Dell Hart started out for Penticton
last Friday with the Wenatchee crowd

after reaching Okanogan Falls had to
turn back and flutter in on the rims.
The town was pretty we'll deserted
Sunday with ball teams absent at To-
nasket and Nelson. Besides the play
ers quite number OF fans motOred
down to Tonasket to witness the game.
The dance to be given in the Orph-
cum this evening by the ball club
should be one OF the largest that has
taken place in town for many months.
The receipts go toward the benefit Of
the club.
Penticton plays ball in Oroville this

trieve themselves for the defeat SUI
fered through the hands Of the same

Geo. Whistler informs us that
peaches and other small fruits were
not injured by the late frOsts in the
valley, and the crop promises to be
larger this year than for any season
for long time.
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Hixon were in
town Tuesday from their Palmer
mountain ranch. Mr.. Hixon reports
that crops are looking more promis-
ing in his section of the county than
at any season in years.
Dick Butler arrived in town the lat
ter part OF last week for short stay.
He is still engaged in mining near
'Roseburg, Oregon. That is he says
he is as yet merely prospecting, the
real mining is to come later.
Fred Clark was able to be around
town this week, although somewhat
wabbly. Usually humps are looked
upon as a joke, but in Mr.. Clark's
case they are far from being funny
as he was very, very sick man for ten
days or two weeks.
The Wenatchee visitors remarked
that the reception rendered them at
Oroville was the largest and most en-
thusiastic that they had met with on
the trip. If any town along the route
did any better the people must have
turned themselves inside out.
Mrs. David Smith is very ill with
dropsy at the home of Geo. Whistler.
Mrs. Smith has been seriously afflict-

was not expected to live from day to
day. Recently she has shown signs
of improvement and may eventually
recover.
All fishing and hunting licenses, no
matter what may be their date, expire
in February, and in order to be en-
titled to fish or hunt licenses must be
renewed every spring. 1t is just as
well that sportsmen make a note Of
this, as they are liable to get into
trouble by trying to fish and hunt un-
der an old license.
DR.. Elmer has been appointed health
officer for the town, and as a result
cleanup orders may soon be issued.
There are premises that could be i'm
proved by a campaign of renovation.
The scholars Of the public school
will put in the balance of the term,

School closes next Friday, May 20.
A young stranger somewhat awash
with Joy water, entertained crowd on
Main street last Thursday evening by
his fondling of a large dag, carrying
his affectionate demonstrations so far
as to kiss the animal. 1t was anus
ing to the onlookers, or to those Of the
onlookers who could see anything
amusing in such a silly exhibition, but
hell on the dog.
During the past week the front Of
H. j. Desmond's hardware store has
been illuminated with number Of
prominent signs so they who run may
read. This exposition of lettering was
not necessary for local information
for the town people know what high
grade stock Desmond carries, and
