Dr. Masters had occasion to make
trip to Omak Sunday in his motor car
He ran down and back in seven hours,
spending considerable time at River
side. The doctor reports the roads
south of Riverside to be badly cut up
with chuck holes, making it hard
skidding for automobiles. This coun-
try never will have respectable roads
until the county is divided.
Judge A. w. Barry was in town the
latter part of last week. on his way to
his home at Riverside from trip to
Republic. The Judge reports that his
health is improving, but he shows tho
effects of a severe sickness he passed
through some months ago. Judge
Barry is the Nestor of the bar of Ok
anogan county, and few attorneys in
eastern Washington are more
thoroughly versed in the intracacies OF
law.
A party consisting of Mr.. and Mrs
r. Butler, Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Evans
and Vic. Butler left Oroville Tuesday

Sinlahekin valley. There Mr.. and
Mrs. Stanley Evans will join the Oro-
villains and the party will make a
trip on horseback to Cathedral peak

thern country.
DoOley p. Wheeler and his family
accompanied by Mrs. Clendenon and
children, left last week to drive to
Trinidad, station on the Great Nor
thern, near Wenatchee, the home OF
Mrs. Wheeler's parents. Mr.. Wheeler
has been suffering spasmodically for
some time from a touch of appendi-
citis, and it was his declared inten-
ton when he left to go on to Seattle
and submit to an operation before
the trouble became too serious.
1t is rumored that the firm of F..
Bartell e. Co., is considering the erec-
ton of a brick block this season. The
firm has built up a large business and
is outgrowing the present quarters.
A brick store, with greatly increased
floor space, is what the firm needs,
besides such building would be a
great improvement to the main busi-
ness thoroughfare of the town. Now
is the time to carry out such plan, as
the building material can be obtained
Immediately at home.
An electric fire alarm gong has been
installed in the hose tower, in the
rear of the town hall, and switches
put in at several convenient places on
the north side of the track. Another
gong will be attached to o 4O-foot pole
at the hose house on the south side of
the track, with the necessary switches.
With such an equipment fire alarm
can be turned in promptly on the first
indication of blaze. 1t is to be
hoped that it will be many day be-
fore the gongs are called into use.
