The executive committee of the 4th
of July celebration, and its active sec
rotary, are working steadily in the
preparations that are to close next
week in a blaze of glory. From all
indications the celebration is to be
one of the best of the many that have
been held in Oroville, and the crowd
promises to be the largest There will
be things going on to interest and
amuse all who may be here.
Hon. Dick Hutchinson stopped over
in Oroville Monday night on his way
to Spokane after an inspection of his
mining property near Conconully
Dick lays all the business troubles of
the country to the doors of the dem
ocratic administration, and he does
not mince words in his criticism. His
diatribes would shock our old yet still
young friend Hughie Todd, who thinks
it is sinful the way republicans talk
about the democratic party.
An Epworth League Institute has
been in session at Chelan during the
past week, and Okanogan county has
been largely represented among those
in attendance. There are only eleven
Epworth League Institutes in the
United States, and hence it is an i'm
portant feature of that organization.
The league has a large membership in
eastern Washington, and a great many
members will be present at the insti-
tute. A more attractive place to hold
the meeting than Chelan could not
have been selected in the state.
| The first through mixed train from
Oroville to Wenatchee pulled out Mon
day morning, reaching here on the re-
turn trip at midnight. There were
three passenger coaches and the usual
array of freight cars, making up a
very pretentious train. The run was
made to accommodate delegates at
tending the Epworth League Insit-
tute at Chelan This first train took
out quite list of passengers from
this station, and the line bids fair to
be popular route of travel when the
regular service is established next
month.

vile, accompanied by Mrs Bartells
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. J. G. Green, and

Mr. and Mrs. C. w. Tage were visit
ors in town Tuesday. Mr.. Tage is the
expert man who travels for the Mer
genthaler Linotype company, and
what he does not know about that
complicated piece of mechanism is not
worth knowing. He was on one of his
occasional excursions through the
county looking over machines in COM
mission in the several print shops, and
bringing joy to the owners where ma
chimes are a trifle off color. Mr..
Tage's headquarters have been in Spo-
kane, but he has recently been trans
ferred to Seattle.
Jas. Cameron drives a horse not
much larger than a jack rabbit, and
when it comes to speed the diminutive
nag has B'r Rabbit faded. That por
ton of the pub ic that happened to be
around the depot early Monday morn
ing had an opportunity to see the
Cameron steed do one of his best
stunts. The animal came through the
south part of town like a Kansas cy
clone, hurddling the maze of tracks
west of the coal chute, waving a
fringe or harness and jerking a part
of a buggy shaft behind him. Mr..
Cameron drives in from his ranch west
of town every morning. This particu
lar morning the animal took fright,
upset the cart, tore loose from his
fastenings and made tracks for town.
Mr.. Cameron was thrown violently to
the ground, sustaining a sprained
wrist and some other Commissions.
There was a good deal of disintregra-
ton about the vehicle and harness
Strange to say the horse escaped with
out injury.
