Considerable interest is being shown
in old town real estate this spring.
The Union Title & Trust company re-
ports the transfer of a number of lots
during the last two weeks. A Mr.. Fry

OFF FOR THE VACATION

The teachers of the public schools
have scattered to the four winds, or
will be scattered within a short time.
Monday morning Miss Lulu Dodson
kane Miss Dodson's home. The two
young ladies contemplate a visit to
the San Francisco fair If Miss Dod-
sen does not go Miss Goodwin will
take that route for her home at BaX-
ter Springs, Kansas. Miss Mabel c.
Griffith left Tuesday for Wenatchee.
After visiting with a sister in that
city for few weeks she will return
to her home at Bellingham. After
visiting with friends in the county
Miss Edna Gooding will return to
her home at Bellingham. Miss
Griffith and Miss Dodson have taught
in Oroville two terms. None of these
four young ladies applied for reap
pointment as teachers. They go
hence probably never to return, but
they leave many friends in Oroville
who will never forget them. Prof.
and Mrs. N. B. Nance will visit with
friends in Wenatchee for fortnight
and spend the balance of the vacation
III OrOville. w. Leonard Davis, owing
to the illness of his father, will remain
III Oroville during the summer. Miss
Alice Horrigan is to be married in
June to a lucky young gentleman re-
siding at Twisp. Miss Gertrude Miller
will visit with Miss Horrigan until af-
ter the happy event, and then go to
her home at Duluth, Mimi, returning
to Oroville to renew her school work
in the fall Miss Rosetta Murray will
spend a portion of the vacation at
Seattle. This corps of teachers has
been one of the brightest and most eff
ficient that has had charge of the To-
cal schools since Oroville was large
enough to give employment to more
than one teacher, and one and all of
the faculty has the esteem and re-
spect of the entire community

RARE LIBERALITY

The contractors doing the street
work have been at some difficulty in
securing the right kind of shale rock
Tor use on the streets. At last an i'm
mense deposit was discovered on Dick
Cases homestead, just one mile west
of town. This shale has been analysed
by G. w. Smith and found to contain
jest the elements needed for the pur-
pose of making a solid and lasting
read bed. With liberality for which
he is entitled to unlimited praise and
credit Mr.. Case has donated this rock
to the town without charge. A large
hin is being constructed at the slide
that will hold at least $50 tons, and
from that bin wagons can be loaded
almost instantly. VIM. Reeder has
taken the contract to haul and deliver
the rock necessary to cover the streets
and as it will require some 1000 cubic
yards Mr.. Reeder will have job that
will keep him busy for some weeks.
He expects to commence hauling next
Monday.

out as a bright particular star. Up
ward of twenty years ago Mr.. Nelson
staked out a group of claims on Ell
lemeham mountain. He remained on
the ground working those claims to
the limit of his reso Irces, and then
moved elsewhere md employment
He never abandoned nor lost trust in
the Ellemeham property. He has
religiously and consistently done the
annual assessment work on the prop
erty, and is here now to see that that
work is performed for the present
year. His faith has never wavered
nor faltered He honestly believes
that he has the making of mine, and
his judgment is worth while, because
he is familiar with mines and mining
from having lived in mining countries
for years. Such persistency and con-
sistency is certainly deserving Of o
liberal reward.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION

For several years Okanogan county
has been what is known as Prem
iEm" county in Sunday school work
Each year the county Sunday School
association holds big rally and con-
vention at some point in the county.
Last year it was held at Brewster.
This year it will be held at Omak on
June 34. Both of the local Sunday
schools are planning on sending big
delegations. Railroad rates of one
and one-third fare has been arranged.
A number have planned to drive down
with camping outfit. Omak has prom
ised free entertainment to all who at
tend. There will be a number of Sun
day school experts, from out of the
county, on the program as we'll as To-
cal talent. This convention promises
to be a big event in the Sunday school
life of the county.

largely owing to the condition of the
weather. 1t rained almost every day
they were in the valley. The weather
and the condition of the roads were
responsible for the small purchase
here. The buyers expected to secure
at least 100 head in Oroville, and only
purchased between 40 and so. The
presence of the buyers attracted d
large number of people to town, and
the buyers left between $4,000 and
$4,000 in ready money among the farm
ers of the surrounding country, which
helped some considering the scarcity
of that comforting possession known
as hard cash. Messrs. Rutter & Cliff
ton will be back in Oroville again in
few weeks, as the demand for horses
will continue as long as the scrapping
nations insist upon burning powder.

vile Sunday. He was up here for the
purpose of looking after his property.
one of the most attractive homes in
town. Since taking charge of the
Chronicle Mr.. De Vos has given Omak
live local paper. In fact no paper
ir the county more Loyalty and earn
estly boosts for its home town than
does the Chronicle. The people of that
place, however, do not seem to ap-
preciate what the Chronicle is doing
for them judging from the meagre
support extended to the paper. This
is not an isolated case, however, for
it is not often that a community shows
appreciation for the local organ in the
way of liberal support.
Miss Lenore Jones, who is train
ed and experienced nurse and prop
prietoress of the hospital at Okano-
gan, has been confined at the Oroville
hospital for some days with a threat
ened attack of appendicitis. Miss
Jones left Okanogan last week on a
visit to relatives at Trail, B. c., and
was taken ill on the train between
Okanogan and Oroville. AS soon as
she reached Oroville she went into
the hospital for treatment. Fortunate
ly her case was taken in time and she
made such marked improvement
that an operation was not considered
necessary. Miss Jones has many
friends in Oroville, where she is well
known, who will be pleased to learn
that she is so far improved as to be
we'll on the way to recovery.

OUTLOOK BRIGHT e,

Every indication points to
the final and favorable action
of the railroad officials in the
matter of promoting the bond
sale and early carrying out of
the construction of the West
Okanogan Valley Irrigation
system, Such information as
has recently been received
from st. Paul is of the most
encouraging character, and it
is evident that those who have
the proposition in hand are
working earnestly to bring
about a favorable solution of
the situation. During the week
wire was received from r.
Budd, assistant to President
Hill, which says:
Il may be coming west in
time to close matters. In
meantime please give what
ever assistance possible to
Judges Brown and Neal so
that all legal matters will be
arranged"
That certainly is the most
favorable news that has been
received since tho railroad
showed a disposition to aid in
carrying out the project this
spring.

Last week was rather a lively whirl
of social dissipation for high school
pupils and teachers, and by the time
the curtain was rung down on the
1914-15 term the faculty and scholars
were in very much of a state of col
lapse. There were social functions
galore commemorating the end of
school work, and those who were en-
gulfed in the tide will never forget
the pleasures of the week. All hands
enjoyed the rest that followed the ex-
ercises of Friday evening that closed
the festivities.
