ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS,

SO far quite a number of residents of
Oroville have taken in the Seattle en-
position. If every town in the state
contributes the same number of visit
ors in proportion to population that
Oroville has, and will, pretty large
per centage of the inhabitants will
have visited the fair by the time its
gates are closed.
Mrs. John Barman and young daught-
er stopped over in Oroville last Fri

position, which she pronounces grand
beyond description.

come a permanent resident.
DR.. c. p. House returned home last
Thursday evening after a trip on the
outside extending over considerable
territory, although he did not reach
the coast, the Mecca of all outward
bound pilgrims just at this time. From
the length and breadth of the smile
he carries around it is safe guess that
the doctor enjoyed the excursion.
The toasting days have evidently ar
rived, and the sun will have hot in
ming for eight or ten weeks. AS this
is the season when something of this
nature is to be expected, the public
would be disappointed if the grilling
was to be left out. 1t will soon be
over, and, anyhow, it is not bad to take
in comparison with the chill that was
handed out last January.
Geo. W. King, who has been pulling
the throttle on the Keremeos run for
the past year, left Saturday morning

may come back to this end before the
summer is over.
A. W. Hyde, who has had charge of
the telegraph office at the place for
the past eighteen months, made a trip

liminary to the Mr.. Hyde's early de-
parture to other fields. The young
man has always been a courteous and
accommodating official, making many
friends in Oroville, and he will carry
with him the best wishes of those
friends for his future welfare and sue
cess in life.
