Mrs. w. w. Cloud, of Tonasket, ac-
|companied by her daughter, Evelyn
was visitor in Oroville Saturday
coming up with Riley Hurlbert, While
here Mrs. Cloud took advantage of the
opportunity to renew acquaintance
with B. j. Cutler, with whom Mrs
CLOUD attended school in their old
Vermont home many years ago. Hold
on; not many years ago, for Mrs.
Cloud Is still very youthful looking
|matron But those school days were
some time in the heretofore, and the
years since that time seem many to
the two old friends.
Oliver Tufty, of Tonasket, was in
town Monday. Mr.. Tufty has suffered
more and longer from rheumatisM,
this part of the country, and has tried
about every remedy under the sun in
his efforts to secure relief. He has
such faith in Soap Lake that he spent
all winter at that sanitariuln. but
owing to the cold weather did NJ. get
the full benefits from the use ot the
water. Still, he is much bettei than
he was when he first left for the
lake, and proposes goinG back and
giving the lake water thorough try
out.
Will j. Irby, son of Jeff Irby, the
popular locomotive engineer, and a
brother of Mrs. Ed. Klingman, will
graduate from the Kansas City Med
ical College, which he has attended for
several years, on May 5. Young lrby
joined the medical service at the time
war threatened with Mexico, and saw
service on the border. Now a full
the colors in the medical department.
Mr.. Irby is a most likeable young man
and very young man to be a prac-
ticing physician and we are satisfied
that he will make an enviable record
In the profession that he has chosen
for life work.
Herbert Curtis came in from the
tungsten mine Monday evening. The
tungsten property as is well known,
is located high up in the rough coun-
try west of Loomis, SO high up that
snow falls every month in the year.
Mr.. Curtis reports that there is at
least five feet of snow in the noun
tains, and it keeps coming as itsnow-
ed every day of the twelve he was
at the mine. 1t is impossible to go on
with the work under the prevailing
conditions. He predicts high water
this year, largely because of the late
season, as when the snow does COM
mence moving it will probably be so
hot that it will be wiped off with a
rush.
w. L. lngreick died at the Oroville
General hospital Saturday afternoon
Some ten days or two weeks prior to
his death Drs. Pryor and Lewis operat-
ed on Mr.. Ingreick for cancer of the
liver, and at the time little hope was
held out for recovery although the pa
tient was cheerful and optimistic. The
insidious disease had made too great
inroads on the vitality of the sufferer
and he could not rally from the effects
OF the disease in conjunction with the
shock of the operation. Mr.. Ingreick
has homestead on Whisky Hill, where
he has lived for several years. He was
la steady, Industrious man, a good
eighbor and citizen. He leaves a wife
to mourn his loss. The deceased was
some so years of age.

Foundation of DR.. d. H. Lewis new

pebbles, that constitute the chief in

grain of wheat. Without doubt, by
careful washing, many colors, possibly
some coarse gold, could be found in
any of the gravel in this part of town
as the ground is all an old wash. The
finding of placer gold anywhere in this
immediate vicinity, even on the higher
ground, is not surprising, for part OF
the townsite was taken up as mining
claims under the mining law, and
moreover, the presence of gold in the
soil has never been questioned. Only
the claims were never worked to q
