thority to the superintendent to name
school trustees, for the "old way was
good enough" He is certain, however,
that Supt. Pitts has done his duty.
Geo. l.. Pitts, candidate for reelec-
ton to the office of county superin-
tendent, declared that he had striven
to do his whole duty and that ne had
no apologies to make for carving
out the school law. The county has
made wonderful progress, even within
the past two years. When dispensary
funds gave out people voted special
leVies and went down in their pockets
in order that their boys and girls
might get the benefit of longer terms,
with the result that the school term
has been increased from an average of
six months to seven and half. School
houses are going up everywhere
modern buildings, and better teachers
are being employed. If school law
does not suit the people let it be
changed, but as long as it remains on
statute books. Geo. l.. Pitts will stick
to it to the letter.

how the expenditures of the State had
doubled In ten years. Thinks South

the trimmings, this illustrating the
point that last year SS,4OO was appro-

wrong-is not on true valuation basis.
Land in Marlboro county is assessed

CONCERT SATURDAY NIGHT.

If the weather is at all favorable the
Presbyterian church should be crowded
to the limit of its capacity tomorrow
night to hear Miss Eileen Mcguire,
who comes here heralded as one of the
sweatest singers on the road, supported
by Miss Lucy Webbing and Walter
McRaye, artists in their line of enter
tanning The program will probably
be the most enjoyable ever given in
Orovile. Those who appreciate a SUI
perior refined entertainment cannot
afford to miss this rare oppot tunily.
AS showing the popularity of the head
linerof the company the following cX-
tract is taken from the Dublin Dire
land) Irish Times "Aliss Eileen Ma
gulre the brilliant contralto from
Cork, was given most enthusiastic ic
reception upon her first appearance
here. The singing of Irish songs by
this irish girl has seldom been equalIed
in our city"

CHANGING LOCATIONS.

Mr. and Mrs. c. w. Strobridge and
son were out going passengers Satur-
day morning. on their way to Repub-
lie, where Mr.. Strobridge has mining
interests that he will look after Mr..
Strowbridge has had charge of, and
has resided at, the Triune mine for
several years. and his departure at this
time is an indication that there is not
likely to be any thing doing at that
mine this summer. Mr.. Strobridge
is an intelligent, well-posted, likeable
gentleman, who has devoted years to
mining and is thoroughly posted in
every branch of that industry. The
family enjoyed the esteem of the resi-
dents of the Golden eighborhood, and
while regretting their departure those
neighbors trust they will find their
new home pleasant one, and that a
full measure of prosperity will reward
Mr.. Strobridge's efforts in his new
field of endeavor.

CUTTING OUT HIS WORK.

A. NJ. Storch, supervisor of census
for the Third congressional district,
stopped over in Oroville last Friday
last, on his way to Spokane from a
tour of the county, meeting up with
enumerators who will soon start pry-
ing into the history of the people, past,
present and future, giving them in
structions and urging close compli-
ance with the law regulating census
taking. Mr.. Storch is in every respect
qualified for the position he holds, and
is earnest in his efforts to secure a
thorough enumeration. An Okanogan
boy, with bright future before him,
his friends up here are hoping that he
will make record for efficiency and
thoroughness, and they feel that he
will do the job as well as any one to
whom it could be intrusted.

SPLENDID ATTRACTION COMING

Commencing on next Monday night,
March 2S, the SPLENDID Eckhardt COM
pany, including Miss Josephene Dei1ry,
in an excellent selection of high class
plays comes to the Sigrist hail. in this
city, for an engagement of two nights
The first nights offering will be "Paid
In Full and if you fail to see it you
will have missed a wonderful perform
ance of very interesting comedy. 1t
is one of the distinguished and imme-
diate successes that swept into favor.
1t will be the first time this brilliant
comedy has been seen in this city.
There is a succession of psychological
surprises, an intense undercurrent that
keeps one quite apart from the delight
in the scorching satire, the double
edged humor in the sparkling lines.
Judging from conventional dramatic
standards, as is written in the recog-
nized key of pure comedy, it is one of
the best of medern times. The play
will be beautifully mounted and ex-
cellently acted. Change of plays each
night. Reserved seats can be secured
at McMahan's jewelry store. This at
traction is fully guaranteed or money
refunded.

Catholic church, was certainly bene-
fit with big B. The attendance was
terrific, and large as it was many held
tickets who did not grace the occasion
with their presence. The hall was
crowded beyond the limit of comfort,
and large as it is the floor was not spa
cious enough to comfortably accommo-
date those who attempted to mingle
in the mazzy. The patrons, however,
were in a merry mood, and managed
to have lolly time despite the crush.
The supper was donated 10y the ladies,
and an excellent repast it was. After
paying all expenses the Altar Society
was $l35 to the good. There are very
few towns of this size in the state in
which dance would net that amount,
and it speaks well for the liberality of
the population.

WHERE THEY IRRIGATE.

Clayton D. Baldwin, who lived for
years at Loomis, but is now the owner
of large acreage under the irrigation
project at Twin Falls, Idaho, stopped
over Wednesday night in Oroville, on
his way to Loomis, where he will visit
with his parents two or three days.
Mr.. Baldwin has prospered since To-
eating in Idaho, and is much pleased
with his new home. He lives where
irrigation is carried out on a gigantic
scale. One of the main canals is sc
feet wide at the bottom, and the en-.
tire flow Of Snake river can be turned
in the bitches. Twin Falls, now only
some four years old, is a city of 5000.
Land that was sold four years ago at
$25 per acre is now held at from 800
to $500 per acre. The country has its
drawbacks, but is certainly enjoying
prosperity at the pl esent time.

