A REAL PION EEK.

Fred. j. Fine was taken as complete
ly by surprise as he ever was in his
life Thursday evening of last week by
the unexpected arrival of his mother,
Mrs. H. l.. Fine, in company with her
sister Miss Frances Walter, from Pres
colt. Mrs. Fine is here to spend sew
eral weeks with her son and daughter
in-law. When the subject of pioneers
is under consideration Mrs. Fine is en-
titled to the honor of being numbered
among the oldest. He father, w. w.
Walter, arrived in California in 1919,
moving few years later to Oregon,
in which state Mrs. Fine was born, and
settled on the Touchet, in Walla Walla
county, in 1860. He died only about
IA year ago, full of years and hon
ors, revered and respected. Mrs. Fine
is now living on the original home
stead located by her father so many
years ago. In 1861 Mr.. Walter set out
the first fruit trees ever planted on the
TOuchet, and he purchased the nur-
sery stock from the father of the Fruit
brothers, now residents of Oroville,
who then lived at Walla Walla. That
sure is going some for ancient history.
Mrs. Fine has lived to see Washington
grow To be great and pOpulous state
from a period when the land was oc-
cupied almost wholly by wild beasts
and savage men. Time has delt gen
tly with her, and despite the fact that
she experienced the hardships common
to pioneer life in her younger days,
and has raised very large family, the
lady is in excellent health, cheerful
spirits and does not show evidence of
advancing age.

accounts. Mr.. Forde in recent years
has acquired large land interests that
require his close personal attention,
and he is desirOus of getting out of the
store in order to look after that prop.
erty. Mr.. Ellis has all he can attend
to with the company's stores at Wen
atchee, Chelsn and Cashmere, and
cnnnot possibly give his time and at
tention to the business up here. 1t is
not case of lack of confidence in the
place, but necessity that has grown
out of enlarged interests elsewhere.
The Washington Commercial COM
pany is the Oldest house doing business
in the place. The old store in the
lower part of the present town was the
rallying place and trading point for
the people of the surrounding country
long before the advent of the railroad.
A stock has been accumulated really
too large for the size of the place, and
it became necessary to get the money
tied up out Of the business, for the big
stock is to be absolutely sacrificed.
That is what the company has now set
out to do, and the sonsumer in Oroville
and vicinity will receive the advantage
of prices such as they never before
dreamed of.

OUT OE BUSINESS.

The public announcement has been
made that j. Frank Samson has dis
posed of his interest in the Washing
ton Commercial company, land no change
in commercial circles could create
more surprise, or regret, among the
ole timers not alone of Oroville, but
the whole of the northern part of the
county. Few men are better known,
no man better liked, in this upper
country than Frank Samson. He has
been identified with the old OrOville
Trading company, and later Washing
to Commercial company, since it's in
ception. In 1896 Mr.. Samson was coun-
ty school uperintendent, a position he
held for two terms, and was teaching
the Loomis school when Jas. f. Forde
and Geo. H. Ellis purchased the only
store then in the diminutive cross
roads hamlet of Oroville, owned by F.
S. Beale, and Mr.. Samson was induced
to enter the store. He became inter-
ested in the firm, and has remained
with it up to the present time. Mr..
Samson has no idea of leaving Oro-
vile. His home is here, his interests
ale here, and he has too much faith in
its future to leave at time when its
outlook is the very brightest. In a
few months Mr. Samson will again be
interested in business venture in
Oroviile is our prediction.

IT WAS WORTH THE MONEY.

Nof,rowd ever enjoyed base ball
game more ullan did the gathering Of
people that looked upon the struggle
for supremacy between the profession
al and business men of Oroville last
Sunday afternoon. A storm broke up
the proceedings early in the trouble,
but that did not dampen the ardor of
the athletes, and the fun proceeded
Among the players were many who
had handled the ball and bat with no
mean skill in years gone by, but long
absence from the diamond left them
green to the game, and hardly grOomed
up to meet the strain of great physical
exercise. The various participants
came in for much good natured roast
ing and guying, and the umpire had
the time of his life. And it was by no
means poor game. Some of the old
boys were triie shaky hanging on to
flies, and not altogether accurate get
ting the ball to a base, yet the score
was kept down to reasonable figures,
and some sharp plays were mixed up
with the others that were a shade off
color. The business men feel that
they could do better with another trial,
and second meeting is "a possibility of
the future. The following is the score

THE REWARD IN SIGHT.

