AN APPEAL TO YOUNG MIN.

The time has come when II the eIpeo-
PIE OF Oroville wish to take advantage
or existing opportunity, and make the
pest OF 1t. they must get together. There
Is no use appealing to those who will
not put aside old moth eaten pre-
JUDGES. If there Is to be any move
ment toward concentrated effort it
Will be the better for the success of
that effort II those who insist in nurs-
ing ancient grOuches should be left
out OF the calculations. A new era is
about to dawn for Oroville, and all
cogs in the wheel of progress should
be removed, or ignored. 1t is for those
who have faith and believe in the fu-
ture OF the town, who are willing to
work together elbow to elbow, to ad-
vance the interests of the community,
to unite In this uplift and upbuilding
cause. Individual effort is commend
able, and capable of some accomplish
ment, but in order to bring about the
best results there must be collective
endeavor
The time has come when the resi-
dents of OrOville should perfect some
kind of organization for mutual sup
port in a campaign for accomplish
body to give prestige to any action
having for it's aim the encouragement
OF those seeking openings for loca-
tions OF various lines of industry, and
to lend cooperative aid and assistance
In securing information for those
seeking information. This place
should have number of Industrial
enterprises that give employment to
labor and create pay rolls, and people
looking for locations are now con-
sidering Oroville as a desirable field
to enter. Such an organization should
be in the hands of the young men of
the place. No town of the same size
can be found anywhere that contains
so many bright, intelligent, energetic,
steady, capable young men as are to
be found in Oroville This statement
is not ventured through blind 10y
atty to the town and the people there
of, but because 1t Is a simple fact. The
standing and character of the young
men in the community bears out this
claim, and 1t is common thing to
hear the older residents speak with
honest pride of this marked feature of
the population of the town. 1t Is to
the young men we must look for ef-
fective work at this time. Zeal and
enthusiasm Is to be found in this
younger blood. II they will combine
and work together they can accomplish
wonders. They should take the in
itiative, for they can act as unite
They are not poisoned by the preju-
dices of the older people. They are
broader minded, and can sink personal
differences when collective benefits
are to accrue from harmonious action.
They can forget and forgive when the
older man is slow to put aside griev-
fences, real or imagined. The young
man has his eyes fixed to the future
with bright hopes and anticipations,
while the older dwells on the past
and is slow forgetting things that in
themselves were trivialities grown to
mOnstrous Outrages through long
brooding. 1t is upon the young men
to a large extent we must depend to
grasp the chances now presented to
start the forward movement to be re-
warded by vigorous growth and devel-
opment, and they should willingly and
cheerfully take up the task. Those of
the older men who have the good of
Oroville at heart will Join in the move-
ment, and lend every assistance in
their power, by moral support and
material contributions, willing to fill
a minor part in any kind of organiza-
tion that promises to promote the
common cause. Let there be early
action in this matter of organization,
and when once perfected let every
honorable means be used to secur.
such enterprises as will tend to the
upbuilding of the town and the de-
velopment of the resources Of the sur
rounding country
