The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1911-11-03

Committees appointed by the Com
mercial club are busy arranging to
have Oroville properly represented at
the Fourth National Apple Show, to
be held at Spokane the last part of the
present month. 1t is proposed to have
float in the big street parade, a prin-
cess and the band as a competitor
among the many other bands from sur
rounding towns that will be present
on the occasion. OF course, this local
ity will be represented by an apple
display Preparations for the event
require a great deal of labor and at
tention, and the committee members
are giving of their time freely in an
endeavor to make the 'isplay worthy
of the town. 1t is a duty of our
citizens to cooperate in the laudable
Undertaking and lend every assistance
in their power, so that whatever rep
resentation the town sends may be in
every respect creditable and attractive.
A feature that should arouse special
interest is the selection of some young
lady to fill the role of princess. Oro-
vile is fortunate in possessing may
pretty young ladies, indeed, there
seems to be no homely ones in all the
|: collection, any one of whom would
$Emake a regal appearance as prin-
cess. 1t only remains for the people
&f14 sselect one from the multitude to
pfeaept the town in the parade. Spo-
