which came to us by express last
Tuesday. For nearly twenty years
has Mr.. Scoville thus remembered us,
as regularly as the season comes
round. We would certainly like
mighty well to see him in the valley
once again. Long life and happiness
to him and his.
Mr.. Robertus Love, the we'll known
newspaper writer of st. Louis, was in
Ironton Monday. Mr.. and Mrs. Love,
it will be remembered, spent the
greater portion of one summer in the
Emerson home here about ten years
since. Mrs. Love, we very much re-
greet to hear, has been a sufferer from
rheumatism for a number of years
and is almost an invalid. They are
thinking of coming to the valley
again to make their home and we
hope they will.

That the Spring Opening at the
Lopez Store CompanY's last Saturday
was very largely attended needs no
assertion. The openings at the Big
Store for many years past have been
noted as far beyond and past similar
displaysand exhibits outside the larger
cities. Last Saturday was no excep-
tion to the rule. Manager Ringo and
his assistants had we'll done their part
and most e~xtravagant were the praises
and congratulations extended by ev-
cry visitor. All the latest and fastest
in millinery was on exhibition and the
ladies were more than delighted by
the visual feast spread before their
eyes. A fetching and attractive
cream pitcher was presented every
lady as a souvenir of the happy day
and most successful occasion. The
Big Store again covered itself with
glory.

million dollar power plant to be built

K. W. single unit, built SO it can be

and will be completed sometime this
fall"
The following, taken from a recent
issue of the California Citrograph,
published at Riverside, California,
tells something of our former fellow
citizen, Mr.. Frank Scoville: sin the
summer of 1894 Messrs. George Brown,
T. B. Drinkwater, and Frank Scoville
submitted a plan to build a packing
house to handle all the fruit then in
the colony, and as this was favorably
acted upon by the growers the as
ISOLATION withdrew from the Riverside
Fruit Exchange and application for a
representative on the Exchange
Board of the Southern California Fruit
Exchange vas made. This being
granted, Frank >Scoville was elected
as such representative, which posi-
ton he held continuously from 1894 to
1906. Mr.. Scoville was likewas made
manager of the packing house, which
was thrown open for business in
January, 1895.
