Saturday afternoon, the Kings Daugh-
ters of Loomis entertained large deega-
tion from the TonasSet Civic League. II
was expected when an invitation was eX-
ID
the ladies OF Loomis that possibly half :,
dozen members would respond. Instead o.
half a dozen, some 25 Tonasket ladies
attended the reception. 1t proved to be a
case of the more the merrier and while
the Kings Daughters were pleasantly
surprised, they extended the visitors u
most cordial welcome The meeting proved
to be one of the most interesting as well
as enjoyable ever held in the old camp

extending entertainment and hospitality
to visitors.
The steady growth of the local tele-
phone system Is an indication of the
growth of Oroville. Mrs. Anderson Is to
get out new directory at once, which
shows a large increase in the list of pat
rons. There is constant expressed wish
yet will hardly justify extra help to keer
open throughout the "a hours. Mrs. An
derson may extend the hours to 10 o'clock
from the switch board is Sunday even
ings. when the service closes at O'Clock
If patrons could be induced to agree to
use the wires only in case of emergency
Mrs. Anderson would arrange so that
night calls could be answered Closing
the office at night works Inconvenience
to the doctors and hospital at times, and
Mrs. Anderson would be willing to ans
Wer such calls if she was protected
against the annoyance of useless night
conversations.
The Omak football squad held the husky
Okanogan team down to a score of I3 to
Saturday which would indicate that the
Oroville boys have their work cut out fol
them tomorrow when they meet Omak
on Omaks grounds. 1t is going to be a
same class they did here Saturday the
question of victory will hang in the bal
ance until time is called in the last quar-
ter It Will be a game worth seeing and
IL some residents n A.,
VIII be able to make the trip and lend
help on the side lines.
