the other night. Indications are that
there will be extensive work done
there this spring.-Chesaw News.
At an operate and patriotic concert
recently given at Grand Forks, B. c.,
it is noted that Mrs. J. c. Irving, for
merly a popular resident and accom-
plished musician of Oroville, appeared
on the program in three numbers.
With a $4,000 court house going
up at Okanogan, and the prospects of
a $50 900 school house at Tonasket,
and $4,000 hospital at Oroville there
will be considerable improvement
carried out in the valley this year.
A. l.. Taylor is back in the drug
store dealing out prescriptions COM
forting, and otherwise, after several
days illness. The ailment was not
serious, yet it rasped off some of his
flesh, and he had none too much to
spare.
There is rather a contrast between
the brand of weather in the valley
and ON the Nelson hill. Spring has
reigned for four weeks down here
while the uplands are still covered
with snow that can be seen from the
valley.
Residents from the upper reaches
of Ellemeham noun tain report snow
going off rapidly. AS all the frost is
out of the ground the water is getting
in where it will do the most good,
which promises excellent crops for
next fall.
Lew Hendrix of this place has own
ed and operated by proxy harness
shop in Nelson for some time. The
Nelson Leader states that Mr.. Hendrix
has just sold the shop to G. w. Mckee,
OF Okanogan, who will continue the
business at the old stand.
The butcher shop of w. P. Owens
is no more. 1t has been no more for
some weeks. Mr.. Ownes understands
the business thoroughly, but many
times it has been demonstrated that
there is hardly room in town of
this size for two meat markets.
Geo. l. Cole has been given super
vision of proposed repairs on the
bridge across the Okanogan river at
the creamery. A large number of
piling will be driven to strengthen that
structure, and the work will be done
right under Mr.. Coles supervision.
Fishing is sport that has again
opened up with the coming of spring
and is attracting the attention of To-
cal anglers. What luck fishermen are
meeting with is not reported, but they
have the fun of trying for the finny
inhabitants of the lake and rivers,
any how.
w. H. Little, of Wenatchee, and B.
f. Little, Of Winthrop, members Of
the stock firm of Little-Wetzel Co.,
were in town Saturday on business
connected with securing location
near Oroville, which they will operate
in conjunction with their Winthrop
stock farm.
The club dance given in Odd Fellows
hall, under the auspices of the order,
last Friday evening, was well attend
ed as for once in months there were
no counter attractions. Those who
were lucky enough to be among the
merry makers report most delight
full evening.
Prof. A. M. Riste was in town Sat-
urday from his Similkameen valley
home. He had hand swathed in
bandages, a decoration made neces-
sary by getting couple of fingers in
the cogs of a machine. And cogs do
not do a thing to human flesh when
human flesh gets in the way of the
cogs.
Warm rains and mild temperature
are swelling the buds and leaves on
fruit and forest trees, and soon or
chards will be in full bloom. An early
spring followed a remarkably mild
winter, and we have climate of a gilt
edged brand to boast of even if bus
mess is a little off color just at the
present time.
In the senate, at the close of the leg
islature Lieut. Gov. L. F. Hart, e. l..
French, president of the senate pro
tenn, and Frank M. Dallam, jr., sec
rotary, were presented with silver
sets by the members of the senate
The Olympia Morning Olympian says
"all the recipients made feeling
speeches of appreciation"
The Nelson Leader announces a
game of basket ball at that place OF
the 26th of this month between the
Nelson basket ball team and the Orc
vile high school aggregation. This
is mistake, or at least the local team
does not know anything about it. Thu
basket ball season is closed here, an(
the locals will rest upon the recort
made.
