tend to make Osoyoos a great attrac-
ton for the angler, but if trout con
tinues to bite as they have this spring
the beautiful sheet of water will be-
come a great resort for sportsmen in
future years.
Mark Mitchell and Clifford Warren
who have been attending school in
this place, and keeping bachelor quar-
tiers returned to their homes near
Nelson this week. Bright scholars
and clean, likeable young men are
they, and their friends, of whom they
have many in Oroville, trust they may
return next fall to renew their studies
in the local high.
The Chesaw ball club will meet the
local nine on the home grounds Sun
day afternoon, game to be called at
2:3O. Chesaw has a strong aggrega-
tion of ball players this year, and the
game Sunday bids fair to be close and
exciting If the weather is favorable
very large crowd will no doubt be
on the side lines adding to the gaiety
OF nations by the usual noisy roofing.
A number of residents of Oroville
attended the Victoria Day celebration
at keremeos Monday, hobnobbing with
their Canadian cousins and putting in
a pleasant day. Baseball, stake racing
and game of Lacrosse, which was a
novelty to the American visitors made
up the sports. The crowd was much
smaller than was expected, but those
present made up for the shortage in
enjoyment.
During the dry weather it keeps
Water Commissioner Hoose pretty
close to the pump house in order to
that consumers have enough water
for use. While lawn sprinkling is in
vogue there is tremendous consump-
ton of water, and too often an I'M
necessary waste. A few payments for
excess water on a meter system would
be a strong incentive for patrons to
be more careful.
The local band attended the Kere-
meos celebration in q body and sus-
tanned the reputation the organization
has gained by furnishing high-class
quality of music. Many were the flat
tering words of commentator that
was heard among the crowd, showing
that the efforts of the boys were
thoroughly appreciated. The orchestra
connected with the band remained over
and played for the dance given in the
evening.
Herbert Gregg is again out with
his camera taking scenic views, and
no photographer in the land can sur
pass Mr.. Gregg in the beauty finish
in the higher Photographic art. The
pictures he took years ago in the
Loomis country were gems, and he
has greatly improved in his work
since those days. He has had some
trouble getting what he wanted in the
way of views, as the atmospheric con-
dition have not been favorable lately
for picture taking, the haze that has
prevailed for some time being a detri-
ment preventing clean cut finishing.
The dance given by the members of
the ball club last Friday evening in
the Orpheum theater, was very large
~ attended, and lovers of the pastime
have seldom had a better time at a
public dance in this place, at least
that is the concensus of opinion Of
those who were present. Supper was
furnished by number of the ladies
interested in the success of the club,
and served in one of the store rooms
of the old Peerless hotel. The receipts
are to be applied to maintaining the
club, and thanks to the liberality of
the public very handsome sum was
realized.
If this town is going to do anything
in the way of celebrate. 6 on the 4th
were being taken in the way of get
ting move on. Considering the many
drains on the community this spring
l. may be considered wise to let the
4th go by default this year, but the
last two celebrations that the town
pulled off were such grand successes
hot hn hi ,tr
to go in for hurrah on a big scale
again. Indeed it would not be such
bad plan to make the Oroville 4th
Of July celebration the great event of
the county every year. Our people
have demonstrated that they know
how to do it right when they start in,
and the reputation SO established
would draw great crowd here on
that date.
On his way home last week from
Cashmere where he had been visiting,
Rev. H. D. Chandler had a sad ex-
perience en- route. He made the trip
between Wenatchee and Pateros by
auto. In the same car were Mr.. and
Mrs. J. d. Moore and family, who were
on their way to Tonasket from We
natchee, where they were to make
their home. Among the children was
an infant only two months old. The
child showed no symptoms of illness
when the car started on the trip. 1t
was carefully wrapped up, and gave
no signs of distress. When the car
reached Chelan and the infant was un-
covered the parents were Mortified to
find the little one dead. Death may
have occurred from suffocation, or a
sudden attack of sickness The family
