HERE AND THERE ON THE CURB

Geo. A Blackwell was up from Riv-
| erside Saturday.
Civic League entertainment tonight.
Do not overlook it.
County School Superintendent w.
e Gamble was visitor in town Mon
day.
s. Rayburn. operated on at the hos
pital last week for appendicitis, is
well on the way to recovery.
Judging from the wealth of bios
SONS the fruit crop in this part of the
valley is to be enormous this season.
The scholars of the local school
disposed of a large number of tags
Saturday. 1t was helping out good
cause.
Dr.. Elmer assisted the stork to leave
charming young miss at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. T. Payne Friday MORN
ing last.
Frank Funkhouse', of Spokane, for
merly principal of the Conconully
public school, was a visitor in town
Monday.
Just as the coal man lets go the
ice man gets a grip on you. The ex-
pense of keeping warm in winter and
cool in summer is just about a stand
off.
J. A. Gadbury, of Loomis, was in
town Monday on business visit. For
merly Mr.. Gadbury was frequent
visitor in Oroville, but he has put in
az appearance only twice during the
past year.
Mary e. Switzerland, connected
with the domestic science department
of the Washington State college was
a visitor in Oroville Friday last, on
an inspection tour of the schools of
the county.
Some of the days during the past
week were as warm as the weather
generally is in the middle of June
The mercury in tho thermometers
crowded 80 pretty close on more than
one occasion.
A resident found himself pretty
lonely on the streets last Thursday
with large per centage of the popu-
lation off to Okanogan taking a hand
in placing the corner stone of the
new court house.
Automobiles seemed to be constant
ly moving on the streets Sunday, both
those locally owned and visitors from
a distance. Considering the condi-
ton of the times it is really astonish-
ing the number of cars owned and
operated in this upper country.
Dr.. Elmer is to have his hospital
building, in the north part of town,
converted into a residence, which can
be done with little trouble and not a
great deal Of expense. He has a per-
manent tenant to take the house as
soon as it is ready for occupancy.
A large addition is being built to
the storage house 1T the Woodbury.
Co. lumber yard, in the east part of
ton OF material with the anticipation
of an early and growing d.maEl to
supply tae boom that is to strike this
locality.
Oroville was we'll represented at the
big dance given at Okanogan last
Thursday evening, following the cere-
monies of the laying of the corner
stone. Those who were of the merry
makers report that is was one Of the
most enjoyable dances they have ever
attended in the county
The editor of the Princeton Star
wants to know where the Oroville
Gazette got ham that was recently
lifted from the editorial sanctum.
That is simple. A delinquent subsc
riber squared his conscience.-Mar-|
Gus Messenger. Go up head. You
guessed it the first time.
Those who take spin in a car
across the line on Sunday are expect
ed to pungle four bits at the custom
house at Osoyoos going and coming.
That makes jaunt in that direction
somewhat expensive. The tax is a
comparatively new Innovation, and is
probably a war source of revenue.
Desmond and the Commercial Co.
are going to make it easy for car
owners to secure a supply of gasoline,
by putting up in front of their places
of business gasoline tanks and stand
pipes. 1t is done almost everywhere
else and why not here where so many
cars are constantly coming and going
The Waterville Press says "The
Oroville Gazette is a standpat paper
OF the first water and would not be
happy in heaven with democrats.
That is wholly a supposititious con-
tingency. There are no democrats in
heaven, and our chances Of getting
there are not much better than mem
bers of that party.
