~ Judge F. v. Brown, Great Northern
attorney, died at Victoria, B. c., last
week. Judge Brown was widely known
throughout this state, as well as
the west, owing to his posi-
ton with the railroad which required
his visiting almost every town of any
along the Great Northern
system at one time or another. Since
the beginning of the construction of
the West Okanogan Valley Irrigation
system, behind which the Great North
ern has Loyalty stood, Judge Brown
has had occasion to visit Oroville a
number of times. He met many OF the
residents of the town, all of whom
were attracted by his great personal
geniality.
Rev. H. N. Course, formerly pastor
of the local Presbyterian church, now
living at Westport, in the extreme
west part of the state, spent Sunday
and Monday in Oroville while on his
way to attend the synod to be held at
Occur dAlene City. Mr.. Course is still
in the missionary field and has charge
of large district on the coast. He was
here during the prevalence of the long
delayed shower, and felt very much at
home coming from section OF the state
where moisture is the chief feature OF
climatic conditions, as the normal
rain fall at Westport is 100 inches an
nually. He is in excellent health and
reports his family as enjoying the
same blessing.
A. M. Tillman, the pioneer sawmill
man of the LOOMS country, was IN
town Monday. Mr.. Tillman Is just home
from Wenatchee where he was under
treatment with an eye specialist. Two
or three years ago Mr.. Tillman had to
have his right eye removed at the To-
cal hospital on account OF a growth
that had destroyed the sight The re-
moval of the eye did not entirely re-
move the cause, for the growth re-
turned. The specialist pronounced the
growth to be a cancer and In removing
1t had to cut back into the head, and
for a time it was feared that Mr.. TILL
man would not recover. Being tough
old bird A. M, is again on his feet, and
those who know him trust that he has
many years yet to live.
Red Finsen has motor boat on the
lake which he uses for carrying pas
sengers, whenever there are passen-
gers DESTROYS of trip on Osoyoos
akeA Osoyoos has recently become pop
ular as a Mecca for pleasure parties,
for some reason or other, probably be-
cause of the reign Of dampness across
the line. Sunday, Finsen took up a
crowd of eleven. which somewhat
overcrowded the capacity of the boat
and on the homeward voyage the craft
sunk near the boundary line and some
of the passengers had the pleasure OF
walking in. Finsen had the wisdom to
keep near the shore and hence none
of the passengers suffered anything
more serious than wet feet, which
only correspondent with their insides.
