The Spokesman-Revie published a

Bob Evans, OF this place. was arrested
at Spokane last week Oh a charge OF
alleged Bookkeeping. Now, the Spokes-
man-Review OF last Friday states thai
in Judge Wits court Evans was de.

The Great Northern Is now taking
all OF the coal produced at COalmont,
n though the quantity is not great
at present the production is going to
be increased until regular Goa trains
will be running out OF that town car
rying fuel to be distributed along the
line for use by the railroad company.
A tram Is being put in from the chief
producer ear Coalmont by which coal

railroad. 1t 10 understood that it is
the intention of the Great Northern to
build a spur to the mine later. If the
production reaches the point where
two or three coal trains are run over
the line daily this is going to be a

this Friday evening at the Liberty
theater, for the Van Atlas have en-
gagged an orchestra that has a reputa-
ton of doing the jazz stunt a little
better than any orchestra that hands
out that class of music, if the raucous
and riotous melody can be classed I'M
der the head of muse. That orchestra
halls from Wenatchee and the Van
Atlas have gone to the heavy expense
Of securing the performers for this
particular occasion. The opportunity
to dance to the music of this orchestra
should have the effect of drawing out
every dance lover in town and vicin-
ity.
Rufus Woods, the big push and opti-
mist behind the Wenatchee Daily
World, vas in town Tuesday working
up a publicity stunt that could not
fail to benefit the country. Usually
Mr.. Woods makes the run between
his home town and the upper end of
the OkanOgan valley by auto, but this
time he came by train just to try out
the new buffet car on the branch. He
declares it to have been the pleasant
est trip he has ever made into the
country, and he has made the trip
often and by various means of con-
veyance, hence we reach the conclu-
sion that the new accommodations ON
the Oroville-W enatchee passenger
adds about 100 per cent to the comfort
and convenience of travel over the
line.
Charlie Lewis is home again after
having spent a fortnight on the coast.
He drove owe by auto and states that
the road over Blewftt pass is as
smoothe as the Main street grade. He
also reports that living costs on the

are in Oroville, especially in the mat
tex Of food stuffs. And that leads us to
remark that We may not have a wide
expanse of salt water with it's fleets
OF craft to gaze upon, or stately blocks
OF structures that represent the pres
ence of a city, but We have the climate,
natural scenery and to spare, and our
pocket books are not always in a state
OF paralysis in the endeavor to pro-
vide our stomachs with the common
necessities that enter into daily con-
sumption.
In conjunction with harvesting
boards Frank Buckingham turns
much attention to bee culture, and
has become quite an authority upon
the nature and ways of those busy lit
tie insects. He has several hives back
Of his barber shop, on Main street,
and while they are not neighbors with
whom the residents of that locality
care to scrape acquaintance, they keep
steadily on the job, setting an example
that the human family might emulate
greatly to its general good, and annu-
ally Mr.. Buckingham gathers quite a
valuable yield of honey. Tuesday the
inhabitants of one Of the hives warm.

Der of people who evidently were not
as busy as bees from the fact that they
could stand around and see the little
fellows perform.
Ambrose Flarrity, son of the gentle
man who leased the Peerless hotel
that Archie Ash had so greatly I'M
proved, Is in town preparing for the
opening of the house which he expects
to take place about the first of the
month. The house is to be newly and
comfortably furnished throughout and
is sure to come in for a fair share of
business. In fact some provision had
to be made to meet the growing de-
mand in town for hotel accommoda-
tons for the present u are
inadequate, and the Peerless will fill
that want for the present at least.
Mr.. Flarrity is a very pleasant young
gentleman to meet and as he has been
with his father in the same business,
and knows the ropes he is going to
make the Peerless a popular resort
for tho travelling Dub1ic.
