NEW IMPROVEMENTS,

A. NORM, the new head of the steam
laundry, is arranging to add 10 his
building and make improvements that
will not only enable him to turn out
more and better work, but to reduce
the labor so as to leave a margin OF
profit for the operator. Mr. NORM is
well satisfied SO far with the business
that has come to him. but he considers
this growing field, and proposes to
keep abreast of the growth Moreover.
there is much laundry work to b"
picked up in the surrounding country.
and as he can compete with Spokane
houses engaged in the same business,
he proposes to reach out for it, His
object in increasing the capacity of his
plant at this time is so that he will be
in a position to handle all that may
come his way. NORM is a hustler, and
in time will build up big and paying
business at this point.

The big electric pump at the source
of water supply for the new water
system, large we'll in the west part
of town, was connected up this week,
and Tuesday MOI ming the pump was
set in motion for the first time and the
mains flushed. Several fire plugs were
open. and it looked good to see the
rush of water. In a few days the plant
will he in commission, and Oroville
will have, so fa' as it goes. one of the
best water systems in the state. WITH
the pressure, which can be gravity
from the reservoir. or direct from the
pump, the fire protection is as near
perect as could be made. Both for do
nestle service and as safeguard
against fire, the system will be invalu-
| able to this community.

such an organization, we believe, en-

is needed is complete reOrganiZa-
ton, with me anssigned to each cart
and the engine. The apparatus will be
of little service unless there be men
in charge who are familiar with it's

fireman to know the location of every
fire plug, and have the apparatus al

saving of thousands of dollars worth
of property. While we may hope the
occasion for the use of the apparatus
may never arise. yet fires will occur.
