The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1923-08-09

Mr. Harding belongs to a lesser
Presidential group, but whether at
the foot of that class or at its head
may be a matter for debate. His
two great achievements would entitle
him to higher rank, were they char
acteristic Of him, rather than unusual
and spasmodic divergences from his
customary expressions of personality.
Leaving them out of consideration, ne
concluded his term as he began it, an
average American, thinking average
American thoughts, seeing his count
ry and the world with average Ameri-
can eyes. His rise TO the Presidency
illustrates anew the fact that the
United States is the land of political
as we'll as business opportunity.
Mr.. Harding's strength as a poiti-
cal candidate was due as much to the
fact that he was an average man as
to party competition. He fitted the
political situation of 1920, and it may
be said that he exceeded the expe, Ia
tons of the country, on the whole,
and proved to many a pleasant disap-
pointment. That he would have been
renominated has seemed for months
like a foregone conclusion. That he
would have been reelected few Of his
most faithful partisans have predict
ed recently. Perhaps he has been
saved from a great heartbreak.
AS we view him with the charity
with which death invests all men, he
does not develop into one of the great
figures on our national canvas, nor
does he become so insignificant as
cynical critics have painted him. He
was a man of the middle mental
class whom long familiarity with
public affairs had given a certain
aptitude of expression and wide
knowledge Of popular currents; who
acquitted himself in a trying Office
much better, in the main, than most
persons had expected. He was kindly,
amiable and pleasant gentleman
whose personal qualities endeared
him to all who met him. Il was his
fortune or misfortune to be cast for
the leadership of the leading country
Of the world at a period of great
stress and perpleXity. If he was not
one Of the greatest o. our Prcsiden-
tial line, possibly the greatest might
have feared to face sdch task as
fell to him.

A PIONEER MINER.

Geo. NJ. Milbury left this week for
vancouver, b. c., where he will Join
sister living In a suburb of that
large and attractive city and make his
future home, if he finds that the eli
mate agrees with him. Mr.. Milbury has
sold his place in the extreme south
part OF the town, consisting of IL lots
to Mr. WOrthington, who also bought
from Milo Hicks the adjoining block,
Mr.. Milbury is pioneer resident of
toe north part Of the county. He re-
sided for years at LOOmis, and during
all these years was engaged in mining.
The old boy is somewhat broken at
the present time, the result of spend
ing so much of his life underground,
but his physical condition has never
affected his jolly good nature. Perhaps
there is no living man as familiar with
the mineral conditions OF Palmer
mountain as Geo. Milbury. and no one
could convince him that there is not
plenty Of mineral bearing ore in that

the history of mining in the northwest

ployed In driving that mile of tunnel.
nor even the manager himself, more
familiar with every foot of the ground
and the numerous lodges cut dur
ing the progress of the work. He
knows where the ore was cut in that
tunnel. some of 1t carrying free gold,
but he says that owing to the intense
hardness Of the country rock 1t would
be question whether It would pay to
follow up those ledges Mining for Mr..
Milbury is thing Of the past but in
his day he was a good one in any
position in which he was placed, and
aside from his efficiency as miner he
is one of the kindest-nearted, most
genial. most likable Of all Of those old
time miners of earlier days, of whom
no one had a word to say but words
of kindness. May the old boy pass his
days and many of them. in
peace and comfort is the wish of one
who has known him long and we'll.

FOURTH OF JULY AT OKANOGAN.

Just to help out a neighbor the
Gazette has had occasion from week
to week to give publicity to the cele-
bration that is to take place at Okla
hogan on the Sd, 4th, and 5th Of
July. The celebration is given under
the name OF 'Rodeo", wnich in the
vanacular Of the range means
roundup, but this celebration is 60
ing to be more than roundup There
will be horses galore, wild riding and
other stunts common to kindred gath
erings, but there is to be a diversified
program OF sports that will keep the
crowd in good humor, while supplying
entertainment. The celebration COM
mences a week from next Tuesday,
and as this paper has suggested be-
fore those wno want to take an out
ing on the Fourth Of July could not do
better tlan to run down to Okanogan
and join our neighbors in making
their effort a big success.

