4 CLOSE CALL.

Mention was made in the issue of
last week that DR.. w. T. Schwabland
had gone to Spokane to be operated
on for appendicitis. The operation
was performed Friday, and a most dis
NAL dispatch was received Friday af-
ternoon as to the patients condition.
1t was stated that upon operating the
appendix was found to be ruptured,
that the doctor was very low and the
chances of his recovery were very
doubtful. The friends of the doctor,
and they are legion, were shocked be-
yond expression, even those who have
on occasion taken issue with him eX-
pressed keen regret, and gloom hung
over the town. The kilograms of Sat
urday and Sunday from his bedside
were more alarming, and the most op-
tomistic gave up hope of ever seeing
the genial, kindly, sympathetic little
disciple of Esculapius in the flesh
again. This feeling of depression con-
tinued up until Monday afternoon,
when a paean of thanksgiving went up
over the news that the doctor had raj
lied and every symptom favored a
speedy recovery. DR.. Schwabland
would never have known what warm
place he holds in the hearts of the cit
liens of Oroville had it not been for
his going down into the shadows of
the valley of death and almost as q
miracle saved at the very brink of the
abyss.

BIG LAUGH COMING.

Local talent will hold the boards
at Cummings hall next Tuesday even
ing, Ia which time and place will be
presented by home performers the
screaming farce Union Station" Not
being familiar with the production
the writer cannot give a synopsis of
the play, nor can he anticipate a good
thing by giving even hint as to
what may be expected. any more than
that it will present an opportunity to
tear off laughs in great chunks. Those
who are on the inside throw no light
on the subject, for when they attempt
an explanation they commence trill-
ing merry ha has in such prodigiOus
numbers that explanations become
indistlnct and unrecognizable When
they catch their second wind they can
only say, "Be there and have some

throw fits, and the few hazy intima-
tions It would seem that Union Sta
ton" is simply immense, and you
want 20 go early and secure a front
seat il order not to miss point of
the joy to be tapped.

SAYS THE OLDEST INHABITANT.

Persons with vivid recollection state
that farmers in this neighborhood
planted potatoes on the 14th of Febru-
ary six years ago, and about the
middle of March the world hereabouts
was covered with blanket of snow
1t is somewhat reassuring to learn
that not sufficient snow fell during the
earlier part of that winter for sleigh
ing. Winter held off performing it
would seem, until period when
spring was naturally to be expected
AS this country experienced cold and
snow of gehteel sutficiency and then
some, in the early months of this
winter it is almost safe to pin ones
hopes to an escape from the March
visitation of half dozen years ago.

OFF TO WATERVILLE.

The Rev. H. M. Course and wife left
Monday for Watervill,e where Rev.
Course assumes charge of the Pres
byterian church A brother of Rev.
Course came up with conveyance
from Chelan and the family, with their
household goods, were driven across
country by easy stages. Rev. Course
has had charge of the church in Oro-
vile for over three years, and during
his pastorate here has built up not on
ly a handsome little church edifice
but considerable congregation. In
conjunction with his work here he es
tablished a church and conducted SER
vices alternate Sundays at Kipling
Rev. Course is successful church
missionary, and worked in what is now
Grant county before coming here. He
is an earnest and sincere christian dis
playing much zeal and energy doing
what is the hardest work in the min
istry, laying the foundations upon
which are to be built up future church
communities. His ministrations here
will always be remembered by the
monument he has left in the shape of
church as well as his own people,
will always be pleased to learn of his
well doing in the field he has chosen
for his life's work

AN OFFICIAL Wall.

Sheriff Thorp comes out in a letter
in the Conconully Record in which he
gives those editors in the county who
have had the termidity to mildly crit
icize the sheriff's Office a pedigogic
dressing down. This paper has had
the audacity to question the ethics of
the administration of justice in hiring
men to induce others to commit crimes
but as that is about the head and front
of our offending We do not take upon
ourselves all the scolding. Mr.. Thorp,
at the beginning Of his hostile broad
side, is mistaken in his assumption
that the editor of the Gazette, Gf the
Gazette is included in his castigation,) }
is prone to rush into print (Which,
blythe way is an eXecrable habit for
an editor to get into,) making mis-
leading statements" about county Of
ficials that he may not like" The
relations of this paper to Mr.. Thorp
and his assistants has always been
friendly, as the back files of the Ga
zette will fully establish. If the Ga
zette had had any unkindly feeling
towards Mr.. Thorp there have been
opportunities in the past when that
unkindly feeling could have been dis
played in a manner that would not
have read pleasantly. Because
| this paper denounces a system-and
| possibly not so much the system as
sometimes worked,-for which Mr.
ThOrp is not remotely responsible, is
no sign that it is unfriendly to Mr.
| Thorp. 1t makes no difference if the
supreme court has upheld the practice
of using stool pigeons the way the
stool pigeon" has conducted that ne
| farious practice On occasions in this
county is condemnatory and unworthy
of a decent citizen Mr.. Thorp himself
will not deny that the man who induc-
es another to commit a crime, and bat
tens on what he receives for inducing
I that crime, is as morally guilty as the
principal To the Gazette there is
something repulsively shocking in a
| systematic effort through persuasion
misrepresentation or outright false
hood to induce man to break the law

