4 ROYAL WELCOME.

The reception rendered DR.. w. T.
Schwabland by his fellow-townsmen
Saturday evening upon his return
home was in the naure of an ovation,
indicative of the high respect and es-
teen in which he is held by his friends
and neighbors. DR.. Schwabland was
taken to Spokane some weeks ago suf-
fering from an accute attack of ap-
pendicitis. He was operated on. and
for two or three days his life hung by
a thread. Those who were at his bed
side had little hopes of his recovery,
and the attending physicians declared
that they had never known patient
so nearly over the brink to take fresh
hold and struggle back to life. Upon
learning that he was to arrive Satur-
day evening the band assembled at
the depot, where many friends had
collected, and between the blare of
music and warmth or greeting the
little doctor, still showing the effects of
the ordeal he had passed through, was
so overcome with grateful emotion
that he could hardly speak. A. j.
Wiakersham's car was at the depot,
and the doctor was whisked to his
residence, where the band followed
playing several airs. rhe doctor did
the elegant along the line of hospital
ity, and expressed his thanks in a
few we'll chosen words.

active In Sunday school work She
assisted her mother as one of the or
ganizers OF the first Sunday school

Grandma's physical condition did not
allow her to attend church services
often. but whenever she came she was
among those who found true joy in
the sanctuary. Grandma Yeardly
loved to read the Sunday school les
sons, the Christian Herald, and the
Bible. They were her spiritual food.
In her daily conversation Mrs. Yeard-
ley was quiet unassuming and kind.
She loved much, and was much loved
In return.
She enjoyed health in a moderate
degree until three weeks ago, when

caused much suffering. During these
trying days her beloved daughter and
family, with relatives and friends

died in peace, and was ready to occu-
py the home prepared for her be-

AN OKANOGANER TO THE FRONT.

A. Geo. Wehe, for years a resident
of the northern part of this county, is
making his presence felt at Pasco that
progressive Columbia river town that
is experiencing a boom, and is on the
steady way toward making city.
There was little chance for A. Geo.
to get to the front on a farm, but he
has the qualities that enable a man
to get there when the chance is Of
fered. The following item, accom-
panied by a life-like picture of the
young man, appeared in a late issue
of the Pasco Progress:
"A. George Wehe, who was recently
elected member of the PascO school
board is one of the most prominent
men In city affairs although he has
been in PascO little more than a year
Besides being school director, Mr.
Wehe Is a trustee of the Chamber of
Commerce and director of the Bank
of PascO.
"Mr. Wehe is head of the Wehe Real
ty company and his father, A. NJ
Wehe, donated the site of the new East
Side school to the city. Mr. Wehe s
father Is one of the pioneers of Pasco
taking homestead here in 1889.
'Mr Wehe Is an alumus of he Uni
vrsity OF Wisconsin. He came to Wash
ingtOn 16 years ago and lived in Ok
anOgan county before coming to Pas
CO. He was at one time one of the
county commissioners OF Okanogan

Paul, as he has always been known
among his familiars, came from Mon
tana and settled on the eastern edge
of the Grand COulee, at the point
where the town of Coulee City Is now
located. in 1883, and began his career
in the cattle business. At that time
the whole country was an unbrOken
range, and herds could roam over a
vast territory, making it possible to
raise cattle on a large scale. Mr.. Paul
prOspered. as others did in the cattle
industry in thOs days, and accumulat-
ed comfortable fortune. After the
coming of the railroad and the conse-
quo mt influx of settlers the range grad
ually contracted until about all the
larger cattle raisers retired, Mr.. Paul
among the number. He subsequently
became stockhOlder in bank at DAY.
enpOrt. and later one at COulee City
and for the past few years has taken
life easy. Mr.. Paul was a public spir-
tied citizen and took an active part
in every project for the promotion of
the best interests of the locality In
which he lived He took an interest
in politics without being an aggressive
partizan, and contributed freely of his
means for the success of the demo-
cratic party. of which he was men,
Der. In 1896, owing to his great per-
sonal popularity. he vas nominated
and elected to the state senate from
Douglas and OkanOgan counties, but
was defeated in his second race for
that Office. MI. Paul was q bachelor,
and the only known relative is broth
er living in the east.
The death of Dan Paul carries keen
sorrow to "A multitude of warm and
sincere Friends throughout the north
ern part of the state, who admired him
for his rugged. sterling character and
upright manly Qualities. A warm
heared. generous, kindly friend and
neighbor was Dan Paul. and the voice
of charity never appealed to him in
vain. He made no display of his gen.
erosity, he did not pose as a philan-
thropist, but without ostentation ne
has befriended and aided scores of peo-
pie who appealed to him for aid in
their distress. Aside from his charity
cf giving he was charitable in his es-
tinaton of his feilOwman. He never
spoke i'll of others. and always had an
excuse for their weaknesses or short
cOnings. Few are they in any walk
of life who would measure up to Dan
Paul in all the elements that go to
make an honest. honorable, upright
man. Long will Dan Paul live in the
memory of those who knew him best.

