ever before
.neV. IL. Nj. Course returned to Orc
Viile Saturday from attending the Pres

fortunately lived but a few minutes.
Alter long absence in the Nelson

horse family, DR.. Thayer showed up on
MS old stamping ground last week.
Travel through this this place seems
heavy at this time, as hotels and lodg-
ing houses often find it difficult to sup
ply accommodations to meet the de-
mand.
a. H. Whitcher, at one time we'll
known resident of Whitestone fiat,
came In from Spokane Tuesday and
remained over night on his way to
Loomis
The dance given in Sigrist hall last
Friday evening by the Manley orches-
ira was not largely attended. The
music was excellent. and those present
had an enjoyable time.
Jas. +. Forde. writing from Spokane,
says that 1.-THE enquiries Regarding
lands around Oroville would indicate
something doing up that way soon. !"
And it cannot be any too soon.
Edward H. Caylor left for Portland
Tuesday morning, where he will visit
with brother for two or three weeks.
something may materalize of great
benefit to this section as result of
Mr.. Caylor's western visit.
E. b. Newland, of the hill up to the
eastward, passed through town Satur-
day on his way home from a trip to
Conconully. He stated that Mrs. New
land recently returned from eastern

relatives for several months.
Thomas H. Ambrose is the new immi-
grafton inspector at this place, filling
the position vacated some time ago bv
Capt Dufield. He is quite linguist.
and holds up foreigners in their own
lingo. A pleasant young gentleman is
Mr.. Ambrose, and live. wide awake
official.
John Wehe left two well formed DO
tatoes at this Office Tuesday, raised on
the mountains near Wehesville, that
would come under the head of veget-
able monsters. They measured l01a
inches long, and together weighed
over four pounds. And it was an off
year for potatoes, too.
VIM. Ford B. M. Ford, Cecil Ford
and Garnett Brown constituted party
that stopped over in Oroville Tuesday
plight, driving through to Ashcroft, b.
c., from Rubens, Idaho. The party
had had an enjoyable and uneventful
trip so far on their long overland jour
ney. They expect to remain all winter
at Ashcroft.
Geo. j. Hurley, who has been on the
outside on business trip for several
weeks, stopped over in Oroville Satur-
day night on his way to his home at
LOOMS. He was accompanied by
couple of gentlemen from Portland who
came in to look over the big fruit
growing project that Mr.. Hurley has
set on foot in the Sinlahekin valley.
Since the departure of Capt. Ruger
w. A. CRUDE, the customs officer at
Chopaka, is called upon and is trying
to cover both places. He goes up to
Chopaka on the morning train and re-
turning to Oroville is here over night.
Working double shift is pretty big
Job, and it will probably be necessary
to send in man to cover this field.
G. G. Hedger, of Republic, has taken
up the management of the Northwest
ern Power company's business at this
place vice Fl. +. Jones, who has been
transferred to Republic. Mr.. Hedger
is one of those likeable young gentle
men whom it is a pleasure to meet.
He came here to fill the place of one
who set high standard in the com
panys service, thereby winning the
confidence and esteem of the public,
and it is a satisfaction to feel that the
the new manager will dovetail in the
grove cut out by the party he succeeds.
Ever since the beginning of the sur
vev of the Oroville-Pateros branch, and
up to Saturday. the railroad engineers
have maintained an office and force in
Oroyille. Orders were received to
mt up the shutters and close the office
Saturday, and the force is to scatter to
other points where their services may
be needed except Mr.. Cowling, who
will stick to his homestead. There are
still small crews of engineers at diff
ferent points between Oroyille and Pa
teros, but they will soon be called off.
This does not look reassuring for an
early ironing of the branch.
