Messrs. Ellis & Forde sold car
load of winter fed cattle to Jas. jack
son during the past week, and the cat
tie were weighed in and shipped from
Tonasket Monday. The cattle were in
excellent shape, but the high price OF
feed at this time did not make winter
feeding any too attractive.
There was no big rush for War
Saving stamps in this place Wednes-
day in compliance with the proclama-
ton of the governor urging the in
vestment in thrift and war savings
stamps on that particular date. Most
people are slow volunteering financial
aid to the government. 1t must be
pried out of them by personal solicit
tation.
Not having received his announce
ments Manager Hicks was not able to

ferings for Saturday and Sunday even
ingsand next Wednesday and Thurs

character.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. D. Beatty. of Cho-
paka, were visitors in Oroville over
Tuesday. Mr. Beatty is the customs
officer stationed at Chopaka, and
while the ice trains were moving he
had his hands full night and day. One
of the objects of Mr.. Beatty's visit at
this time was to secure an auto, and
he hooked on to the last Ford that the
Bowen company had in stock here.
He was playing out of luck in one re-
spect, as he had to stand for the $S2
raise that has recently been added to
the price Of the Ford bug.
Say; is Oroville renigging on its
support of the Red Cross. 1t would ap-
pear that almost every hamlet, village
and town in the county is more liberal
in it's support of this great organi-
zation than we are in this place.
Why, the other day sale was held in
Pateros for the benefit OF the local
Red Cross from which over $500 were
realized. Our people should give their
pocket nerve hypodermic to tenn
porarily deaden the pain Of parting
with a few dollars, and while in a
state of happy delirium. she'll out to
the Red Cross.
S. T. Stanton surprised his friends
by arriving at his old home un-
announced Monday evening. Last fall
Mr.. Stanton was suffering severely
from asthma, and was otherwise very
much run down. He went to Arizona,
where he spent the winter, and the ef-
feet of the dry climate in the far
south has worked a wonderful trans
formation upon him. He returns free
from his old ailment, and is looking in
better health than at any time for
years. He may spend the summer in
Oroville, but he announces that never
again will he take chances on a north
ern winter

Otis Teel had narrow escape from
a serious accident Tuesday. He was
sitting at the steering wheel of the
road grader with w. o. Steele in the
drivers seat. The large piece of ma
chinery struck rough spot in the
road, catapulting Mr.. Teel several
feet in the air. He struck against a