EXPii3 SSION OF APPRECIATION.

Owing to the uninimity of the ex-
pressions of sympathy conveyed to me
by the good people of Oroville during
my late, critical illness, and the cor
dial and kindly welcome extended by
fellow-eitizens upon my return, it
would be impossible to convey my ap-
probation and thanks to each and
every one individually, hence | take
this mfans of acknowledging the OBJ
legations ! feel under to friends, neigh
bors apd townsmen for the interest
they have taken in my we'll being and
the spontaneous evidence Of good will
and genial welcome manifesed upon
my arrival home. At such time, when
the mind is filled with gratitude in
the presence of such an unexpected
exhibition of friendly feeling on the
part OF those among whom | have
lived so long. words seem cold and
inadequate to express the emotions
of thetheart. In this acknowledgment
of my obligations to the entire COM
munity, it is the desire to especially
thank the members OF the band for the
part they took in making my home
coming an incident in my life that
will always be remembered with feel
ings of pride and pleasure

POSTAL SAVINGS BANK.

According to an edict of the depart
ment the Orovlle postoffice will be-
come pOstOffice money depository
about the 18th of April. 1t is the pur-
pose of the authorities to gradually
make al! third class pOstoffices pos
tai savings banks. Since the law pro-
viding for The government going into
the banking business to the extent OF
being the custodian of private funds
has gone into effect many Offices have
been designated as repositories, and a
vast sum in the aggregate has been
intrusted to the keeping of the depart
ment. 1t is considered to be absolutely
safe, and 1t is safe, as the government
stands behind the depositOr and makes
good even If postmaster should get
to playing high finance and absorb the
funds placed in his care. The govern
ment banking system goes no further
than receiving deposits and allowing

the ordinary savings banks No single
depositor can have more to his credit
at any one time than $500, and any

with by higher authorities on the sub
ject of designating the Oroville post
Office as postal savings bank Post
master Mills advised against the pro-
posal, but that advice was unheeded.
Whether it is going to materially in
crease the work of the Office remains
to be seen, yet it is not likely the
deposits will be so great that the
amount of cash will prove burdensome
at any time.

WELL IMPROVED HOMESTEAD.

~ Frank -L.~Smith- proved up on his
homestead, located few miles east
of town, Saturday The land was or
igiEally settled by p J. Anderson, OF
this place. Mr.. Anderson went upon
the land a number of years ago, and
found himself in a peculiar position
The land was surveyed on three sides
of the section where his claim was
situated. By some error, or miscal
cultion, of the surveyor this section
was not run out, and stood on the
plat marked "unsurveyed.' Mr. An
dersOn made extensive and expensive
improvements on the place, and had
a voluminOus correspondence with the
land Office in an effort to have the
land surveyed and opened for filing
This was not accomplished for sever
al years, for the mills of the land Of
flee grind exceedingly slow. In the
meantime Mr.. Anderson became weary
of waiting, and sold his improvements
and surrendered the land to Mr.
Smith. With the work done by Mr.
Anderson, and that added subsequent
ly by Mr.. Smith, the place is one of
the best improved ranches in this
neighborhoOd.

Monday night two men going under
the names of w. p. James and Frank
Wilson, robbed a hotel at PentictOn,
and in attempting to arrest the rob-
bers G. w. Aston, the provincial con
stable, was shot and killed. The men
got away, and the police force along

in search of the criminals. |. A. Dins
more, chief of the force at Midway,
and w. II. Dockstader, his assistant
at Greenwood, came in Wednesday
evening, and were to scour the country
between here and Okanogan lake.
Sheriff Thorp happened to be in town
and he. with Marshal McCammon
were to join in the hunt. Shortly
after arriving Chief Dinsmore re-
ceived a telegram stating that the
fugitives had been caught near Sum-
merland Aston, the murdered officer
was well known in Oroville as he has
frequently visited this place in the
line OF duty. He was fearless and
efficient officer, and personally a very
pleasant gentleman.

MORE SIGNS OF WORK.

rr. SChwabland is usually employed
to administer unto railroad gangs
when railroad work is under way in
this vicinity, and when he was in Sc
attic last week he met some railroad
officials who advised him 10 get home
as soon as possible, as it was expect
ed that force would commence lay
ing steel out of Oroville on the Oro-
Vile Pateros branch about the 18th of
the month. The 18th has slipped by
to the heretofore, and still it is very
still along the right-ofway. The fact
is there will have to be considerable
repairs on the old grade before it is
in condition for putting down steel.
The grade was completed two years
ago, and as no effort has been made
to keep it up the natural effect of the
elements have caused much wear and
tear. Then there is big bridge to
throw across the Okanogan, and some
lesser bridges to build There will
have to be considerable fixing up be-
fore ties and rails can be put in place.
