Rebekah lodge. 1t is said that Charlie
Loudon presided over the stew pan,
and he is pronounced to be an artist
at serving bivalves in that shape The
feed was a case of reciprocity, as the
Rebekahs recently banqueted the
odd Fellows.
R. Grieger left Tuesday for Soap
lake, in the hopes that the baths will
relieve his rheumatism. Mr.. Grieger
has been confined to his bed for sew
eral weeks suffering intensely with
rheumatism in the left ankle and leg
The bee remedy, that has been so
successful in other cases, was given 4
thorough trial, but gave no relief. AS
a last resort he is to try the baths at
the celebrated Soap lake.
Next Tuesday is the date for the
town election. While there is only
one contest for Office, and on the sur
face people seem to be perfectly in
different, yet it is case of still water
running deep, for much quiet work
Is going on. 1t is sincerely to be re-
GREETED that any contention has arisen
over local offices, for it would have
been such an agreeable novelty to
have had one election in Oroville
where all could unite on the ticket
nominated at a public caucus.
]. c. Cresson stopped over in town
Tuesday night on his way to his home
at Chesaw from a trip to Seattle. Mr.
Cresson went out only some ten days
ago to have his eyes treated, expect
ing at the time to be absent several
weeks. Much to his surprise as well
as satisfaction his physician informed
him that his eyes were doing even
better than could have been expected
under the circumstances, and that it
would not be necessary for him to re-
main in Seattle, assuring him of
steady, and permanent Improvement
BY invitation DR.. d. H. Lewis oc-
| cupied the pulpit of the M. E. church
Sunday, and delivered lecture on
tuberculosis. From experience, study
and research DR.. Lewis is eminently
fitted to lecture intelligently upon the
subject, and his talk was entertain
ing, instructive and interesting. More
general knowledge upon the subject
of the white plague would be bene
fetal to the public, and in time would
result in reducing the terrible inroads
o, consumption, if it did not eventual
lv eradicate the disease.
The delights of Thanksgiving festi-
vities are only a pleasant memory
now, yet at this late date it can be
said that the day was more generally
observed in Oroville than usual, and
that toothsome dellcac1es found
place at every board. A feeling of
thankfulness prevailed, for our people
have much to be thankful for. Thank
full that our country is at peace at a
time when so many nations are suf-
fering from all the horrors that war
engenders; that the general health of
the community is most excellent; that
they are living in one of the most
favored sections of the best state in
the Union. The person who could not
feel thankful under such circum-
stances would kick at his lot if strum-
ming harp in paradise.
On the 9th of last month Frank
Meyers, stepsOn of A. d. Sorenson,
aged about 16 years, robbed his father
of $40 in cash and check of $50. The
boy Immediately left town. The sher-
ifs Office was notified of the robbery
and the officials have since been busy
trying to locate the lad. Getting wind
that young Meyers was at Priest Riv-
err, Idaho, Sheriff Stark went to that
place last week and succeeded in Sc
curing the runaway. He arrived here
with his prisoner Monday evening, and
Tuesday an examination was held be-
fore Judge Parsons, who bound Mey-
ers over to the superior court. Mr.
Sorenson has no desire to prosecute
the hayward lad, and if arrangements
can be made with the court he will
be placed in school on the promise,
and during the continuance, of good
behaviour.
The Tonasket Times states that a
new furnace is to be installed at the
Lucky Knock anthony mine, near
Whitestone mountain. The war in
Europe has cut off the supply of that
metal very largely, as much of it has
heretofore come from Germany, and
hence the price is soaring upwards.
With an increased price this mine
may be worked to profit. 1t is to be
hoped that the original discoveries
will yet be able to realize something
! handsome from this property. Here
is one of the largest anthony de-
posts in the country. 1t is situated
near the railroad, can be worked and
the ore extracted at a minimum cost,
and it should have paved operation
years ago. Several efforts have been
made in the past to produce and treat
the ore, but so far without success
for some reason not known to the
public.
This office has received map of
the south half of the Colville Indian
reservation and with it a pamphlet
descriptive of the country embraced
within the reserve, the climate, and
