The mosquito was late arriving this
year but he is none the less rayenous
on tnat account. The chances are that
the insect will prove a great pest. this
summer on account of the. many, ponds
left standing after the high water. II
these pools could be oiled the crop of
mosquitoes would be very materially
reduced, much to the comfort of the
population.

his residence in the south part of town,
Ia pretty little home ON the bank of the

from, Spokane. where he attended the
annual session of the Grand ..rmy Of

Oroville to Cashmere by auto. and from

OF strangers will visit the valley during
the time that books are open for reg
istrati0n for entry OF COlville reserva-
ton lands, and it Is safe to say that q
number who fail to draw prizes In that
lottery will invest in valley lands. The
valley certainly presents an attractive
appearance just now, and will make q
strong impression upon all who come
