pastor of this church, as permaNept
residents we believe that their work
could be more efficiently accomplish
ed for the enlargement Of the useful
ness of the church, and certainly Oro-
| willie needs the moral influence OF the
church, no matter what may be its
denomination, as much as any town
of the same size in the state.
One of the most fetching and atten-
ton attracting display windows on
the business streets Is that Of Frank
& Sons automobile accessory empor-
lium. and it has elected many favor
fable comments from the passing
lthrong. One would hardly imagine
there were so many and various fix
lures to car until looking over this
collection of necessary attachments.
This new business house Is valuable
addition to the town, and very greet
convenience to the public since the
auto has become more and more Of a
necessity as a means OF transporta-
ton. No more ordering Of extras at a
distance and awaiting the long and
uncertain delay of arrival. You get EN-
right at home.
Our local shoemaker, Chas. Kile, has
recently added a most complete AMI
lconvenient piece Of machinery TO hB
shoe repairing department in the wa
|of finisher. 1t does work better than
can be done by hand and and many
times more expeditiously. 1t can hard
ly be said that the operator can throw
a piece of leather into the machine and
have 1t come out finished shoe, but
after the rougher work Of repairing
Is done the shoe is placed in the ma
chine and 1t comes out neatly finished.
There is even polisher attached,
and power for sewing machine. The
machine is operated by electricity.
Mr.. Kile has only to touch a button
and the flnisher does the rest. The
addition Of this piece of machinery
gives Mr.. Kile the most complete and
up-to-date shop in the county.
1t is reported that a number Of res
idents Of Oroville and vicinity are pre-
pared to answer the call for volun-
teers. Geo. Wilson, who has been a
sailor, is anxious to join the navy. He
states that efforts have been made to
talk him out Of enlisting by people in
this vicinity. 1t might as we'll be un-
derstood at once that persons who at

anything but an American, and If you
cannot be an American swiftly hike
for Mexico, as that Is now the only
country within reach where a disloy

M. p. Spencer of Wenatchee and
county clerk of Chelan county, spent
Tuesday in Oroville. 1t was Mr.. Spen-
GERS frs visit to Oroville and the
north part of the Okanogan valley and
he was very much pleased with the
appearance Of the town and country.
Mr.. Spencer at one time was connected
with the old weekly Advance, publish
ed in Wenatchee long ago. but has
given up the print shop for more
profitable occupations, which means
about any occupation that a man
might elect to follow. AS a pioneer of
eastern Washington Mr.. Spencer has a
front seat with the earliest birds, as
he was rsident of Spokane Falls be-
fnrQ tho offiv tol
Queen City of the West settled on the
single name of Spokane. 1t was much
of pleasure to meet the old timer,
whom we knew in the callow days Of
Spokane.
VIM. Ford, who has spent the winter
in Oroville, a guest of his sister, Mrs.
w. l.. Davis, left Tuesday morning for
Seattle, taking with him two teams of
horses. From Seattle he will take the
first boat north to Alaska, where he
has spent the past dozen years. Mr..
Ford is rugged, reliable westerner.
He is one of that remnant of argo-
nauts who followed the lure of gold to
California away back in the SOS anu
lived through the exciting days of the
formation of the state of California.
From California he came north to
Washington some years ago, and fol-
lowing the northward trend went in
to Alaska when the gold excitement
attracted men in that direction. Mr..
Ford is far advanced in years, yet he
Is still as tough as an oak, and looks
good for still many more years to
come. He is welded to Alaska and
may elect to make that country his
future home, yet his friends trust he
may occasionally return to his former
haunts and renew old acquaintances
w. c. Jones of Nighthawk arrived
from Seattle Tuesday evening, stopp-
ed over in Oroville Tuesday night the
guest of Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Grubbe.
and departed Wednesday morning for
his home. Mr.. Jones returns a new
man. For months Mr.. Jones was in
failing health. He went from here to
Soap Lake In hopes that the waters
would relieve him of what he sulpos-
ed to be rheumatism. Not improving,
he went to Seattle, and was soon laid
up in the hospital. He did not mend.
On the contrary he steadily declined.
and the gravest fears were entertained
by his friends that his illness would
prove fatal AS a last resort an op-
Grafton was decided upon. His appen-
dix was found to be out Of place and
very much diseased. That useless ac-
cessory of the interior Of man was
removed, Mr.. Jones commenced i'm

the way to permanent recovery.
