The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1919-09-05

1t is the merry dance tonight for al
who attend the big time at the Liberty
theater. 1t Is the best dance floor il
the county and the best of music will
supply the push for the agile feet.
Mrs. e. r. Hoose has been in thu
hospital for the past week threatened
with an attack of appendicitis At last
accounts Mrs. Hoose was very much
improved and an operation was not
considered necessary.
A. M. Riste has been joined by his
wife and he may decide upon return
ing to Oroville to make his home. He
spent so many years of his life in
Okanogan county that he hardly feels
at home any where else.
Patrons of the dance in Oroville are
to be commended for the liberal man
ner in which they patronize dances
given in neighboring towns. In almost
every instance where dances are given
by neighbors Oroyille is well repre-
sented on the floor.
G. A. DOlan of Okanogan was WIS.,
itor in town Tuesday. Mr.. Dolan and
p. Waterstrat have recently purchas-
ed and taken over the business of the
well known Hubbard Abstract COM
pany and will continue the same at
the county seat. Judging from the i'm
preston made upon us by the short
interview OkanOgan is to be .congrat-
ulated upon securing a bright and
pushing young citizen in the person
of Mr.. Dolan.
1t is anticipated that there will be
very large crowd at the dance that
takes place at the Liberty theater to-
night. 1t is realized by lovers of the
merry-go-round that the floor at the
Liberty is idea, for dancing, the music
is always the best, and pleasant
evening assured. On this occasion the
ladies of the Civic League are to fur
nish the supper, an that is a certain
ty that the supper will not be the least
attraction of the evening.

F. A. Block will hold an auction sale
of household goods at his place in the
south part of town next Thursday
afternoon. This sale is preliminary to
the departure of Mr.. Block and his
family on long trip by auto, and is
taken more on account of Mrs. Blocks
health than any pleasure that may be
in it. They go from here to California
and then east and expect to be absent
a year. When they get back to Oro-
vile the town will have made such
strides that they will hardly recog-
nize the place.
The last issue of the Penticton Her.
aid gives an account of the drowning
in Okanogan lake of Walter d. Trus-
well. The unfortunate man may have
been a stranger to the people of this
place, but there is feature of the
Truswell had but recently returned
from France, where he served for
three years, a gallant soldier and a
worthy gentleman. In the service of
his country he made an enviable rec
ord and was thrice wounded in the
performance of his duty. Strange, and
from sentimental point of view, sad,
that he should have escaped death on
the field of honor to come home and

this tragic death.
A railroad man living at Grand
Forks, who stopped over at Oroville
last Friday night on his way home by
auto after a trip into British Column
bia, states that it is the general talk
among railroad men that the railroad
from Penticton to Oroville will be
. constructed in time to run trains by
next fall. This may be pushing the
date of completion too close to the
front but there is hardly a question
but that the road is to be constructed
and that as rapidly as that class of
work can be carried on. The gentle
man further predicted, after looking
over the town, that within two or
three years there would not be room
on the flat for the new houses that
will be built here.
Last week DR.. Lewis had one of the
finest water melon patches at his
handsome home in the west part Of
town that could be found in the val
ley. The patch is still there, but the
fat, lucious, tempting melons that
were once there clinging to the vines
with their round bodies inviting ma
ruders are absent having disappeared
in a most mysterious manner in a
single night 1t was shocking abuse
of the confidence the doctor had in
human nature when he planted and
raised such flock of melons in such
a conspicuous spot expecting in the
course of time to cool his face in the
succilent product of the vine. We can
hardly conceive who would be guilty
of such crime as stealing water
melons, and feel inclined to charge 1t
I'D to some CONSCIOUSNESS crowd from
another county.
