not possible in this upper country. He
proves that his informant was mis-

make from a foot to eighteen inches

an authoritative source, as Mr. Wheel

many fruit growing districts. He says
that an acre on the fiat will produce
more than the choicest acre in the
Wcnatchee valley. This statement is
made and published without any de
sire to disparage the Wenatchee val
ley, even were that possible, for the
reputation OF the Wenatchee valley is
established beyond room for intended
disparaging statements to change it
in the estimation of the orchardist.
Mr.. Wheeler is delighted with this To-

with the property that he would not
dispose OF it for any sum in reason.
He believes the land will double and
tribble in value within few years.
Mr. Wheeler has taken upon his
shoulders so much labor in the way
of planting out to trees and caring FOR
other tracts besides his own that one
wonders how he accOmplishes it all.
Yet he does, and neglects none of his
clients, as the present condition OF
the tracts under his charge go to
prove. Besides three or four o-acre
tracts that he is looking after. he has
about % acres in one body that he is
improving for the East Oroville Or
chard company. And every tract,
small and alrge. gives evidence OF the
magic of his touch in beautlful
showing of sturdy and rapidly grow
ing fruit trees.

4 BOOSTER.

G. c. Tilley, of this place, has been
engaged as secretary and manager of
the forthcoming fair to be held in
Greenwood. b. c., in October under
the auspices of the Greenwood Agri-
cultural association. and he has en-
tered actively upon his duties. The
Greenwood people have acted wisely
in selecting Mr.. Tilley for the respon
sible position, as much of the success
of a fair is dependent upon intelligent
management, and Mr.. Tilley will ap-
ply diligence, energy and intelligence
in the position he holds. AS hotel
man in Oroville for years, he has a
wide acquaintance, which is a great
advantage at the start; he will take
pride in his work, and will exert
every effort to make the fair sue
cess. His headquarters will be at
Greenwood, but up to the date of the
fair he will do much travelling, urging
the people of the surrounding country
to list exhibits, and arousing an in
terest in the exhibition among resi-
dents on both sides of the boundary

PAUL GILMORE COMING,

EeXl Thursday evening, August "a,
the citizens of Oroville will have an
opportunity to enjoy a dramatic treat
such as is seldom presented in a town
OF this size, when Paul Gilmore, one
or the recognized stars of the foot
llghts appears at the Lyric theater,
supported by a strong company. in
the popular and justly celebrated En-
glish society drama. The Mummy
and the Hummingbird,' one of the
strongest drawing plays on the
boards. It is only by chance that Mr..
Gilmore and his company appears in
Oroville, as in making trips through
British Columbia it was necessary to
lay over here one night, and it was
decided 70 give a performance, even
though .he largest house that could
be- expected would hardly meet the
expenses OF the troupe while here.
Mf Gilmore is making tour around
the world and has been playing every
city of any size en- route. Had it not
been for existing transportation ar
rangements. by which passengers are
held over night at this place. our peO-
pie would not have had On orportun-
ity of seeing this acknowledged stage
ctlcbrity Ill one Oh tne most e1JOyaDle
dramas that is now before the public.
The company carries its own scenery,
and the play will be presented in it's
entirety just as it is presented in the
largest cities OF the land. SO large
company has never before appeared
upon The stage in Oroville, and it will
probably be a lCng time before an
other company OF like size and repu-
tation will perform here Our citi-
zens should show their appreciation
by crowding the Lyric next Thursday
night to the limit of it's capacity

The latest improvement is The addl'
ton of a private booth fol the use OF
patrons of long distance service. The
booth itself is "A handsome piece or
oak furniture, and SO constructed as
to be sound proof The person using
the telephone line is as private as

This is something that has long been
needed at this place, as heretofore
there has been no privacy over the
long distance wire, and the patron
had to bawl out his, or her. conversa-
ton 80 that it could be heard and en-
joycd Dy all within ear shot. Mr. An
derson, while working for his own IN
terests which is very natural consld-
ering the investment, is also looking
out for the interests of the pubic,
and is sparing no expense in keeping
his telephone system up to the modern
standard. He is showing the citizens
that Oroville has grown beyond the
stage of sloppy service and any old
maleshift equipment for which he de-
serves the thanks of every individual
who finds il necessary to resort 10 the
telephone as means of intercourse
with others

VANDALISM.

