The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1910-01-21

Orovlle-Wenatchee branch during the
past several months, came in from
Spokane Thursday last, and started
out to continue the anything but pleas
ant labor of separating the land want

the national debt.
in the valley during the winter would
not be considered great as measured in
inches anywhere else where snow is
feature of the winter, but it is some
thing very much out of the ordinary
for Oroyille. Probably there has been
a heavier deposit of the beautiful in the
past, but not for years. No fault is
found with the visitation, as it will
supply moisture for the earth when
the spring time comes gentle Annie.
A regular old fashion chinook broke
into the valley Monday night, and there
was a great rasping off of snow Tues
day. The queer wind did not remove
all of the white covering, but much of
| it, and in lieu thereof there are un-
seemly ponds all over the streets, that
became skating Kinks with the turning
on of the cold tap Tuesday night. The
| appearance of the streets after a rain
or thaw is Il stronger argument in
favor of grading than volume writ
on the subject.
The Musical Highlanders billed to
appear in Sigrist hall Tuesday evening
| We're promptly on hand on the date
advertised, and were greeted by one of
the largest audiences that has turned
out to Il public entertainment for many
months, and the crowd was well repaid
by an exceptionally mertorious per-
| Torrance. The Strangs, Archie and
| Mary. are Il whole show in themselves,
in fact the headlines of the company.
| The solos. duets and trios were most
enjoyably rendered, and the young
lady violnist was an expert on that
Instrument The Musical Highlanders
gave general satisfaction, and should
the company elect to visit Oroville
again they will be greeted by far
larger house than the one of Tuesday
evening.
G. G. Tilley and Archie Ash made a
| business trip to Okanogan during the
week. The gentlemen speak in terms
of warm commentator of the spirit of
unity and public spirit that prevails
are wide awake to the interests of the
town. If any personal differences eX-
list they are put aside for the common
good. The town has grown up almost
entirely upon the strength of mutual
endeavor. There is no line of denmark
alton as to locality. Any public inn
prOvement made, wherever made,
contributes to the benefit of all. The
town, they state, although young is al
ready bonded for $500 There was
no kick over the burden, or it's appl-
cation. The common religion is that
of pull together, and all worship at
the one shrine. 1t is an example that
every town in the county could immi-
tate to its lasting benefit
LOOMS was the scene of another
prize fight last Friday evening, that
was called a friendly boxing match to
give it responsibility. 1t may have
been friendly, and Just for points, but
friendship must have ceased at some
period in the proceedings, and in punch
ing for points there was no lack of
steam behind the blows. Witnesses
say that absence of science was made
up for in fast and furious fighting, and
that hOnOrS were so even that a decis-
ion was difficult to reach. The prin-
cipals were Jones, of LOOMS, and a
party by the name of Smith, of Con-
conully. Ten rounds were fought be-
fore large and excited audience.
Claret flowed freely, and while no
great damage was inflicted Smith had
a finger broken, and it is stated that
Jones was laid up the next day. AT
the close of the scrap Jones, who has
figured in all the fights that have been
pulled off in Loomis, made the an
nouncement that this was his last APP
pearance n the roped arena.
