ADVANTAGE of a Small Town to a Girl

"rhe Girl in the Small Town. is the
title OF an article in the November
Woman Home Companion, an extract
from which follows:
There is in many small towns-in the
average small town, l would say-a
limited outlook, a narrow way OF seeing
life, lack of breadth, a lack OF energy.
There are few social advantages, we
think; for teas and lupcheons and re-
ceptions and balls which flourish in
large towns and cities are very much the
exception. One might go on good
deal further IN naming the limitations
and disadvantages Of life in small
town, and yet from wider experience
and fuller knowledge | can now say to
you nevertheless that it is strongly my
opinion and my conviction that the
small town girl has, as a rule, far more
opportunities and far more chances for
success in life than the girl brought up
in the city.
"Just what are these chancesY Most
of them may in a general way may be
included in these two main opportunities
which are to be found in most small
towns; namely, greater leisure for i'm
provement and culture, and greater free
dom to develop along original lines.
1.-THE average city girl is poor in time;
the average town girl is rich IN it. Life
10 great city, even to the girl who is
not self-supporting, is good deal OF a
strain. The variety of interests, the
contact with many lives-the mere sights
and sounds continually playing upon
the nerves and the attention are in
themselves absorbing OF strength.

At DEATHS DOOR.

A fortnight ago Mrs. Oscar Tram
mel, wife of the local telegraph Oper-
atOr, left Oroville with her infant son
to visit her parents at Valley Stevens
county. She left here in the flush of
health and in buoyant spirits. Sunday
Mr.. Trummel was terribly shocked by
receiving dispatch stating that his
wife was at the point of death. In a
desperate effort to reach the bedside
of his wife at the earliest possible mo-
ment the young man took an autOmo-
bile and started for valley by way OF
Republic. The travellers got as far as

his destination. Only the most meagre

PLEASED WITH THE COUNTRY.

Jas. C. Cunningham, vice president,
and J. E. Ferris. treasurer, Of the
Union Trust and Savings bank, one OF
the strong financial institutions OF
Spokane, were in Oroville last week
in company with Arthur Lund. the
Riverside banker, who represents the
loan department of the Union Trust
in this county. They had been over
good deal OF the county on tour OF
inspection, and the Spokane gentlemen
were on their way home from this
place. Mr.. Cunningham is familiar
with the conditions and bright pros
poets of this upper country, as he has
been a visitor here on number OF
occasions. 1t was the first visit for
Mr.. Ferris. and the Impressions ne
formed of he country were most raw

with Mr.. Ferris. as he came west

WILL NOT OBSERVE.

From present appearances II looks
as though so far as Oroville is con-
cerned the 4th of July will 60 by de-
fault this year without a general pub
lie celebration. Oroville celebrated
last year. and will probably lay low
this time, unless the citizens suddenly
take it into their heads to spring a
hurrah Ii such movement Is to take
place it must be quick action, for
there Is very little time left to prepare
for a demonstration on large scale.
In lieu OF regular stereOtyped 4th of
July celebration what is the matter
with the citizens arranging for some
thing in the nature OF fortnightly open
air entertainments to take place on
Saturdays? Such entertainments could
be made attractive without being elab-
crate and expensive. they would sup
ply entertainment and amusement for
the people in town and from the sur
rounding country, and have the effect
of drawing frequent crowds to this
place. This Is just suggestion tina,
the business men might consider and
act upon or let alone as they saw fit.

ODD FELLOWS TO BUILD.

