publicity
among farmers Of the gain to them Of
building up the quality Of their live
stock. They cite as an example the
case of Humboldt county, California,
county with $4,000 dairy cows, when
the difference in butterfat production
last year between the $4,000 highest
producing cows and the $4,000 lowest
was matter of 100000 pounds
with value slightly over $500,000
"A careful investigation in the case
showed that this difference in pro-
duction was mainly due to the use OF
good purebred registered sires," the
letter maintains.
