The east bound train Tuesday morn
ing carried out one of the largest list
OF passengers that has ever left Oro-
vile on that train. Agent Morris sold
twenty tickets to Spokane, and about
twice as many to other stations. Then
there were a number of passengers

sether the two coaches were pretty
well crowded
Giuseppe SallarO, and you know
from his name that he does not hail
from County Cork, attempted to slip
into the United States from across
the border this week The eagle eyed
immigration officers were not asleep
at the crossing and Giuseppe was
gathered in and sent back from
whence he came. after a night or two
in that lodging of refined cruelty, the
town jail.
f. p. Wheeler came in from Con.
conully Monday and left Tuesday for
Spokane on a brief visit. Mr.. Wheeler
has camped on Mineral Hill, near Con-
conully, for over quarter of CEN
fury. and has put in the best years of
his life opening up group of mining
claims on that eminence. For his
faith and tenacity of purpose he has
certainly earned a reward to smooth
the path of his declining years.
Charlie Blackwell came up on the
train from Riverside Monday, and left
Tuesday for the coast, where he goes
to purchase fixtures for his new store
building at Tonasket. Mr.. Blackwell
carries one of the largest stocks of
merchandise in the county, and he will
duplicate the stock in his new estab-
lishment at Tonasket. He generally
travels by auto, but says it is much
cheaper travelling between Riverside
and Oroville by train.
The walls of the new school house
are getting up we'll toward the roof,
and one can form some idea of the
strikingly attractive building it will
be when completed, and feel pleased
at the wisdom displayed by those who
selected the site. Had it not been for
unavoidable delays in receiving ma
terial the contractors would have had
the building covered in by this time.
AS it is it will be late in the fall be-
fore the school will be ready for oc-
cupancy.
G. H. Hood and d. H. Green, of
Garfield, stopped in Oroville Thurs
day last on their way into British
Columbia in search of lands to home
stead. They are men of strong per-
sonalities bright, forceful business
men, and it Is loss to the state to
have such citizens surrender their
allegiance and go under another flag
such citizens must desert the domain
of Uncle Sam there is no better
country to go to than across the line,
simply because it is part of North
America and the same red blood and
high manhood circulates and exists
over there as on the south side.
