Floyd Wickersham was in town
Monday from his ranch near Tonasket.
Mr.. Wickersham has not been in Oro-
willie for several months, as he was
lholed up on his place most of a very
Hong winter.
l.. H. Prentice took the remains of
the late Leslie Hill to Penticton Satur-
|day in his auto truck, for interment,
and was accompanied by Undertaken
l.. w. Barnes, Revue Frank and
Eugene Wehe.
Chas. T. Peterson has resigned as a
member of the town council. Mr.. Pet
erson gives as his reason for taking
this step that business arrangements
prevents him from taking an active
part in civic affairs.
The last word received from ]. A..
Spencer, who is in the Deaconess hos
pital, was that his physicians had at
last diagnosed his illness as typhoid
fever. Mr. Spencer is a very sick man,
but hopes are held out that he will re-
cover.
| Ex-County School Superintendent
wv. E. Gamble, one of the widest known
residents of the county owing to his
having held office frequently during
the past twenty years, Sundayed in
Oroville. He is now making his home
in Okanogan.

following delegates were selected to

ton to be held at Brewster tomorrow:
Geo. |. Cole, Fred J. Fine, J. w. Carol
and B. J. Cutler.
Bill Sexson had a bunch of live
chicks in his show window as an Eas-
ter display that attracted a vast
amount of attention. The little fellows
seemed perfectly at home and exhib-
tied no embarrassment under the con-
slant battery of eyes.
Easter Sunday was one of the
brightest and most beautiful days so
far this spring, which was duly proper
for the occasion, and it may be added
that there was an unusually large at
tendance at the several churches hold
ing special Easter services.
The new awning in front of M. H.
Mahoney's building is the handiwork
of Chas. Kile, the local shoe hospital
proprietor. There are no frills on this
piece of work, but it answers every
purpose. No use sending away for avn
ings that can be produced at home.
E. A. Williams has the lumber on his
lots in Grand View addition, where he
will put up temporary residence for
the summer. If he can dispose of
ranch, for which sale is under ne
lgOtiations, he will build an elegant
suburban home on his charmingly To-
Gated property.
Chesaw Is to celebrate the 4th of
July. Oroville will pass up the cele-
bration stunt for the first time in sew
eral years. Last years experience left
bad taste in the mouth, and so long
as the memory of that celebration
continues the eagle will do his scream
ing elsewhere.
c. T. Doty, formerly town marshal,
came in from OrOfinO, Idaho, last Fri
dav night after his automobile, and left
the next day overland for his new
home. He reports business lively at
Orofino, and that he has fallen into a
good thing. All of which will be cheer
ing news to his friends.
Geo. Riste, prosperous mercant of
Nelson, was on the streets Tuesday.
Mr.. Riste is one of the pioneers of the
county, and lived at one time at
Loomis. Time is throwing the snow
into his erstwhile raven locks, but
otherwise he looks as active and as
youthful as he did fifteen years ago.
Next Friday, May 5, is the date for
the interscholastic meet to be held at

high school lads from this place will
enter the lists and make a try for
prizes.
The Spokane train due here at 7:4O|
last Friday evening did not arrive .un-
til midnight. A couple of freight trains
tried to run out on the scenery at
COlville, and made such a mess of it
that passengers had to be transferred,
and the outgoing train Friday morn
ing was the incoming train Friday
might.
DR.. A. B. Carmichael, of Okanogan,
acting as coroner, was up to the
scene of the accident a few miles east
OF Oroville in which David Thomas
was killed Monday night by the up
setting of Ford car. The accident
was plainly accidental, and the doctor
did not consider it necessary to hold
an inquest.

of the north part of the county, was in
town over Sunday from his home at
Tonasket. Mr.. Sincock owns ten acres
in the Lakeview tracts, just east Of
town, which he has out to fruit, and
which promises to become valuable
possession in time. He was up here for
the purpose of looking after his
property, and incidentally to see his
old friends, of whom he has a large
