The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1909-12-24

H. J. Desmond is preparing to meet
demand of newly married couples and
all others for household furniture, as
he got in a car load during the week.
This supply added to the stock already
on hand supplies him with an assortmert
that would be credit to town many
times larger than Oroville. He is in
the business to do business and has the
goods that should draw business.
The telephone proposition seems to
be hanging fire, and there is lack of
interest manifested considering the i'm
portance of local System. 1t would
surely pay from the start, and in time
become valuable fronchise. Business
men would find it adding to their bus
mess, and it would prove so great a
convenince that if once established
people would wonder how they ever
managed to get along so many years
without it,
The Oroville postotfice is listed among
the postoffices of the third class on and
after the lst day of January. This is
an indication that the town is growing.
In one respect it is more honor than
emoluments to the postmaster, as the
income was larger from the fee system
than it will be under fixed income.
According to the ruling of the depart
ment third class postmaster cannot
hold other office, and hence the change
will require Mr.. Samson to retire from
the board of councilmen.

MAY 1T MEET A CORDIAL WELCOME

The Christmas number of the GA
zETTE goes forth with this issue. 1t is
not an elaborate affair, but an effort
has been made to set forth the attrac-
tions of Oroville and Okanogan county
for those seeking location or invest
ment. 1t is not full of statistics, sim
ply brief statements relative to the
town and surrounding country. While
not of prodigious size, it represents
much labor, as it was put together by
the two proprietors within a couple of
weeks at odd moments when not at
tending to other multitudinous office
duties, and at considerable expense.
If it meets with the approval of the
public the publishers will feel that
their work has been we'll repaid. The
publishers wish to express their thanks
to those who contributed articles to the
number, and also to those who have
aided and made the enterprise possible
by their patronage. Extra copies of
the special issue can be had at this Of
flee, and every resident should send
copies to friends abroad.

THE C0NVICT---K,S
FAMlLY-.-LAW

1t is urged thae convicts must not
be kept idle, that they must earn
their living, that the people should
not be taxed to feed and clothe an
army of criminals, and so forth, and
so forth.
Let us see how this works. The
state arrests young fellow, who, let
us say, in a drunken quarrel has
stabbed companion. He is hurried
away to prison. He is brought into
court, tried and convicted. He is
sent to prison for five years or for
ten years, or for life. All the while
young wife or half dozen little
children are left without their natural
protector and support. They huddle il
a corner of the court room. They
hear the lawyers yawp. They lis
ten to the verdict. The case is
closed. The young father is bundled
off in one direction in chains. The
young family is turned off in another
in tears. The state takes the time,
the earnings of the one to itself,
leaving the other to starve and the
mother dies of despair. The boys
grow up thieves. The girls grow up
harlots. The law is indicated. The
taxpayer is protected. The criminal
classes are replenished. Is it not
damnable? Does not the society
which tolerates such monstrosities
deserve ali the evils it entails up
on itself? The state has no right to
take that mans labor from his wife
and children and give them no equiv
alent. 1t should punish the guilty,
not the innocent Every dollar that
is diverted in this way from the
natural needs of the helpless to the
uses of the public, is base blood
money that should and does carry
with it the curse of God.

GOSPEL OF FRESH
AIR AND SUNLIGHT

Five million people now living in
the United States are doomed to fill
consumptives graves unless some
thing is done to prevent it. As each
death means anxiety and grief for a
whole family, it means there will be
over 100000 persons rendered mis-
cradle by these deaths.
This is why medical men and san
itarians are preaching the gospel Of
fresh air and sunlight, Of cleanliness
and right living. They are telling
us to see to it that our homes, stores
and work places are kept clean, that
they are well ventilated, and every
possible precaution taken to render
our indoor life as nearly as possible
like that of those who live in the
open air.

property. A crew of % workmen
and five teams are at work on Tenth
avenue and now crossing the T. E.
Nash and Neis Johnson properties.
The grade from Second Avenue
South along Gardner street to Tenth
avenue is already completed. 1t will
not be long now before larger crews,
more workmen, more teams will be
employed on the grade work. These
will be added to as fast as the engin-
GERS can set the stakes and prepare
for the grade. The doubling Thorn
asses can now go over to the west
side and see the work going on in
dead earnest. Sixty days will prob
ably see most of the grading be-
tween Grand Rapids and Nekoosa

twenty, making a total of 5,945. 1t
is probable that these totals are not
absolutely complete and that Wau-
Sau has several hundred more than
were caught by the enumerators, but
the figures show a fair increase in
population and also that there is no
evidence of race suicide in the city.
There has been no big industry open

In another year, this will be changed

10 PERISH IN GALE
OUTSIDE GALVESTON

Galveston, Tex, July 21.-Eighteen
persons persisted in the terrible hur-
ricane which swept over the gulf to-
day.
The sea wall saved the city, the
loss of life occurring on the tar
pom fishing pier on the north jetty,
six miles from the city, across the
bay.
This was a new resort, two stories
high and with twenty-five rooms fur
nished. 1t was erected early this
season at a cost of $4,000.
1t is not exactly known how many
were on the pier, but it is estimat-
ed that there were between twelve
and fourteen guests and Capt. Bet
tison, the manager, and his wife and
daughter. The structure was built
to withstand a heavy gale, but col
lapsed and everyone was lost.

MODERN WO0DMEN
SANlTARIUM

We understand that the member
ship of the Modern Woodmen of
America exceeds 100000 members.
This order has established a SAM
tarium near Colorado Springs, Col
This home, or sanitarium, is for the.
members of the order who are af-
flicted with the early stages of tu-
berculosis. 1t is to be a great, large
tent city and those who come there
for care and treatment will live there
il tents the year around and they
are all equipped with an eye single
to their sanitary condition. The Wood
men Order purchased 1900 acres in
one tract and then the Z. S. gov
eminent donated, for this purpose,
SEQ acres more adjacent thereto, max
ing in all 1000 acres for this pur-
pose. 1t is supported by contribu-
tons from members and local camps.
We understand that at the last
session of the local Order of Modern
Woodmen of America in this city,
they voted $3.50 to be used in the
purchase of one tent and it's equip
ment. This we understand takes
care of four people who all live sep
erately in one tent. This was a
very creditable thing for the local
order to do and it may be the means
of bringing relief and help to some
local members.

gin, and labor, and be guided by a
mastering idea.
Such an affirmation would foster
watchful spirit of state pride, an
active conception of Civic honor,
for Grand Rapids, equal to the re-
spect we each feel for our family
and our home.
Civic pride with us as with other
cities Of the state, lays at the bottom
OF the city beautiful Every pro-
moter is a booster. Few boosters
are promoters.

THE BlUEBIRD

You pretty bluebird flying south,
Do you not miss the southern cline?
How can you leave magnolia trees
And that perpetual summer time?
you f1utter mid the dark oak trees.
You brush the pine trees tall and lone.
Do you not fear the sudden storms
And gray skies of the temperate zone?
Gaily the bird fits on his way
CHEEKY the answer that he sings,
Why every place looks bright TO me,
carry heaven on my wingst"
Miss Bessie Gaynor.
