was no opportunity for betting on it, as

\ NEW LAW FIRM.

This Office had call Monday from
Fred 7. Neal, of Tonasket and a mem
Der of the law firm of Grant x Neal.
The breath was knocked so completely
out of We editor when meeting the ma
ture and intelligent looking young gen
tleman that he has hardly come out of
the daze, for when he last saw Fred
Neal prancing around Davenport he
was sturdy lad in knickerbockers. He
is son of Judge {. H. Neal, at one
time Judge of this district, and looks
the making of a successful lawyer. He
is in with old time Billy Grant, of
Loomis, and the firm has pre-empted a
location at the new town of Ton
asket, where Mr.. Neal now sits under
the shadow of the firm shingle, to be
joined by the senior partner later in
the fall. May the young man expand
and grow in worldly possessions with
the country.

JAS. VI WALKER MARRIED.

An item is going the rounds to the
effect that James NJ. Walker, of White
stone Flat and Mrs. Almira Magee, of
Waterville, were recently married,
That is long legged genial old jim
Walker, one of the pioneers of the fiat,
and the biggest hearted rancher to be
found in seventy-seven counties. He
was nosing around town few weeks
ago, and never muttered a word about
cutting loose from bachelorhood, where

it was supposed he was confirmed
fixture, and hence when the announce
ment was first made it was not realized
that it was kindly old Jim with the
single blessedness habit. He has acted
wisely, even if he waited long time
to turn the trick, and now that he has
made the plunge may fortune smile on
him and his throughout a long and
happy life.

Clerk of the Town of Oroville

TINS paper does not take much stock
in the straw ballot, because it is gen.
orally regulated by the bias of the
party footing the totals. But vote
was taken as to choice for United
States senate at gathering of people
near the Ruby mine on the 4th, which
was announced in the presence of the
voters, so protest could have been en-
tered if the returns were fixed. The
vote shows how the wind trends up
this way, Every ballot was for Hon.
John l.. Wilson.

NJ. LAUDER, who now makes Loomis
his headquarters, was in Oroville Fri
day last, looking as though the world
was treating him kindly. He says
local squabbles over at the camp keep
people awake, but otherwise it is quiet
and restful. Which is quite different
from old days when people pulled to-
gether, and the camp the liveliest in
the west.
