Dell Hart, who handles real estate
in this place, states that there are
more inquiries for real estate in this
locality this winter than since he has
been engaged in business. That would
indicate a prospect for numerous real
estate transfers during the winter and
spring.
II Fred Clark, who generally puts up
all the ice used in this place has COM
menced feeling as il his occupation
was gone. There is time enough yet
for ice without end, and If We do not
get 1t plenty before the flowers
of spring the weather record of this
upper country will be broken.
Frank Donald, aged about So years.
an old resident of this upper country.
died Sunday and was buried by the
Masons Thursday. Mr.. Donald has
been in poor health for long time.
He bought out the second hand store
On the south side of the track from
w. c. Carpenter only few weeks ago.
The high school basket ball team
goes to Tonasket this Friday evening
to play return game with the high
school team of that place. IT means an
other scalp for the locals for they
have struck their gait and the team
that puts them to the mat must be
made up of seasoned and experienced
players.
From the quality of basket ball that
the high chool boys are putting up the
crowds in attendance should overrun
the hall. 1t is up to the citizens to
encourage the boys at every Oppor-
tunity and their presence at the games
as we'll as the small sum contributed
for ticket, is the way to extend that
encouragement.
The town authorities have ordered
a Ford truck for use by the fire de-
partment. The cost was far less than
we were led to understand it would be-
If it answers the purpose of making it
easier to get the equipment to fires,
and with greater expeditiousness, the
truck will be valuable addition to
the department.
Among the names of those who have
failed to submit missionaries handed
to the sheriff for action by the exam
ination board are the following from
Oroville: Arthur Charles Lund, Thos.
B. Iddings and Dan Romero. And it is
siderable misery when apprehended
J and called upon the carpet.
Art Wickersham introduced a new
innovation with an auto Tuesday. The
front wheels had been discarded and
a set of hobs substituted, so the car
was half auto and half sled. The rig
travelled and Slowed around corners
all right and was the center of all eyes
but where the advantage is over
wheels is not konwn to the man on
the curb.
Ernest Hart, the young man who
was shot at dance at Havillah by
Heard Mason fortnight ago, is max
ing good progress toward recovery at
the Oroville hospital. DR.. Lewis plac-
ed the young man under the X-rays
this week and located the bullet near
the spine, it having been DETECTED by
a bone. DR.. Lewis feels confident that
Hart will recover.
Fred Clark rushed into the office
Friday last and asked for heavens
sake to take out the Bargain Column
notice that has been running ANNOUNCE
ing that he had young pigs for sale.
The pigs were snapped up the first
week the advertisement appeared and
he is being constantly approached by
persons DESTROYS of purchasing hog.
Moral-It pays to advertise in the Ga
zette.
A bevy Of fair young misses from
Republic, consisting of Florence E.
Sweet, Lillian G. Cross, Addie Myers,
Marie Ferguson, and Helen Krashey,
chaporoned by Mrs. T. Mayberry, ac-
companied the basket ball team over
from Republic Friday last. They were
loud and loyal rooters, and Republics
failure to win cannot be charged up to
any lack of boosting on the part of the
lady contingent.
People on the street last Thursday
evening when the Spokane train ar
rived were made aware that someth-
ing had arrived from the noise that
split the welkin, whatever that is. 1t
was the Republic high school basket
ball team and its hackers that were
; letting the public know that they had
come to town. The going out was less
noisy than the coming in, but that can
hardly be charged up to chagrin.
Friday last, one of the truck drivers
OF whom there are number in town
just now, had the hard luck to lose
two IS bills. Fortunately for him the
bills were found by honest people,
Miss Maude Keller and R. e. Hoose,
and the moeny was restored to the
owner. This is just fluke, and he is
advised not to be careless in scattering
around his wealth, for as a rule find
ers are keepers when ready cash is
the property that is found.
F. G. Manweiller, of Utica, Nebraska,
has been in this vicinity for several
days buying mules and few horses
for his home market. He succeeded in
securing some three car loads. Mr..
Manweiler was in this place some two
years ago buying horses for the Eng
! lish and French armies. Knowing the
