mrs. Stanley Evans arrived in Oro.
v,,,e last Friday evening from Evans.
VINE, Indiana, where she was oo,,oa
some weeks ago by the fatal illness of
ne' iatler. After reaching Evansville
'is' Evans was taken down with
pneumonia and for time she was in
very precarious condition. Ar pras-
eh' she has almost regained her nor
lllai health Mrs. Evans was accom-
panied by her mother, Mrs. M N
ROSS who will make her home with
her daughter. WI"
Nrs' ricketts,, who was forced to
move from the building adjoining the
postoiiice on the south as the STORE
'ooi'' mas been leased for term of
years to Il. A. Jackson, has secured q
room on the ground floor of the old
reerless hotel building. 1t is NOT at
tractive quarters, but accommodations
on Main street are hard to secure ar
'ne present time and Mrs. Ricketts,
VIII make the best of forced neces-
sity until other arrangements can he
made
MISS Burns, matron of the Oroville
General hospital, returned from Spo-
Kane last Friday evening. Miss Burns
went TO Spokane for the purpose of
securing a nurse, but the demand for
nurses in that city since the begin
ming of the influenza epidemic has
been greater than the supply and she
was disappointed. While she was alb
sent a report was in circulation that
MISS Burns had taken the influenza.
which was OBTAINING her in Spokane.
The lady returns home in the best of
health
Mr. and Mrs. George Loudon were
IN town several days during the past
week from their ranch in the Simil.
kameen valley. Mr.. Loudon was not
the liscoverer of Mount Chopaka but
the arrival of the discoverer of that
prominent land mark in this part of
the county antidated Mr.. Loudon's ar
rival only a few years. And, any
Chopaka is forgotten while the name
of Mr.. Loudon will live long in the
memory of man as one of the most
genial pioneers of the northwest.
Last week considerable uneasiness |
was felt over a. persistent rumor that |
the railroad was to discontinue the |
passenger service between Oroville |
and Spokane via Marcus running a |
mixed train three times week be-
tween this place and Curlew, leaving |
at 4:30 on the mornings of departure. |
The Commercial Club proceeded to get |
busy by reaching out by mail and wire
and at last received assurance from
the division superintendent that there
was nothing in the report. And the
disturbed public breathed easier once
more.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. o. Hamisch and
Mss Helen Hamisch were all taken
down at the same time Saturday even
ing with the influenza. So far there
have been no unfavorable develop
ments and the illness Is of mild
character. AS result of this family
disaster the labor of caring for the
large store at the busiest season OF
the year devolves upon the shoulders
of Harry Hamisch, with Miss ELSA
Grathwold his assistant and outside
help called in to fill out the vacancies
made by this sudden curtailment OF
the working force.
The Omak Chronicle announces that
two residents of that place, James
Kane and Grover l.. Miller. have MADE
the supreme sacrifice on the lighting
line in France, the former killed out
right, the latter dying of wounds
Okanogan county has lost numper
inf soldier boys both on the battle,
field and by disease. Probably the
soldiers monument will be over done
in this country but we would Suggest
that a marble tablet be placed IN the
county court house bearing the names
of the soldiers from this county VINO
have given up their lives for their
country
