Mrs. Ed. Cox and children left Oro-
Vile this week to join Mr.. Cox at
Kelowna, B. c., where he has per
manent position. The Cox family
formerly resided in Oroville, but for
the past two years have been living
on their valley ranch, near Tonasket.
Homer w. Moves went out to Spo-
kane Friday, and returned Monday
driving a new Overland that he had
accumulated while in the city. In
his business as a produce broker Mr..
Noyes has a great deal of travelling to
do, and hence this investment is
real stroke of economy.
The surveying ~ang on the West
Okanogan Valley Irrigation district
will reach town by Saturday night,
working back north from the south
end of the district The survey is
being made carefully and thoroughly.
AL Hagerman, of the Peerless cafe
is to invest in an Overland car.
R. Grieger returned home from Soap
lake last Thursday almost as good as
new, his rheumatism disappearing
during his absence. possibly as much
on account of the enforced rest as
from the use of the waters, although
the lake has the reputation of being
dead shot for that particular all
ment.
Frank Buckingham is now the sole
owner of the barber shop and bath
rooms on Main street, opposite the
postoffice, and will at once make 4
number of improvements in the prem
Uses. Charlie Brown, the old time
Il ssr1,t Of hn IN II
country will preside over chair in
the shop.
Saturday was somewhat of an off
day for drummers in this place. One
was arrested and fined S. and costs
for using vile language on the street
and another came in contact with an
irate citizen who applied both knuck-
les and toes to his anatomy, much to
the Disagreement and distress of said
anatomy.
Quantities of apricots are being
shipped from the Leslie Hill orchard,
on OsOyOos lake, just across the line.
Mr.. Hill has a large apricot orchard
that produces immense crops every
year, and very choice quality of
fruit. Unfortunately remOteness from
| market is responsible for much of this
fruit going to waste every year.
A force of men is at work at the o
X. mine on Kruger mountain, and
taking out fine quality of ore. The
o. K. is one of the choice group of
claims in the same locality with the
Golden Chariot, 49th Parallel Lake
View-Dividend and other holdings
north of Oroville where excellent ore
in large quantities has been uncover
ed.
A pump demonstration has been con-
Quoted on Main street during the past
attention especially among land own
ers. The pump worked to perfection,
discharging steady and heavy vol
ume of water, and to all appearances
1t Is an ideal water litter for irriga-
ton purposes. An attractive feature
Is the simplicity of the interior ar
rangement that does the work.
Ed. Buzzard is having extensive i'm
prOvements made upon his saloon
building at the north east corner of
Railroad avenue and Main street, and
when completed the old building will
be so transformed that it will be I'M
recognizable. In it's new shape the
store front will improve the appear
ance of that prominent business cor
ner. Al. Fox is working the trans
formation with his little Ratchet.
Farmers, orchardists and others de-
sirous of employing labor have found
it almost impossible to secure help
this season, and even when a hand
could occasionally be secured he was
hardly worth his keep. There are a
good many people ready to stand
around and rail against opportunity
for the working man, but DISPOSE
ton to accept work at excellent wages
is lacking in those who do the talking.
This is an age when many think the
world owes them living without ex-
ertion, and when that idea gets into
mans nut he is a useless member of
society.
