dissolveS and eats away the solid
salts. What strikes the visitor to this
underground cavity is the astounding
showing of crystal salts, which under
tests run yS per cent pure. While the
breast of the tunnel looks nard and
leels hard, yet no drills are used IN
preparing holes fOr the powder. The
holes are put in with long augur,
and the augur bites its way in to the
formation almost as freely as 1t would
penetrate board.
Next to the salts itself the quantity
is the marvel of all who visits the lake.
Calculating from the surface area anu
the thickness Of the deposit it is fig
lured tnat the lake contains at least
OF. 900 tons Of salts. Furthermore, the
removal Of the old deposit does not
mean the exhaustion Of the supply,
entirely for nature continues 10 manu-
faclure the salts by means OF the VA
| ter that continually filters INTO tnt
| uasin, a process tnat has been going
on since the beginning OF time, or a.
least since the earth commenced tax

Ihe Gazette has already mentioned
| at length tAe ultimate aim and obJec,
of the Epso Products company III TIT
way of manufacturing the salts into
various commercial forms and 1t is
not necessary to repeat. The company
has the formulas and it has the salts
the purest salts in its natural state
so far discovered in the world. So tal
while handling a large quantity OF
.saits, the. operators have been handi-
capped by unfavorable weather. Will
the coming Of spring and summer all
Lnese drawbacks Will be eliminated
and the company be able to enter up
on the campaign Of production on
large scale and in such a manner as
they may elect to pursue. Our one
great hope just now is to see the COM
pany carry out all their plans to q
successful issue, for its success woulc
lmean incalculable benefits for Gro
vile. And aside from that seltist
view point personally we always wist
to see good fortune come TO any In
dustry, whether conducted on small
Ior large scale.

HAS MANY VIRTUES.

F. G. Mathison, general sales man
ager of the Epso Products company,
has been experimenting with several
cases where persons were suffering
from ailments tnat refused to respond
to ordinary treatment, and In each
case the salts as he applied the same
worked like a charm. 1t is an error
to say he experimental" for few men
really understood what EPSON salts
will accomplish in relieving the ill,
and Mr.. Mathison, through study and
experiment, is thoroughly familiar
with it's virtues. Mr.. Mathison is not
practitioner Of any school, nor does
he charge for the treatments he pre-
scribes. He is doing 1t because he
knows what EPSON salts will accomp-
lish in the way of restoring health
and his aim is to educate the people
so far as it is in his power so to do
EPSON salts is a cheap and easily ap'
piled remedy, and If it will do nc
| good it assuredly will do no harm anC
hence is worth trying when othel
means fail to produce desired results

OROVlLLE'S BETTER BREAD.

1t is an obsession with US. possibly
superinduced by keen loyalty to the
town from which we derive a liyeli-
hood, and in which We have lived for
many years, to believe in and boost
for trading at home and supporting
nome institutions and when we learn
OF a home industry forging ahead 1t is
a pleasure to note the same and aid
with all tle slight power at our COM
mand to keep that industry forging.
Just now the public is coming to rec
Ognize fact long known among q
certain number of consumers that
Oroville has bankery that turns out
quality of bread superior to any
bread finding its way to Oroville from
any other bakery in the state. This Is
not an extravagant statement. The
proof of the pudding is in the eating.
and if any have doubts let them test
the Oroville bread and il they are not
swayed by prejudice they will admit
that our praise of the Oroyille bread
is not overdrawn.
The Oroville bakery Is owned and
operated by Ray Weed. who first open
ed out in the old Grieger building
| some two years ago and then moved
l lnlO Ilt tttilCSS DulluluB. JuoI ho no
bread was coming on to be recognized
as the best in the market the Peerless
fire wiped out all he possessed and
he had to start in again at the bot
tom rung of the ladder. He has per-
severed and gradually worked up a
large patronage and recently that pat
ronage has increased with remarkable
rapidity. If this same support Is con-
tiued. and We believe it will be as long
as he delivers the goods, it Is his pur-
pose to put in an electric oven and
bake on a much larger scale. There
is no reason why, considering the
quality of bread he turns out, Mr..
Weed should not expand and become
, one of the important industries OF the
! county. He should be supplying all
| the towns within near reach OF ORC
Vile. There is no reason why these
towns should be sending to Spokane

IMPORTANT REPORT.

BY special request we have given
space to a full report of the annual
meeting of the Wenatchee-Okanogan
Cooperative Federation as a matter
that especially interests fruit growers.
This meeting was held week before
last, but the copy was received too
late for publication in the last issue
Of the Gazette. The report IS
straightforward statement of the ac-
tivities and accomplishments OF the
Federation, and shows that the organ
ization was successfully conducted
during one of the most trying seasons
that has ever confronted the orchard
lists of the district in which it is op-
Grating. The initial efforts OF organi'
cations of this character are not al
ways wholly satisfactory, and IN TINS
instance 1t speaks we'll for tlose who
are at the head Of the Federation, that
such a satisfactory report can be laid
before the membership.
