The first mention that we have seen in
the Tonasket Times of the Oroville dedt-
ton to the present time was in the last
issue of that paper, when 1t generously
and profusely expressed appreciation for
of the Tonasket celebration Of several
hundred citizens of this place.
The Okanogan Independent states that
j. IL. Hughes, late county agriculturalist

ed him afflicted with cancer Of the
stomach. Mr.. Hughes has given up his
Sis 90 news wiz
read with sincere regret by all who are

Last week Geo. Bartell sold a Stude-
baker car to Riley Hubert, Of Tomas
ket Now what do you think of that?
Riley Hurlbut, that old time COW man,
manipulating car. Why, he'll be won
dering all the time why the blamed
thing don't buck, and through a habit
of lifetime will involuntarily attempt
to apply the spurs. The glory Of the
Okanogan is departing before the in
PRODUCTION of new tangled ideas. In
another year or two the cow boy will
be riding the range in an auto.
Oroville turned out en- masse last
Thursday to the Tonasket celebration,
showing that up this way a most
friendly feeling prevails towards our
|neighboring town. One hundred and
twenty five tickets were sold for To-
nasket at this station Thursday morn
ing, and every automobile In town
went down loaded to the guards. Oro-
vile people very materially swelled
the immense crowd that was present
at Tonasket on the day of its celebra-
ton and this place had the appearance
OF being deserted.
The business of the local telephone
system, both Immediately in town and
long distance, is growing almost with
leaps and bounds. Only short time
ago one person could answer all calls
and then enjoy long intervals of re-
pose That was before the public had
become educated up to the use OF the
telephone for the transaction OF busi-
ness, or means of social calls. Now 1t
| is different 1t requires relays to keep
tab on the calls, and operators must
freeze close to the stool and be nim-
BILE with the plugs in order to meet the
demands of the impatient patrons. II
business continues to increase 1t will
not be long until the switchboard will
have to be enlarged and flock Of op-
orators employed to meet the demands
! of the public for service,
