The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1914-04-24

people ana ltS customs, out mastered
the language. A lecture on that ancient
country so little known to the people
OF this part of the globe, by one who
knows it from personal contact, could
not be otherwise than interesting, and
would draw a house even in Oroville
where the popular taste does not run
to lectures.
Mrs. M. Horrigan is gradually gain
ing her normal strength-she never
lost her natural cheerfulness during
her long seige-and is well on the
way to permanent recovery. She came
very near falling victim to pneu-
monia, and her recovery is due to the
skill of DR.. Elmer, and the excellent
care received from the family.
The Oroville creamery has COM
menced manufacturing and shipping
the ice cream that made the estab-
lishment famous last year. The cold
ldelicacy turned out by the local cream
cry will be of the same high-class this
year, and Mr.. Friis will probably have
more orders than he can conveniently
fill during the coming summer
Henry Bahrs went to Spokane Mon
day for the purpose of employing an
engineer to operate the engine at the
Maquay mine. He has been punching
the hole in the ground at the rate OF
ten feet day, and the temporary sus-
pension of work made necessary by
the resignation of the engineer in
charge was a source of great deal
of annoyance.
Otto E. Rehmke's herd of thorough
bred dairy cows have increased by 20

calves are in vigorous condition, and
are beautiful specimens of the bovine
family. The time will come when
owned in the valley, and dairying be-
come an industry second, if not ahead,
of fruit growing.
The department OF agriculture has
just issued publication of particular
| interest to the farmers OF the north
west under the title, Pasture and
| Grain Crops for Hogs in the North
west, and known as department bull
| ietin No. IS. Copies Of this bulletin
| may be had by writing direct to Will

tatives, Washington, d. c.
Tom Pinkerton, of Conconully, roll

hanging on to the steering wheel OF a
new Overland car that he had pur-
| chased through Chas T. Peterson, who
| holds the agency in this place. The
overland seems to be growing in pop
| u!arity as an all around machine, as
MI. Peterson has placed several this
season, and the season is still young.
z. w. Nelson, of Waterville, accom-
panied by his wife and child, came into
Oroviile Saturday with the Logan
party Mr.. Nelson was driving his
own car, a pretty four cylinder Buick.
DR.. W. S. Foulds, OF Gary, Indiana,
who owns a tract in the Ellis-torde
Orchards, arrived Saturday and may
elect to remain on his place through
the summer, turning his hand to
gardening just for recreation and
muscle development.
j. G.. Robinson, of Chesaw, inter-
ested in the East Okanogan Farmers
Telephone company, was visitor in
| Oroville Monday. Mr.. Robinson has
lived near Chesaw, where he owns
considerable land, for number Of
years. When meeting the big, strap
ping man, turning 40 years of age, it
| was hard to realize that we knew him
| first when he was ten-year-Old
| urchin, running the streets of SpO-
kane Falls. 1t stimulated the feeling
that old time was putting crimp in
yours truly.
Judson Murray has sold his large
ranch few miles east of town to Geo.
Devon, a portion of the consideration
being the stock of groceries and mer-
chandise in the store room ON the
ground floor of the Hotel Spokane.
indeed the transfer was decided on
some two weeks ago but hitch in
negotiations tied up the deal for a
| time. The trade, however, is settled.
Mr.. Murray is in possession of the
| store, and Mr.. Devon has a big acre
age of land that is sure to steadily
increase in value.
Dr. H. l.. King was accompanied on
his trip through the county by his
| son, Harry, and although the lad is
, only IA years of age he is already en-
| listed in the ranks of commercial trav-
elers. He represents an eastern house
manufacturing high-grade of leath-
| er goods. A live wire is this young
lad, and he not only talks his wares
fluently, but so persuasively that he
places many orders. With the start

The town presents a rather quiet
appearance during the day time just
at this season, which is the lettering
point between winter and summer,
when farmers are too busy to waste
much time at the metropolis. The
evenings are decidedly different. AS
a rule Main street is crowded as soon
as the lights are turned on. The sew
eral trains dump their quote of trav-
| elers about that period of the day, and
at that hour many of the town people
| turn out for the mail. From the move
ment on the streets under the garb of
night the stranger within the limits
would Judge Oroville to be place of
5000 people, or more. With automo-
biles gliding by, electric lights flash
ing, moving picture shows attracting
crowds, and men and women moving
too and fro Oroville in the cleaning is
a very attractive limitation of small
city. And that is what it is going to
be in very few years, and not so
very small, either.
Col. A. M. Dewey arrived in town
Monday and went on to the @. s. mine
Tuesday. Mr.. Dewey is now making his
home at the @. S., and a very interest
ing and charming place it is in the
Sinlahekin valley, near Blue lake
