LETTER FROM SYDNEY CARTON
TO JOHN ALDEN PRESCOTT

[ haven't written you, Jack, because
have been too damn mad. 1 was
afraid to entrust what I would write
to the mail bag for fear it would burn
up the other letters.
OF all selfish, unappreciative, ego
tistical, silly asses that l have ever
met you take the cake. Do you think
l am a man Of straw to be thrown
about as a buffet for your despicable
carcass?
1t is all very we'll for you to write
me that selfpreservation is the first
law of nature, but what about me?
Do you think 1t was a decent kind of
thing to do to let Leslie imagine I
was the father Of your own baby?
For he IS your baby. I've got the
whole thing from Paula.
Right here let me say that Paula
Perier IS much too good for you and
she only put that baby on your door
step because she had an idea Leslie
was the true sweet woman she Is and
would take care of her child when it
was impossible for her to care for It.
You really didn't enter into her cal.
culations in the least. She only saw
that Leslie was III and a baby was
necessary to save her life
Think Of 1t! If It is possible that
thoughts can be born in that deep
vecuum enclrcled by your skull The
woman whom you wronged was ready
70 Oh Ao
her own child. Partly Of course be
cause she knew it would be we'll taken
care Of but more than all else because
she knew the gift would probably save
LealIe's life.
And you needn't tell me. Jack. that
yod haven't helped that damnable lie
Of my fatherhOod. Why. I'll never
dare show my face to Leslie again.
7 wish I had told her all about you
before you were married
7 suppose you thought 1t was a bril-
liant. idea, but Ia Ike to smash that
mass Of emasculated molecules which
you probably call your brain. In which
the idea found Judgment.
You've stretched our friendship too
far. Jack All my life I have been
the one to whom you have come with
your troubles brought on by your own
assinine acts.
Now I am through
I may as we'll tell you that Paula
IS wild 10 have her baby back She
seems to think she has done her duty
by lending It to Leslie long enough
TO save your wifes life and now the
boy should be returned to her.
OF course I told her that, as you
had legally adopted II. she could do
nothing. But you know Paula-al.
though she has almost lost her ac-
cent and become a woman OF the
world, vet she has it in her to kick
up more trouble than any woman I
have ever known, II she thinks It IS
necessary to gain her ends.
In the meantime you might well
know that / shall not lift a finger to
help you out OF this despicable scrape
you have gotten me mixed up IN, as
we'll as yourself.
The only thing that worries me in
the least is that these two girls
yes. call them girls for they are
both on the threshold OF hfe-will
have to suffer long, long years on ac-
count Of the shameful and utterly
contemplate baseness of mans desire.
I'd like to write more to you but
I can't find words TO express the fury
with which your letter filled me. III
never forgive you for this.

Black AIkali.
f. O. b. Flint, Mich.

Investigations have been made of the
almost complete loss of fertility of
from 10000 to $4,000 acres in the San
Luis valley Of Colorado, and this con-
dition Is attributed to the so-called
'black alkali," composed largely of
sodium carbonate. THIS carbonate is
carried in the waters of the valley, in
Guiding the rivers and the artesian
wells, and the practice of subirrigation
has brought it to the surface by
capillarity and evaporation. 1t is sug-
gested that the remedy lies in a con-
version Of the carbonates into sui
pilates by the use of liberal amount
of gypsum-about nine pounds of gyp-
sum to one pound of black alkaIi-
AMI downward washing by means of
surface irrigation with burrows or by
flooding.

DID HIS WORK WELL.

During our late absence from Oro-
vile Justin X. Hill and family moved
to Yelm, WASH, where Mr.. Hill has
charge Of state irrigation system.
Mr.. Hill has held position with the
West Okanogan Valley Irrigation
district for number of years having
supervision Of repairs and upkeep,
and no man could have performed the
duties Of the place he neld more eff
ciently than did Mr.. Hill. Experience
of ages has demonstrated that no man
is so efficient in any walk Of life or
Industrial activity but that his place
cannot be filled by some one else, but
it will have to be man OF exceptional
energy and capability who can step
into Mr.. Hills shoes. From the fact
that the state reclamation service
grabbed Mr.. Hill the moment that he
gave up his position in Oroville is in
disputable evidence that ne is a val
liable man in the conduct of irrigation
work. Mr.. and Mrs. Hill were popular
members of the community and Yelm
secures very worthy citizen at Oro-
ville's expense.

DEATH OF FORMER RESIDENT.

There are many residents of the
read with deep feeling OF sincere re-
greet of the death of Mrs. ]. ]. Bennett
who for a number Of years resided on
a ranch at Wanicut lake. We have no
particulars as to the cause OF death,
but the end must have come very
suddenly. Mrs. Fl. r. Gregg received q
letter from Mr.. Bennett Friday last in
which he states that his wife had
made out list of names to whom
Christmas cards we're to be sent, but
been stricken down and passed away
at their home at Jackson, Ohio. Many
years ago Mr.. Bennett became inter-
ested in mining property in the north
part of the county and came out for
the purpose of taking direct charge
of the property. Subsequently Mr..
Bennett took up homestead on the
shores of Wanicut Jake wnere the FAM
lily resided for a number of years, re-
turning to Ohio some three years ago.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bennett were most aim
able and likeable citizens and during
their residence here made warm
friends of all with whom they came
in contact. Mrs. Bennett was strik-
ingly attractive woman, OF most
charming and winning personality,
and the picture Of perfect health, and
her sudden death is as unexpected as
it is shocking to her many Oroville
and Okanogan county friends,

KNOW THEY HAVE A GOOD THING.

