DekOta farmers nave mad several lean
years and it will require about all they
mike this season to repair losses of
former years. Mr.. Hoskyn, who is an
Experienced aIG skillful engineer, will
open an office ore and mako Oroville
his home for the present.
The new city water wagon arrived
last week, and has been kept moving
lively at night, as The sprirkling is
done after dark. 1t VIII prove a great
benefit both in keeping down the dust
and binding the newly graded streets.
The wagon is arranged for only sin

Miss Gertrude Miller, who taught
here last year and will teach again this
coming year, returned to Oroville Sat-
urday from Duluth, Mimi, where she
spent the summer visiting her parents
Miss Miller was very much surprised
to note the changes for the better that
have taken place since she left, and
declared that Oroville looked to her
like very progressive little city.
Another step in the direction of
metropolitan life is the introduction of
a moving pop corn van SO common on
| the street corners of the larger cities
Oroville has one now. The vendor is
covered in from the weather, and the
rig is equipped with the latest and best
device for popping corn and roasting
peanuts. 1t is a novelty that is going
to pay. Oroville is certainly taking
strides toward the city class.
The rapid increase in population and
the new signs of life in Oroville has
reached that point where business men
will find it profitable to advertise. New
comers are not posted upon the loca-
tion of business houses ard outside
residents do not hunt up new estab-
lishments. The best and most valuable
means of reaching the public is through
the columns of the local paper. To get
business ii is necessary to reach out
for it, ;,nd the way to reach is to ad-
vertise.
Lee Fruit, deputy game warden, was
in town from Tonasket Tuesday. He is
kept pretty busy locking out for Of
tenders against the game law. He says
the impression prevails that hunter
cannot kill two female deer in a seas
on He wishes that that was the law,
in fact that the law excluded the kill
ing of females altogether, but the
statutes made and provided for the
protection of game in this state plainly
reads that two female deer are permis-
sible during cilgle season.
This paper has always cOntended
that the Oroville brick is equal to the
best brick made in the state, and has
had that contention verified time and
again by people knowing something
about brick. Now comes H. T. Roeder,
than whom there is no more competent
witness to DE found anywhere and he
states that the oroville brick are bet
ter quality of building material, taken
as hey run, than anything that is used
in Spokane. The reason that the brick
| carry the qualify Is that Williams &
Finnie make these brick, and as brick
makers they have no superiors.
Mrs. and Miss Umbarger, of Palmer
lake, and Hon. Hans Lund and Arthur
Lund were visitors in Oroville Friday
last Mr.. Lund senior has only re-
| Gently returned from trip to Sweden,
| Norway and Denmark, and gives very
| interesting descriptions of the condi-
| tions in those countries so near the
scenes of the horrible European war.
He was fortunate in being on ships
| that escaped the German submarines,
although while in the zone of danger
the ships boats were always ready
| for moments use, which had the eff
| feet of keeping the passengers, except
ing of course Mr.. Lund, in rather a
state of anxiety.
There was no appearance of the
tagging school boy" Tuesday, nor
nothing of the laggard apparent among
the young school girls as they trooped
toward the school houses, where they
are to be coopod up for the noxt nine
or ten months mastering the intrica-
cies of knowledge. 1t was merry,
bright and happy faxed, eager, cheer
