being away from home at the critical
moment a telephone call was sent in

Aroused from his deep sleep by the
jingling of the telephone, and being
told of the imperativeness of the call,
he dressed, ran his auto out Of a gar

HIS ANNUAL DUTY.

This is the season of the year when
orchardists goes forth with shears,
saws and knives and manicures his
trees. This is one of the inherent du-
ties of the man who grows trees for
the fruit thereof If he does not whit
tie off the nonessential spurs, shoots
and branches at the proper time there
is going to be shortage of the yield
in the season when the yield is to be
expected, and that that the trees do
yield will fall far short Of the proper
standard. 1t is necessary to provide
ample openings in the foliage to give
free ingress for the sun and the in
vigorating air that puts such beauty
in the fruit of the Okanogan valley
and gives it that flavor that is not
vouchsafed to similar fruit produced
in any other locality. And the man
who gets the best results cannot be
merciful to his trees. He must go at
the job with bloodthursty determin-
alton to hack away a large quantity
Of wood. Some people do not seem to
have the heart to slash their trees to
the very verge of mutilation, and they
are thus surprised that some neighbor
who has exhibited no leniency when it
came to pruning harvests larger and
better crop. 1t is the same timidity
that prevents Orchardists in some in
stances to refrain from thinning
when fruit is in the formulative per-
iod 1t does look like wicked waste
to trim trees to the quick, or go out
into the orchard when the limbs are
bowling under wealth Of partially
developed fruit and rob them Of third
or half ftheir fruitage, but exper-
ience has taught the successful grow
er that ravishing the tree of both dead
wood and half developed fruit is GER
tain to bring its reward in the enc
with a higher standard of fruit, and il
is quality that always commands the
best prices in the markets of the
| world.

DISASTROUS fire
AT NIGnTHAWk
w. C. Jones' Store and All Its Contents
Destroyed Causing a Loss OF
Upwards OF $4,000.

The general merchandise store
at -Nighthawk, owned by W. c. Jones,
was totally destroyed by fire with all
its contents Tuesday morning about
10 o'clock. Mr.. Jones was in Spokane
at the time and the store was in charge
of ais son Earl. Young Jones came
down to Oroville Immediately after
the fire, considerably disfigured, as
he was painfully scOrched about the
face in his efforts to save the books
and papers, in which effort he was
successful. He gave the following par
ticulars in regard to the disaster:
Mr.. Jones started fire as usual in
the stove Tuesday morning. About
9 o'clock, as he was in front Of the
store, he discovered that the entire
upper story was In flames. Tle build
ing being of frame, with no means at
hand for fighting fire, it burned with
fearful rapidity and he had time only
to gather together the books and pa
pers when he was driven from the
building by the flames and not then
until he had suffered painful burns
The second story which was occupied
| by Mr.. Jones and his wife, was heat
ed by large sheet iron drum and
Mr.. Jones believes the drum became
| overheated and the fire can be attri-
buted to that cause.
Mr.. Jones store was the only bust
mss establishment in Nighthawk. 1t
was large two story structure built
some 20 years ago when Nighthawk
