Hon. Hans Lund and F. J. Cum
! mings. the fairy twins, drove up from
Riverside Sunday. Mr.. Lund went went
| on to visit at the Umbarger home, on
Palmer lake, Monday, and Mr.. Cum
mings drove up to his ranch on Nine
mile creek. They returned to River
side Thursday.
Migratory birds that fit southwark
in the fall and return to this northern
cline with the beginning of spring,
have already commenced to make their
appearance. Unless they have made a
mistake in reading the calendar this
would indicate that winter is due to
break up very soon.
Bob Hoose was the highest stopper
in town this week, and his exhibition
OF fAlicity and superiority is all due to
the arrival at his home of a very di-
nslnuive stranger of the masculine gen.
der Saturday evening. AS it is the
fifSt born in all probability the balance
of the family will reach a healthy nor
nal condition before Robert gets down
out OF the air.
Saturday evening Miss Jennie Ra-
mey and Grover Sigrist started out to
enjoy a few hours gliding over the ice
On the Similkameen river. During the
pr ogress of their exhilarating gyra-
tons the young skaters dropped
through the ice into the river, Lucki-
ly the water was not deep and they
escaped with nothing more serious
than a ducking.
Joseph Hash, nephew of r. n.
Crubb. mine host of the Radbourn and
Peerless hotels, arrived from Virginia
few days ago, and has come to stay.
Il he becomes associated in the bust
ness, the combination of Grub and
Fash will be very appropriate for that
line. However, if Mr.. Hash becomes
a. popular as his uncle he will make a
winner as a caterer.
Oliver Tufty, the Tonasket mer-
chant, or one of the merchants of that
ambitious place, was in town Satur-
day. Mr.. Tufty can be classed under
the head of pioneer, as he has resided
in northern OkanOgan county many
years following mining, ranching and
merchandising. He is holding his own
against the inrOads of time and looks
almost as young as he did fifteen years
ago.
Joe Armstrong, the young man Suf-
fcring from the effects OF broken
leg sustained some eight months ago,
was taken to Spokane Tuesday, where
he will enter hospital for treatment.
1t is believed by the application of X
rays the exact condition of the bone
can be ascertained, and line of treat
ment that will insure advantageous re-
suits decided upon. Mr. Armstrong
was accompanied on the trip by his
wife.
Miss Kate Dallam was 4 guest of
Miss Elizabeth Umbarger, at Pine
Beach on Palmer lake, a day or two
the first part of the week.
While DR.. Fred Whitaker of Repub
lie, was here Saturday he made ar
rangements with the Washington Mo-
tor Car company for the purchase of
one of the Washington Special auto
mobiles, car especially adapted for
& billy country and is both handsome
and durable
Bear in mind that the Deborah So
ciety of the Presbyterian church will
serve coffee and sinkers" at 10 cents
per helping at the home OF Mrs. X.
Butler from 3 to 5 o'clock next Tues
day afternoon. Both the fluid and SOL
ids will be of a character to create a
desire for more, for what the ladies of
this town serve, no matter the relig-
iOus denomination. the viands can be
depended upon to be first class. Drop
around at the time designated and
have some.
w. H. COlQuhOun, manager for Guth-
RE & Co., the widely known railroad
contractors, was in town Monday. He
has had charge of the work of con-
struction between Princeton and Coal
mont, and does not hesitate to state
that he expects to be back in OrOville
Eefore the expiration of many weeks.
His return here means but one thing
and that is the commencement of work
Oh the OrOville Wenachee branch, as
his presence would not be required nu-
less Gutherie & Co. were to do some
work in this locality.