WILL TEACH AT NOOKSACK.

1t. was supposed that J. e. Miles
would resume his old position In the
public schools next fall, which he has
filled so admirably for the past two
years, but it would seem that he has
decided to change his field of teaching
activities, as he has accepted. an at
tractive position with the public
schools at Nooksack, WhatcOm county.
This place is north of and near Bell
ingham, and about as near the Can
adian boundary as Oroville. We regret
that Mr.. Miles has decided to change
his residence, and there will be many
others who will express the same SEN
timent, as Mr.. and Mrs. Miles are
delightfully."- pleasant people and ex-
cellent citizens. Nooksack is going to
be a gamer by our loss. AS Mr.. Miles
still has considerable property in
terest in this locality it is hoped that
he may decide to return here to maze
fis permanent home at some future
date

GAME OF BALL AT OLIVER.

The Oroville ball team will motor
up to Oliver Sunday and play a re-
turn game with the team at that
place. In the game here Sunday be-
tween the two teams the visitors gave
evidence that they can play ball, and
IL Is to be expected that Oliver will
strengthen its team for the next con-
test and put up better offensive and
Gtfrnaive exhibition. Oroville will al
so be strengthened by the return of
Balmes' who has been out Of the game
Tor some weeks owing to a bruised
hand. All who can do so should drive
up to Oliver Sunday and help the
boys make winning. Anyhow the trip
Is worth taking as it will give those
who are not familiar with conditions
across the line an opportunity to see
what a vast improvement has been
made in that part of the valley dur
ing the past year.

LEAVING FOR OTHER FIELDS.

Reginald c. Dempster who with his
brother Art has been operating the
Pyrargyrite mine, better known as the
Ruby, located near Chopaka. for the
past three years, left Monday morning
for Portland to join his wife who is
visiting vita MIR. Dempster's parents.
1t is regrettable to say that with the
closing of the mine, made necessary
by the present low price of silver, the
Dempster boys have gone hence to en-
gage in mining elsewhere, and it is
just possible that they will never
again engage in mining operations in
this county. Capable and genial young
men are both of the Dempster brothers
thoroughly familiar with the mining
business, and they leave a large
number of friends in the north part of
the county who trust they may meet
with all kinds of success wherever
they may decide to locate. Mr. Demp-
ster informed us before leaving that
the mine did not close down on ac-
count of any shortage of ore, and that
no doubt at some future time, when
silver commanded more stable price,
the mine would be again in operation,
but that is an uncertain date in tle
future.

- MAKING AN ORCHARD.

M. l.. Reed. Sr,, owns some IA acres
of choice valley land on the west side
Of tle Similkameen river, short dist
ance south Of town, IL acres of which
are planted to fruit trees. Mr.. Reed
set out a large number Of trees early
this spring and fortunately for him
providence came to his rescue with
plenty Of rain, and consequently those
new trees are making marvellous
growth. We ring in the word rescue"
because Mr.. Reed had to build some
l,20O feet of flume, and had it been
dry season the teres would have suf-
fered for moisture before he could
have had the water distributed on the
land through that long stretch Of
flume. Mr.. Reed contemplates building
a home on the tract at some time in
the future, and he could hardly find
more attractive spot for a place to
spend his declining days in the whole
valley.

SOLD HIS ORCHARD TRACT.

