The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1911-10-06

PRESIDENT TAFT is meeting with n
most cordial reception on his wester n
tour, and thousands of people turned
out in such insurgent states as Kan
sas and Iowa to meet and greet him.
Even those who may differ with the
president as to some of his policies
cannot help but admire and respect
him for his evident honesty and sim
cerity, and for his open and outspoken
views, his conciliatory attitude toward
all factions, and at the conclusion of his
trip he will stand higher in the esti-
nation of the people of the west than
he ever has before. President Taft is
manly man as well as an able and
most worthy chief executive. He recog-
niZes the great responsibilities of the
high Office he holds. His heart is in
the right place, and he is with and for
the people. He has the courage that
few politicians have, and that is to
publicly admit that he is not infallible.
His chief aim is to do what he thinks
is right for the best interests of the
whole country, without regard to the
points of the compass. While rep
resentative of Il great political party,
he does not permit party utilization to
sway him when it comes to the COM
mon interests. Progressive in his
ideas without being radical, he favors
legislation adapted to present day con-
ditions. He believes in rational gov
ornamental measures, is opposed to the
prevalent disposition to appeal to the
prejudices and passions of men, and
is laboring to so adjust questions of
large moment affecting the body poll
tic that there may be Il fair recti-
fcation of business and industrial con-
ditions on Il plane of mutual advan-
tage to all classes. A high-minded
gentleman, a wise and able statesman,
one who does not play upon the feel
ings of the public with the tricks. of a
willy politician, is President Taft,
which is more than can be said of any
of his detractorS.

INNS BAZAAR.

1t is IA trfle too early to spring
Christmas preparations on the public,
but too often the important and vex-
ing duty of selecting presents is put
off to the eleventh hour, and then the
buyer is rushed and in his or her per-
plexity buys any old thing, with the
mental resolution that next year the
work of selection will be taken up
early enough to make better selec-
tons, more satisfactory to giver and
receiver. The ladies or the Congrega-
tional church guild, at Loomis, are
now busy preparing for their annual
Xmas bazaar, which. will be held early
in December. The ladies of LOOMS
are expert needle workers and know
how to put together fabrics in a tasty
and attractive shape. The display of
articles especially designed for, and
appropriate as, Christmas presents
will embrace fancy and useful arti-
cles of great variety, and at prices
within the reach of all To add to the
pleasure of the sale a supper will be
served in conjunction with the bazaar.

ton, as second class matter.

EUROPE is in seething turmoil at
the present moment and number OF
powers may be dragged into HOSTILE
ties. Indeed, complications may arise
that will inaugurate one OF most far
reaching wars, frightful in conse-
Quences, measured in the loss of blood
and treasure. that Europe has every
been involved in. These conditions
have been brought about by the res-
cipitate, and indefensible action OF
Italy in declaring war against Turkey
The trouble has grown out of con
flict of interests between the two gov
ernments in Tripoli. Seldom in the
history of the past has war been de-
clared and hostilities commenced So
speedily after the opening of ne
gotiations upon an important diplo-
matte question at issue, nor with aP-
parantly so slight provocation or lit
tie justification. The action Of Italy
is almost without precedent, and is
denounced bitterly by the press of En-
gland and continental Europe. The
situation emphasizes the necessity OF
some action by the powers to. hasten a
peace treaty such as President Taft
advocates.

are gradually outgrowing the juvenile
stage, but are far from decorating
with the addition of age. The COM

neSday morning, when the baggage
car attached to the Princeton train,
standing on a side track caught fire
The entire train was saved only by
the prompt action of Chas. Knudson,
one of the car repairers. The car in
which the fire occurred is combina-

o'clock Wednesday morning Mr.. Knud-
son started a fire in the stove of the
baggage compartment, as is custom

quiring his attention elsewhere. Short
ly afterward the car was discovered
to be on fire, Hose was attached to a
tap directly where the car was stand

mel of the rear door to play water on
the fire the interior of the car was a
seething mass of flames. In few
minutes the fire was under control,
but not until the interior of the bag
gage room was badly charred For
tunately the door between the bag
gage and smoking compartments was
closed so no damage was done be-

be covered by S25 or $50. In some in
explanable manner the fire caught

and oil in that end, which contributed
to the rapid spread of the flames If

CHAPTER XIV.
The Gang.

IF I'd been making IS a day at this
time 1 wouldn't have moved from the
tenement. In the first place, as far
as physical comfort went, 1 was
never better off. We had all the room
we needed.
During the winter we had used the
living room just as our forefathers did
We economized fuel in this way, and
Ruth kept the rooms spotless. We had
no fires in our bedrooms, and did not
want any.
We all of us slept with our windows
wide open. If we had had ten more
rooms we wouldn't have known what to
do with them. When we had a visitor
we received him in the kitchen. Some
of our netghbors took boarders and also
slept in the kitchen.
DO GI that % SGt as at the inouiG same Manf time 5e
many a family lives In one
room hut in the forest after this
fashion BY outsiders it's looked upon as
rather romantic. It isn't considered a
great hardship by the settlers them
selves.
Then we had the advantage of o,Ir
roof and with summer coming on we
looked forwerd to the garden and the
10Y of the warm starry nights
We had some wonderful winter pic
lures, too, from that same roof 1t was

assistance from her mother Then she
would dress herself and comb her hair
ready for her mother to braid.
You see. that helped her mother very
much in the morning, when there are 30
many things to do.
Ruth went to school, of course, but
on Saturdays she busted her room and
helped her mother make the beds. so
that the cook could spend her time
baking.
But one day cook left. and the next
morning Ruth's mother swoke with q
sick headache.
"Ill go downtown for my breakfast.
said her father. Can you manage TO
get yours7" he asked Ruth.
"Yes, indeed" answered Ruth. Il can
make toast and boil eggs"
"Can you?" said her father: then l
think I will stay here for breakfast:
did not know nv daughter was such
good hoGsskseper."
'I cannot make coffee" said Ruth:
81 think I can make that" her father
said; anyway, l VIII trV."
Ruth prepared the oranges just as sne
had seen cook, then she toasted the
thin slices Of bread and buttered them
These she put in a covered dish ana
placed on the shelf of the stove to keep
warm. The egg cups she put In NOT
water. and when she had boiled the
eggs iust three minutes, she carefully
opened them into the hot cups, which
