he is making his headquarters on the
west side, and served term as mayor
OF Spokane. Both gentlemen spoke
I very flatteringly of Oroville, predict
ing great future for the place. Mr.
Daggett stated that he considered the
town as having the best prospects
of any of the smaller towns in the
state.
The dance given in the Orpheum
last Friday evening under the aus
pices of the Commercial club was well
attended, source of plenty of pleas
ure to the participants and the net re-
ceipts leaves neat balance in the
4th of July fund. 1t is understood that
series of these dances are to be
given.
The last citizen to invest in a car
is Chas. Powell, Sr. He received a
new Ford Saturday and was out Sun
day taking lessons how to run the
blamed thing. No one will enjoy burn
ing the earth in gasoline wagon more
than Mr.. Powell, and he will get lots
of pleasure and satisfaction out of his
new possession.
The marshal has been instructed to
notify property owners to repair wallis
where repairs are necessary. In some
instances these repairs are burning
necessity. Loose boards, projecting
nails and gaping holes invite sudden
injury. 1t is only a wonder that be-
fore this time the town has not had
damage suits to fight.
A letter from Hon. Hans Lund in
forms us that he is back on the dirt
OF his adopted country, at Kansas City,
after four months spent in Denmark,
and as near the outer edge of hostili-
ties as he was able TO reach. He prom
ises to be il Okanogan county during
the latter part Of the summer, COM
ing by the way of California.
Chas. T. Peterson is having hard
time getting over his attack of eczema
The insidious disease is constantly
breaking out, after almost entirely dis
appearing, setting him back from the
goal of recovery. Since his return
from his Methow trip, some two
weeks ago, he has not been able to
give his personal attention to bust
ness.
Ivan Jacobson, who has been con-
nected with the local creamery long
time left for the coast, Tuesday where
he will try and secure a position with
some of the many coast creamery
plants. 1t is Mr.. Jacobson's inten-
ton to attend Pullman college next
winter. The we'll wishes of numer-
GUS friends goes with him on his
travels.
The grain yield this summer is re-
markable as crops will be harvested
from land where grain crops have
raraely been harvested before, all
owing to the continued wet weather,
which, by the way, is further argu-
ment in favor of irrigation Geo. De-
Won, will harvest fully 25 bushels of
wheat to the acre on a dry ranch east
Of town.
w. B. Wood, of Everett, who spent
several yeeks in Oroville recently the
guest of the Prentices, become to
enamored of the town that when he
left he expressed it as Lis intention to

and make this place his home. As he
are made he will be a welcome addi-
ton to the community
The moving of the frame building
occupied by Will Wentworth on Main
street, in order to clear the lot for
| the brick block, was a pretty hard
problem to solve, but |. M. Wickersham
and his assistants accomplished the
job. 1t was a slow and tedious pro-
cess carried out, however, without ac-
cident or damage. and pretty swiftly,
too, come to think about it.
The concrete sidewalk on the First
avenue front of the Hotel de Grub
has been extended to the alley. A
concrete gutter was also put in along
the First avenue front of the lot oc-
cupied by the Odd Fellows hall. 1t
would have been a neat and permanent
improvement if the Odd Fellows could
have afforded to have put down
cement sidewalk ON that street
The city has made contract with
joe Stevenson, the man who made
such an excellent job of it putting
down the cement sidewalks, to put in
two concrete watering troughs for
stock one OH the north and one on the
south side Of The railroad tracks.
These watering places will prove a
great convenience to the farmers driv-
ing into town, and is money we'll ap-
propriated.
Mrs. c. c. Tilley has presented the
Civic League with. q quantity of linen
ior use in the new library building
when ready for occupancy, and Mrs.
II. A. Reed has donated number Of
kitchen utensils that will come in
very handily. No doubt that library
association will receive many contri-
buttons from citizens, IS it is worthy
o. all the support the town people
extend to it.
S. e. Minnick secured the contract
for the construction of w. O. Ham
ich's new brick block on Main street
The character of other construction
work done by Mr. Minnicl; in this
place is guarantee that the new
brick will be built right. COnstruc-
ton will comence IS soon as the lot
is cleared of the present frame build
ing and the necessary excavation has
been finished.
Geo. A. Blackwell Of Riverside, was
o visitor in town several days this
week. Mr.. Blackwell owns one of the
choice mining claims on Kruger
mountain, which is being worked on d
royalty by Frank Anderson. What is
more to the point, Mr.. Anderson is
making fair wages, which would indi-
cate that if worked on a larger scale
the mine could be made the source of
Il big revenue.
While travelling over the newly
macadamized streets why do drivers
persist in following religiously in the
tracks in the center of the road? Why
not spread out and scatter out thus
lessening the wear in one place until
the macadam has fairly settled. If
you will just notice every vehicle pass
ing over the streets insists upon track
ing the one that has passed before,
while there is a wide street to drive
upon thus distributing the wear and
tear