While swiping watermelons may not
be looked upon as a heinOus crime,
yet very often those who indulge in
tho practice do not halt at despoiling
patch while after few melons to
appease well developed hankering
for that product of the vine. They
will ruthlessly and without reason de-
stroy many times more than they con-
sumo. During the past week some
one, or several entered Frank
Thompson's patch one night and de-
stroyed upward of $50 melons. That
kind of procedure ceases to be fun, it
is an outrage. Back in the days of
our youth the farmer found dose of
rock salt applied by means of a shot
gun the most efficacious remedy to
cure the watermelon stealing habit
that could be found. The boy, or
man, touched up with salt somehow
lost all taste for stolen fruit.

WILLARD, THE MAN OF MYSTERY.

On Thursday and Friday nights, Au-
gust 81 and September |, the attrac-
ton at the Lyric will be Mysterious
willard, and the Man of Mystery Co.
No better attraction has ever been
seen in Oroville at the prices. Coming
here direct from nine nights at the
Lyric theater in Calgary, where they
packed the house nightly, they should
have no trouble at all in filling the
house here for two nights. Willard is
one of the most finished artists ever
seen in Canada, and his work has
brought many fine comments from the
newspapers throughout the entire
northwest Each evening he will dem
Onstrate his wonderful growing test,
increasing his height from Z to in
ches and extending his arms from II
to Is inches. Besides keeping the au-
dience mystified throughout the two
hours of entertainment he keeps them
in constant roar of laughter Many
new illusions, tricks and features will
be introduced each evening, and
complete change of program is given
both nights Popular prices will pre-
vail-25c. soc and 75c. Reserved seats
will be on sale three days in advance.
Go and see the best show of its kind
that has ever visited OrOville.

r. Grieger and w. o. Hamisch went

large payrolls that always exist
where mining is carried on at a profit
1t is not a dream to expect at some
future time that the mineral deposits
of the surrounding country will play
an important part in the prosperity
OF Oroville. for there is no doubt but
that the hills are ribboned with leads
and lodges that some ayd will be Civ

mountain claims are among the near

development, it is natural to believe
the first advantages to be felt will
come from that source. Tho striking
of any quantity of rich ore in that To-
cality, therefore, is an important event
to the people of Oroville, and it is the
universal hope that the late find at

GRAIN LOOKS GOOD.

J. C.. Johnston spent two or three
DAYS last week on the north hali OF
the reservation, and his report OF
grain conditions in that part OF the
county would lead one to belieVe that
those who were making doleful state
ments as regards crop prospects were
borrowing a great deal of unnecessary
trouble. Mr.. Johnston says that ne
has never seen much better growing
grain than the many fields that came
under his observation. The stand Is

In Violation of Constitution.

Washington, May 2.-Section OF
the reapportionment bill, which passed
the house of representatives last week,
provides: THAT each state entitled un-
der this apportionment to. more than
one representative, the representatives
to the Sixty third and each subsequent
congress shall be elected by districts
composed of a contiguous and compact
territory. and containing as nearly as
practicable an equal number of inhab-
it1nts. The said districts shall be
equal to the number of representatives
to which such states may be entitled
in congress, no district electing more
than one representative
Representative Houston chairman of
the committee on census, is of opinion
that if the bill becomes a law as it
passed the house,no state, unless it re-
ceiyes an increased representation l1n-
der this bill, can send a member at
large" after this congress.
A member of the Connecticut dele
cation, although believing that Con-
necticut should be redistricted and that
the present legislature should take the
matter under consideration Immediate
ly, takes issue with Chairman Hous-
ton and says that this section is in
conflict with the constitution, which
leaves the manner Of electing repre-
sentatives to the discretion of the
states themselves. All members to
which a state IS entitled can be elect
ed 'tat large" other by popular vote or
by the Legislature. as they We're pre-
vfous to 1897.
