Okanogan has SHE'D its hat in the
ring and announces that it will hold
a three days celebration this year,
covering the list, End and Bird of July
That is all right, but it was hoped
that Okanogan would reciprocate and
help out a crowd at Oroville, as Oro-
Vile has helped out so many crowds
at Okanogan since the location of the
county seat was changed.

The town should take on a lively
appearance today, for this is the date
when Rutter & Clifton will be here
again for the purpose of buying horses
for the French army. These gentle
men were here some three weeks ago
and secured three car loads of horses
and hope to purchase a great many
more on this occasion. The visitors
pay cash on delivery and acceptance,
which should be an incentive to those
who have horses for sale.
c. Clark, representing the old es-
tdblished paper house of Gray, Ewing
4 Co., Spokane, and one of the Oldest
and most genial drummcrs on the cir
cult, was doing business in town Fri
day last. He spent Saturday at To-
nasket, returning to Oroville to spend
and see the ball game. His
stomach went on strike, and he was
laid up all day. While suffering much
misery all day he had the
hard luck to miss dandy ball game.
This office acknowledges a very
pleasant call from Frank Putnam,
publisher Of the TonGs ket Times, who
spent Monday night in Oroville. He
started from Tonasket in Banker
Lands car, but paid his passage by
walking part of the way. In describ-
ing the pedestrian feature of the trip
Put stated that Lund should enter the
Interstate walking matches, for not
withstanding his rotundity he set the
pace on the long hike for his three
companions.

of having too much of a good thing,
and that comes near applying to the
heavy rains that have fallen during
the past week The oldest inhabitant
does not remember when so much
moisture fell in the valley in May.
Considering the fact that extreme
drouth during the summer is what the
people have complained of in past
years this looking upon heavy rains
with apprehension is something entire
~ out of the ordinary for this country.
Many of our residents remembers
Mr.. and Mrs. j. r. Eaton. Mr.. Eaton
was at one time connected with the
local meat market. For some three
years he has been living at Sand
point, Idaho, where, it is a pleasure to
state, he is doing we'll. He still has
warm place under his vest for the
Okanogan country in general and Oro-
vile in particular, and hopes at some
future time to again be a resident of
this place. He would find many old
acquaintance who would welcome
him back.
