bEAUT|FY|NG THE TOWN
The Rai1rod Right-of-W Way
West of Main Street
to Be Parked.
WORK OF THE CIVIC LEAGUE
That Has Taken Up This Task
Among Other Municipal
improvements.

One of the chief aims of the Civic
League is the beautifying of the town.
Trees will be supplied in the spring
and lot owners urged to plant and
care for the same. A campaign of
clean up will also be inaugurated with
the coming of warm weather Besides
these things, and others with the one
object in view of making better look
ing city, from the inception of the
League movement has been on foot
to secure the privilege of parking the
wide strip of right-of-way on the north
side of the railroad track from Main
street west. Correspondence was
carried on with the railrod officials by
J. F. Samson, on behalf of the League,
and as result during the past week
permission was granted to 60 on with
the park idea. The ladies will as
sumo charge of this improvement, and
with the assistance of the Commercial
Club, or as the organization will prob
ably be known "The Oroville Devel
opment League" will cultivate this
centrally located strip of land. set out
trees, plant flowers and lay out walks,
making it beauty spot that will at
tract the favorable attention of trav-
elers, and be source Of pleasure and
satisfaction to the residents of the
town.
This most favorably situated piece
of real estate, when the improvements
are carried out, will be an important
asset as a show feature of Oroville,
and will encourage the parking of
other lots and tracts within the cor
porate limits. Besides the improve
ment Enumerated that will appeal to
the sense of the beautiful, it is the in
tention to put up small building near
the depot, fitted and arranged espec-
tally for the display of products of the
valley. Thus utilized the improvement
of this strip of land will answer a
double purpose. While creating a
charming oasis in the very center Of
the business district, the display of
fruits, grains and vegetables will ad-
vertise the fertility of the valley lands.
The whole proposition is a happy
thought, and the public will be eager
to see it carried out.

CHOICE ORE.

Herman Krause has recently made a
rich strike on the Wehe group of
claims, near the old Wehesville post
Office. over which he is considerably
elated. Mr.. Krause has been doing
representation work on the claims,
following in on a we'll defined quartz
ledge nearly three feet wide. In break
ing out round of holes, one day last
week, Mr.. Krause encountered a shoot
of solid ore, seven inches wide on the
foot wall. 1t is by far the richest
looking ore that has so far been en-
countered anywhere in that extensive
mineral zone, has been continuous for
some distance, with every indication of
permanency. The shoot is not a wide
one, but wide enough considering the
character of the ore to give the prop
erty real value, and encourage the
stockholders to continue investiga-
tions.

AN AUCTION HOUSE.

Messrs. Stofferan & Barnes have at
last decided to supply the fortnightly
auction sales that have been under
consideration for some time. The ven-
ture is one that should meet with the
encouragement of every business man
in town. The object is more to give
the farmer the opportunity to sell on
stock and other personal property than
to put any particular line of goods on
the market. 1t supplies depot for
bargain sales which farmers will find
very convenient. The sales room is
the ground floor of Stofferan's new
block, just north of and opposite the
depot, very central location. The
only charge is small commission on
ing, and he has demonstrated that he
is live wire at the business. The
initial sale that takes place Saturday
will commence at 10 o'clock a. m, and
continue until the goods offered are
disposed of. The articles offered will
include furniture, hardware and gen
eral merchandise. Those who have
anything they wish to dispose of
should see Messrs Stofferan & Barnes
and have them fix dates for the sale.
These auction sales should grow in
popularity and become an attractive
feature of the town.

ON THE BRANCH.

The railroad situation this week Is
such as to throw shock of Joy into
the residents of the down valley coun-
try, and enliven expectations of the
eventual coming of the engine and
concomitant attachments. The hills
will soon reverberate to the music of
the steam whistle, and the sonorous
voice Of the conductor shouting "All
Aboard" will become familiar sound
The branch is getting there slowly yet
surely, and before many days a rail-
road train will cease to be a novelty
in the middle and lower end of the
valley. At present writing steel has
been laid almost to the old Indian
cemetery, below the Peterson and
Pourtales orchards, fully half way to
Tonasket. Had it not been for the
blockade in the Cascades the track
would now be in Tonasket. A portion
of the boarding cars used for the con-
struction crew have been moved down
to the first side track, some six miles
south of Oroville. The putting down
of track is naturally hindered by the
snow and cold spell, and the contract
ors have had trouble in recruiting the
gang and have been compelled to work
short handed. The extra train crew
is daily pushing material to the front,
and only the elements can further de-
lay progress.

IN HARNESS..

Frank M. Dallam, jr., who has acted
in the capacity of private secretary
to Cows. Meade and Hay for the past
six or seven years, arrived in Oroville
Monday, and Is now actively associat-
ed in the publication of the Gazette.

ents in Albany. Oregon, and will not
arrive in Oroville until in March. Mr..

the young man at the helm the Gazette
will be very much improved, and the
increased force in better shape to
handle any and all business that may
come this way.

OROVILLE MADE THE BEST.

Two experienced brick layers, who
worked at their trade in this upper
country last summer, are filling in
time during the winter with the con-
struction gang on the branch, expect
ing to find steady employment in Oro-
vile next summer laying brick. They
have examined the Oroville made
brick and declare them to be 40 per
cent better brick, and so per cent
cheaper, than any they handled last
summer. Which is a boost for the
local brickyard, and should be an in
ducement to put up brick buildings
whenever improvements in the build
ing line are undertaken.

First Step Will Be Arbitration, and
Courts May Have to Make Final
Settlement of Differences.
/ The time allowed by the city coun-
Gil in which property owners might
object to the valuation at which their
property was assessed for taxation
expired Saturday.
Two of the banks of the city and
three real estate owners filed COM
plants, and under the law these COM
plants will be arbitrated, which will
perhaps be done this week.
The two banks that object to their
assessments are the Dawson National
ana the City National. The assessors
raised the former from $4,000 to
s154,3SS, and the latter from $94,-
761 to $125,392.
The banks, it is understood, claim
that other values were not increased
in the same ratio, and they would,
therefore, if taxed on the amounts
assessed pay more than their just
part of the city's taxes.
They have retained counsel, and it
is said that if arbitration does not
result in having their assessments
lowered the courts will probably be
resorted to.
There was general complaint of the
increased valuations put upon prop
erty by the assessors this year, real |
estate and the banks especially being |
raised, but the number who decided |
