If the death statistics among the

the amount of ammunition that is
burned daily along the river then the
mortality must be frightful.

and Mrs. j. E. Metcalf. living near
TOnasket, was brought to Oroville
Saturday suffering from threatened
attack of typhoid fever, in order to
place him directly under the care of
a physician. AS it was taken in time
1t is hoped that the case will prove to
be mild.
4. V. Remey had the hard luck to
lose a pocket book Monday morning
that contained a considerable amount
Of money. If the property falls into
honest hands it will be returned. 9th
erwise, otherwise.
l.. w. Barnes has had instructions
to photograph the auto freight truck
for the Dividend people as soon as it
reaches Oroville and is put in COM
mission, which would indicate that the
car is soon to be here.
While the climate up this way is
something worthy bOasting of, Occa-
sionally the clerk rings in a day that
Will not pass muster as par excellent.
Monday was one of those days, and the
Inhabitants would get along just as
cheerfully and cOntentedly If there be
not a repetition of the meteorological
specimen during the next twelve
months.
c. s. Cole, of Minneapolis, is visiting
his brother Geo. l. Cole of this place,
arriving Monday. Mr.. Cole is con-
nected with large calender and spec
ialty printing house in Minneapolis,
and is out west on vacation. He
made the trip to California, and came
up north on his way home to meet his
brother. Like the majority of indi-
viduals brought up in the odor of
printing ink Mr. Cole is very pleas
ant gentleman to meet
John Wentworth, of Loomis, has a
force of men at work on his Lone Pine
mining property. situated a short dis
lance northeast of Nighthawk. Mr..
Wentworth has held and worked the
Lone Pine for a number of years, eX-
posing during the process of prospect
ing an attractive body of high grade
ore. Considering the accessible stu
alton of the claims, and the unusually
fine showing, it seems strange that
some investor had not long ago taken
the property in hand and made a mine
of it, for if any faith can be placed in
indications the Lone Pine is certainly
the making of mine.
Charlie Blackwell was a visitor in
town Friday last, on his way to his
home at Riverside from trip to Pen
ticton and OkanOgan lake. He was
enthusiastic in his praise of the signs
of progress noticeable at Penticton, and
the good roads on the other side of
the line especially awakened his ad-
miratiOn. AS result of his visit north
1t is probable that a number of people
of this county interested in good roads
will make trip to Penticton in the
near future just for the purpose of
seeing what our Canadian neighbors
are doing in the way of building SUI
periOr highways. An inspection of the
kind might result in starting move
ment in earnest for better roads on
this side of the line.
e. b. Newland, of Nelson, the demo-
cratic nominee for the legislature, was
in town Saturday. He harvested his
grain last week. and will get through
threshing this week. After his crop
is cared for he will start out cam
paigning and make thorough can
vass of the county. Mr.. Newland Is
sanguine of success, trifle too san
guine, for If he wins he must poll ev-
cry democrat vote in the county and
good sprinkling of republicans. He
