FILLING UP
The VALLEY
fm'tering Showing Of Land Transfers
Under ". o. v. l. System SO far
During the Year 1929

More than 20 transfers of land are
reported to the secretary of the irri-
sation project for the period covering
the past four months, and go new
names are added to the list of land
owners in the valley.
Nearly 1,40O acres are affected bv
these transfers, and some 30 families
nave taken up their residence in the
district this spring. A number of fam
HES are arranging to move on their
tracts this fall, some next spring. and
lew Will not move on to their lands
until the trees being now planted are
nearing production.
The most encouraging feature of
this development is the fact that the
most OF the buyers are securing only
that amount of land they want for a
home. the average being from 10 to
15 acres
Future development must come
from the dividing up of large hold
ings.

PATRONIZE THE FREE LIBRARY,

OrOVille can boast OF one of the
most complete libraries that is to be
found in any of the small towns of the
state. IL contains many volumes. run
ming through all the phases of read
ing from science to fiction. This IL
brary has been built up after years
OF endeavor through the earnest eff
forts of the ladies of the town and it
is as free to the public as the air the
public breathes. Unfortunately the
public does not seem to appreciate
this opportunity to secure "a better
class of reading matter. From the
fact that few take books from the IL
brary one is forced to the conclusion
not exactly flattering to the COM
munity, that this is not reading
people, and those who do not read
books, clean and instructive books of
which there are plenty in the Civic
League library, are wasting hours of
their lives that could be made valu-
able to them. In order to accommodate
the public the library is kept open
Tuesday afternoons and Saturday af-
ternoons and evenings. Those who
wish to secure books can do so by ap-
plying at the Civic League building on
the days mentioned and they will be
accommodated Ladies will be found
in charge of the library who will take
pleasure in supplying books to any
or all who may apply. Patronize the
H.
who are providing the service without
charge and at the same time get the
reading habit.

MADE A HIT AT OkKANOGAN.

The Hume sisters, appearing under
the name of the Neapolitan Entertain
ers, made their first appearance at
the Paramount theater, Okanogan,
Monday evening and made an instan-
taneous hit. Notwithstanding the
weather was oppressively hot the the
ater held a record breaking crowd and
the young ladies were highly compli-
mented by scores of people who stop
ped to congratulate them upon the ad-
mirable performance. The manager Of
the theater was so we'll pleased that
he insisted upon booking dates for
their temperance this fall for sew
eral nights Mr.. and Mrs. Dell Hart
drove down to Okanogan just to be
present at the concert and they felt
well repaid for the long ride. Mr.. Hart
is effusive in praise of the perform
ance and expressed the hope that at
some future date the Neapolitans
would give an entertainment in OrO-
vile feeling satisfied they would draw
out an audience that would tax the
capacity of the house.

GREAT SHOWING OF WINESAPS.

In most of the apple producing dis
tricts of the state Winesaps are run
ming short this season for some reas
on that cannot be accounted for. 1t
is different around OrOville. The
Winesap trees are sight to behold.
Already, with the fruit only in the
formulative period. the weight of the
immature apples is taxing the
strength of the twigs and limbs to
bear the load 1t is necessary in num-
erous orchards, and especially in
these of the East Oroville tracts, to
thin out fully 5O.per cent. This show
ing is a great advertisement for apple
culture under the West Okanogan Val
ley Irrigation system. There is going
to be a large crop of apples of every
variety, but especially Winesaps, and
that in season when the Winesap is
short all over the west. The evidence
that soil is productive is in the pro-
duction, and in the northern OkanOgan
valley, where production is yet in it's
very infancy, it has been fully demon
strated that the soil cannot be sur
passed for productivity. Being the last
of the large irrigation districts, with
orchards yet in the formulative stage,
the West Okanogan Valley Irrigation
District is dragging somewhat in the
rear of the prosperity procession, but
watch our smoke The hundreds OF
acres just recently set out to fruit
mi in foy
years, and the other towns now enjoy
ing growth through the impetus OF
incomes from orchards will be at
standstill and Oroville and Tonasket
| will be on the hum. ItIis finale to the
reclamation Of the 10000 acres under
The local system that is as sure as the
rolling around of the seasons.

LAST CHAPTER IN LATE TRAGEDY
After Burial Here Body Of Bud viii.
iams Exhuned for Shipment.

On Sunday morning, June 4, a young
man named Bud Williams was found
floating near the shore at the south
end of Palmer lake at a point where
the wagon road is overflowed every
spring during the prevalence of high
water. He was seen on foot going to-
ward Palmer lake and was advised to
crawl over the cliff at the point where
the road was submerged, and it is
generally supposed that when he
reached the top of the cliff he was
suddenly taken with an attack of epi-
lepsy, which the unfortunate young
man was subject to, and was killed
in the fall from the cliff This conclu-
sion is borne out from the fact that
there were numerous cuts and bruises
on the body and it was floating on
the water when found.
Undertaken w. l.. Barnes was sum-
moned at the time of the accident and
took charge of the remains. 1t was
necessary to embalm the body where
found, owing to decomposition having
set in, and it was brought to Oroville.
Mr.. Barnes notified George Henry,
the stepfather of the deceased, living
at Bunker, a saw mill station near
Centralia, asking instructions as to
the disposition of the remains. Mr..
Barnes states that Mr.. Henry ordered
the remains shipped to Centralia, but
would not, or did not, remit sufficient
money to pay for the carriage by ex-
press and the undertaking bill Mr..
Barnes held the body until the first
of last week, when receiving no defi-
mite instructions he had it buried in
the local cemetery
Last Thursday Otto F. Wiesinger
deputy county coroner of Lewis coun-
ty, and connected with the Stricklin
Undertaking company, of Chehalis, ar
rived in OrOville and demanded the
body Of young Williams. Mr.. Barnes
explained his connection with the case
and the difficulty he had experienced
in securing instructions as well as his
dues. Mr. Wiesinger made salts
factory settlement, the remains were
exumed Friday and shipped to Che
halls in charge of Mr.. Wiesinger, Sat-
urday morning.

Washington. D. c., Aug 22-Presi-

dealing with industrial troubles was
characterized in the House yesterday
by Representative Huddleston, Demo-
crat, Alabama, ''as an unfair, unjust
and preiudiced statement" against
working men who had used the strike,
the only instrument known to them.
Mr.. Huddleston declared that work
ing people felt they had been dealt
with "unjustlyv He added that the
presidents speech was calculated to
"irritatc the other side and insisted
that the president stay inside the con-
stitutionp
In eolloquy with the Alabama mem
Der, Representative Greene, Republ-
can, Vermont, said the strike might be
settled "if there were less talk about
IL" and Mr.. Huddleston replied that
"this advice should have been given the
president before he came before Con
