r. G. Evans has been appointed
councilman to fill the unexpired term
of M. G. Schalm, resigned. The coun-

cessful in business, bright, capable,
and has the best interests of the town
at heart. He will work for the adj
vancement of Oroville, will do his duty

lowing tho rush that was created by
the discovery of mineral in the vicin-
ity. He has faith in the country, and
has stuck to it Loyalty, although he
might have done far better had he
searched out a more progressive town
years ago. He has hung on so long
that he will probably continue the bal
ance of his days-and may they be long
in the land-in the old camp.
The city council believes in encour-
aging cleanliness, and believes that
women and children should have a
chance to take dip in the waters Of
the Okanogan without interference, or
crowding, by the men. A sum of
money was appropriated Monday even
ing for the construction of a four COM
partment bath house opposite Mr.
Cox's residence for the exclusive use
of women and children. The location
is several hundred feet down the river
from the present bath house. This ac-
tion of the authorities is commendable,
and no doubt will be appreciated by
the female members of the population.
