The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1920-05-28

housewives who had the family O
taken down in order to get at house
cleaning are now regretting their i'm
petuosity.
FRED. }. Fine, an old time resident of
oroVille and still claiming this to be
MS home, was in town this week on
business connected with the land de-
parthlent OF he state. Mr.. Fine is on
the go constantly and hardly gets
nome often enough to keep acquainted
with his own family, who still live at
Snoquamish.
Deputy Sheriff Eli Wilson was in
town Tuesday packing around his old
TIME smile which vas conspicuous on
the streets when Ell acted as rown
marshal. That smile did not detr.
from MS efficiency as a peace officer,
lor he could smile, and smile, and still
snatch an offender bald headed. He
was up here expecting something
rather sensational to break. but It
rallied to crack and the paper was beat
out OF an item.
Som II gathered up a rain Goa
from the room at the hotel at Okla
hogan occupied by a member OF the
Oroville visiting players Saturday
night and so far has shown no sign Of
/ making restitution. The Goa: belonged
to Lawrence Dallam. If the garment
was taken Inadvertently by mistake
the error will be forgiven upon the re-
turn of the coat. If some galoot swiped
it as so much property easily accumu-
lated may the devil fly away with him.
Rufus Woods, live wire manager OF
the Wenatchee World, spent Tuesday
night in Oroville on one of his occas-
ional trips through this upper country
which is so generally covered by his
excellent daily paper. He reports bus
mess lively. But Rufus is such an
optimist n can never tell whether
the World is going ahead or falling be
hind financially, as he always carr,es
a smile that makes Dug Fairbanks
face look like that of a mourner at a
funeral.
AL Fox has commenced t1rning the
inside of the Peerless hotel building
near the corner of Main street and
Central avenue inside out, or more
correctly speaking outside in, as the
dangerous flight of steps between the
two buildings are to be removed and
a stairway put in from the lobby of
the proposed new hotel. Besides this
new stirway there must be other very
extensive changes made on the ground
floor before the premises can be taken
over by the new lessee.
Almost a riot was created on Main
forth that Glen Carrel was washing
the post office windows. Up to the time
of the bath those windows have been
Opaque from the accumulated dust of
centuries, and the news that the OBJ
struction was to be removed drew a
larger crowd than a dog fight. We
expect to see the same Juror
printing office windows are subjected
to the %scrubbing brush.
E. E. Sucker reports hat he has
rye on his ranch that stands waist

big yield ready to harvest by the 4th
of July. Mr.. Sucker reports That while
the country appears to be exceedingly
dry crops are looking we'll on Ellie
meham and a number of formers are
still blowing and planting. Late May
and June showers would put many If
the farmers on Easy street, and there
&c vuharo thou chnn1J ha oftor tho most
three years hoeing a tough row.
Jas. Blaine, of Chesaw, is in town
to secure treatment with DR.. Wilson,
and expects 20 remain a week or more.
Mr.. Blaine is one of the oldest resi-
dents Of Chesaw. He is an assayer by
profession, and has been connected
with the mining activities of the north
half for years. Mr.. Blaine is troubled
with nervous affliction that has affect
ed his eyesight and hopes to find some
relief under DR.. Wilson't treatment. A
fine old scout, is Jim Blaine and we
trust that he will return to his home
very much improved in health.
A shower of household articles was
given for Miss Florence Pickering at
the home of Mrs. II. w. Bragg, Mon
day evening, which vas ,largely attend
ed by the friends of the young lady in
this community, and resulted in the
giving of many useful presents. Miss
Pickering has been one of the teach
ing staff of the public schools for the
past several years, and it was given
out in a recent issue of the Gazette
that she had not made application to
renew her contract. Seems there was
a reason, and if we are not misinform-
cd there are others
