BANKING ON 1923.

In looking back over the old year
and measuring up its contribut0ry
influence upon the material advance
ment of the town the showing hardly
justifies any conspicuous exhibition
of enthusiasm. Oroville's growth has
not been such as to employ a skillful
mathematical expert in totaling up tne
results. If the town has not stood still
it surely has not been equipped with
seven league boots and the total
amount expended in improvements
would rather appal one on account OF
it's lack of size. However. this coma
tose state as applied to building dur
ing 1922 does not discourage us. We
have no painful readjustment follow
ing spasmotic boom and we look
forward to an improvement of condi-
lions during the new year that has
just commenced its twelve months
hike Why so optimistic? Simply be-
cause the natural location of Oroville
insures town of considerable size
and Importance, an advantage that
cannot be taken from the place no
matter what changes may be wrought
by time, and backing that natural To-
cation are resources that when fully
developed are sufficient to support a
city. Those resources are gradually
being developed, utilized, made a
source of profit and when that devel-
opment comes to full maturity Oro-
vile will speedily feel the effect with
a responding growth that will push
the town to that place in the front
that it is entitled to nold.
While the town may have limped
along behind neighbors the surround
ing country has advanced steadily,
especially under the West Okanogan
Valley Irrigation system, one of the
best and most reliable in the matter
Of quantity Of water at command in
the west, embracing the most fertile
land lying outdoors. Many new citi-
zens have invested In tracts, and
these new recruits are made up Of
the very best material for the proper
development Of the land that they
have attained. New orchards have
been set out, more energetic and in
telligent effort has been enlisted in
bringing the land under a high state
of production, young orchards are
coming into bearing and the older
orchards are at last reaching their
full fruitage. All these things are
leading up to securing the very best
returns from the lands surrounding
and tributary to Oroville and natur-
ally when those lands reach the max
imum of productivity Oroville will feel
the accruing benefits.
Another reason that is to have its
influence upon the upbuilding of Oro-
Vile is the mineral deposits near at
hand which nave remained undevelop-
ed for so many years. Indications
point to renewal of mining opera
tons hereabouts during the coming
year and If one paying mine Is ever

ROBS COUNTRY PRINT SHOP.

Well, we'll. we'll! We don't hardly
believe it, but it must be so, because
the Okanogan Independent says It's
so, but this is the first time in all our
years Of newspaperdom land they
have been many, that we have ever
heard OF print shop being burglar
lied. And the burglar got away with
$3.50. We don't believe 1t, thatt flat.
Who ever heard of an editor having
that amount Of money, any how? We
are Of two minds in regard to this
matter. Either Brother Woody wants
the world to know that he actually had
$3.50 for Christmas all in one bunch,
or he didn't have 1t and wanted to
make the rest Of US jealous BY saying
that he did and that he was done for
the whole amount. When you come to
think of it, this is lot of money to
be lying around loose in a print shop,
in fact that's just what makes 1t look
kind of queer. However. we're honest
enough to give the Independents own
version of the matter:
"A desire for spending money for
Christmas evidently prompted the first
burglary which has occurred in Okla
hogan in several months. Sometime
during Tuesday night someone unlock
ed back door of the Sample Store
with pass key. The door opens into
corridor which runs along the side
of the store, A door that opens from
the corridor into the store was forced
by breaking .,he sill and tearing loose
bolt which fastened the door,. About
IS in change, which had been taken in
after the safe was locked for the night
was taken from the till. Frank De
Bolt, has charge of the store, and Ia
not sure if anything else Is missing.
The office of the Okanogan indie
pendent was also entered the same
night and $3.50 which was kept in a
purse In the safe, was also taken, the
safe being unlocked. Entrance to the
office was gained by using a pass key
on the back door, The loss at the indie
pendent office was not discovered un-
til after the burglary of the Sample
store had been investigated. The two
burglaries were evidently effected by
the same parties"

secured this part Of the country will
forge to the front with leaps and
bounds.
At the present time the indications
are bright for fat year in the har-
vest fields where lean years have pre-
crop, or near bumper crop, would go
far toward putting the farmer again
upon his feet, and that is consum-
nation that all want to see, for unless
the farmer prospers there is little
hope of prosperity for the balance Of
us.
Hence altogether future prospects
are most hopeful, and there is every
reason to believe that the year 1928
will prove an exceptionally fortunate
one for the people of both town and
country. Let everybody brace up and
look on the brighter side of life. Us
older people nave passed through far
greater depressions than has marked
the country in the past two years, in
deed much Of the alleged hard times
of the past years year has been Of the
imagination. except Immediately In
those agricultural districts where
crop failures have been repeated
Where everybody cries out hard times
it is very easy to fall In line and i'm
agine the worst. A little more opti-
mism would DO muoh 10 aissipate
gloom. Let us get together, pull to-
gether and stay together throughout
the new year and much can be accom-
plished that will rebound to the bene-
fit Of the individual and the commun-
ity as q whole.

wholesale slaughtering Of this fish

wholesale slaughtering of this fish
by shooting and other unlawful meth
DDS practiced not only by the Indians
but many whites as we'll. The Indians
insisted that silver trout" was only
salmon and that they had a right to
take them any way they could get
them. Commissioner Fruit however
took a different view of the matter
and the question grew to be a warm
one and has remained unsettled ever
since. The opinion Of Dean Cobb how
ever, we may presume, will settle the
matter, although to our own personal
knowledge there is quite difference
between the two species Of the finny
tribe that is very perceptable to any
one who is used to catching them.
