THE SPOKANE FAIR.

The big attraction on the outside
next week is the Spokane fair This
is an annual event that always draws
large crowds to the city from the
country. and In the past Oroville and
this vicinity has contributed fair
quota to swell the attendance No
doubt this locality will be well repre-
sented at Spokane next week, and the
attractions furnished will be well
worth going far to see. The Spokane
fair has grown with the country from
which it derives it's support, and is in
every department the most important
exposition of the fruits of the land and
the handiwork of man held on the Pa
cifc coast. Besides the exhibits of
grains, fruits, vegetables, minerals,
manufactured articles and what not,
there is always to be seen the best
racing that takes place in the north
west. Then there are free amuse-
ments supplied by the management
some of them novel and sensation
that adds to the pleasure of those W
attend The great drawing card NV
that line this year will be a bipl;
and monoplane which will make
fight daily. All cannot attend, but
all who can will miss gala time OF
it if they do not take few days of
next week and run down to Spokane.

C. S. Johnson, of Columbus, Ohio,
spent several days in Oroville during
the past week visiting with his son,

law office of Chas. f. Sigrist. Mr..
Johnson is very much pleased with
this part of the west, and it is not i'm
probable that he may eventually To-
cate in the valley. If he does it will
be the addition to the population of a
very valuable citizen.

SHORTENED LIVES.

1t is difficult to estimate the tax
put upon the abstainer from strong
drink by those who indulge The
British life insurance companies have
been viewing this matter from a
strictly business point of view, and
according to the statements made by
the actuaries of these life insurance
companies, if a young man aged 20
is total abstainer and remains such.
his prospect of life is A Years, and
he will live to the average age of ga:
but if he is temperate, regular
drinker, his prospect of life will be
81 years and he will live to the aver
age age of 81. thereby losing Is years
out of his life because of moderate
drinking. If he is a heavy drn,ler,
his prospect of life is Is years, and
he viii die at the average age of 50,
thus losing % years out of his life.
From this, the American Issue de-
cides that if you are carrying life in
surance and are q total abstainer, YOU
are charged heavily to pay the insur
ance of every drinking polcyholdor in
Your company.
To put it plain, if the total number
of policyholders were one-haf alb
stainers and one half heavy drinkers.

Agitated by the prospects should be-
come calm. for the voters acted wisely

recognized the necessity for them.
The vote Tor free books and uten-
sis for the schools was defeated BY
'nly four votes. which shows the next

succeed.
The new numbered ballot was a
splendid political device to make a
farce OF secret voting. For as the cleo

uiarly numbered lines would be able
10 identify the vote of any citizen

Roosevelt charlatanism, and unsettled

Good character and intelligence are two
essentials of good citizenship; and the
honest possession of some property is
one proof of it.
The city of Newark prospered under
an early organic law that no person
should come there and reside without
having a decent occupation. If one ar
rived without means or avocation, he
was given work for wages, or sent to
the poorhouse! if he then shirked, or
declined later, he was driven from the
town. but the aged, sick and infirm
were literally supported.
The remedy for, and protection
against business confusion and failures
lies in the cheerful performance of ap-
propriate daily work by each man in
the community, according to natural
laws, and in obedience to the AL
mighty's commands. Perhaps there is
no absolute prevention of business con-
fusion; but it can be warded off and
remedied: as to work, all kinds of it
are honorable and in constant demand.
and each day brings enough compen-
sation for every civilized man. An odd
emigrant scayenger in a neighboring
town. who did that work we'll, raised
family of sons, one of whom soon es-
tabiished large business as a con-
tractor, and amassed q solid fortune of
over five millions. A bright son of
sexton. with a, fair education, but with
no military and little business expert
ence. rose to be a lieutenant colonel and
efficient quartermaster of famous
army corps An astute man, through
life insurance business, acquired mill
lions, and became a United States SEN
ator.
True personal, commercial, business
success and excellence in work and
character should go hand in hand; and
they consist in applying settled prin-
ciples to the regular and variable con-
ditions of daily life, estimating each
material interest and abstract truth at
its Just value-neither over nor under
doing.
