A nice little crowd of between three
and four hundred people from Loom
is, COncOnully, OrOville, Riverside,

tiOnally attractive feature of the en-
tertainment the hall being filled to
its fullest capacity, the music beyond
criticism and the program and floor
management carried through the
evening without flaw. All attend
ing guests of the day and evening

al of the entire program, returning

hours to their homes with great sat
isfaction in their entertainment. To-
nasket's first venture in city's en-
tertainment proved her ability to carry
through such an affair with entire
success.
A very said and unfortunate affair
has occurred in our midst, due to our
Indifference and neglect of the needy
and afflicted. Most of us are too much
engrossed in our own affairs of max
ing a living or seeking ways of pleas
ure to pay much attention to the
few unfortunates who may come in
our way. A few weeks ago poor
abused woman from Havillah came to
our town with her four small children
seeking refuge and relief from a
drunken, abusive husband. She was
allowed the use of a small, one-rOOm
building in town, where she and the
children have remained for several
weeks. The woman Is dying it is
claimed, from tuberculosis of the
stomach, and her young baby is also
in a very serious condition. A few
days ago the case was brought to the
attention of a few people in town
who began to investigate and found
it case for the county. DR.. Fryer
being absent, DR.. Elmer, of Oroville,
was called to attend, who made the
woman and baby. with the help of a
few humanely inclined people, as COM
Portable as possible. The family was
removed Monday to the Mission. Cases
such as this should cause us to pause
and reflect that in a land of plenty
like ours, there should be no need
of such things. There are no words
strong enough to censure the utter
Indifference of community to such
