PERFORMERS ARE TALENTED.

The three Hume sisters, billed as
the "Neapolitan Entertainers" have
been preparing for some months to
take the road and give entertainments
over an extended circuit during the
summer and throughout the winter.
They will open their campaign at Okla
hogan June 26, following at Omak
June q and Pateros June 20. Other
dates are being arranged, as it is their
intention to continue on the road for
an indefinite period, travelling from
place to place by auto. The sisters
are exceptionally clever artists both
as vOcOlists and instrumentalists and
are not nOvices in this line of work,
as they have frequently appeared in
concert in large cities, winning an
enviable reputation as entertainers.
They present pleasing and refined
program made up of vocal and in
strumental numbers with sprightly
charm that carries an audience by
storm. The young ladies have kindly
lent their assistance at entertain
ments in Oroville on two or three oc-
casions. and they made such a de-
cided and instantaneous hit that those
(who had the pleasure Of hearing them
Ehave often expressed the hope that
they would give a concert in their
home town, as the little they heard
only created a desire for more. We
have no hesitancy in promising the
residents Of the valley towns where
the Hume sisters are to appear next
week one Of the most delightful treats
that they have had the opportunity
to enjoy in many a year.

sincere feelings of regret by a large
circle acquaintances:

On June 2, 1887, she was married
to George B. Stocking in Warsaw, N
Y. and after a brief residence In
Rochester, Minn., came to Tacoma
Washington in 1889. She resided with
her husband and children until 1899
when she came to Republic living here

The pictures of this section were of

AS piece of striking publicity il
is probably the most impressive ad-
vertisement of the Pacific Northwest
ever produced while its timeliness. ap-

ways in which the Pacific Northwest

the beauties OF this region and entic-

tation OF being classed as the best

must be prepared to do their level
best. Considering the records so far
made by the visitors this season. and
the fact that although some what
loosely organized Oroville has a num-
Der of promising players, the Sunday

crowd, and give that crowd the worth
of its money no matter how large it
may prove to be.

sociation office is the busiest place
in town these days and both N. J.
Emory, manager, and w. B. SexsOn,
secretary, are working sixteen hours
day and on the jump constantly.
All this activity is due to the handl-

operation. Mr.. Montgomery has spent
years in South America and has
great fund of information about that

rate southern California as booming,
conditions there are not as rosy as
