Manager Stoltz of the Lyric has
been playing in hard luck recently
Two weeks in succession he has fail
ed to receive the films that he had
advertised in time for the Saturday
evening shows. This was both disap..
pointment to the public as well as to
Mr.. Stoltz.
Some of the youths in the town have
been taking advantage of the finest ice
that has been available ON both lake
and river for a number Of years, and
skating has become quite fad. Skat-
ing is a healthy as we'll as an enjoy
able exercise and 1t is only wonder
that there are not more indulgers, both
male and female.
Fred Clark, who is putting up the ice
supply for the town, or that portion Of
the town which handles ice in the sum-
mer, a job that he has performed ev-
cry winter for a number of years, re-
ports that every ice house In town tor
which he has a contract to I'LL will be
loaded to the roof by the last Of the
present week. He has been cutting
from the river at the bath house where
the ice is now IA inches thick and
where in all previous years at tais
season the river has been open. Mr..
Clark Is assisted in the work this year
by Mark Sawtelle.
Miss Evelyn McAvoy left for her
home at Rockford, Monday morning
and was accompanied on the trip by
Mrs. F. v. Covert. Miss McAvoy is in
a very serious condition and was Just
out of the hospital when she left here.
Some months ago she submitted to a
dangerous operation and it is now
feared by her physician here that she
will have to 60 through the ordeal
again. During her residence here the
young lady became quite q favorite
among the young people and those
friends trust that she will ultimately
regain her normal health.

J.F. Samson and c. M. zediker. VIII
attended the meeting of the state rec
lamation board at Olympia last week
returned home Friday evening. The
are not giving out anything for publ
cation regarding that meeting bu
from what little they have had to ga,
it Is evident that the session was evel
a trifle warmer than was given out II
the press reports. Mr.. Chandler Ger
tainly ascertained how unpopular h
was among the residents Of this uppe
country, and even that mild manners
gentleman, Mr.. Samson, did not mine
matters when addressing the board Il
regard to the bond issue of the Yves
Okanogan Valley Irrigation distric
and referring to the state reclamatio
engineer.
For some time the passenger trai
due from Spokane in the evening hi
been from one to four hours late, NOR
or less, a condition not conducive
excessive happiness among those en1
ious to receive mail. The cause OF thl
drag is charged up to the fact that ON
ing to fuel shortage the Great NORTH
ern was compelled to abandon some
the local trains between Spokane an
Marcus and the carriage OF all tn
passengers between those points an
way stations was placed upon the rel
ular Spokane-Oroville train. AS II
passenger traffic up and down tn
Colville valley is quite heavy this r.
uuires frequent and long stops at st'
tons and naturally the train Is benin
on schedule.