Henry d. James, of milwaukee, came
in from the east Thursday evening, and
after spending several days at the
Nighthawk mine, left in company with
j. F. Baldridge, of Columbus, Ohio,
for Newcome, Idaho, where the gen.
tleman is interested with others in
gold mine proposition recently pur-
chased. While Mr.. James has been on
the sick list during the past winter, he
still was looking we'll when he reached
Oroville, and reported as having i'm
proved very much since leaving home.
Mr.. James was resident of Spokane
in early days, and was attracted to the
Okanogan country as far back as 1887,
driving from Spokane to the Similka-
meen. For years he has been con-
nected with the Nighthawk mine, and
has been largely instrumental in rails
ing the funds that have kept the prop
erty going. At times it has been up
hill work, and the struggle would have
discouraged man of less energy, but
he kept pounding away and the mine
is in position where he seems to be
on the eve of seeing his work crowned
with success. 1t certainly will be if he
is spared to carry out the plans of
deeper development he has in contem-
plation.

DISTINGUISHED VISITORS.

The State Railroad Commission COM
posed of Messrs. Lawrence, Fairchild
and Jones, with their secretaries and
legal advisors, spent an hour in Oro-
vile Monday morning. The commits
sion is making the grand rounds, visit
ing every railroad station in the state.
The party travelled in a special train,
and on this end of the route Larry
Mority guided the engine, and the train
was in charge of Conductor Z. 2. Bo-
tow. r. G. Morgan, division superin-
tendent, and M. J. CASTILLO, assistant
traffic manager of the road, were with
the party. The train passed through
to Chopaca at 4 O'Clock Monday morn
ing, and working back toward Spokane
arrived here at a. m. The members
Of the commission met number of
citizens. The commission is out to
hear grievances, and to correct them
SO far as it is in their power. An ap-
peal was made here for railroad
crossing, but the commission pointed
out that this was beyond their juris-
diction, as that matter can be settled
only in the courts through condemna-
tion proceedings. Otherwise the pub
lie here registered no kick. AS there
are many stations to visit and time
limited, the commission could not waste
much time swapping social pleasantries
with the population.

CLOSING OUT BUSIN ESS.

1t will be seen by conspicuous adver-
tisement in this issue that the Wash
ington Commercial company is selling
out it's entire stock. This is no fake
sale, but real determination to close
out very lage and complete stock Of
general merchandise. The winding
up of the business is not owing to any
lack of confidence In OrOville, or its
future. James E. Forde and Geo. H.
Ellis, jr., are the largest stockholders
and the personnel of the old company
has dwindled down to only three per-
sons. Mr.. j. F. Samson has Withdrawn

Last Saturday afternoon fire totally
destroyed the home of Robt Garrett,

DUB COLD SPELLS.


Not since 1895 has Salt Lake experienced
such a cold spell in early September as
that which, during the past two days,
caused people to ransack clothes closets
for winter topcoats and wraps. The table
given above shows the dates in Septem-
Der, since 1873, when Wintry blasts have
inaugurated the early fall season.
By a glance at the table it win be seen
that the coolest day in early September
since the weather bureau was established,
about thirty-five years ago, was on Sep
TENDER 10, 1884, when the thermometer
registered 81 degrees
These past records of low temperature
probably occurred about or just before
sunrise" said j. Cecil Alter of the local
weather bureau yesterday. However, the
minimum of Saturday Sept II, this year,
40 degrees, occurred about Y o'clock, noon,
and prevailed until the last of the half
days rain, about 1 p m, making what is
probably the monday record for Salt
Lake City up to this date in September"
