WELCOME MOISTURE

After a protracted drouth, accom-
panied by cool weather and high winds
that squeezed every drop of moisture
out of the surface of the earth in this
region, with vegetation gasping for
even drop of dew, and bunch grass
prematurely going to seed, rain COM
menced falling Thursday evening of
last week, and it surely rained for
night and day. The old graphic and
somewhat distorted description of rain
falling in blankets and buckets full is
tame in comparison to the way water
came down while the bung was out.
1t must have been after the nature of
this shower the storm that induced
Noah to enter upon a nautical career.
Within "a hours there was a precipi
tatiOn of one and seven-tenths inches.
Rain never fell more opportunely in
the valley, and a hilarious smile has
decorated the countenances of the
population since the visitation

MOVING A BIG BUILDING

Ellis & Forde have closed a con-
tract with I. N. Wickersham, in which
Mr.. Wickersham agrees for a certain
consideration to move the store build
ings formerly occupied by the Wash
ington Commercial company, in the
old town, to lots in the rear of the
Oroville Commercial company's store.
The building is to be moved bodily,
and Mr.. Wickersham agrees to have
it in place within 21 days. The struc-
ture is 50x105 feet, and the work of
rolling it from the old to the new
location is no child's play, but Wick
ersham is experienced in the bust
ness and will get it there on time, If
he meets withs no hard luck. When
placed in position and necessary i'm
provements made it is to be used by
the Washington Motor company as a
garage, and it will make roomy
and convenient auto sto"'e.

WHAT WAS 1T

H. +. Van Dyke, who has a home
stead perched on the pinnacle of FL
lemeham mountain, brought in a
weird, strange, creepy story Sunday
which was confirmed by his sister,
formerly Mrs. Steele. Mr.. Van Dyke
tells his story in all seriousness and
without embellishments, and nothing
can shake his belief that he saw Just
what he says he did, and Mrs. Steele
is equally as positive that she was
not victim of an hallucinatior. Mr.
Van Dyke states that he was awals-
ened about 12 o'clock Saturday night
by a bright light shining into his bed
room window. Startled and fearing
that something about the premises
was on fire he hastily got out of bee
and rushed out doors. He was
amazed at discovering that the ligh
was produced by what he insists was

for the occasional presence of repre-

1t Is hard to conceive, without be-

people who enter this big department

pretty things, is large factor in aug

building every day was to spend ever
SO little the proprietors would speedi-
ly grow so rich that they would retire
from business. Notwithstanding the
thousands of feet of floor space at
times it seems as though every foot
or space was occupied. Looking over
every floor one sees a seething mass of
humanity. There are numerous doors
for entry and exit and at every en-
trance there are two streams of people
one flowing in the other flowing out.
What strikes the observer as remark
able is the admirable and perfect sys-

SOLUTION TO LOCAL MINING

Will B. Dornberg, of Spokane, who
is mining up on the Tulameen, above
Princeton, stopped over Sunday in
Oroville especially to visit and in
spect some claims owned by that old
time prospector, Joe Hunter. These
claims are located on the ridge on the
north side of the Similkameen river,
a few miles west of Oroville. Mr..

It is now apparent why MT G. Watermelon Brown has been betting SC heavily on the Westsiders against the Eastsiders in the Sunday benefit baseball game. Now, wise man can lCOk see and tell the reason Of Browns reckless wagering of four bits on the outcome. He must have known all the time that his outfit of once vuzzes can lick Be~t Reeves Wood Bees.
 Mr Brown has signed up practical Iy all the unattached baseball talen on the west side of Washington street, to play the game for him. lie will have no less than twenty six players in uniform at the game.
 No less would do," he explains, it will be a gruelling game and we must prepare for contingencies"
 Brownie may know what contin- gencies are, but some folks have their doubts
 The fact that Reeves is saying little leads some to believe he is saving wood He undoubtedly has some fine timber on the east side of town, tim
 her which if properly cut and jincd will make a classy baseball machine
 The association has added a few at fractions since last they were heard
 fl om. One of the said attractions is the concert and parade by the Ma tional Guard band and another is the fact that Ex Ray Claire Simpson is going to be the fleet base judge. Her worker behind the bat is to be Jim Murray, the American Association l umpire, who is now resting and re , cUpcrating in Phoenix.
 The lineup of the West Hard Ciders is: II. C. Hess and Bowler Rostain, catchers "Si" Slocum, c. Hartmen, Byron Hartwell, pitchers; Rich VoIk, first base; G. w. Brown. second base; J. J.

DRESS OF PRIMA DONNA . CAUSES GREAT SENSATION

Lovers of beautiful gowns were pleased last night at the performance at the Empress of ''The SuffragetteS' for the women of the cast really wore beautiful gowns. Miss Hazel Vain wright, prima donna of the company was seen last night in an entirely new Parisian creation of white chiffon. built upon the latest lines with the charming little parasol over skirt ad- ding interest to the garment. The waist was cut decollete and embroid- cred with rhinestones and gold thread. oak leaf pattern, making splendid
 contrast to the white of the Waiste. The lower edge of the parasol skirt was
 SeWed with sable The costume creat-
 ed a great sensation both because of
 it's beauty and up-tO- -dateness. There is another thing about the dress that
 is worthy of mention, showing how
 metropolitan Phoenix is becoming. At
 , o'clock last evening Miss Wainwright
 saw the dress in the New York store
 and was so taken with it that she pur-
 chased it immediately. Manager Hey
 man promised the delivery of the ere
 ation for the evening performance, and
 as soon as it had been fitted put all hands in his WorkrOOm at work on the
 dress and it was delivered all complete one hour before the curtain went up. This naturally pleased Miss Vain wright very much.
 The other women in the cast, Miss Simpson and Miss HoldsWorth were charmingly gowned. the only possible outer impression being made by the Simpson diaphanous gown. This is the 1 first bill in some time when modern | costumes can be worn, and it is there | fore quite out of the ordinary.

 terfuge to enable him to remain

Huerta Reaine crumbIes.

WASHINGTON Nov 20. - The Washington government believes the power of the Huerta government is slowly crumbling and disintegrating. No positive step has been taken by the administration here to compel compli- ance with the demand for the elimina ton of Huerta. No preparations have been made to blockade Mexican ports. The administration, though not con doning the inhumanity of armed strife generally in Mexico, is inclined to view as having been inevitable, the reprisals by the constituencies on the fed erals, whose officers and men have been deserting side by side.
 These salient facts were obtained from those with whom President Will son discussed the Mexican situation to- day. As to the future program of the United States. the president believes this of necessity must be kept secret, as premature publication might impair it's efficiency
 Interests here tonight centered in the meeting Of the Mexican congress. Hu- erta's message was made public at the state department today. His request for sanction of his acts is regarded as significant and as an intimatiOn that if the congress does not approve his assumption of the dictatorship and pre- vious conduct, he and his cabinet will
 be perfectly resigned to it's judgment. Many people COnVersant with the situ- ation believe that Huerta merely wish
 es ratification of his acts, so as to re- tire in a dignified way.
 Secretary Bryan said he requested the navy department to cable instruc- 1 tions to Admiral Fletcher at Vera Cruz to undertake the protection of the for eign as well as American interests in the oil fields on the east coast of Mex 1co. He explained that request for protection of British interests in the | neighborhood of. TuXpam and Tampi- | co had reached the state department
 through the American embassy in Lon don. The secretary stated positively that no instructions had been given tC Admiral Fletcher to land marines ol 1 blueJackets, but he had been left to his 1 discretion how to execute the orders.
