Say; the resident off the sidewalk
zones can hardly appreciate what a
5-foot concrete walk e to a street,
what a marvellous comfort it is to the
what an asset it is to the
property fronting upon a street with

lapidated board walks about town
and her stroll down on Bridge street
and promenade along that new cement
walk, which in a very short time will
extend FROM. Main street to the east
end of Central venue Hasten the day
when every street in town is provided
with a similar smoothe and perman-

Sunday was an off day with the
down river ball teams as Okanogan
was taken into camp at Tonasket by a
score of 9 to 1. And don't you forget
that Tonasket has a team this year
that surpasses in efficiency any team
that has ever represented that town on
the diamond. The boys have put it owe
such old and corking strong clubs as
Omak and Okanogan, and had it not
been for a hard run of luck would
have made the Oroville team play
harder ball to have won the game
on the local diamond a few
ago. Furthermore, the next time
these two teams meet it will be a toss
up which side filches the bacon.
