SOLD HIS ORCHARD TRACT.

w. J. Frank has sold his beautiful
orchard tract, situated just east of the
big railroad trestle, to H. J. Cunning.
of Spokane, the transfer taking place
Saturday. When Mr. Frank purchased
and removed upon this tract some two
years ago it had run down consider
ably and his friends joked him some
what over his investment Mr.. Frank
said nothing, but sawed wood. AL
though pretty well advanced in years
Mr.. Frank went to work in earnest
improving the place. Spring water was
piped into the house and he applied all
his time to clearing, planting and cul-
'al exertiOns he has made of it one of
the most attractive homes in the val
ley. He has out lawn, considerable
alfalfa and the fruit trees just coming
into bearing are in most thrifty con-
ditisn. The choicest cherries grown
in the valley are on this place, and
the apple trees will yield at least 1000
boxes this year Now that he is out of
home and out of a job Mr.. Frank
will have to find an abiding place in
Oroville. The purchaser, Mr.. Cunning,
lis very desirable addition to the
population. He has a wife and seven
children, and that considerably in
creases the census. Mr.. Cunning is an
|old time resident of Lincoln county,
although more recently he has lived in
SDOkane He is of a family of five
brothers, all of whom at one time
were engaged in farming on an ex-
tenisve scale not far from Davenport
and all of them very well to do. The
tract he has just purchased consists of
35 acres, part in the valley and part
on the upper bench. The price was
$4,000. and considering what land is
held for in this vicinity it can be con-
sidered very cheap buy.

INSPECTING ROADS.

County Commissioners Anderson,
Mitchell and Hershberger were in
town Friday last accompanied by Guy
G. Harvey, state district engineer,
looking over the north end of State
Road No. 10. Mr.. Harvey has charge
Of the state road work in a large
group of Eastern Washington counties
and was here for the purpose familiar
izing himself with conditions on State
Road No. 10. He and the commission
ers drove over that portion of the road
north from Oroville to the internat-
ional boundary and Mr.. Harvey had
no hesitancy in saying that that i'm
meeting up as it does with the British
Columbia road system, should be i'm
proved, and stated that in all probable
ity there would be state money avail
able, after letting the contracts under
consideration. that could and would
be applied to making that short
stretch of road in a more passable
condition than it is at the present
time. 1t was very cheering to hear him
state that the road between Oroville
and Tonasket would be completed in
.its entirety this year. 1t is the inten-
ton when work finally starts, to COM
mence at LAUDER. gulch and work both
ways The indications are very flatter
ring for extensive work on the main
artery of travel up and down the val
ley, with the prospect that perman-
TENT roadway twenty feet in width will
be finished by fall.

DANCE POSTPONED.

The dance that was to have been
given on the evening of April Gath
under the auspices of the Altar soci-
|ety OF the Catholic church has been
indefinitely postponed owing to the
fact that no suitable hall could be Sc
cured for that purpose at that time.
These annual Catholic dances have al
ways drawn the largest crowds that
attend a dance during the year and
the one or two halls available for
dancing purposes are entirely too
small to accommodate such a gather
ing as could be expected. This an
nouncement will be a disappointment
to many, but it were better to post
pone the dance than attempt to give
it in quarers where the crowd would
be so great that there would be abso-
lutely no pleasure for the patrons.
The lack of hall will soon be sup
piled. as the Orpheum building is be-
ing fitted up with special aim to
furnish a commodious dancing floor.
1t Is probable that when the improve
ments under way at the Orpheum are
completed the ladies of the Altar So
ciety will fix date for the dance that
did not come off

PUBLIC LECTURE.

Prof. D. F. Olds, superintendent of
the Oroville Public Schools, is in re-
ceipt of the following letter from M.
Brinkenhoff county superintendent of
schools:
Prof. Aiken of the state college,
plans to be in Oroville Sunday, April
goth. Will you look after him a little.
He also expects to address your school
April 21st, in the afternoon, and give
a public lecture in the evening"
That is the sum and substance of
the announcement from which Prof.
Olds and the Gazette is asked to give
publicity to the coming of the gentle
man and his lecture. Nothing is said
as to what subject will be treated, but
as Prof. Aiken is undoubtedly an able
lecturer any subject he may select will
be interesting and entertaining. 1t is
proposed to secure the Civic League
building in which to give the lecture,
and the public at large is cordially in
vited to attend, assured of an intellec-
tual treat. The date is next Monday
evening. Bear that in mind and be
present.

BIG STOCK DEAL.

Word reaches this office that Indian
Edwards, living on Palmer lake where
he has made his home on a government
allotment for many many years, has
sold his cattle numbering over 300
head to Ferris Ford. manager of the
Loomis Cattle Co. This is one of
the most important live stock deals
that has taken place in the county
for some time, representing as it does
the investment of large sum of
money 1t also means that the oldest
cattle raiser in the county has pulled
out of the game. Indian Edwards is
known throughout this upper country,
not only on account of his long resi-
dence but more particularly on ac-
count of his having been engaged in
the cattle business for so many years.
He owns very valuable allotment be-
tween Palmer lake and the Similka-
meen river that embraces $40 acres,
considerable of which is excellent hay
land, and has always owned large
droves of cattle as well as horses. 1t
Is understood that the recent deal
closed out all of Indian Edwards cat
tie, but he still has big band of hor-
ses, most of them of exceptionally
good stock. Edwards is getting pretty
well advanced in yesrs, and as he has
always been a shrewd trader, although
too often the victim of designing men.
he is probably well enough fixed to
round out the balance Of his days with
out fear as to where the next day
meals are coming from.

TAME SIDE OF ARMY LIFE.

Bert Champneys, formerly manager
of the State Bank of Loomis, has been
over at his old home for some days
visiting with friends. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Champneys will take charge
of the bank at Riverside, as owing to
the poor health of his wife, w. 4.
Champion who has been at the head OF
the Riverside bank for several years
expects to make protracted trip to
California, eventually returning to
take charge of the new bank at Omak.
Mr.. Champneys was recently discharg-
~ from the service at Camp Lewis
after serving for some fifteen months.
Mr.. Champneys experience has soured
him on the army. No man has ever
entered military service with more en-
thusiasm than Mr. Champneys. An
by adoption he detested the Hun and
was anxious to get into the real fight
ing. He went into the army with high
hopes of speedily reaching France, but
being an expert accountant and office
man he. was assigned to clerical po-
sition at Camp Lewis, and there he
was held in spite of his appeals for
active service and protest at being
held in nOncombatant position His
appeal and protest had no effect on
the adament hearts of his superiors
and there he had to stick at the desk
until few weeks ago when he man
aged to secure discharge after long
negotiations and many disappoint-
ments. Like many another who failed
to get to the front Mr.. Champneys was
willing and anxious to chance his life
and limb in the service of his country,
and that he did not get into the hot OF
it was no fault of his. When a man
gets into the army he is compelled to
obey orders, and that is necessary,
otherwise an army would be only Il
mob, and hence those who did not
take part in the actual fighting are as
worthy of commentator as those vino
did, for those who We're noncombat-
ants were such very much against
their will