The proof that an investment Of
fered to the public is good thing,
rests in the willingness of the people
of the community in which the in
vestment is offered, to risk their own
money in the proposed enterprise that
the investment is to back. Such proof
is conspicuous by the liberal manner
in which local money mas been sub
scribed toward financing the Oroville
Okanogan Oil company's Cat Creek
venture A committee made up of l.. F.
Stansbury, Bert Sanger and Fred Lu-
dolph started out last week soliciting
funds to continue sinking the we'll
already down several hundred feet on
the land that the company controls.
Within that period of time they have
collected $4,000. The campaign will
be continued until $1,000 are raised.
/ 1t is calculated that that sum will be
sufficient to sink the well to oil, and
after that there is nothing to it. No
more stock will be offered for sale,
| for the company is not out to drill
| the public. Those who have been on
the ground, and several reliable men,
bers of the company have inspected
the company's Cat Creek holdings,
feel satisfied that 1t is only a matter
of going down to strike oil, and 1t is
not necessary to go to very great
depth. In fact, experts calculate that
the well will come in at 500 or 90C
feet, and the sum the committee Is out
to raise will be sufficient to drill tC
that depth. In a short time Mr.. Lu.
dolph, who has personal supervision
of the drilling, will leave for Ca
Creek and proceed to get the machin
cry ready to start drilling as soon al
spring opens, with the expectation o
continuing steadily at work until re
suits are obtained.

In A NEW SIDE LINE.

j. F. Getsey, one of the oldest active
railroad conductors on the Great Nor
thern, spent several days in Oroville
during the holidays. While Mr.. GetsSV
confines himself closely to punching
tickets he is not averse to branching
out on side lines where the prospect
of picking up few dollars more or
less, honestly, holds out an attrac-
ton. Mr.. Getsey became interested in
most promising gold mine, situated
in British Columbia, a few years ago,
from which he anticipates fortune
in the course of time, but he is not
depending entirely upon ais gold mine
for an income as he has recently open
ed the Hub furniture store in Spo-
kane, which Is in charge OF Louie
Drummer, young man well known in
Oroville. where he at one time made
his home. Mr.. Getsey reports that his
new venture is already showing signs
of growing into an important and con-
'sequenk payiAg proposition.

GONE TO THE COAST.

N. c. Faulkner, VINO reid lease
on the Stansbury ranch and orchard
located just east OF town, for the past
year, transferred the lease back to
Mr.. Stansbury on the 21st of Decem-
ber, according to note just received
from Mr.. Faulkner, who has gone to
Monroe, on the west side of t1e noun
tains for the winter. Mr.. Faulkner
says: This season we packed 6,6S7
boxes of apples from the Stansbury
orchard and 6S per cent Of the crop
packed extra fancy. There were 1900
boxes of Saps that went 81 per cent
extra fancy" This would indicate that
Mr.. Faulkner made most creditable
record with the orchard under his
stewardship, indicative Of honest ef-
fort and tle application Of careful and
intelligent management.

TOO VALUABLE TO LOSE.

After having conducted business in
OrOville for several years Fred G.
Hart felt it necessary, owing to the
prevailing quiet times, to close hts
meat market, Saturday. What Mr..
Hart may have in view we do not
know, yet we hope that whatever line
of endeavor he may elect to follow,
it will not be necessary for him to
change nis residence, for Oroville can
i'll afford to lose such an active and
willing citizen as Fred Hart, and es-
pecially at this time when the united
aid of energetic men is necessary to
rejuvenate town That is sadly in
need Of rejuvenating. 1t can be safely
said without fear of successful CONTRA
diction that Mr.. Hart has done as
much in a quiet and unostentatious
way to forward the best interests Of
Oroville as any member of the COM
munity. Being willing to shoulder
public work much public work has
been wished off on Mr.. Hart in past
years and he has never refused to
tdhc up tuc ouiuCh anu SoiAy ~
through to the best of his ability. II
there has been money to collect for
civic enterprise he has been drafted
into service. He has awlays been ap-
|pointed on committees to perform diff
|ficuGt duties IN connection with Conn
mercial Club activities or public cele-
brations, and has never failed to do
ais best and he made a success OF
such undertakings. In lodge work So
cial or otherwise, 1t has become such
practice to ring in Fred Hart that q
committee would be lost II he was not
among the number. He seems to have
faculty of doing those things FOL
which he Is called to do so as to bring
happy issue out of effort. Hence we
again repeat that as one who has
watched him accept responsibilities ir
the promotion of civic affairs ant
lodge entertainments and get away
with those responsibilities as few mel
are able to do we sincerely trust tina
in this unlucky turn of fortune, Mr.
Hart will not find it necessary to taxi
up work in other fields.
