The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1910-07-29
Clerk of the Town of Oroville

The Oroville ball club has received
new uniforms, and they are about as,
neat as anything of the kind ever seen
on diamond. The color is maroon,
with white stockings, belts and caps.
1t is certainly swell combination.
With two handsomely uniformed mines
Oroville is prepared to put up ball en-
hibitiOns worth while at any time.
A practice game of ball was played
Sunday afternoon between the Regu-
lars and All Stars, resulting in favor
of the former by score of Is to3. The
All Stars are unfortunate in not hold
ing out through game. In every con-
test i'll which they have taken part the
boys play with vim and skill up to
about the fifth inning, when up in the
air they 60, and it Is all off.
John Kirk, who has been holding
down homestead in Horse Spring
coulee for the past five years, and put
ting in considerable time working for
Geo. w. Loudon. left Saturday MORN
ing for Tumwater, Wash, to join his
father, who owns a fruit ranch near
that place. Mr.. Kirk sold out all his
possessions, and cleaned up nice little
stake for his few years effort.
Fred Phillips is working what is
known as the Grubb place, short dis
tance south of town, and is making a
success of farming. The ranch is we'll
located for early vegetables. He had
new potatoes this year about the first
of June, and left a sample at this Office
Monday that would indicate from their
size that he is to have some monsters
when they reach full maturity.
Geo. II. Ellis came in from Wen
atchee Monday, and made trip to
Loomis and vicinity Tuesday. Mr..
Ellis is widely known in this county,
as he was long identified with the
Washington Commercial company, and
resided at Loomis for number of
years. He has great faith in the Okla
) hogan country, and is constantly dem
| onstrating that faith by making large
, investments in land.
The town is taking on metropolitan
airs. Several plugs have been put in
along Main street with attachments
for two inch hose. There are 400 feet
of hose of that SIZE and in case of fire
within the territory reachable this ar
: rangement would be considerable of a
5 protection. A sprinkling wagon has
also been secured, and an effort will
be made to keep down the dust in the
business center. Money could not be
applied to better purpose.
Merritt w. Smith, agency director
of the Western Union Life, with head
| quarters at Spokane, accompanied by
, Chas. F. Kuhn, local agent of the COM
, pany, residing at Okanogan, were in
/ terviewing residents of Oroville sew
, eral days this week. The gentlemen
: are representing comparatively new
: life insurance company, a Washington
> product very largely in the matter of
capitalization. The company has al
ready made wonderful record in the
amount of business transacted. 1t .'ap-
S peals to those desiring the protection
: of life insurance, as it is solid and safe
. and conservatively managed. The pa
o irons feel that they are aiding and en-
= couraging home institution, at the
same time securing just as safe pro-
y lection as though carrying a policy in
e an older foreign company. Pleasant
= gentlemen are both Mr.. Smith anG
Mr.. Kuhn, and the company is forum
= ate in having such active, wide awake
e genial representatives.
