death of her brother that she could

funeral was largely attended, quite a
number of former residents of Loomis
now living at Oroville, being present.
The casket was covered with beautiful
flowers, which were a community Of

departed pioneer. A choir rendered

Improvement district No. Q has been
organized by the town council, as can
be seen by the advertisement This dis
trict is formed in response to a petit
ton of the property owners on Central
avenue and Bridge street and the pur-
pose is to put down a concrete walk
from Main street to the bridge across
the Okanogan river, at the creamery.
Owing to the lateness of the season
it is possible that this walk will not
be constructed this fall but all legal
preliminaries will be settled this fall
and the walk will be constructed as
soon as the snow disappears in the
spring. In all probability other prop
erty owners in other parts of the town
will get busy and petition for improve
ment districts in order to secure better
walks. There is certainly great room
in this place for a better class of side
walks, as some of them are not only
repulsive to the eye but a constant
menace to life and limb.
Tom and Murice Daily, of Keremeos,
stopped over in town Monday night on
their way to LoOmis, where they will
invest in cattle il they find the in
vesting to their liking. From the boys
it is learned that four alleged cattle
rustlers have been apprehended and
are now in Jail at Princeton awaiting
trial According to their story some
butchers in the neighborhood have
been putting pretty amusing, as we'll
as raw, deal overssch stock owners
about Keremeos According to their
reports butchers have been paying
the Indians S. a head for fat cattle,
and the Indians have not been partic-
ular as to where the fat cattle came
from. Now these same people who
have been losing cattle have patroniz.
ed the butchers and unbeknown to
themselves have been eating their
own meat, which only adds insult to
injury. 1t is claimed that the cattle
people have the necessary evidence to
land the accused in Kamaloops for
long vacation.
