school board has made his report to
| the county superintendent which
shows that there are 215 children of

DR.. Lewis had his hands full and his
time pretty thoroughly occupied last
week at his Oroville hospital having
performed no less than nine major

to him from distant points. Every
room in the hospital IS occupied with
patient, and three nurses kept on
the jump.
Tuesday S. H. Sanderson was called
home from his place of business to as
sassinate a rattlesnake that members
of the family had discovered in the
back yard. Mr.. Sanderson very
promptly responded to the summons,
and expeditiously and cheerfully MUIR
dered the reptilian intruder. 1t is the
first time for years that a RATHER
has invaded that part of town.
M. LAUDER, of LOOMS, was visitor
in town Tuesday. Mr.. LAUDER is one
of the pioneers of the valley, his old
ranch on the river being one of the
land marks of this neighborhood. He
refuses to believe the allegation, but
it is a fact nevertheless that he is
looking younger at the present time
than he did when operating the ranch
and fighting mosquitoes on the river.
Chip in and aid in the construction
of a library. Do this voluntarily.
Heretofore when money has been
raised for any purpose it has been the
custom to solicit people personally.
An effort is being made to raise the
amount necessary for a neat building
by appealing to the civic pride of the
population. This does not seem to
touch the spot, or pocket. Come
gentlemen respond, and respond liber-
ally.
The number three seems to be
hoodo to the Okanogan ball club, as
those figures have had a place in
every game the club has played re-
Gently, and every game has been a de-
feat. Okanogan lost to Conconully,
in the championship game of the
league, by a score of to lost to
Penticton to 3, lost to Oroyille to 8,
lost to Oroville to l, lost to Oroville
5 to 0. Three has Okanogans goat
and the club will have to break away
from the jinks or it's days of winning
are over.
j. H. Taylor, organizer of the Wash
ingtonIdaho division of the Farmers
Educational and Cooperative Union
of America, was a visitor in Oroville
Monday, and spoke in Odd Fellows hall
Monday evening. Only comparative
ly few were present, which was I'M
fortunate, as Mr.. Taylor is an earnest
and interesting talker. During his
visit here Mr.. Taylor met large num-
Der of farmers and citizens. He is
Il most pleasant and agreeable gentle
man personally, and is doing a good
work for the farmers of the state
Mrs. Fannie H. Stark, wife of
Sheriff Harry Stark, died at the home
of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Jas.
Hanson, living near Chesaw, last week.
The death Of Mrs. Stark was not
wholly unexpected, as she has been in
declining health for several years and
has been failing fast of late. She
leaves a husband ard two daughters,
one six years old and the other an
infant but six months. The friends
Of Mr.. Stark throughout the county
extend to him their sincere symathy
in this hour Of his great bereavement
The Wenatchee World reports that
trains on the branch often reach that
place several hours late. This is
caused by the large amount of freight
business On the line, and so long as an
accommodation train only is operated
on the branch there is little hope for
the trains making schedule time run
ming either north or south. The fact
is that more business has developed
on the branch than the railroad COM
pany expected, and if a passenger SER
vice is to be kept up that will invite
travel a special passenger train will
have to be put on the run.
Cal. Tilley has given up the position
of baggage master at the local depot,
which he has held for some time. The
company demanded more work from
him than one man could very well
perform, and Mr.. Tilley resigned.
During the time he has been connected
with the position he has been one of
the most faithful and energetic en-
ployes of the railroad. He was always
| under every stress, courteous and ac-
commodating in the performance of
his duties, and was popular with his
| associates and all who had business
