A. Creelman, who was a resident of
Oroville several years ago, and since
that time has been a resident of He'd
At one time Mr. Creelman was we'll to
do, but he put too much faith in the
PLAUSIBLE representations of a shady
mining operator and lost much of his
means.
Arthur Oberg is putting up a resi-
dence in the south part of town. Mr..
Oberg is contractor and builder. He
looked carefully over the various towns
in the valley and decided that the
prospects were better in Oroville than
any place that he has visited, so de-

this place.

there were fourteen automobiles ctand-
ing along Main street and three teams
There were other automobiles travel

which goes to show that the gasoline
consumers are crowding the equine off
the earth, and for a car town OrOville
is no SLOUGH.

OF Okanogan, but of late years living
in Spokane, has returned to the Okla

There was a good attendance at the

Friday evening, that was given for
the benefit of the uniform fund of the

dress.

hoe mine last week and took number
of handsome views of the interior of
the mine as well as the general sur

snow the ledge distinctly, and a big
one at that.

the last fire that incinerated large
section of that pretty little town. These
rumors may be wholly children of the
imagination, but when community
suspects, and suspicion grows out of
calamity, it is difficult to disabuse the
