was Il brief visitor. however. as the
weather continued mild.
A very large consignment of dump
cars and other grading paraphernalia
passed thorough town to the front
Monday, showing that contractors are
preparing to push construction from
Princeton, the present terminus. west
ward. All of which was good to see,
for the sooner the road reaches the
coast the better for this country.
The Valentine social given in the
Presbyterian church Monday evening
by the members of the Ladies' Aid
WIS largely attended. and, of course,
every patron extracted Il full measure
of pleasure from the occasion. The
receipts fully compensated the ladies
for the time and trouble devoted to ar

Sherman O'Bryant, who recently sold
his ranch and personal possessions on
Pine creek, has purchased the lot and
building on Main street owned and oc-
cupied by j. Parks. The premises hay e
been rented to Mrs. Mitchell for a year,
where that lady will open millinery

When this paper mentions visitor
from elsewhere enjoying himself in
town it most not be inferred that the
person mentioned is enjoying himself
irrationally, because when one becomes
irrational then enjoyment ceases.
Those who live here feel that a strang-
er, or occasional visitor, naturally un-
der4oes d sensation of enjoyment by
being in Oroville.
Julius Brechlin, of Loomis, was in
town from his mining claims, situated
just beyond the 'Similkameen Falls
power plant, Saturday. In doing his
annual assessment work this year Mr..
Brechlin has uncovered excellent ore
and large quantities of it. If he only
possessed the capital to push investi-
cation he would in all probability open
up property of large value.
Mrs. Jean |. Whitcher, formerly a
resident of Whitestone Flat. is one OF
the reportorial staff of the new daily
paper at Spokane, the Inland Herald.
Mrs. Whitcher had been connected
with a number of the leading news
papers of the coast prior to trying the
simple life in Okanogan. She is a
bright writer, enjoys newspaper work,
and is no doubt happy in her new posi-
ton.
The greater portion of the machinery
of Oscar Anderson's new steam laun-
dry has arrived, and is being set up by
an expert and experienced laundry
man from Spokane. OF course there
has been delay in delivering some of
the material, as delay is what every
one who attempts to do anything in
this country has to contend against.
The laundry will probably be ready to
turn out work by the first of March,
and it has the necessary equipment to
do that work right Everybody who
can should patronize it, because the
community never realized what a neces-
sity laundry is until it was compelled
to get along without one.
1t is understood that the saloon cur
tain removal ordinance is to be tested
in the Justices court today.