QUIET on THE COAST.

l.. +. Work returned home Monday
after IN absence of some three weeks,
during which he Travelled extensively
on thf coast going as far south as
San francisco Mr.. Work reports
that business conditions on the out
side are rather quiet, although feel
ing exists that change for the bet
ter will be noticeable in the spring.
The Impression exists that the condi-
tions pre- largely owing to the uncer-
tain attitude of congress, as that
body loses sight of commercial and
industrial interests during presiden-
tial election years, and tjrns atten-
ton to playing politics, which is de-
moralfzing to business and reflec-
ton upon the intelligence of those
who sit in the game. However, what
ever the cause, there is a lack of busi-
ness energy on the coast at the pres
ent time, but Mr. Work is optomistic
and looks for marked improvement
before long. and especially in this
part Of the country

CHANGE AT LOOMS.

1t is reported here that James M.
Judd has sold his livery stable at
Loomis to Ed. Bown, who operates the
stage line between Nighthawk and
Conconully. That means the elimina-
ton of the pioneer business man in
that old mining camp, and LOomis
will hardly seem like Loomis to the
old timers not to see Jim Judd rum
aging around the old barn. Mr. Judd
has conducted livery stable at Loom
is for twenty years, was one of the
first settlers in the place, and is known
by almost all the residents of the
north part of the county When it
comes to big-hearted, whole-souled
men they don't find them any better
than Jim Judd. 1t will be strange
life for him being away from that an
cient stable, and he will find it diff
ficult to adjust himself to another
avOcatiOn.

force that surveyed and located the
Oroville-Wenatchee branch from Oro-
vile to Pateros. He has been at his
home in Oroville ali winter awaiting
instructions. This order to report at
Wenatchee would indicate that his
services are needed on the branch
from Wenachee northward This may
be taxing the imagination, although
there is hardly any other conclusion
to draw. 1t is regretted that railroad
employees are so secretive. That is
a part of their business, and no fault
can be found with a man following
instructions and obeying orders. Yet
it is suspicioned that if Mr.. Overman
was free to talk he could drop word
that could be worked up into an in
teresting item relative to the early
beginning of work on the branch.

consideration, and there is no cause
that will win out in the end bolstered
up by such a system. If Mr.. Thorp
thinks otherwise his moral nature is
too blunted to fit him for bearing wit
ness against fellowman. Mr.. Thorp
questions the source of information of
the editors. In the case of the Gazette
the information came from men whose
word would stand in any court of law
with that of Mr.. Thorp. Our energetic
and capable sheriff should not be too
thin skinned. All men cannot think
alike. If he thinks stool pigeoning to
be virtue this paper considers it an
evil, when carried on as it has been in
this count on occasions, and the editor
will be commenting upon it unfavor-
ably whenever similar cases come to
his notice, which, it is sincerely trust
ed, will never occur again.

ROADS OFF AGAIN.

With the breaking up Of winter the
roads radiating from Oroville are re-
ported to be in bad shape for travel
in many places. Considering the mon
ey that has been spent on the roads
in this county there should be no rea-
son for this complaint. Enough has
been squandered by incompetent road
builders in laying out, working and
repairing roads to have supplied the
county with a system of permanent
macadamized turnpikes. 1t is recog
nized that it is difficult to construct
and maintain roads in a mountainous
country, yet the complaint of poor
roads holds against those in the val
leys as we'll as those in the hills. The
taxpayers are surely bled enough to
secure some tangible evidence of re-
turns in the way of permanent i'm
provements. So long as the county is
as large as it is at present, and the
road moneys must be spread so thinly
over such a vast territory there will
be no hopes of good roads, or a re-
duction in taxation. The people might
as well wake up to this fact, and for
their own protection demand a change.