PRAISE FROM HIGu AUTHORITY

Hon. Geo j. Hurley, of Loomis, spent
last Friday night in Oroville, coming
over with Census Supervisor Storch
Mr.. Hurley has devoted most of his
time for several months to getting the
Indian allotments in the Sinlahekin
valley on the market, and has been so
far successful that large acreage has
been advertised and sold. He was ap-
pointed guardian to a number of minor
claimants to the land, and in order to
get in touch with those numerous in
terested parties much correspondence
and research has been necessary. MIR.
Hurley applied himself earnestly to la
Dor, not onlybecause he wanted to do it
right, but realized that the future adj
vancement of that part of the county
depends largely upon getting this vast
body of rich and unproductive land into
the possession of men who would i'm
proge and cultivate it. There were
detiiled reports to make, government
agents to meet and confer with, and
Indians, old and young, naturally of a
suspicious nature, to whom the propo-
sition had to be explained and their
consent obtained to the sale of the al
lotments. 1t required tact, patience
and time to accomplish this object.
Frequently Mr. Hurley would almost
close contract with some interest ed
party, when outside influence would be
brought to bear to make the claimant
dissatisfied. Then he would balk, CON
suming more time going over the same
ground again. At last the business in
hand was finally adjusted, large slice
of land advertised and sold, and more
will be disposed of this coming year.
Mr.. Hurley has reason to feel gratilied
with the record he made. He has re-
ceived letter from the Secretary OF
the Interior in which that high official
states that more careful, succinct and
complete report than that submitte &c
by Mr.. Hurley has not come into that
Office, and no work of that nature in
the Indian department has ever beer
more creditably adjusted. Which sim
ply means that in securing Mr.. Hurley
to represent the government in this
transaction the department was for
tunate in picking upon the right mar
for the right place,

A KINDLY RECEPTION.

J. A. Mcdonald, of Waverly, Mimi,
who was called to Loomis by the death
of his brother, Archie Mcdonald, left
Monday for his home. He decided,
after arriving in Loomis, not to take
the remains east at this time. Mr.. Nc
Donald expressed with much feeling
his appreciation Of the kindness, SYM
pathy and assistance extended to him
by the people Of Loomis, and the treat
ment he received was bright spot in
the sad mission that brought him into
the country. Only those who have
lived among them can fully understand
the warm-hearted, kindly, fellow.feel-
ing that exists among the people OF
this north country. They may have
sharp differences Of opinion on COM
mon subjects that divide communities,
but when sorrow and afiiction comes
to one Of them differences are forgot.
ten. their better nature leaps to the
fore, and no where on earth is dis
played more unostentatious yet sim
cere and kindly compassion and tender
sympathy, and no task is shirked that
will in any way alleviate distress and
suffering. Their charity is proverbial
and prodigal, and no call for financial
assistance has ever failed to awaken a
most liberal response. Mr.. Mcdonald
came out here under the impression
that he would be compelled to employ
assistants to aid him in the interment
of his brother, and found the whole
community volunteering assistance.
The sympathetic kindness was spon.
taneous, earnest, genuine, and he car.
ries back home with him q warm feel
ing of gratitude and esteem for the
people of the west who met him as a
brother, did all they could to assuage
his grief and make the burden of sor.
row lighter.

LOSS OF A GOOD CITIZEN.

Thursday morning Price Fruit left
for Nespelim, on the south half of the
reservation, where he will assist Clair
Hunt alloting Indians. 1t is with feel
ings of keen personal regret that the
announcement of the departure of Mr..
Fruit is made. He combined a sunny
disposition with an earnestness of pur-
pose in working for the best interests
of Oroville that made him great fa-
vorite in this community. He was a
strong factor as booster among the
people of this place, and he will be
missed both on account of his cheerful
personality and for the influence he ex-
-erted in every movement that aimed
for the advancement of the town. His
faith in Oroville has not weakened one
iota. He had a good opportunity Of
fered him that would make for his ma
terial advantage and accepted it. May
he make fortune anywhere he may
apply his energy and talent, and he
has superabundance of both.

in that place fell into the hands of the
Philestines. There is q hazy uncer-
tainty about the proceedings subse-
quent to the separation of Mr.. Ander-
son from his property, but function
was feature Of the forgathering, and
when Mr.. Anderson came to he was
shy valuable watch and chain, be-
sides sundry other junk Of monetary
value. 1t turned out that one Harry
Gray, living just across the line in
British Columbia, was the chief Of
fender, and he was the party who at
tached the ticker and trimmings. Dep
uty Riley Burden put up job on Gray,
by which means he caught him on this
side OF the line, recovering the watch
and chain. Gray was brought down to
Oroville and had an examination be-
fore Judge Fraser Saturday. He was
bound over in the sum of $500. In de-
fault Of bail he was committed to Jail.
Prior to turning the key on him Bur.
den considered it no more than humane
to treat his prisoner to q square, and
sought restaurant. Now Burden had
been up over night guarding his man,
and he was some drowsy. While the
meal was being prepared the officer
fell into dose, and Gray, watching his
chances, slipped away and vanished. A
surprised individual was Mr.. Burden
when he opened his eyes, after 40
winks, and discovered . vacant chair
recently occupied by the prisoner, and
he secured the town in hopes of again
getting the criminal in his clutches.
Gray had made the best of his oppor-
tunity and was off the map. How long
he will be at large is connundrum,
but If he does not shun British Colum-
bia the lynx-eyed police will soon have
him in duress. Even If Gray did es-
cape Anderson may consider that he
played lucky in recovering his watch
and chain.