The latter part of last week A. S.
Bushing sold his four and half acre
orchard tract in East Oroville to s. A.
Sanborn, the consideration being
$4,000. There Is neat residence, barn
and necessary out buildings on this
place making it an ideal orchard
suburban home. Moreover, it adjoins
a tract of seven and half acres al
ready owned by Mr.. Sanborn. giving
him some IL acres of the choicest land
In the choicest orchard tract in tle
Okanogan valley. The tract sold by
Mr.. Bushing Is Set out in commercial
apples that are in bearing, producing
from 1900 to 1000 boxes annually
The only unwelcOme feature of this
deal is that the transfer means the
loss of Mr.. Bushing to this community.
He expects to leave for the east next
week, and In his departure Oroville
loses very valuable citizen. Mr..
Bushing owns farm near the city Of
Nashville, Tennessee, and he will
probably settle down there and make
his permanent home, and he has not
enjoyed a permanent home for some
time as he has been interested here at
Oroville for a number OF years and
his divided interests has required his
travelling to and fro all these years.
He certainly derived one benefit from
these frequent trips, for it has given
him an opportunity to become pretty
well acquainted with the country be-
tween the shores Of the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans. During the period that
he has been interested in OrOville
property he has made several trans
continental trips, and making 1t
point to try every railroad line ex-
tending westward he has travelled over
every one of these roads except the
Santa Fe, and this includes the Can
adian Pacific. Having covered all OF
the northern, eastern and central part
of the Union, when he returns TO
Nashville he will go from here to
Seattle, take steamer there for San
Francisco and then take the Southern
Pacific for Nashville by the way OF
New Orleans. Mr.. Bushing does not
sell out here because he has lost con-
fidence in the Oroville district. Far
from it. He believes this locality mas
a great future and that within Few
years it will become one OF the most
prosperous sections of the west. But
he has larger and more valuable in
terests in the south that require his
personal attention, and he could not
afford to neglect the greater to pay
personal attention to the lesser. Mr.
Bushing will take with MIN the best
wishes Of a large circle Of friends and
as he Is still a young man the hope is
entertained that at some future time
he may decide to return to the golden
west. which still has a warm corner
in his heart. and take up his residence
permanently.

Is TO GO TO IDAHO.

G. l.. Armstrong. better known
among his familiars as "Bing", arriv-
ed from Spokane Monday by auto to
visit with his family, and incidentally
attend the wedding of G. F. Pittman
and Miss Eliza Grathwold Mr.. Arm
strong has been at Spokane for some
weeks, but the Gazette nas hestated
mentioning his absence in the hopes
that eventually he would decide to
continue a resident of Oroville, in
which he has interests and many,
many friends there are entertained
the same hope held by the Gazette. 1t
now looks as though Oroville was to
lose Mr.. Armstrong and his admirable
family from the following item taken
from the Spokesman-Revie under
Lewiston, Idaho, date line &c. L.
Armstrong, of Spokane, formerly in
the banking business at Oroville,
Washington, and recently connected
with the Ehrhardt Investment COM
pany at Spokane, has accepted a po-
sition with the Ehrhardt Investment
company, of Lewiston, Idaho, in the
mortgage department" The Gazette
has had no information upon the sub
ject from the young gentleman him
self, and is not prepared to say as
to when the family will follow Mr..
Armstrong to the scenes of his new
activities, but the natural conclusion
to be drawn is that at some future
date the Armstrong family will take
up their residence in Lewiston. If
Oroville must lose the Armstrong; it
is some satisfaction to know that Mr..
Armstrong has secured an attractive
position. Mr.. and Mrs. Armstrong will
leave here sincerely regretted, as they
are people who would make valuable
to any community.

TO REOPEND BAKERY.