While nothing has been said recently
upon the subject the project of build
ing an Odd Fellows hall in this place
has not fallen through. The building
committee of the lodge is still having
contractors figure on the cost, and 1t
is expected that some decision will be
reached within few weeks. 1t is
now the intention to have the build
ing completed and ready for occupancy
before cold weather sets in. The site
of the proposed hall is on the corner
south of and across the street from the
big new hotel building, the foundation
for which is now being excavated.
With those corners decorated with SOL
id and attractive brick blocks the town
will take on more substantial ap-
pearance, and the future building On
the main thoroughfare will be of the
same permanent character. The pros
poets of the town justifies these invest
ments. and it is but the beginning of
the day when Main street, from Sigrist
hall to the Peerless hotel, will be
continuous brick, stone and concrete
frontage.

means for the advancement and de-

in an abnormal increase in the popu-

Empire who can possibly spare the
time should accept the invitation and
by numbers give the meeting the SEM
blance Of strength and influence. With
united action. combined with the back
ing of such an important factor as the
Spokane Chamber OF Commerce much
good can be accomplished. There Is
every reason to believe that the Spo-
kane people are earnest and sincere
in this movement, and It is in the in
terest OF the country at large to &C
cept the olive branch, and join hands
with the representative men of the big
city in working along lines that prom
ise to prove mutually beneficial. This
gathering will probably result in an
organization that will subsequently
meet at intervals and prove to be a
power in fastening the growth and
upbuilding of eastern Washington, and
especially those portions of eastern
Washington that have been backward
in coming to the front on account OF
lack of much needed publicity. II Is
a cOmmendable movement. and should

WORTH WORKING FOR.

f. McCammon has been in cores
pondencc with eastern investors for
some weeks over the proposition Of
constructing an electric road down
the west side of the Okanogan river
from Oroville to Wenatchee. OF course
nothing that could be remotely con-
strued as certainty has grown out of
the correspondence. There is no ques-
tion but that the time will come when
such n road would be great advan
tage to the country along the route
mentioned, and would be paying in
vestment for the builders. 1t is well
to keep the matter before those who
are in the business of electric road
building, and no doubt Mr.. McCammon
will give his correspondents figures
that will cause them to sit up and take
notice, and encourage them to look
more carefully over the proposition.

counted for by the heavy, soaking
rains that have fallen in May. All
vegetation has fairly leaped from the
ground. In some of the valley ranches
rye stands as high as the fence, and
as thick as a tropical jungle Fruit
trees set out this spring are making
marvellous growth, while older trees
are shooting out new branches with
the indication that the spread of new
wood will be far greater than last
year, and last year was record break
er for intense growth. For a number
of years, owing to the damage caused
by the grazing of large bands of sheep,
the bunch grass, once the boast of the
OkanOgan country in conjunction with
fat beef, had almost disappeared. This
year the bunch grass has sprung up
everywhere luXuriantly, and the Old
range is again a waving mass of ver-
dure. A more heavy and beautiful
blanket of green velvet never clothed
the hills, at least so it seems even to
those familiar with the changes that
the seasons bring about up this way,
and the soft texture of the covering
invites one to rest. 1t is worth while
to take few hours off and indulge in
a drive up or down the valley, the di-
rection is immaterial, Just at this time

seeing the country at it's best. Stran-
gers who arrive in the country are
struck with admiration, and can hard
ly find words to express their delight
at the scene presented to their view.
Those who have long lived here, and
are surfeited with scenery, hardly real
ize how fortunately they are situated
as to attractive surroundings. If this
valley is not really known as "The
Garden of the Gods" it is surely enti-
tied to that designation. for the gods

is 1T RAILROAD BUILDING!

Maj A. Nj. Anderson, right-of-way
man for the Great Northern road,
made a rush into Oroville Monday
evening. accompanied by govern
ment official of the Indian department,
rushed down to the Pierre allotment,
five miles south of town, in an auto
mobile accompanied by Jas. Forde,
rushed back and rushed out on the
Tuesday morning train. The aim and
object of the rush act is unknown. but
it is small peg to hang a hope on
that the rush trip was for the pur
pose of cinching the privilege of put
ting in side track at the Pierre al
lotment, and that the sudden appear
ance and disappearance of the major
will be followed by rush work on the
branch. This is merely a surmise
however. and is surmised because the
wish is father to the surmise.
