first shot was fired. The slaughter

Joe Armstrong returned from a triI
to Vancouver, B. c., Friday last and
stopped over in Oroville on his way
to his home near Keremeos. MIR. Arm.
strong had taken large band of sheer
to the Vancouver market, and had ali
kinds of misery on the trip, which he
charges up to the railroad. Joe ex-
pressed devout loyalty to the mother
country, and were it not for that Grip
pied leg he would be among the Can
adam contingent that has sailed to
France to take part in the great war
L. Stoffern was in town from his
ranch on Tunk creek Tuesday for the
first time in a number of months. Just
at the present time he is at peace with
the world, and in excellent spirits, but
that does not mean that he will side
step trouble if trouble comes around
hunting for him.
Fresh strawberries are on the bill
of-fare of some of the local restaur-
ants. They come under the head of
luxuries as to price, but the fact that
they can be obtained at any price at
this season of the year goes to show
what the valley lands in this locality
are capable of producing.
Fred. J. Fine having completed in
specting school lands in this county,
left for the coast Tuesday. He will
stop off at Leavenworth to look after
some school lands in that locality. As
it is getting late in the season Mr..
Fine may not be back here again until
spring, unless to vote.
Ed. N. Clark, the hiking scribe who
was in Oroville a few weeks ago, is
wanted at Wenatchee for jumping his
board bill. He should have played the
same game in Wenatchee that he did
here, leave word at the Office of the
hotel that the local newspaper man
would settle for it
AL. Fox and M. Glasgow have fitted
up neat store room in one of the
Parker buildings on the south side
of the track, in which w. P. Owens

Pine creek rancher, and has had ex-
perience in the butcher business.
VIM. Kearney, a pioneer citizen of
Spokane, and brother of Pat Kear-
ney, of Tonasket, died in Spokane
Tuesday. Mr.. Kearney was interested
with his brother in the Old Dominion

OrOville can boast of one of the very
best orchestras, made up of local tai
ent, to be found in any of the smaller
towns in the state, and few of the
larger towns possess a better. Any
of the communities in the valley de-
string first-class music for dances or
entertainments could not secure bet
ter orchestra anywhere.
The county institute will be held at
Conconully from the 18th to the 18th
of October. Those who will have to
undergo the hardships of the trip will
understand why there has been a cry
ing demand for the removal of the
county seat for years, cry that has
grown more pronounced since the rail-
road was finished down the valley.
Salmon have been running in the
rivers for some time, but not as un-
merously as has been the case in past
years. Indian camps can be seen all
along the river where the provident
native is laying in supply of pro-
vender to meet any exigencies that
may arise in shortage of grub through
the prolongation of the European war.
A car load of calves arrived at this
place Friday for Messrs. Ellis and
Forde. They will be placed on one of
the ranches in the valley owned by
Messrs Ellis and Forde and raised
for beef. The owners raise a great
deal of feed on their valley lands, and
believe that it will be more profitable
to feed than to sell the raw product.