Ray Weed. our local baker who
turns out bread that cannot be excell-
ed, whenever he escapes fire long
enough to kneed and bake bread. has
arranged to take over the small build
ing at the northeast corner of Gen.
tral avenue and Main street, which
Will be Overhauled and turned into a
bakery. Mr.. Weed has been playing in
hard luck ever since he started In to
establish bakery in Oroville. He
commenced operations in the Grieger
building. east of the Hotel de Grubb,
but that being off the regular beaten
track OF travel his wares were never
fairly introduced. He then took one of
the store rooms in the old Peerless
hotel. His bread soon won a reputa-
ton among OrOville consumers and he
was building up flourisling busi-
ness when the fire fiend came butting
in, year ago last winter, and he lost
all he had and was temporarily put
out of business. Finally he secured a
location in the Frank building, on
Main street, and in the latter part Of
May that building went up in smoke
pretty largely, and Mr.. Weed was
again put out of business. He expects
to soon be in business again, and as
all those who have used his bread are
satisfied with no other 1t can be ex-
pected that he will soon regain all the
trade that was lost when fire knocked
him down and out His dogged persis-
tency in the face Of such discourage
ment is worthy of a handsome reward
and we believe that he will reap that
reward in the way Of greatly in
creased patronage when he is once
more prepared to serve the public.

.C0RKERY IN LEAD,
YET MAY LOSE
Race Very Close with a Fiehtine
Chance for Myers According to
Latest Reports.

Al the time Of going to press. the
result of the primary election was
sui IN doubt VITA the race so close
between Corkery and Myers that the
winner may have to be settled by the
official count. At last reports Cookery
led Myers by 107, with a number of
country precincts still to hear from.
and as the country precincts have al
most invariably given Mr.. Myers the
largest vote he may nose out in the
final count. COrkery had heavy lead
IN Spokane, but every one of the coun-
.ties in the district outside of Spo-
zane gave Myers majority over
rorkery. Okanogan and Lincoln coun-
les especially gave Myers handsome
support. Smith was third In the race.
Miss Hurn followed with Rosenhaupt
Morgan and Westfall trailing along
|in the order given. On the democratic
side Harris did not know he was run
ming, as Hill received twenty votes
to Harris's one.
The apathy Of the voter was never
more conspicuously manifested than
upon the occasion of this primary.
Once the dear people clamored for the
nomination of candidates for office
through the medium of popular vote
i. e., the direct primary, claiming that
that would be more general express
sion of the wishes of the voters than
through a delegated convention. The
primary was created to meet this de-
mand, and now the voter religiously
declines to take any hand in the selec-
tion of candidates through that me-
dunn or at least vast majority of
voters refrain from participating In q
primary election. A very light vote
was polled at the general election last
yet 3S9 votes were cast I'm
the three Oroville precincts. Tuesday
those same precincts cast only 10S
votes, and that was larger percent
age of the registration than-most Of
the precincts in this county and every
other county Of the district In Chelan
county for instance, with a registra-
ton Of over $500 only trifle over

IVY: OROVILE WASHINGTON FRIDAY,
PROFITABLE BERRY CROP

MIS-. Paul Mohler reports that tho
gooseberry crop on the Mob,ar n,aao
mas oeen harvested and marketed ana
Tue crop proved to be quite profitable
WI. Mohler, upon the strength OF the
weight OF berries from a single busb
expected to harvest in the ne,pbhor-
mood or 10 tons but Mr.. Mohler rms
TO optimism which is a mie,tv yood
.rait anyhow. Mrs. Mohler's son. who
mas had the care of the patch of berr-
ies' that cover just two acres. was
somewhat more conservative and
chahced guess of ten tons Mrs
Mohler, who preferred to be pleasant-
y surprised than to be oppressive,v
disappointed declared before the cron
was gathered that she would be per.
lectiy satisfied il the yield ran eight
tons. Even naming eight tons she con-
sidered somewhat extravagant as the
Dushes are only two years old althou-
gh they produced three tons last year
AN almost three fold increase Mrs.
Mohler would have considered a fair
return from two acres. With all the
crop weighed in and shipped, and
shipped by parcel post by-the-way,
the yield reached something over II
tons. Probably there was an unpreven.
table loss one way and another of
sufficent to round out a strong l2|
tons. But eleven tons bringing in
$l,76O can be set down as pretty
profitable crop. especially when It is
taken into consideration that there
is probably less labor in growing and
harvesting gooseberries than any
other crop that can be grown.
