The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1915-04-23

Some of the visitors were hardly as
tall as the bat they handled, yet the
midgets kept the local crowd guess
ing until the game was over. Some
how notice of the games is never CIV
en- out and consequently only few
turn out to witness the contests.
Ed. Kause was down from his ranch
on Palmer mountain Monday, and re-
ports the outlook for crops as very
encouraging in his lycality. He takes
more stock in mining than agriculture,
however, and was expressing regret
that so many promising properties
on the mountain were permitted to
remain idle and undeveloped
Frank Anderson made shipment
OF ore to the Grand Forks smelter
from the o. X. mine, on Kruger noun
tain, recently, and is still busy getting
out more ore. There has been some
talk of installing power drills at the
o. X, which would greatly expedite
the development of that property, that
is one of the best among several on
that large mineral zone.
R. l.. Picken, of Tonasket, was a
visitor in town for few hours Mon
day. Much of the good roads work
that has been done out of Tonasket
has been. done under Mr.. Picken's
supervision, and there is not better
pleased man in the county than he is
that large slice of the road approp-
ration is to go on road No. 10 be-
tween Tonasket and Oroville.
The Okanogan Independent says:
"Oroville has band which that city
may well feel proud of, and difficult
selections such as Suppe's Light Cav
airy" were handled by it's members
with as much ease IS some of the
lighter marches. The organization
from the junction town consists of
twenty-one pieces, under the direction
OF Frank Bartell. The entire band is
neatly uniformed AID always presents
fine appearance"
G. r. Kittle, assistant sales man
ager of the Jeffrey Manufacturing Co.,
Columbus, Ohio, spent a day or two
in Oroville the latter part of last
week. He is interested with Chas. f.
Sigrist in the orchard lands Just west
Of the high school building, and was
here to look over the property. A
very pleasant gentleman to meet is
Mr.. Kittle, and the acquaintances he
made while here trust he will find his
way back often in the future.
Trees leafed out more rapidly this
spring than we have ever before no.
ticed. Generally there is gradual
swelling of the buds and the leaf opens
slowly, haltingly, reluctantly, decor
iously. This year trees seemed to
burst forth in foliage in single night.
The season is much il advance of
former years. Even apple trees have
been in bloom for over week. It'll
can hardly be expected that this sum-
mer weather is to continue indefinate-
ly without a break.
w. H. Thomas, of the Blue lake
country, between LOOMS and Concon-
ully, spent few hours in Oroville
Saturday. Mr.. Thomas has been
teaching a term of school at Night
hawk. The term will expire next Sat-
urday. He will then return to his
ranch where he is turning his atten-
ton largely to dairying. He has an
ideal place for the purpose, as there
is plenty of water and an extensive
range near at hand.
R. M. Horton, lately publisher of
the Chelan News and temporarily con-
nected with the Okanogan Independ-
ent, was doing business in town sew
eral days during the past week. Mr..
Horton is newspaper man of wide
experience and a bright and clever
writer. He expects to give up news
paper work, in which the remunera-
ton is never commensurate with the
labor performed, and locate at Seattle,
entering other fields that promise
better material reward.
There was an unfortunate, yet I'M
omission In the itcm pub
lished last week relative to the en-
tertainment given by the little tots
of the public school. That mistake
was the failure to give well deserved
credit to Mrs. l.. Crisman for the as
sistance she rendered in making the
entertainment all that it proved to
be. Mrs. Crisman is finished musi-
clan and she played all the accompani-
monts to the singing and her aid and
advice was very strong contribu-
tory influence in making the per-
formance such marked success.
Already the young people about
town have commenced bathing in the
Okanogan river at the bath houses,
some of the boys initiating the sport
Saturday and others repeating the ex-
perience Sunday. AS the water is
somewhat the nature of ice in the
matter of temperature, more comfort
