system. 1t may be that this waste
cannot be prevented but it would
seem that if more care were taken in
the handling of t there would moi
be so much complaint Of shortage
But human nature is human nature
and the man who can get a plenty
does not are particularly whether his
neighbor gets a blooming thing.
The Oroville Creamery is shipping
out considerable ice cream to neigh
boring places. AS the Oroville cream
cry makes the best ice cream that is
consumed in the county the establish
ment should be so overrun with orders
facilities to meet the demand. Dealers
In the valley and neighboring towns
make a great mistake in sending out
for a summer luxury when a better
quality can be procured so near at
home.
About every town in the valley from
Nelson on the hill to Brewster on the
Columbia, have had or are to have
Chautauqua festivals this month. AS
the attractions are the same old thing
in each and every instance the peo-
pie of the county have been fed up on
! this one kind of entertainment, which
is not conducive to drawing crowds
after the first two or three stands
have been made. Probably Oroville
was lucky in not signing up and re-
peating
There is no desire to take the JOY
out of life but from the evidence al
of this part OF the valley will not be
as large as there was every reason to
expect when trees were in bloom
Heavy frosts about that time, accom-
panied by cold weather, nipped the
fruit in some localities. There are
orchards that were not injured and in
such cases the yield will be up to the
normal, but in a number of orchards
| the crop will fall considerably short
Of expectations.
Mrs. Harry Gutemay and her youuA
son left Monday morning for Van

she will be joined by a brother and
they will soon leave on a trip to Eng

and her friends here certainly trust
that such will be the case. Mrs. Cute

Oroville for several years.
Okanogan is having a Sigh touch of
typhoid fever and Health Officer Paul
l.. West gives the people of that place
the following advice which could be
followed in other communities to the
advantage of the people thereof:
Unless you know that your drinking
water is uncontaminated it should be
boiled before using. Do not use water
from irrigating bitches or stagnant
pools. See that your houses are thor
oughly screened from flies. All re-
fuse, such as stable waste, tin cans,
garbage, etc, should be removed q.
safe distance from dwellings, OF bet
ter yet. burned; toilets made tight and
fly proof, and above all swat the fly
as this little pest is the great carrier
of typhoid fever"
Dean G.. H. Severance has been at
tending a business meeting of the
summer school for the clergy of the
Pacific northwest, held at Portland,
and at the session last Friday evening
Mr.. Severance was honored by being
elected as m Of the four directors
for the coming year. Two of the di-
rectors are from Portland and the
other from Everett. Dean Severance
is n of the most active members of
the Episcopal clergy in the state and
has made a wonderful record in arous-
ing interest in church, Sunday school
and church work in the large district
over which he presides, and this selec-
ton was no doubt in recognition of
his valuable services as we'll as his
ability as a preacher and organizer.
Put water on the land in this valley
and whether that land be down along
the river courses or on the knobs that
dot the edge of the valley and are yet
under the irrigation system, that land
responds to cultivation most gener-
ously. This has been demonstrated by
the bountiful gardens on the breaks
in the east part of town, where care
and attention has developed OH OF
the best producing gardens in town.
E. B. Gray has been and still is mark
citing some of the best strawberries
from his place in that locality that
surpass in size and flavor most of the
berries OF the same variety grown
lower down in the valley, showing thai
fruit as we'll as vegetables will do as
we'll IN the higher lands if water and
attention is applied to the plants and
trees.
A. o. Spencer has sold his residence
in the east part of town and all the
furniture contained in the building
to Andy Johnston. This is the con-
crete residence on the north side of
Central avenue built several years ago
by Mrs. Smith. Mr.. and Mrs. Spencer
retained their auto and about the LIST
of September will leave overland for
California where they may make their
permanent home, although Mr.. Spen-
Ger states that after a fair trial, if he
is not satisfied with the California eli
mate he will return to Oroville. Mr..
Spencer still owns landed interests in
