E. Fitzgerald, who has practicet
law in LOOMS and Oroville for the pas
fifteen years, left last week to TAX,
up his residence somewhere else, bu
where he is to locate no one seems
to know positively. Fitzgerald is one
OF the brightest lawyers that has ever

st. Valentines day fell on Sunday
Fifty years ago the postoffice was
flooded with tender missives from
love lorn swain to lovely maidens OIL
ST. Valentines day. After while
crude caricatures largely took the
place of amatory verses, hearts and
cupids, and gradually the custom OF
sending out epistles on that day has
fallen into disuse.
Chas. Loudon, although retired from
business, still intends to continue ma
king his home in Oroville So far he
has not decided what he will turn his
hands to. Whatever ne elects to do
we trust he will succeed, as Mr.. Loud
on is a very worthy young man OF
steady habits, who has grown up to
mans estate from early childhood in
the north part of the county.
o. S. Allen will resume work on his
new concrete building at the corner
| of Vancouver and Central avenue
within few days that was suspend
ed last fall on account of cold wealth
er. This building will be a marked
improvement to that part of town, and
is only one of a number of first-class
buildings that are expected to be built
about town during the coming spring
and summer.
The revival held in the M. E. church
lately has been we'll attended, and con-
siderable fervor was manifested among
those moved by the spirit, but it is
not known how many brands were
snatched from the burning. No
doubt seeds were sown that will bear
good fruit. Rev. Hawks is spoken of
as live wire in the pulpit, which is
a modern day way of expressing en-
ergy and ability.
To date it is not known whether
Oroville will have base ball team
during the coming summer, but the
chances are that the town will be rep
resented on the diamond, as there are
many enthusiastic fans here and the
place has always had a club in past
years. OF the old players there are
still Powell, Blackler, Hart, Wilson,
the Bartells. Sailing, Prince and 9TH
ers as nucleus upon which to
build pretty strong combination.
An enthusiastic IVeeting was held
at Nighthawk Monday, attended by
residents from the entire surrounding
country, at which a Good Roads club
was organized with A. G. Andrus as
president, and Will G. Jones as Sec
rotary and treasurer. The meeting
went on record as strongly in favor
OF the construction of the Oroville-
Nighthawk road, and those present ex-
pressed a willingness to lend every
assistance in their power toward
building the same.

c. w. Smith informs us that plans
are formulating for the renewal oil
work upon the Owasco mine, near the
falls of the Similkameen. Through
misplaced confidence on the part Of
the stockholders in men who were t.
develop the property the Owasco has
been recklessly managed during thu
past year. That mine should be pro
ducing today, judging from the guam
tity and character of ore in sight, ant
IL handled with any judgment there
seems no reason why it should no
become one of the first paying mine,
in this part of the northwest.
