John Wentworth returned from se-
attie Monday evening after a visit To
that city OF two or three weeks dura-
tion. He says Seattle is the liveliest
town on the coast, condition brought

there when the news of the allied
success arrived and Seattle fairly
went mad celebrating the great event.
The announcement made last week

mature. Signs of infection developed
in the hand of the arm that had been
broken, and she remained here for
treatment. The hand is slowly i'm
proving under treatment and she ex-
pected to be able to return home this
week.
Are you still buying Thrift Stamps?
Every time you have a quarter to
spare slip it over and secure one OF
those little stamps. Then get enough
OF them to entitle you to a War
Saving Stamp. 1t is enc War Saving
Stamp that is worth while. You can
get one for few cents over $500,
and in 1928 the stamp brings you in
$500.

Last Friday night E. r. Hoose shot
a dog on his premises that was sup
| posed to be mad. The animal had been
| running around the western part of
the town yelping and swapping at
everything in it's way, butting into
the side of buildings, and acting very
foolishly If he was not mad. Mr..
Hoose killed the animal on suspicion,
and it was a good job, anyhow.
Just now the mining interests of
this vicinity are looking up as they
have not looked up for a number of
years. What is more to the purpose
mining is being conducted on more
business-like plans than ever before
and consequently the operators are
making a much better showing. Sew
eral old mines are now we'll on the
way toward becoming producers.

eral hospital last week suffering from
an abcess in the right side and in a
most serious condition. DR.. Lewis

large quantity of puss. The young
man was steadily improving at last
reports with every prospect of full
recovery.
The early morning air for the past
week has almost been tinctured by
frost, premonition of coming fall,
| which, by the way, is not so far
away, when you commence figuring
up the weeks before September. 1t
is devoutly to be hoped that there
will be no killing frost before the
tomatoes are ripe and gathered and
other vegetables so far along that
they cannot be injured.
Miss Frances Tyler has taken great
pleasure in the bathing pool at this
place since stopping in Oroville with
her mother. The only trouble is the
Okanogan river furnishes rather
cramped quarters for her to exercise
her skill as swimmer. The young
! lady swan the Columbia river at
Brewster. which is trying and am
bilious undertaking even for the
strongest male swimmers.
A cannery, so sorely needed al this
place was an impossibility of accom-
plishment this year owing to the war,
and if the war continues the great
want may not be supplied next year,
but when conditions get back to nor
NAL an industry of that kind is sure
to be started at Oroville The fruits
and vegetables for canning purposes
can be raised here in quantities and
quality that cannot be eXcelled.
A member of the State Industrial
department. spent Tuesday in town
rounding up those who have been
careless sending in returns to head
quarters as to the number OF men
employed and other statistical infor-
nation. This delinquency is so COM
mon, and an unintentional delln-
auency be it said, that force has to
be kept in the field almost constantly
Jogging the memory of the careless.
The primary election takes place
month from tomorrow, that Is the
10Th of September. The county cam
pajgn is a tame affair, as no one is
taking any stock in politics. The con-
gressional campaign is warming up,
but nothing is heard of democrats or
republicans. The fight is on Ameri
canism All those who are against
America are for Dill All who are for
An erica are for any one to beat Dill,
and to the devil with his political az
citations.
