Joe mcdonald was up from Okanoe.
an IN his car Saturday. Last sprinp Mr.
mcDohald put in several hundred
acres OF wheat on the south half ~ ,ho
reservation. but through the long
urouth the crop was almost failure
we are informed that he has some 200
acres ready for seeding at the present
'ime A good crop next year with tho
government insuring a big price for
wheat, will make him more than even
on his venture.
Mrs A. S. Pratt has on exhibition at
Mr. Pratts store, on the south side of
the track bed spread that represents
lnhnlte patience and labor in the max
ing. 1t is of hand made lace, the de-
signs being regular, intricate and SYM
metrical. The spread is the work of
Mrs. Pratt, and she must have put in
many hours upon it. To those who can
admire and appreciate handsome
needle work this artistic piece Of
handiwork is well worth seeing.
The Oroville Steam Laundry is grad
ually becoming one of the best equip
ped institutions of the kind in the
country. Mr.. Prentice is constantly ad-
ding new machinery with which to
both expedite and improve the work.
Recently he added new boiler of sew
eral times the capacity of the old one,
and he is now installing a new flat
piece ironer of the latest model which
will permit of better service and more
of it. Such enterprise deserves success.
Under a recent new arrangement
postoffices are dependent upon the
postmaster at county seats for sup
plies. That is, all the postoffices in any
one county must make requistion up
on the postofifce of the county seat of
such county for stamps and other nee
essary supplies. This adds very mater
tally to the duties of the postmaster at
the county seats, and no doubt will
carry with those duties an additional
salary. In which case said postmasters
will have no kick coming.
In the list of contributors to the Lib
erty Loan bond issue as published last
week, the name of Miss Laura Hatton
was inadvertently omitted by those
making up the list Miss Hatton, like
nearly every lady in the land, thank
God, is intensely loyal. 1t was not
necessary to solicit her subscription.
She stepped up to the bank and signed
I'D for a 500 bond. If all others had
contributed in like proportion to their
means Oroville's contribution would
overtop it's apportionment many, many
fold.
