the flock of republican candidates
that stood for the nomination to con-
gress from this district before the pri-
mary election. No doubt but that he
feels he had a lucky escape in
not securing the nomination, for with
the sentiment SO strong for Wilson in
the district, to say nothing of his per-
sonal popularity, no one could have
been named by the republicans who
could have defeated Mr.. Dill. Mr.. Null
ligan made a corking good run at the
primaries, showing that he has large
number of friends in the district.
Judge Carey, Of Colville, stopped
over in Oroville Monday night on his
way to Okanogan where he will occu-
py the bench in the superior court
during the January term, as Judge
Neal has a number of cases before the
court in which he was acting as attor-
ney before his appointment to the
judgeship, thus barring him from
passing upon the merits of the littiga-
ton.
The directors of the West Okanogar
Valley Irrigation district are figuring
on building brick office building. An
office has been in contemplation for
some time, and as the district owns
lots centrally located it would be econ
omy to own building and eliminate
rent paying. A brick office would be
more comfortable and far more endur-
ing than frame building and cost
only trifle more.
F. s. Mcdonald, of soda pop fame,
who has been visiting at Portland for
the past three or four months, return
ed to Oroville last week. AS Nc is in
in the habit Of flying away and back
again, at irregular intervals there is
no telling how long he Will iomain
now that h. is here. He Is in prime
condition physically which would IN
dictate that his lines have been cast in
pleasant places during his absence.
Judge and Mrs. C. H. Neal left
OrOville last Thursday morning with
all their household goods for
hogan, where they will make the
home while the Judge is occupying the
bench of the superior court. AS the
Judge still has a warm place in
heart for Oroville and the people
thereof it can be expected that he
will frequently visit the old town, and
be sure of welcome whenever he
does.
The Spokane hotel mas again been
opened for roomers No meals are SER
we'd. The rooms are well furnished and
the house quite comfortable. AS ev-
cry indication points to renewed ac-
tivity in Oroville this spring, the Did
Spokane should secure full patron
age. Mr.. Devon has cgain opened the
store on the ground floor of the hotel
and will carry large snd well assert
ed line of groceries aid general mer
chandise.
Due to the fact that Bovee's head
is somewhat softer than the concrete
walls and floor of the high school
gym the directors of the district will
not call upon him to pay damages. Mr..
Bovee starerd in the basket ball game
Friday evening as basket shooter, and
also gathered a galaxy of stars when
his head came in violent contact with
the obdurate stone walls and floor.
The young man was OF ringing in the
humping stunts as part Of the game
He did the turn under protest as he
was manhandled by the visitors, who
in the excitement of play occasionally
rough housed. Luckily the Oroville
lad was not seriously hurt, and each
time that he was knocked out he came
