amusements, aside from the interest
ing exhibits, will be we'll worth going
to see.
! MIR. and Mrs. Lewis Loback left Mon
day for their home in Colorado. The
Lobacks were visiting with friends
near Nelson when Mrs. Loback was
taken quite seriously i'll with rheuma-
| tism of the heart. She was brought
down to the Oroville hospital, and
greatly improved under treatment. So
much so that she was able to leave
Monday, as stated, although still in a
very weak condition.
Arthur Taylor arrived Thursday last
from Wenatchee and is installed as
assistant in the Oroville Drug store
Mr.. Taylor Is graduate pharmacist
with several years active experience
handling drugs, and comes to his new
position highly recommended. He was
accompanied to Oroville by his wife,
and if the position is mutually salts
factory to employer and employee they
will probably become permanent resi-
dents.
Fremont Mcdaniel was brought
down from Nighthawk Monday even
ing suffering from a serious attack
of appendicitis. He was operated on
at the Oroville hospital the same ev-
ening, and at the time this paper went
to press he was resting comfortably.
The young man had been sick some
days and his condition had become
SO serious that an operation was de-
cided to be absolutely necessary to
save life.
Christopher Gaskell, who has been
assisting Rev. H. D. Chandler during
the summer at Kipling and Knob Hill,
left Monday for San Francisco Theo-
logical seminary, San Anselmo, Cal,
where he will resume his theological
course. Mr.. Gaskell leaves a host of
friends and we'll wishers on the noun
tain, who testify to the excellent ser
vice he rendered among them in Sun
day school and church work and in
the life of the community.
Mrs. J. A. Merva, of Tonasket, is
making arrangements to give dancing
lessons in Oroville, and expects to be
able to start class early in October.
She gave very successful series OF
lessons in Colville last winter. Mrs.
Merva is pupil of G. Hepburn Will
son, of New York, an authority on
all modern dancing and dance music
She will teach all the modern as we'll
as old time dances, an art in which she
is very accomplished instructor.
Mr.. and Mrs. H. w. Champneys
came over from their beautiful and
productive hill ranch in The Cove"
on Palmer lake, and spent last Thurs
day night in Oroville. The Champ
neys spend the summer upon their
place at The Cove" one OF the choic-
est garden spots in the county, and put
in the winter at their valley ranch,
on the Similkameen river, caring for
their live stock. They are pioneer resi-
dents of the north part of the county.
A party consisting of Mr.. and Mrs.
M. X. Rodgers and e. l.. Rodgers, of
Los Angeles, s. G. Rodgers, of Mexico
City, and Mrs. s. W. Taylor, of New
York city, passed through Oroville in
a large automobile Thursday last on
their way south. They had made the
trip north into British Columbia from
Los Angeles, spending some time in
Utah en- route. At the time they were
here they had already travelled 1000
miles, without serious mishap, or any
protracted delay.
A. E. Wieland, of Wenatchee, the
engineer who had charge of the sur
Neying of the East and West Okanogan
Valley Irrigation districts, was visi-
tor in Oroville Tuesday. Mr.. Wieland
was here for the purpose of bidding
Oh work of street grading provided
for in the recent organization of all
Improvement district, which contem-
plates permanent street grading. How
ever, the ordinance has not reached
final passage, and until that time con-
tracts cannot be considered.
Col. and Mrs. A. M. Dewey and
daughter, accompanied by Mrs. w. T.
Howe and daughter, of Spokane, drove
over from the @. S. mine last Thurs
day night and took the train Fri
day morning for Spokane. The Dew

boarding school, and they will attend
the annual meeting Of the @. S. Min
ing company, in which both are heavy

will also take in the Spokane Inter-
state Fair before returning to the
ranch for the winter.
Rev. A. H. Morton, .patsor of the 10
cal Methodist church, left Monday for
Pullman to attend the Methodist con-
ference. 1t is understood that it is
the wish of his congregation that Mr..
Morton be retained for another year.
OF the numerous worthy gentlemen
who have occupied the pulpit of the
local Methodist church none of them
have made a better impression than
Mr.. Morton, whose kindly, benevolent,
Christian disposition has won the re-
spect of the community, outside Of as
we'll as within his own church fold.
