mats OF THE MST WEEK HI MIS.'
I'. J. L. Masters, who spent most
of the month of August at his old home
in this place, struck out Saturday to
till dates for professional services in
the east part of the county.
More trout have been taken from
Toats coula creek this summer than
any previous year. One party camp
ing out on the stream for a week or so
caught over 500. The lower stretches
of the stream are almost tished out,and
in order to catch any trout at all the
s|iortsman must go well up in the moun
tains above the forks.
Carl Hamilton, who served during
the past summer as deputy assessor
made a trip to Oroville this week. He
may be put to work this winter classi
fying and determining the ownership
of certain lands in the county for as
sessment next year.
Mrs. Fred Schramm left Friday last
for her former home in Michigan City,
Ind. At the time of her departure she
did not know whether she would re
turn or remain east. It is possible that
Mr. Schramm will follow this fall and
relocate at his old home.
Next Friday and Saturday are the
dates for the proposed harvest carnival,
and from what can be learned it is safe
to predict that there will be one of the
largest crowds present ever seen in
Loomis. All of the ourdoor features
are of a character that will draw, and
it is the purpose of those in charge to
give visitors the worth of their money.
There has been no especial attraction
in the northern part of the county this
summer to draw people together, and
the forthcoming carnival will have
features to please and entertain. Con
siderable interest is centering on the
boxing contest. While it will be a
friendly bout the two principals met
once before in a draw, and this lime
each lighter proposes to go in to win.
It will be a hot scrap and no hippo
drome about it.
Jas. E. Forde spent Saturday and
Sunday in town looking after business
interests, and it was pleasant to see
him back in his accustomed place, even
if for only a short time.
Geo. W. Loudon, who has been out
at Spokane for several weeks in a hos
pital where he had to undergo an op
eration, returned to his home Sunday.
Mr. Loudon has more the appearance
of having lived at the swellest feed
joint in the city than in a hospital
ward, and is feeling as fit as he looks.
There are quite a number of minor
cases of sickness about the camp, es
pecially among children.
Loomis was largely represented at
Conconully this week, as a number of
residents were called down there to
act a part in the proceedings of the
superior court. ,
Ralph Wilkins, nephew of Mr. and
Mrs. L. Wentworth, has been threat
ened with typhoid fever, and was treat
ed by Dr. Suhwabland during- his late
visit. At last reports the lad was im
proving.
Dr. Schwabland was called from
Oroville Saturday to prescribe for Mrs.
Geo. W. Loudon, who has been quite
ill for some days. She was much easier
at last accounts, yet still confined to
her room.
Word has been received that Mr.
and Mrs. H. R. Gregg, who left here
some months ago to locate in Califor
nia, have decided that there is no coun
try like this north country, and have
hiked back as far as Portland. Writ
ing to a friend Mr. Gregg says : “We
have decided not to remain in this
southern country. It is nice, however,
delightful climate and unsurpassed as
a place of residence, but for a rough
and ready place in which to make
money nothing eclipses the north.”
His friends here trust he may again
locate in Washington, and somewhere
in this part of Washington.
John Whidden was in town from his
Palmer mountain ranch Monday.
Ed Klingman was over from Oro
ville Sunday.
After a couple of weeks of very hot
weather there is now a touch of fall in
the atmosphere, especially in the early
morning.
The water is running very low in
Toats coulee creek.
F. G. Burnham has returned from a
trip to the Seattle exposition.
A jury was secured in the Phillips
case without any trouble or delay. Up
ward of 50citi/.ens had been summoned
from which number a jury was to be
selected. As soon as the jury was
drawn the judge discharged the balance
in order that the expenes to the coun
ty would be reduced. The action of
the judge has caused much favorable
comment.
Mrs. Umbarger has purchased some
nine acres of the Forde ranch on the
east shore of Palmer lake, and will at
once commence the construction of a
handsome bungalow. The improve
ment of this tract will have a tendency
to attract other buyers, as the spot is
one of the most beautiful in the state
for a home.
Stock owners in this vicinity are pre
paring for the usual fall round up.
Many head of cattle run on the sum
mer range on the forest reserve in the
mountains west of Loomis, and this is
the season when the herds are driven
down to the low lands.
School opened Monday with a largo
attendance. Up to Wednesday one of
the lady teachers had not arrived, but
was expected any day.
Vincent Doody returned from Re
public Tuesday, where he had gone to
be treated for a threatened attack of
blood poisoning, very much improved*
Dgc. A. M. v. Kass drove to Orovil e
Wednesday, taking over Ed Klingman
who came in on the sta ,T dnesday
on a business visit of a few uours.
It is reported that a strong vein of
quartz has just been encounteied in
the Palmer mountain tunnel, but the
extent and value is not known. This
information is not sent out for the pur
pose of representing any big strike,
but it looks encouraging to the people
of the camp.
The last beard of the electric rail
way surveying crew was at, or near,
Bridgeport, and orders were expected
to push the survey on to Spokane.
