The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1920-01-16

Mrs. Desmond, of Oroville, has been
a guest for the past week or two at
the home of her brother, @. Reisser.-
Republic News-Miner.
Saturday young son Of Mr.. and
Mrs SWanson, living in IL. s0utn part
of town, fell upon his face while run
ming around the yard with stick in
his mouth. The stick was driven
through the roof of the mouth lascer-
ating the flesh in shocking manner.
DR.. Lewis patched up the little fellow
and he is getting on famously.
Republic has an exceptionally strong
and skillful basket ball team this year
and the team that is going to put it
over on them must be up and a coming
all the time. The Oroville boys gave
them full credit for their expert per-
Torrance and did all in their power to
make it pleasant for the visitors after
the game, even if they could not make
it exciting during the game.
Shorty Wagner, formerly of Hedley,
who has been in Oroville for some
time, is about to locate here perman-
emily, or at least such is the report in
circulation. Mr.. Wagner is a tailor by
occupation, and is said to be an artist
in his line. He is also great lover
of sports and if he elects to make
Oroville his home it is a safe bet that
the town will have a classy ball club
next year.
1t appears that some individuals
about town who are compelled to pay
license are shirking that obligation,
and at the last session of the council
notice was served that all who have
failed to pay license fee must make
good on or before the 18th of January.
If you who have been shy have not
already pungled up, you have only
today and tomorrow to correct the
delinquency.

w. Covert received an order for a
lady's coat from a resident of British
Columbia to be sent to a friend in
England. The gentleman had seen the
advertisement of the coat sale in the

field of trade when 1t reaches all the
way to Europe.
