Another vague rumor is floating

given for the happy event, the time OF
starting ranging along all the way
from next week to next fall.
O. II. Iuhrins. of Evansville, Ind,

Evans. and a vrri' prominent attorney
of his home atate. has been in Oroville
for some days visiting the Evans
brothers. and assisting in some legal
business in which Stanley Evans is
Interested
The local ball club is having a great
deal of hard luck getting games with
visitors on the home grounds. A game
was billed with Chesaw for Sunday,
but owing to the absence of players
the Chesaw boys failed to make con-
nections. And it was ideal weather
for a game too.
Mention is made at length elsewhere
in this issue of a large real estate
transaction, representing the invest
ment of $1,000. 1t should be added
that the deal was engineered through
the local real estate firm of Blackler
e Evans, who have sold considerable
land this spring.
Will Ingham was in from his White
stone mountain ranch Monday and re-
ported that several miles of the Dewey
ditch is already constructed. and he is
kind of work that the workmanship
on the ditch is equal to any thing of
the kind in the state.
Some idea can be formed of the work
that the local postoflice force has been
called upon to perform lately when it
is stated that during the first week
under the new order to check up all
mail matter coming in and going out
of the office. the postmaster and his
assistant handled very near 10000
separate pieces.
Geo. Parker has his new bowling
alley on the south side of the track in
running order, and devotees of the
game are knocking down the pins at
almost all hours of the day and night. 1t
is astonishing what a run the sport is
having. as this small community can

Clyde Andrews, who has been work
ing at Republic for some time passed
through Oroville Friday last on his
way to his ranch near LOOMS, where
he expected to spend few days. lie
was looking happy and was so sty-
lishly put up that his friends here
thought he was out on a wedding tour,
although he denied the soft impeach-

Tonight, after the school entertain

increase the pleasure of the evening.
E. A. McMahan, who blows wind
through the bass TUBA in the local
band. has just received a new instru-
ment of monstrous size and wondrous
design. 1t curls around his neck two
or three times, and has an opening at
the rear. from which the notes float
forth, like the mouth of an air funnel on

horn and beaut, both in appearance
and the sounds it emits.
Last Thursday evening, upon their
return from Spokane, Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Griffin were treated to the usual
charivari party that descends on the
newlyweds. After the older visitors
had their inning squad of lads fol-
lowed the bad example set them and

Newell's establishment and bountifully
supplied her self-invited guests with
candy.
Bishop Lemuel II. Wells. of Spokane,
head of the Episcopal diocese of east
