Inland Empire. Time has white.
washed his poll and spread out an
addition to that part of the anatomy
over which he buttons his vest, but
1t has not stalled his geniality, optim-
ism and general good humor. 1t Is
like a breeze out of the past TO meet
I'D with A. w. on his occasional visits,
and there is much exchange OF remin-
|iscence and a kindly inquiry and ref
|erence to the friends of other days,
SO many of whom have preceded the
remaining remnant on the voyage
lever.
In his time a great many quilps
and jests have been pulled across on
our local attorney, E. Fitzgerald, and
as he is pretty quick at repartee he
has generally retaliated with inter-
est. However, it is hard to figure out
how he is to get even on the Nelson
Leader, that contained the following
item in it's last issue: "Fitz Jeralds,
lawyer of Oroville, passed through
Nelson Tuesday on his way to Oro-
| Vile. He had been in Spokane for
several days on business"
Mention was made last week of the
visit to this place of Harvey S. Albert
son. of Omak. 1t was not known al
the time that Mr.. Albertson was not
alone, or something would have been
said about it. 1t developed later that
the young man had just been married
and was out on wedding trip. 1t Is
a tritle late in the proceedings for con
CALCULATIONS, but all the same the
Gazette extends the best wishes in the
shop for the future welfare and hap
piness of Mr.. and Mrs. AlbertsOn.
There have been intermitant show
ers in this section for the past week
making record for a wet June ac
cOrding to the memory of the Oldes
inhabitants. At times the weather
has been so cool that fires have beer
comfortable. 1t is stimulating vege
tation, but working a hardship on ha,
making. Such crops DIS are now il
evidence were never before seen il
the county, or rather such prom

Charlie Hermann, who has con
Quoted store at Conconully sine,
a period antidating the flood-th!
Conconully flood-and then some, lief
here for Spokane Tuesday. For sew
eral years Mr.. Hermann has been
great sufferer from eXzema, the dis
ease settling in the face, and so ia
he has been unable to find any !elie
in remedies. He was going out for tn,
purpose of again consulting physic
ians in the hopes that he may be abb
to discover some remedy that viii
overcome the ailment.
Charles Sigrist, the Oroville at
torney, came down Tuesday mornin,
for the purpose of packing the larg
law library which he purchased from
Judge A. w. Barry, OF this place. TIL,
library is the most complete in nortl
central Washington, consisting O
5000 volumes and costing over $4,000
and is thoroughly up to date. Judg,
Barry has retired from the practic,
of law after fifty-five years of servic,
during which time he has earned al
enviable reputation for sagacity ant

A crew of line men is putting il
another line Of Telegraph poles ant
stretching wires between Spokane
and keremeos. Since the construc
ton of the railroad one wire has
been used to cary all the railroad ant
commercial business for this upper
country, and the business has Otter
been more than one wire could accom-
modate. Especially has this became
the case within the last year or two
often to the annoyance and incon.
venience of the public. 1t will be s
month or two before the new lines
are in working order.

JOS. Hedges, living near Nelson, is
suffering some annoyance and nos.
slbly loss from unreliable rumors that
have been passed from mouth to
mouth in that vicinity. Mr.. Hedges

inspected, declared sound in body and
nealth, and a license was duly issued
some Gays ago report was circulat-
ed that the horse was diseased. DR.
