LAUNDRY OPENS MONDAY.

If nothing intervenes to upset the
calculations of the proprietor, the
Oroville Steam Laundry will open for
business Monday. Mr.. Anderson has
been at very heavy expense equipping
the plant, and has one of the most
complete laundries to be found in any
of the smaller towns of the state.
Moreover, he has secured the services
of an experienced operator and will be
prepared to do work equal in every
respect to that turned out by the best
laundry in Spokane. The want of a
wash house has been seriously felt in
Oroville for months, and now that that
want is filled the public should extend
all the support and encouragement
within their means, and it will require
liberal support to make the venture
profitable, considering the large in
itial cost and the heavy expense of
operation.

WORKING UP BUSINESS.

Guy S. Helphrey, of the mercantile
firm of Helphrey Bros, of Curlew, was
in Oroville Friday last. A few years
ago there prevailed fad for estab-
fishing creameries throughout this part
of the state, and many were the com
munities that fell heir to white ele-
phant. Dealers in creamery plants
were eloquent in depicting the advan-
tages such establishments are to a
place, and could readily figure out a
fortune for the operators. People took
the hook with avidity. Without exam
ming into the merits of the opposition,
without making even superficial eX-
animation into the possibilities of a
supply of raw material, without any
knowledge whatever of the practical
part of the business, companies were
formed and large amounts invested in
plants. After the fever accompanying
the excitement occasioned by doing
something to advance the interests OF
the town in which they lived had
abated the stockholders found them
selves loaded up with a collection OF
junk that for all practical purposes, SC
far as the company was concerned; was
useless. The dealers in creamery ma
chinery had the laugh: the investors
were enriched by experience. A plant
of this kind was unloaded upon Curlew,
and it remained useless adjunct tC
the place until Mr.. Helphrey jumped
into the breach, took charge of the
business, and by his push and energy
made it paying institution. The
Curlew creamery turns out good but
ter, lots of it and ships long distances
in filling orders. AS side issue the
institution has gone into the manufac.
turing of ice cream, and is building ur
large business in that line. Mr..
Helphrey's mission out on the road,
and he extended his travels as far as
Princeton, was to establish agencies
for handling the Curlew brand of ice
cream. 1t has a reputation of being a
shade smoother than anything of the
kind made in the state. While here
he arranged with Jay Newell to handle
the frozen delicacy at this place.

stance between the points to be con-

of the allotments, work is going ahead
without delay, other than such inter.

been in evidence during the past week.
or course, the extent and activity of
operations is not what it will be when
spring fsirly opens up, but advantage
is taken of every favorable opportunity
and considerable of showing has been
made along the line in spite of the
weather handicap. There is no lack
of things doing at this end of the
branch. Oroville is the main head
quarters of the chief contractors and
from this point is drawn the supplies
and material, vast quantities of which
have accumulated here during the
winter. Distribution of supplies goes
on every day, and long professions of
wagons loaded with everything neces-
sary for carrying on work, and provid-
ing for The wants of men and animals
are to BE seen pulling out of town
nearly every day. This work of un-
loading Ears and reloadiug wagons SUP
plies employment for good many
men, and gives the grounds about the
depot an animated appearance. People
here are getting used to it, but the
hustle attracts the attention of the
stranger and convinces him that he
has struck country that is going to
experience a prosperous summer.

WINTER LINGERING.

While not in the predicting business
to any great extent, this paper CHANGED
the promise when the days of February
commenced spinning off the reel that
there was liable to be some cold
weather before winter let go his grip.
Notwithstanding the mildness of the
last of January. The promise has been
amply fulfilled, for not only has the
weather been of the variety to be eX-
pected at this season of the year, but
February has provided the coolest
snaps of the winter. Friday last the
thermometers registered from to )
degrees below zero, the lowest point
reached this season, and Sunday night
saw the drop and went dogree or
two better. Sunday night and Mon
day were the most disagreeable of the
entire winter, for besides the extreme
cold stiff gale ripped and roared
down from the north, driving the chill
through and through any one that was
compelled to be out of doors. 1t was
probably the last bell from the ice
king, although it is not altogether safe
to intimate that flowers will be in bloom
next week, nor to advise people to air
their summer raiment tor immediate

the trouble the railroad contractors
were experiencing in crossing Indian
allotments that railroad work along
the entire line between Oroville and
Pateros was entirely suspended, the
movement of men, supplies and grad
