Inc ladies' Of the Episcopal Guild
served ice cream and cake to the pub
Tic in tch vacant room adjoining the
Townsite Co.'S office Saturday after
noon and evening. The ladies hit the
weather right, as the temperature was
such as to create demand for sooth-
ing provender that had been near the
ice, hence the stock on hand disap-
peared rapidly, much to the initiation
of the Guild exchequer.
r. B. Darlinton is now publisher
OF the Nelson Leader. The Leader
has passed through number of hands
during its brief existence. The new
proprietor is & practical printer, and
only a practical printer can make a
country newspaper pay in a
small place. The business men of
Nelson have always extended the
Leader a liberal patronage, and Mr..
DarlintOn should do we'll with his
venture.
fferrc Eiverdon is to open ladies'
and gentleman's tailoring shop on the
second floor of the brick building for
merly occupied by the Bank of Oro-
vile. Mr.. RiverdOn has the exper-
lence and skill that turns out clothes
that fit and look like city made gar
ments. His has been a large field of
operation as he has done tailoring in
Paris, London New York and River
side. He expects to have his place
| open for business by the first of next
| week.
A rumor is rife to the effect that q
large concrete, or brick, store build
| ing is to be erected on the south side
OF the track, below the Radbourn
motel. Good. 1t is sincerely ..ts l.,
| hoped that there is substantial fOun-
! datlon for the report. If the block
materializes it will be another step
toward the time when Main street,
and the south extension Fourth
street, will be lined on both sides with
a solid frontage of steel, stone brick
and concrete buildings.
Geo. Bartell made trip to Twisp
the latter part of last week in his new
Studebaker. He took it easy on the
run, stopping at various places en-
route, and reached his destination in
nine hours. Some stretches of the
road fairly shouted for repairs. He
found the towns along the route ex-
ceedingly quiet, and came home feel
ing that the residents of Oroville have
no reason to complain. He is we'll
pleased with the performance of his
car as the trip was severe test.
Jas. JACKSON returned home from
Spokane the latter part of last week

On this last trip out an operation was
performed, and unfortunately the
young sufferer caught cold in the eye
and had serious time of it, He had
to remain in Spokane under the
doctors care. At last reports his con
dition was improving with excellent
prospects OF permanent cure.
picnic was held at the PhiliI
Lcptz place, on the hill east of tcwr
Sunday which was attended by almost
100 people in that neighborhood The
grove is rather a small affair, but i
was made to answer the purpose o
providing shade, and its limited exten
detracted nothing from the pleasur,
that was extracted from the socia
gathering. 1t was a very quiet out
ing. day given over to real rest ant
the enjoyment of relaxing .idleness
Abundant refreshments of substantial
nature supplemented by such extras
as ice cream and lemonade wer,
served. Altogether the picnic was
very pleasant affair, thoroughly en-
joyed by all present.
