The first resale of East OrOville
Orchard Tracts from the original lot
buyer to a third party was made last

considerable in excess of $500 an acre
and represents a handsome profit over
the price Mrs Gordon paid for the lot
two years ago. Jimmie got a valuable
corner lot and will make good money
on the deal at the price he paid for it
In preparing for the future queer
things often take place and it was
rather odd to be passing along the
street the other afternoon in the heat
of a hot August sun and see merchant
Covert unpacking great boxes of heavy
fur goods for the winter trade. All OF
the merchants are doing more or less
of the same thing as they are all put
ting in larger and more up to the
minute line of goods for the fall and
winter trade than has ever been shown
in OrOville before.

man well versed in his sepcial line
and made many friends during his
short stay here.
The injured motor of the East Orc
Vile Canal company was repaired last
week and water was again flowing in
the bitches Saturday. This accident
was an unavoidable one as the control
of the lightning flashes is still beyond
the ken of the electrical wizards great
though they may be. While the lack
of water was severely felt on some
tracts the dampness of the weather
saved any very material loss. After a
short run it was discovered that other
parts of the motor had been injured
and another short shut down for re-
pairs was necessary

makes and kinds of motor cars and
engines he will make a specially of
placing the now famous Ford" car in
this upper country. Besides himself.
Mr.. Beery has employed Mr. b. NJ.

fenced auto repair man to assist in
carrying on the business successfully.
