OF club. and few go to attend games

During the height of the water a re-
port was circulated to the effect that
one or two Of the bridges on the Okla
hogan had been taken out, and partic-
ularly the one at Riverside. Like the
balance Of the sensational high water
stories this report had no foundation
|Of fact.

|other column notifying property own
|ers that the first installment of ASSESS
ment is due in Improvement District

and they are expected to dig up before
the 10th.

Mr.. and Mrs. Dallam, who will be
absent three or four days.

where else on earth. Why not at least,
supply the local market.

on the 49th Parallel mine on Kruger
mountain this summer, and judging
from the character of ore that has
been taken out of that claim in the
past it would seem altogether probable
that extensive development would re-
suit in opening up paying body OF
ore.
The three young men who left here
last week to join the National Guards.
Messrs. Dallam, Hash and Burber.

Wenatchee, and left last Friday for

spirits and it was possible that they
would be attached to machine gun
company.

of salts shipped from the works 1t
will not be long before the Oroville
product will be we'll known all over
the world.
One of the most attractive and COM
prehensive displays of mineral that

There are not only raw ores, but BY
products and ingredients of CONNER
cial use and value extracted from the
ore. One would suppose that In
