more A. f. Wehe, who is here so flat

country, and has been engaged in
farming and stock raising in Spring
Coulee. between Conconully and Okla
hogan for a great many years. He
and his brother Ted are widely and
most favorably known throughout the
county Mr.. Maloney has made several
trips to Peace river in the chase of the
elusive yellow metal. Last year he
succeeded in locating a stream in
which he could pan out colOrs OF a
quantity that justifies him in making
the long, long trip to try his fortunes
again He struck pay dirt too late last
year to make a clean up, and goes
north this time to thoroughly pros
pect the stream and prepare to extract
the gold if found in sufficient quanti-
ties to pay, and he Is satisfied that the
gold Is there.
And a trip to the point on Peace
river where he and his companion
are going is no short hike or small un-
dertaking. By the time they get to
their goal they will have travelled
distance of over 1900 miles. They go
from here to Merritt where they catch
the Canadian Pacific and thence to
Calgary. From that place they con-
tinue on to Peace river and have 3OO
miles of boating. The route followed

drawn out. Mr.. Maloney has been faT
beyond the place to where he is now
going, visiting the Great Slave lake
and touching the Arctic ocean, where
the summer season is short and the
DAYS long. The travellers expect to re-
turn home in October.

PAINT SHOP BURGLARIZED,

Last Thursday night some unknown
person or persons entered John We
he's paint and painters supply store
on the south side Of the railroad track
next door to the Bank of Oroville, and
carried off paint and whitewasi
brushes to the value of some $50. En-
trance was made through the front
door which was easy as the door is so
shrunken that the spring latch hardly
holds. With the exertion of very
little effort the door was pried open
and when the nocturnal visitor had
gathered up what he wanted he simply
pulled the door shut again and the
premises showed no signs of having
been disturbed. Mr. Wehe discovered
his loss when he opened up the store
Friday morning. So far as ne could
ascertain nothing but the brushes
were taken. No. clue was left that
could be used in locating the guilty
person.

MOST EXCELLENT SHOWING.

The abbreviated statement Of the
First National Bank, covering the con-
dition Of that institution at the close
of business June 30, in response to a
call of the comptroller of the currency
and showing the principal items under
the head of resources and liabilities,
is interesting reading showing as 1t
does a marked improvement over the
last statement published in April.
There is a very substantial increase
in the deposits and the record as set
forth in these figures show the insti-
tuition to be in flatteringly flourish
ing condition. The past few years OF
depression in the agricultural sections
of the west put strain on the country
banks and those who had charge OF
those financial institutions and held
their own had to play the game close
to their vests. 1t is encouraging tt

BIG GRAIN YIELD PROMISED.

Word comes trickling down off the
hills in many trickles, that the wheat
crop has never looked so promising

Just at the present time. The stock is
high, the heads long and filling out
plumply. This for the fall sown grain.
So far as it has got along the spring
sown grain is showing the same Wig
orous growth. Town people who WIS.,

that the grain is so high and thick that
one could toss an anvil out upon the

travagant in their predictions as t6
how this grain is going to run, and Al

EAST SIDE PARK CAMPERS.

There have been several camping
parties at the East Side Park. de-
lightful camping spot on the bank Of
the Okanogan opposite the cream
cry, during the past few days. Among
them was James Mcclure, who con-
ducts a paint store at Waterville. Ac-
companying him were Mrs. Vaught
and Mrs. Perkins. The party was out
for brief vacation looking over this
part of north central Washington.
Also w. J. Neal, wife and daughter,
from Seattle, and Mrs. John Heath, OF
Slverdale, Washington. These people
are looking for a location and those
who had the pleasure of meeting them
while they were here are In hopes that
they will select Oroville, or a tract
very near Oroville, to make their fu-
ture home. Mr.. Neal visited Oroville
about a year ago and was most favor
ably impressed with the climate and
the appearance of this country. He
,, took home with him glowing accounts
Of the Okanogan valley and this year
brought his family over just to show
them that he had not exaggerated in
his description Of the country and
convince them tnat the heat was not
fatal to newcomers. Although he has
been used to indoor work for years,
since coming over here Mr.. Neal has
gone into the hay fields and perform
ed the work of full hand. Further
more, he says that he enjoyed the ex-
perience hugely. The visit of the Meals
may result in the addition Of very de-
sirable citizens for the valley.
Among other campers who have
fingered at East Side Park were Oscar
lWikes, of Manson, Wash, Pete ThOmp-
son and family, of Waterville, and H
H. Harkins. who drove through from
Pine River, Mimi. in Star car Mr.
Harkins is very much pleased with
the country and says he will locate
here, after which he will go back and
bring his family.
Both the City Park and the East
Side Park have proved to be conven-
lent and attractive camping grounds
for many auto travellers already this
season, and the Commercial Club OF
other civic bodies should make it q
point that the parks are provided with
levery convenience for the accommoda
Ition of these eXcursiOnists.

THE 4TH AT OROVILLE.

There is little to say about the 4th
at Oroville, for the few people left in
town on that date simply loafed the
time away. 1t was certainly safe and
sane 4th, and would have been In
tensely enjoyed by those who remain
ed at home mad 1t not been for the
fatal accident that threw gloom over
the town and brought sorrow to wife
and child. Dramatically the day was
ideally perfect. In many years resi-
dence in Okanogan county we do not
remember a more delightful 4th. The
sun was warm. but a cool breeze pre-
vailed throughout the day, and that
breeze was so mild as to hardly cast
ripple on the water. Most OF tle
citizens were off in autos, large rep
resentation going to Okanogan. The
town escaped the expense, the labor,
the noise and smeary milling of a
celebrating crowd, and the exhaustion
and tired feeling that follows the next
day after entertaining large gath
ering.

ANY BOY CAN Do IT.

Where there is a will tnere is way.
If boy sets his heart upon any given
object and has the stamina to drive
for that object he is going to attain 1t,
barring unforeseen sickness or acci-
dent. Every once in q while the world
has shining examples of young men
winning out against almost unsur-
mountable obstacles, and no given To-
cality has monopoly upon these eX-
amples. And these examples are re-
futation of the oft repeated statement
that "a boy has no chance nowadays
of getting on in the world"
There is a case of this kind right
here at home that should be an ex-

ambition of winning out in this life's
struggle Sydney Johnson, son Of Mr.

ranch ON Wanicut lake, and such a
ranch that livelihood was only pos

heard to tell his father that he was
going to have an education even If the
father could not help him secure it
The desire was there all right but the
ability on the part of the father to
give more than meagre assistance was
lacking. This did not discourage the

championship, Dad Martin, manager OF
the Oroville team, invited the contend
ers to play off the games at Oroville,
on neutral grounds, offering the clubs
all the net receipts. The only fair way
of deciding the question Of supremacy
is to play on neutral grounds. and II
Okanogan and Tonasket accepts the
invitation to play here they will play

has ever attended ball game in the

METHODIST CHURCH.

A profitable study Of Americans is
to carefully note the character OF
those that signed the Declaration OF
independence in 1915. Long ago they
have been called "the immortal fifty
six" Thomas jefferson who wrote the
Declaration, was versed in the scrip
lures. His public addressed and lec-
lures contained many reverent refer
ences to God, his prayer book lay. close
at hand on his desk, he knew the great
hymns of the church, he held that the
individual or the nation could achieve
greatness only by doing the will OF
God. We urge therefore, that no boy
or girl should grow up without the in
fluence of the Sunday school. Be pres.
