ter, and Mine Host Grub has reasons
to regret that he was not able to com.
plete his new hotel last fall. That
building will go UP as early in the
spring as it is possible to commence
out door work. 1t will be an orna-
ment to the town and a delight to the
travelling public
j. w. Miller, of LOOMS, was an out
going passenger last Friday headed
| for Seattle. He may decide to 20 to
Washington the latter part of the
| month to be persent at the Inaugural
ton of President Wilson. Mr.. Miller
is holding his own remarkably well,
and is apparently in better health than
he has been for years.
A short time ago j. R. Bolin an old
time resident of the COnconully and
Okanogan neighbOrhoods, died in Ten
nessee, and Friday last the remains
arrived at this place on the way to
OkanOgan, there to be buried by the
SIDE of the mother of the deceased.
The body was accompanied by Mrs.
Lottie Key and Mrs. John Bolin.
Dan Ryan, better known as Dad"
formerly located in Oroville in the
employ of the Great Northern, now
stationed at Curlew an old time at
tachee of the road, spent last Thurs
DAY night in town exchanging greet
lngs with his friends. Time has not
frosted Daniels good nature, and he
Is as breezily jolly as in the old days.
The OrOville Construction company
has just finished a dandy new school
mousse for the Chopaka school district.
IL KIND OF gives man falling of the
interior to think of the progressive
ness OF every little school district in
the county while OrOville stagers
along with a school building that
would be disgrace to an abandoned
mining camp.
Mrs. N. Burkett, who formerly pre-
sided over the cuisine at the Radbourn
hotel, has opened a restaurant on the
south side of the track, in the build
ing formerly occupied by the Pacific
meat market. Mrs. Burkett is an ex-
cellent cook and worthy lady, and
as there is steadily increasing float
ing population in town she should
make a success of her venture.
That man Fred Clark, of the Cres-
cent Cafe, has heart in the right
place. When he learned of the explo-
sion OF the range in the Spokane hotel
Sunday morning he at once insisted
upon the Pratts taking breakfast with
him, and volunteered any accOmmO-
dation in his power. Such exhibitions
OF sympathy and kindness are like
HOWers scattered along the pathway
of life, worthy of mention, worthy of
emulation.

Saturday night.
S. T. Stanton left some handsome
specimens of ore at this Office Satur-
day taken from the 49th Parallel. 1t
is not claimed that all the ore in sight
is equal in appearance and value to
the specimens, but much of it is. One
thing is certain, nature has not put
small deposit of this high grade ore
in Kruger mountain. Sometime some
body will push hole far down under
ground on the mountain and strike a
big body of this choice ore and make a
mine that will prove humdinger as
dividend payer.
The COncOnully Record has dis
covered that mumps are an epidemic
in Oroville. Careful search has failed
to find case. Prof Funkhouser, who
brought dose of humps in his neck
or suit case from the outside is the
Records authority for this unfounded
statement. AS a punishment for con-
veying false information the humps
ought to reach their most virulent
form in the case of the professor, and
we would almost wish for that cal
amity were it not for the warm regard
we have for the members of the family.
e. McCammon every once in a while
discovers some new possibilities for
this country. He tells of discovery
in this issue of an excellent substitute
for flax found in a modest weed that
has long been looked upon as null
sance. Now if this last find could only
be utilized it might become an import
ant industry. There is nothing about
flax and linen making that Mr.. Nc
Cannon is not familiar with, and it
is hardly possible that he could be de-
ceived as to the value of the plant he
| writes of in communication pub
lished elsewhere.
Williams & Finnie, proprietors of
| the OrOville Brickyard, are aiming to
| be in the field to supply any demand
| for that class of building material that
may arise in this upper country They
have just finished burning a new kiln
of 10000 brick. Moreover, they have
placed an order for a brick making
