the palatable twang that makes the
mixture such popular summer die
tary luxury. The box has a glass Top

ing liquid cream to soldified cold cou-

essary to try to go further .nto a
description of this ice cream produc-
ing box, because the reporter VINO was
awed by technical explanation IS to
it's intestines did not fully understand
the modus operandi even after the a.
commodating Mr.. Friis had gone to
the trouble of telling him all about it.
1t is sufficient to say that the invent
i've genius of some brain artist has
evolved method of swiftly and even
ly turning out perfect art Gle of ice
cream, doing away with the old FASH
oned arm aching and back breaking
crank turning freezer, the working of
which robbed the finished product of
of cream was frozen last Friday Mr..
Friis held an ice cream testing recep-
tion, and those who partook of the
first sample of his output pronounced
it as good as the best that had ever
tickled their esophagus. Mr.. Friis is
to manufacture ice cream for the
trade, and considering the central To-
cation of Oroville, and the quality of
the goods turned out, he should be
able to build up large business All
this upper country is now largely de- |
pendent upon Spokane for the ice |
cream that is consumed every sum-
mer, and the quantity is enormous
judging from the shipments made over
the railroad through this place. If |
Mr.. Friis can furnish just as good a
brand-and he can-at just as fair |
prices, there is no reason why he |
should not have the preference over |
distant supply house. Those who |
once try the Oroville ice cream will |
be satisfied with no other, and before |
the season is far advanced there |
should be such clamor for the Oro- |
vile article that Mr. Friis will be |
forced to build an addition to his |
creamery to accommodate the en-
larged plant made necessary to meet |
the demand

SAW MILL BURNED

Word was received here Monday

stroyed by fire last Friday night. evil

Hone has had all kinds of troubles
during the years he has been engaged
in the saw mill business in that part
of the county, and his losses through
malicious persecution would in the
aggregate amount to very large sum
Much of his tribulations in the past
were laid at the door of an individual
who has left the country, and is now
known to be in the far north. This
last disaster, if the work of an in
cendiary, will have to be charged up
against some other enemy. Most men
subjected to the rough expe rionces
that have befallen Mr.. Hone would
change location, but Mr. Hone is some
nervy himself and a slayer, hence will
in all probability restore the mill, con-
tinue saving lumber and take his
chances living down opposition

StHIDE OF ELMER GRtFyERT

Elmer Grafyert, who committed
suicide at his home near Wauconda q
week ago Tuesday, worked in the Ben
Hur mine at Republic last winter and
boarded with Rebekah Strong. STEM
mother of F. H. Strong of this nIace
Mr.. Strong knew the young man and
MS brother from whom he received a
letter few days ago giving him all
the information the relatives then had
concerning the suicide and the motive
FOR the act. According to the letter
Elmer Grafvert, who was about %
years OF age, had been suffering poor
heaith for long time. He never COM
planned and worked along with the
others both while in the mine and on
the ranch, but he lacked the vitality
customary to a young man of his
years. This spring he visited his
mother and sister, who live in SDo-
Kane, and while there consulted a
physician. AT the time he did not re-
veal to his mother or sister what the
physician told him, but shortly there
a1ter he returned to his fathers place.
He appeared worried, but said moth
ing, In tho morning after his return
he went with his father to the barn TO
grind an axe. After working a short
time he returned to the house at n
tire when nobody was in and started
to write a note to his father. in which
he asked that all his possessions be
given to his mother. He broke his
pen before finishing the note. and
without stopping 10 get another
walked into the hall, where a 9O-9O
rifle hung on the wall, took it down
and shot himself through the head
NO one about the place heard the shot
and he was not discovered until about
noon when he was found on the floor
in the hall with the rifle beside him,
From statement in the unfinished
note, the relatives concluded that the
doctor had told him that he had can
Ger of the stomach and that there was
no h"" recovery, so he de-
Sa, Dur end to a hopeless
WaSA.

A GOOD SHOW TOWN

Geo. Stoltz was down to Teaass !
last Thursday evening with his M,

tainment under the auspices of,% !.
Civic League of that place. The A { e.

