ders were issued from the local post

practice the latter part of last week,
after spending several days in Spo-
kane. He gets back in harness pretty

The big ore truck has sliced up the
road leading northward, and what has
always been one of the best drive
ways in this part of the county is
now literally spotted with ruts and
knobs. A drag over the road after
rain would greatly improve the con-
dition.

vile last Monday on his way to

c. c. Hedger took run up on Ell
lemeham mountain Sunday, carrying
a rifle in case anything in the game

pointed pastor Of the M. e. church,

for Spokane to visit with relatives and
friends If Mr.. and Mrs. Holland had

ranch on Ellemeham Monday for the
purpose of finding a man to assist

idle in Oroville just now, unless he
prefers idleness to industry
