PLEASANT RECEPTION.

Monday evening Mr.. and Mrs. II. r.
Gregg invited a number of friends to
meet Mr.. Gregg's sister, Mrs. E. Still
man Kelley of Oxford, Ohio, who had
spent week with her brother and
who was to leave Tuesday morning
her home, returning by the way OF
San Francisco. Mrs. Kelley and her
husband have devoted their lives to
music. Mr. Kelley is composer OF
national and international reputation,
and Mrs. Kelley is a finished musi-
cian During the evening the lady fav-
ored the company with number o.
selections on the piano and it proved
to be one of the most delightful musi-
Ical treats that those present have ever
enjoyed. Mrs. Kelley was charmed
with the scenery of the Okanogan val
LEY and the surrounding country, as
/ she was taken on auto trips and given
an opportunity to see much of the
mountain and lake SCENERY in the
county and British Columbia along
this part of the border. She declares
she will return to renew her visit next
Iyear, and those who had the pleasure
of meeting her trust that no engage
ment will interfere with her making
good that promise.

A SHOCKING ACCIDENT.

Wednesday morning of last week
James Accord, young man highly
spoken of by those who know him met
with fearful accident while engaged
in hauling logs to a saw mill near
Brewster. 1t appears from what can
be learned regarding the accident that
Mr.. Accord was STOPPING down TO
adjust a binding chain, after having
loaded his logs, when the top log that
had not been firmly secured rolled
off striking the unfortunate man on
the back, crushing him to the ground.

REMEDY THE DEFECT,

Great complaint reaches this office
over the condition of the road between
Oroville and the boundary line AS the
road is at present it is a disgrace to
the county and a reflection upon the
residents of the town. No other town
lin the county would remain passive
and make no effort to improve so inl-
|portant a highway as this one, the only
travelled highway thLough the valley
into British CounIuXS1fiere is only
some four miles of this road and only
lshort stretches that are cut up and
ialmost impossible for vehicles. Re-
Gently a number of cars have been
damaged on account of the condition
of this road, and it is constantly get
Iting worse. Travel through Oroville
to and from British Columbia has been
greater this year than ever before. 1t
lis a trip that is going to increase in
popularity from year to year, but II
the road is not improved travellers are
going to seek some other route of
travel. Even if the town was not to
benefit a dollar from this travel the
business men should have enough pub
| lie spirit to make the road at least
passable. 1t is the duty of the county
| to keep up this highway, but the cOun-
| ty has many calls for road funds and
money for this purpose is not always
available. In the absence of county
aid our citizens could, at comparat-
lively small cost make such improve
ments as would minimize the present
menace to cars that have to pass
over this shor+ stretch of road.

has been for several months, within

WATERVILLE VISITORS.

Mr.. and Mrs. M. T. Howe and two
daughters, Margaret and Mary, and
Mrs A. l.. Rogers, of Waterville, pass
ed through Oroville Monday on a trip
up into British Columbia, making the
grand loop through Penticton, Vernon,
Kamaloops, Merritt, Princeton, Kere-
meos and back to Oroville, or it can
end by the way of Loomis. Mr. Howe
was the junior member of Rogers
& Howe the pioneer merchants of
Waterville, and though both have re-
tired from active business they are
still to some extent interested in the
old store. Mr. Howe has large inter-
|ests in Okanogan county, owning a
big apple orchard near Brewster, and
at the present time is making his
headquarters temporarily at the farm.
1t was a great pleasure to meet the
visitors as we have known the adult
members of the party for many many
years. Time has treated them most
kindly both as to health and material
prosperity.

JOIN THE LEAGUE.

There is a drive on for membership

should be on the rolls, as the work 10
one that should receive the aid and
encouragement of everybody. The rate

piled to better purpose. The men,

benefited, to those who are in need of it.

and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
Iults, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large
nle."
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
70 many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,

narv troubles and neutralizes the uric

into three flounces at the bottom. The
yoke is rich with bold leaf and flower

the work in embroidery and shirrings
is beautifully done. Such a wrap
matches up well with the big, beaut-

Tub Hats, Too!

One of the advantages of the fabric
hat, whether it is intended for the
junior or the grownup, is that it may
be so fashioned that it can be taken
entirely apart and the covering washed
or dry cleaned. A fine wire frame
forms the foundation for the hat. It
is covered with georgette cut in per-
fectly circular form and gathered in
to form the crown. The edge may be
finished with hemstitching or picoting,
or with fine narrow lace. The wire
frame, of course, is concealed by a
covering of this net in color to match
the hat proper, or in white if the hat
is made of a light colored material.
