S0N sional men and citi-
zens generally. No well regu-
lated town nowadays is without
a commercial club, but there
are commercial clubs and com
merclal clubs. Some exist in
name only, their usefulness be :
ing nil. Others do the publicity
stunt in a perfunctory way. and
while a help to a community
are not the force that they
should be. Others are com
posed of men who are up and
shouting all the time, and never
overlook a chance to get in a
punch for the common good.
The Oroville Commercial Club
as a whole may not be so ener-
getic as to cripple the health of
the membership in keeping up
the pace, yet it is wide awake
to any important measures af-
fecting the interests of the
town and the well being of the
citizens, and when there is any
thing to be accomplished they
are generous in donations and
the boys do not hesitate to get
in and drill The club is going
to be felt next spring and sum
mer more than ever before in
well doing for the town, and
the people are waking up to a
realization that a commercial
club is an important adjunct to
a town, and when acting as a
body has strength and influ-
ence.
The Oroville Commercial
Club has done much for the
community, and even more for
the surrounding country, dur
ing the past few months that
the general public is not aware
Of, and has initiated and car
ried out movements for which
the organization has not re-
ceived the credit that it is fully
entitled to. 1t was through the
efforts Of the commercial club
that the Holden party was in
duced to come to Oroville, and
a more valuable campaign Of
education along agricultural
lines was never carried out in
this county. The information
given out by the speakers of
that party was invaluable.
Year, etaoin shrdlu cmfwypvb
The mos pretentious and per-
manently valuable undertaking
under the auspices Of the Orc
vile Commercial Club was the
Improvement made upon the
Havillah-O roville road, that
extends fromOroville to the hill
country to the southeast. A
large sum of money was raised
by voluntary contribution and
applied to this purpose. The
supervisionof the work was in
the hands Of j. A. McGinty, a
competent overseer, and it was
well done. The new road has
proved to be a benefit to the
country adjacent thereto as
well as to the town. The club
as a body is entitled to a full
measure of praise for this i'm
provement, and among those
who aided materially in carry
ing out the plans and are es-
pecially worthy Of mention are
Chas. a. Powell and H. j. Des-
mond, who are always ready
and willing to shoulder even
more than a fair share Of the
burden of any enterprise that
has for it's aim the general bet
terment of the community. The
secretary of the Commercial
Club hands in the following re-
port on the Havillah- Oroville
road, with a statement Of con
tributions and expenditures:
