in this place, struck out Saturday to
fill dates for professional services in
the east part of the county.
More trout have been taken from
Toats cOula creek this summer than
any previous year. One party camp
ing out on the stream for a week or so
caught over 500. The lower stretches
of the stream are almost fished out, and
in order to catch any trout at all the
sportsman must go we'll up in the noun
tains above the forks.
Carl Hamilton, who served during
the past summer as deputy assessor
made trip to Oroville this week. He

sessment next year.
Mrs. Fred Schramm left Friday last
for her former home in Michigan City.
Ind At the time of her departure she
did not know whether she would re-
turn or remain east. 1t is possible that
Mr.. Schramm will follow this fall and
relocate at his old home.
Next Friday and Saturday are the
dates for the proposed harvest carnival,
and from what can be learned it is safe
to predict that there will be one of the
largest crowds present ever seen in
Loomis. All of the outdoor features
are of a character that will draw, and
it is the purpose of those in charge to
give visitors the worth of their money.
There has been no especial attraction
in the northern part of the county this
summer to draw people together, and
the forthcoming carnival will have
features to please and entertain. Con-
siderable interest is centering on the
boxing contest. While it will be a
friendly bout the two principals met
once before in draw, and this time
each fighter proposes to go in to win.
1t will be a hot scrap and no hippo
drome about it.

Sunday in town looking after business

cases of sickness about the camp, es-
pecially among children.

proving.
DR.. Schwabland was called from

Word has been received that Mr..
and Mrs. H. r. Gregg, who left here
some months ago to locate in Califor-
mia, have decided that there is no coun-
try like this north country, and have
hiked back as far as Portland. Writ
ing to friend Mr.. Gregg says: eve
have decided not to remain in this
southern country. 1t is nice, however,
delightful climate and unsurpassed as
place of residence, but for rough
and ready place in which to make
money nothing eclipses the north"
His friends here trust he may again
locate in Washington, and somewhere
in this part of Washington.
