ROOSEVELT WINS In ILLINOIS

Chicago, April 0.-Incomplete re-
turns today from all sections of I'LL
nois indicate that Roosevelt will
have plurality over Taft in the pres
idential primaries of lis, 900 to $780,
900. 1t is certain that fifty-two of
the Illinois delegates will be pledged
to Roosevelt.
Later returns show that Roosevelt
has carried the home district of Con-
gresham Mckinley, Taft's manager,
and also the home district of former
Speaker Cannon. Roosevelt's plural
ity is placed at 10000.
r Clark Also Winner
Speaker Champ Clark defeated
Woodrow Wilson for the Democratic
nomination three votes to one.
Taft carried one district, the fifth,
Senator Lorimer's stronghold.
LaFollette polled about 100000
votes. Considering that he made no
speeches IN Illinois and practically no
campaign, his showing is thought re-
markable.
Hughes as Dark Horse
Rochester, N. Y, April 10.-Chas.
e. Hughes, justice of the United

lette are nominated in the early bal
loting at Chicago, Hughes will be the
man to win.
The standpat element here are
greatly shocked by the result of the
primaries in Illinois.

III DESERVES ENCOURAGEMENT,

Mention has been made in these COL
umns on numerous occasions of the
advisability of establishing a public
auction room in Oroville, and at last
the suggestion bids fair to be taken up.
Whether real action grew out of the
suggestion, or a practical demonstra-
ton that the proposition is feasible, a
movement is on foot to establish an
auction room, and If results follow
the public will not care who, where
or when the idea originated. 1t is
now proposed by a number of busi-
ness men to secure some available and
centrally located room and put on an
auction sale every Saturday, or at
least every other Saturday. L. w.
Barnes, who is clever and successful
as cryer, has been approached and
solicited to take charge of these sales.
The plan Is to make is public mart,
free to all who wish to dispose of any
kind of property, the seller allowing
a small percentage of the receipts to
the auctioneer to reimburse him for
his time and labor. An institution of
the kind where people could take
what they had to sell and dispose of it,
or go to when there was anything they
wanted to buy. would prove great
convenience to the public and grow
rapidly in popularity. 1t is hoped that
the interest at present manifested in
the project will not be permitted to
flag and die out,

in CHOICE ORE.

5. L. Stanton, who has a force of
men working on the 49th Parallel, re-
ports that at 161 feet depth in the
shaft fine body of high grade ore
has Just been encountered. This ap-
pear to bse rich shoot in the ledge
that the shaft has been following, as
the vein has carried mineral from the
grass roots. The ledge is a very
strong one and well defined. The
character of the ore has been improv-
ing as depth was gained, and now
there is an almost solid ore exposure
between the walls. 1t is calculated
that in the numerous workings on the
PARALLEL more than 10000 tons of ore
Is blocked out, the lowest assay run
nlng $lO. 1t is concentrating prop
osltion, and the owners are now con-
sldering the advisability of installing
mill. The mining situation in this
locality was never more encouraging
as the result of earnest and intelli-
gent operations, and this is especially
the case on Kruger mountain. where
the Parallel is situated. 1t is in the
same zone with the Lake View-Divi
dend, Golden Chariot, o. X, Gold Dust
and other we'll known claims. If all
signs are not at fault there is going
to be some cracking good mines made
in that district, and the making of
them will be an important factor in
aiding in building up Oroville. And
such reports as come from the Para
llel encourages the belief that the date
OF making real mines is near at hand.

RIGHT.OF.WAY SECURED.

r. P. Hoskyn has received word
from the general land Office that the
department has acted favorably upon
the application for right-of-way for a
canal across the lands along the ST.
milkameen river, withdrawn from en-
try by the government some time ago,
and granted the request, notifying the
land office at Waterville to enter the
same on the plat books so that it would
be a matter of official record. Thus
is every possible impediment to the
construction of the proposed local ir-
rigation systems removed. In this
transaction of securing right-of-
for canal Mr.. Hoskyn represented
the Oroville Land and Development
company. That company made the
first application for canal line right
of-way over the withdrawn lands, and
subsequently assigned it's interest to
the East and West Okanogan Valley
Irrigation districts. Among the nu-
merous good things that have already
been coming Oroville's way none is
more important than this concession
by the government, and nothing now
stands in the way of a legal bond
issue.

LOSING GOOD CITIZENS.

Tuesday morning Mr.. and Mrs. Ira
w. Follis and son Gibson left for Spo-
kane, and after few days visit with
relatives in that city they will go on
to Colfax, the home of Mr. Follis' par
ents, where they may locate perma-
nently. In the departure of Mr.. and
Mrs. Follis, Oroville loses very valu-
able and popular citizens, members of
that estimable younger set which
makes up goodly portion of the pop
ulation, and they will be long missed
In social, church and business circles,
IN all of which they took an active
part. Mr.. Follis came to Oroville five
years ago entering the Bank of Oro-
Vile, remaining with that Institution
until 1t was recently merged with the
First National bank. 1t was the hopes
OF those knowing him that Mr.. Follis
might find some congenial work and
continue a resident of Oroville. That
not being possible at this time he was
compelled to go elsewhere. Mr.. Follis
takes away kindly feeling for the
town and people, and his confidence in
the future of Oroville is unshaken. 1t
is Just possible that he may return in
the spring, and should he elect to do
so he will find a hearty welcome await
ing.

CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES.

The Christmas services in the Pres
byterian church Sunday evening were
enjoyed by a congregation that filled
every available seat and left some
standing. 1t was a crowd imbued with
the Christmas spirit, and the enter
tainment provided breathed Christmas
in every number. The interior of the
cozy little church was handsomely
and profusely decorated, exhibiting
both SKILL and taste on the part of the
artists. At the back of the pulpit
platform was very realistic imitation
fireplace. The program was made up
of songs and recitations, among them
being pleasingly rendered solos by
Miss Hermenia Grieger, Mrs. A. p.
Murray and Mrs. b. J. Cutler. At the
close of this interesting feature the
regulation Santa Claus brust forth
from the fire place, welcomed by ex-
cited exclamations of the youngsters,
and the hearts of the many children
we're gladdened by the distribution of
nresents that followed. A feature of
the arrangements was the time-hon-
ored Christmas tree, rich in glittering
decorations and myriad lights. with
the customary wealth of seasonable
fruitage.
