and cannot see that time has made
great deal of change in him.
A few judicious repairs on our nail
head sidewalks would save the soles
and souls of the agGlie inhabitants
who are compelled to stumble over
the protuberances, contact with which
is neither pleasant to the feet nor con
ducive to moral discourse.
Mrs. Ed. Hawksworth, who passed
through a delicate operation at the
Oroville hospital last week, is steadily
improving. Under careful nursing,
nutritious diet and rest she will fin
ally come out of the hospital greatly
improved in health and strength.
Roy Vincent left for Orient Monday,
where he will visit with his family
for a week. Before leaving he resign
ed his position with the Oroville Com
mercial Company, that he has held

The Spokane Interstate Fair opens

nual events OF cas- !ern Washington,
and always draws great crowds. Any
OF the residents OF this place or vicin-

so to Spokane and take in the fair.
1t lasts all of next week.

Fraser and A. e. McMahan, judges;
and Il. Il. Hoose and Carl Hamilton,
clerks. l.. +. Pourtalcs was named by
the commissioners as one OF the
judges, but as Mr.. Pourtales is away
from town Mr.. McMahan was selected
to ill the vacancy.
Harry Stark has made a record as
sheriff that he can wei be proud OF.
During his two years OF service not u
single prisoner has escaped from the
county jail, something that few il any
OF the former shcriti5 can boast OF.
The closest call to losing prisoners
was the break OF last FRIDAY ana
that was nipped in the bud
VIII lrby and Frank Bowerman re-
turned home Friday Vast from a hunt
ing trip into the mountains west oil
Peak. Yong lrDy returned
with his face swollen all out OF shape,
the result Of an liberated tooth, Which
punished him fearfuIiy, yet he 1elt
recompensed for his suffering, dis he
to kill a arge buck.
e. N. Grub returned home MonGay
alter an absence OF several weeks
at Seattle, where Mrs. Grub was tak-
ing treatment. Mr.. GrubD is much in
proved in health and MIS-. Grub is
very much bettSr tt all she was when
she lett Oroyille. Mrs. Grub stopped
Oft at Nelson on her way home 10
visit day or two with friends and

We see by the Riverside Argus that
Hon. Hans Lund, Of Kansas City, is
again in the county on one OF his
regular trips. For number OF years
It has been a habit of Mr. Lund 10
make a trip to Europe. The strained
relations OF several OF the neighbor-
ing nations across the water stood i'll
the way of MIR. Lund keeping UP the
nabit this year.
The volume OF travel on the rail
roads running into OroVille is very
heavy. Hotels and lodging houses are
full, and many strangers
are to be seen on the streets every
day. Besides travel by train every
day in the week several auto loads OF
visitors from outside points come to
or pass through OroVille, which con-
tributes to making the town one OF
the liveliest in eastern Washington.
There were 256 nameG OF voters reg
istered in Oroville precinct Tor the
primary election. That includes only
voters living within the corporate lin
its, and is probably 50 short OF the
actual number OF Legal voters in town.
There are other towns III the county
that cast a larger vote than Oroyille,
hut where larger votes are cast the
precincts include large territory out
side the corporate limits of the town.
Miss Georgian Donald, of Tonasket,
was a visitor in Oroville Friday last
and met with a warm welcome AMONG
her old friends. Miss Donald was at
the head OF the Oroville schools for
two terms as principal, and made an
excellent record in that trying posi-
ton. AS a candidate before the pri-
maries for school superintendent she
travelled extensively over the county
during August, but showed no signs
when here of the strain of vigorous
campaigning.
Judge w. C. Brown took charge OF
the ballot box and ballots OF the coun-
ty seat elimination vote in this pre-
cinct. This action was taken so no
question might arise over the legality
OF the vote after injunction papers
had been served on the regular cleo
ton officers. The action Of Concon-
ully at the eleventh hour made no diff
ference in the vote, only entailing un-
necessary hardship upon individuals, q
proceeding that will react against thai
place at the general election.
