of one who knows how. There is

The election Tuesday to endorse the
issuance of water bonds and to extend
the water system, was very tame af-
fair. Only 36 votes were cast, which
shows considerable Indifference on the
part OF the taxpayers in an exceed
ingly important measure, that of ma
terially increasing the public indebt-
edness. However, the absence OF vot-
ers is an indication that they favored
the proposition. otherwise they would
have turned out hot foot. The vote
resulted "a in favor and against
ratification Of the bond issue and 80
in favor and against the extension
of the system.
The concert given in the M. Il.
church Tuesday evening was one of
the best and most enjoyable that has
ever taken place IN Oroville The seat

to acc ommodate the audience. And it
was a warmly appreciative audience
too for at every number the applause
was so insistent that the performers
could not refuse response. Where
all did so well it would be invidious to
particularly mention any single feat
ure. Those who took part were at
their best. and program was render
ed at which no fault could be found
by the most carping critic.