profuse in his acknowledgement :,
the courteous treatment he receive
at the hands of the ladies of =
Tonasket league. However, one Il
he has learned from his visits to var
iOus towns in the county, where he
has given exhibitions, there is not one
that extends the same liberal support
to an entertainment as is extended
by the people of Oroville. He says
that at no one night stands in other
towns will he see as large crowds
as his exhibition draws five nights in
the week in this place. The fact is
that no other town in the county can,
or will, support regular moving pic
ture show. 1t may be true that a
moving picture show open several
nights in the week in Orovlle n

enters into the construction of a rail-
road. Other trains stationed here for
the purpose have been loaded from
the accumulated supplies and material
run down to the front as fast as the
branch was extended Along the side
tracks are vast stacks of bridge timb-
ers, telegraph poles, ties wire, spikes,
other fittings and fixtures that enter
into road building and equipment.
Besides the regular and extra train

intended when used to be accepted as
humor, yet parallel condition can
be seen any morning at the round
house in the attempt to crowd into
limited space more engines than
the building was gauged to accommo-
date. The little building in the east
part of town used as a locomotive
boarding house fairly slops over with
engines. The noses of those that
come last may get under cover, but
their rear extends out in the weather
far beyond the friendly shelter of the
roof.
The presence of So many of these
engines is source of no little per-
pleXity to Tom Collier the round
house boss, who must see that they
are in order to perform their func-
tions every day. That is no small
contract, for no matter how carefully
they are handled these engines will
occasionally limp in for repairs, and
Inc repairs must be made during the
hours of the night. 1t has required
an increase in the lorce over which
Mr.. Collier dominates. So from the
rough work of loading and unloading
fats to the more delicate job of man
curing engines the steady grind keeps
up day and night, providing employ
ment to a large force of men, and
giving the railroads at Oroville more
the appearance of business activity

of the largest cities. 1t is very
satisfying scene, and as. soon as the
south branch is finished it is hoped
work may begin on the north feeder
so that conditions may remain as they
are indefinitely

as provider of pills, powders and

under Mr.. Samson's management, as
he believes in keeping abreast of the
times. and the apothecary shop will
| continue to be what it has always
been, the most complete dispensary
in the county.
While welcoming in the new hand
at the pestle and mortar the retiring
manipulation of those tools of the
trade must not be forgotten, nor will
he or his estimable wife and assistant
ever pass from the memory of those
who have met either in business or
social relations. w. B. Sexson opened
his drug store in Oroville in a very
modest way some six years ago. Like
the experience of a number of other
successful business men in Oroville
his initial venture was what the street
would designate as getting in on a
shoe string He was equipped for
the business, however, by thorough
college training, and was entitled to
string after his name like a tail to a
kite such impressive initials as Phi. C.
and Phi G., which interpreted means
pharmaceutical chemist and graduate
in pharamcy. They are degrees that
he is fairly entitled to and they rep
resent thorough knowledge of the
intricate use and abuse of the mani
fold liquids, herbs and soluble ingrnd-
tents that singly or IN combination
under the common category of drugs
end medicines. It may be parenthet-
ically added that Mrs. Sexson. who
has divided the care of the drug store
with her husband, is also entitled to
the same degrees through the same
source of collegiate graduation. Mr..
SeXson leaves the drug business in
Croville with no intention of perma-
nently leaving the town He has al
ways had an ambition to become
Nracticing surgeon, thorough up-to-
date surgeon. and IN his efforts to
'ccumulate that single ambition has
been the incentive for effort With
his present property holdings and the
eale of his business he sees his way
open to reach the goal. He will re-
main for month to assist Mr.. Sam
son in getting started off right, and
then will leave for Chicago where he
will take full course in surgery, and
from Chicago go to Omaha to finish
np He does not enter upon his stud
os without an extended experience
with some of the most noted surgeons
VI the country. AS assistant to these
Yarious practitioners he has admins
fered anasthetics in 32S cases. cover
ng almost every conceivable class of
1rerations, which has given him a
'ery general insight into the mvster
les OF the profession. He will spec
ialize in pathology. diagnosis and Or
'rative surgery. Mr. Sexson will be
accompanied by his wife and VIII
'rby. who has clerked in the drug
store for some months. The Young
nan will take the course in pharmacy
Mr.. Sexson does not leave OroviIla
for good. He will spend at least p
norton of his vacations here, and
when he is graduated he proposes to
como back to Oroville and put up q

Charles Chenoweth arrived in Douglas yesterday, enroute from Rodeo to Fl Paso, where he goes to take the Pasteur treatment, after having been bitten by mad dog.
 Some three weeks ago dog in the vicinity was bitten by either a hydrophobia skunk or coyote and bit several horses, cattle and dogs. The cattle thus infected developed hydrophohia after twenty-one days as well as a number of horses. About twenty-five of the animals have been killed on this account within the past few days.

 The cattle are owned by Elias and Andrews, and were brought to Agua Prieta from their ranch near Fronteras. They expected to bring the cattle across and dip them, knowing that they came from an exposed district, but upon being examined it was found that they were affected with the fever tick and cannot be imported.
