BACK TO DEAR OLD NEBRASKA

Fred d. Wild, who has held the po-
sition of cashier in the First National
bank of this place for the past six
months, has handed in his resignation
to the directors of the bank, and will
return with his family to Nebraska
next month"; where he is offered very
flattering and lucrative position. Dur
ing his brief residence here Mr.. Wild
has made very favorable impression
upon those whom he has met, and it is
no pleasant duty to announce that he
is to sever is connection with the town.
Mr.. Wild freely expresses the belief
that Oroville is soon to experience a
boom of considerable magnitude, and
as he aptly puts it, ''lt is time for
people to come to Oroville, not to go
away" Besides the opportunity Of
fered that insures large material ben
efits, Mr.. Wild has private reasons
that carry much weight in the decision
formed of returning east.

A FAITHFUL OFFICIAL.

Capt. A. NJ. Dutfield, who has filled
the position of emigrant inspector at
this place for several years, will ask u
lay off from active duty for some
months. and will return to his old home
on the coast to reside permanently.
This change is made on account of the
poor health of Mrs. Duffield, and the
change has been recommended by her
physician. Moreover the son of Capt.
and Mrs. Duffield lives on the coast and
both are anxious to be with him and
his family. This decision of Capt. Du-
field will be read with feelings of real
and sincere regret by many residents
of Oroville. He has filled the office he
holds with zeal and credit, and has won
the confidence and respect of his super
visors in the service. sHe has been
prompt, active and efficient in the per-
formance of his duties, and while firm
in the enforcement of the laws that he
was put here to see carried into exc
cution, he has done so in kindly and
gentlemanly way. Personally he Is
pleasant, jovial and likeable gentle
man, and he will be sorely missed by
those who have come in almost daily
contact with him. May the change
restore the lady to better health, and
may the captain fall into a more. re-
job on the west side is the
wish of this paper.

FOUND DEAD.

Wednesday morning j. Magnus Jen-
sen was found dead in his cabin, just
north of Antoine valley, some 10 miles
southeast of Oroville. H. l.. King, a
neighbor, called at Jensen's cabin, and
not receiving any reply to knock en-
tered the door and was Mortified at
discovering Jensen lying dead across
his bed. He was fully dressed, not
even having removed his gloves. Jen-
sen had visited at a neighboring ranch
a few days before the last time he was
seen alive, and it is presumed that he
arrived home exhausted, and throwing
himself across the bed died with
out struggle. The deceased was ;
sufferer from consumption and M
doubt died from heart failure super
induced by the disease.

A GRAND TURN OUT.

AS evidence of the interest the pub
lie takes in the rehabilitation of the
band, and the willingness to lend as
sistence in keeping up the organiza-
tion, Sigrist hall was jammed even be-
yond the point of comfort last Friday
evening on the occasion of the band
benefit ball. From the size of the
gathering it looked as though the town
had turned out en- maSse, and indeed
few who heel and toe to the merry mu-
sic of the fiddle were missing in the
throng. The instrumental inspiration
was unusually good, and the band DEM
onstrated that the members had not
forgotten how to finger the frets after
the long rest. The event was so sue
cessful that it was announced during
the evening that the dance would be
repeated next Monday evening, Febru-
airy q, at which time the full band
will render the greater portion of the
dance music. Those who were pres
ent last Friday night will make it a
point to be on hand next time, as sell
dom is so much pleasure crowded into
one month, and short month at that.

that the people of the camp that would
be so greatly benefited by the making
of a single paying mine will watch the
progress of development at the Brooks
claims with anxious interest. Those
familiar with the country have not en-
tirely lost faith in the mineral possi
bilities, but have become somewhat
discouraged with the methods that
have been employed that could hardly
end otherwise than they did, in failure.
Incompetency and extravaganza leave
monuments to disappointment in every
mining country under the sun. Better
results are hoped for from this new
enterprise

DEATH OF AN OLD PROSPECTOR.

The Eagle lodge of Loomis received
word the latter part of last week that
Roger Finen, of that place, had died
in Los Angeles Wednesday, and under
instructions from the lodge of which
the deceased was member, the re-
mains were cared for and buried in the
southern city by the Eagles. The
deauh of Roger Finen removes another
of the old-time prospectors and miners
of Northern Okanogan county. For a
score of years Geo. Paskell and Roger
Finen were associated together as part
nels in mining operations, and they
lived together near Wehesville for
years. 1t was a Damon and Pythias

NEW LEASE OF LIFE.

The Eagle aerie at Loomis is UNDER
going resurrection, and almost as
much interest is being manifested as
when the order was first organized, al
though there is not as much material
to work on as in the lively days of that
camp. The first lodge of Eagles in the
county was organized at Loomis, and
almost the entire male population of
the place and adjacent country was
taken into the fold. At one time the
membership reached far beyond the
hundred mark, and the institution was
in such hourishing financial condition
that it built one of the largest and
most complete halls in the county. In
terest tagged, however, as years
slipped by, and many members moved
away. Still there were loyal members
who kept up the organization, and al
though meetings became few and wide
apart the charter was never surren-
dered. In its time the aerie has done
much good in the way of extending aid
to members sick and in distress, and
has paid out hundreds of dollars in sick
benefits and funeral expenses. For
the good deeds they have performed in
spirit of fraternity and charity, the
Eagles of Loomis deserve full meas
ure of praise and commentator. 1t is
reported that there is marked reviv-
al of activity in the aerie just now, and
number of new members are being
initiated. May the aerie endure for
ever, continuing the noble work that
has marked its existence.

ENTERTAINERS AT LOOMS.

The people of Loomis and vicinity
are in for treat as the ladies of Pur-
itan Circle, Women of Woodcraft, of
that place have arranged to give an
entertainment in Eagle hall Saturday
evening, February 26. There will be
a comedy, singing and recitations by
home talent. Fuller particulars next

pleasing the customer and at the same
time giving the working force every
convenience for carrying on his labor
to the greatest advantage. The new
and most attractive establishments of
the kind in the county, and would be a
credit to large city.
The adjoining room to the south, in
the same block, is similar in dimen-
sions to that occupied by the meat
market, and it is to be used by Fred
Clark and Bob Hoose as restaurant,
and such an eating place as Oroville
has never before seen. The boys are
going to large expense in furnishing
and fitting up this place of gastron-
omical entertainment, and when ready
to open to the public, the public will find
it a resort worthy of patronage. Car
penters are busy getting the interior
in shape, and the proprietors are as
sembling the tools that are required
by the head of the culinary depart
ment in responding to the demand of
the palates of those who come to buy.
1t was the hopes of the proprietors to
open on the Goth of this month, but
unavoidable delays will compel post
poning the opening until later date.
AS the proposed improvements are not
complete, nor furnishings in place, nc
description of the entire establishment
can be given, but it is safe to say that
when once ready for business it will be
the Davenport restaurant of Okanogar
county, as there is nothing now in com
mission within the county that will
compare with it.

company has been in the habit of hand

combinations of maple slabs on piano
legs, the cases in which the tempting
tidbits are displayed, and the glass
counter and metal bar hooks are of the
