The people of Oroville stand almost
unit in favor of using every hon
orable means to secure the object that
has been advocated and agitated BIZ
snnialy for years, and which will con-
tinue to be agitated until the object is
finally accomplished, for it is realized
that the present unsatisfactory and
oppressive conditions cannot go on
continuing indefinitely. In fact no
man who has partical of interest in
the present or future welfare of OrO-
Vile, who possesses single spark of
loyalty to his home town. can afford
10 oppose the effort now being put
forth to gain that which we have all
been so long working and hoping for.
Il Is not believed that any local divi-
sion Of sentiment will take form, be-
cause there are no weaklings in our
midst Men may differ as to details,
that is natural. but they are honest
differences. and it is not believed that
any one can be found who will take a
position inimical to the best interests
o. the town in which they live and
IRON which they derive a support. At
The meeting. and the. one that pre-
seded 1t, the sole object discussed
vas division and the best plan to fol-
low to accomplish that object. The
lines Of severance are tentative. and
may be subject to change. Name.
county seat and other questions can be
settled later. The one point to keep
a vewais division. The fact Is the
eople OF the north end have no other
choice. Mr.. Picken entered the lists
M threw down the gauntlet as Il
fcslative candidate opposed to di-
lSon tie and his hackers have
ofced the issue and divisionists would
taking a pusillanimous position If
aey did not accept the challenge.
itVentnally candidate will be COM
ahed upon, and the fight will be
sased to the bitter end. Under the
ufcamstances can any resident OF
NoVllle lay down and sapinely admit
nal his town Is off the map, and he
as not the heart to put up a fight on
is behalf?
