LOCAL NOTES

Mr.. and Mrs. Grover Sigrist or
Omak, are visiting with Mr.. Sigrlsts
brother of this place Chas f. Sigrlst.
Only four more weeks to work for
| one of those swell pianos. Candidates
within reach of the prize should 10
some hustling.
| The high school girls entertained
the ladies of the town in the dining
room of the Hotel de Grub Thursday
| afternoon by serving tea. There was
a large attendance, and the afternoon
was, of course, highly enjoyed by all
| present.
| Chas. Jones, a pioneer resident of
the Loomis neighborhood, spent a day
or two in Oroville during the week.
Mr.. Jones himself is looking fat aud
| saucy, but he has much sickness and
misfortune in his family. Two of the
children have been barking with the
whooping cough, and Mrs. Jones fell
on the ice and broke the bones of her
right wrist.
The new buildings of the Woodbury.
Lumber company are looming up in
great shape, covering what has long
been a monotonous vacancy in the
east part of town. Material is being
rapidly assembled at the yards, in
Guiding everything that enters into
the construction of building. The
company must be anticipating heavy
demand for material in this place and
vicinity judging from the stock that
is to be carried.
The new hotel is the biggest adj
| vertisement Oroville has ever had. II
is the practice of drummers travelling
through this upper country to always
| so time their trip as to spend Sunday
| in Oroville. Those reaching here late
| in the week run out to the smaller
| places and get back on the Saturday
evening trains. OF course the name
and fame of the new hotel is carried
far and wide by these birds of con
slant flight.

llof one day becoming auto owners
should see this new Overland. 1t i
ii surely a temptation to invest.
