Seeing that three different individ-
uals and combinations of individuals
have their eye on Oroville as likely
location for cannery it is pretty GER
tain that the town will have that great
want supplied before the end of the
year. There is plenty of room for all
three, for the country around Oroville
can raise sufficient raw material to
supply dozen canneris, no matter
how large they might be.
Clay Fruits communication on game
protection has attracted much notice
and may bring about some desirable
laws for that object. The commits
sioners have already taken the right
step in offering 500 reward for infor-
nation that will convict any oke fof
shooting deer out of season.. If a few
of these law breakers are severely
punished in this county it will put an
end to deer killing during the closed
season.

had his eye on Oroville for some time
as an attractive place to locate, spent

man, and has demonstrated his ability
to sell land by phenomenal success in
that line in B. c. If he elects to 10
cate in Oroville he will set the pace
for real estate dealers that will keep
them going some to escape the dis
lance flag.
