"He that is without fault, let him
cast the first stone"
In reply to the Illinois mans let
ter, also to it's reply by a citizen,
we should be more considerate in
our criticisms. We admit there is
room for criticism on some lines.
We are not without fault. But we
are willing to take good advice from
all corners, as we are trying to make
Lakeland model city, as we be
lieve we are doing, and we only ask
the hearty cooperation of all that
come among us. The liberal think
ing man of Lakeland has obliterated
the Mason and Dixon line. The Ian
guage of our Citizen" would sound
better if more considerable. We ask
the hearty cooperation of all. There
is neither Yank nor Reble in Lake
land, as we have outlived the war
of 81 and today we have hundreds
of northern people among us that
are here to stay and as good citizens
as we have. So let us work to the
end to make Lakeland the best town
in Florida and h"~ people among the
hest. Live the O, rule, "He that Is

A MERhY CROWD.

1t was a large and jolly crowd of
maskers and nonmaskers that danced
the old year out and the new year in
at the Orpheum Wednesday night, on
the occasion of the masquerade ball
given under the auspices of the Civic
League. 1t was the largest attended
dance OF the winter, and more mask
ers, and a better class of Costumes,
were on the floor than at any mask
ball ever given in Oroville. Pleasure
ran high, and there was not an un-
pleasant incident to mar the happi-
ness of the occasion. It was the
crowning event of the holiday festivit-
les, and all who were present, whether
OF the motley throng, or as lockers on
at the hilarity, vote it one Of the most
successful social affairs ever attended
In this place. Thos. Johnson, in the
role of Spanish grandee, was awarded
the gentleman's prize for the best
dressed character, and Miss Monte
Burkett, as Spanish senorita, the
lady's prize for the best dressed char
acter. John Mitchell took the prize
for the best sustained character, ap-
pearing as his nibs the devil, and a
devil of fellow was he. Mrs. Harvey

FINE RECORD

The total amount OF money spent
in improvements in Oroville during the
season OF 1913, including business
houses and residences, would foot up
to 100000 at least. That is not a
very large sum for buildings as COM
pared with the amounts spent annually
in the larger cities, but for a small
place it is very respectable show
ing, and is probably nearly as much
as was paid out Tor building in all
the balance OF the towns OF the cOun-
ty combined. The expenditure has
made very striking showing in the
improvement of the town, and if the
record can be repeated next year, and
the prospects are good that it will,
Oroville will have the appearance OF
being on the top wave of progress.
Every indication points to a steady
growth for the future. The rocky
road OF beginning has given way to
the smoother road of good start, and
the forward movement henceforth will
be more rapid.

Ed. Bown, of Cohconuliy, wns in
town several days this week aIrang-
ing to start off the Oroville-Concon-
ully stage line promptly ON the lst
OF January. Mr.. Bown has been mix
ed up in mail carrying contracts for
years. AS stage driver and contract i
or he has plugged over the roads of
Okanogan county ever since there has
been any roads in the county to plug
over. He has grown rotund in body
il not financially in the contracting
business, and his ruddy and jolly mug
Is familiar over the post roads from
Oroville to Brewster. He held the
contract for carrying mail between
Nighthawk and Conconully. Recently
he sloughed the job off ON Ed. Long
acre, of Loomis, but Edward wearied
of the contract and sawed it back on
Bown. When orders were issued out
of the postofiice department to switch
the run from Nighthawk to Oroville
Mr.. Bown at once got a stir and laid
his plans accordingly. In the future
he will be a frequent visitor to Oro-
vile, which is an acceptable point
in the game, as Mr.. Bown is always
pleasant individual to run across
on the street.

BACK TO THE STAGE LINE.

AS result of the strenuous appeal
for help sent out by residents of the
Loomis country, when deprived of a
daily mail service by the change Of
schedule in the running of trains to
Princeton, Postmaster Mills received
the following laconic but straight-to-
the-point telegram from the fourth as
sistant postmaster general Saturday
evening:
Affective January 1. Conconully-
Nighthawk route will end at Oroville,
supplying Wanicut Have Wanicut
contractor cease service after 31st"
Interpreted this means that on and
after Thursday, January 1, daily mail
service will be inaugurated between
Oroville and Conconully, taking in
Wanicut and Loomis. Mails for those
postoffices will arrive at and leave this
place every day, except Sunday. The
stage line from Loomis to Nighthawk
will be abandoned, and the Nighthawk-
Conconully contract transferred to the
Oroville run. So long as a stage must
be used for far the greater part of
the distance between Conconully and
Loomis and the railroad Oroville might
as well be the terminal of the service
as Nighthawk, and by establishing
The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1914-01-02

such a route the jerkwater service be-
tween Wanicut and Oroville is elm
mated. With stages coming into Oro-
vile it will make no difference to the
people of Loomis and Conconully
whether trains run further west than
this point one day or seven days q
week, they are assured of a regular
mail delivery.
The renewal of the stage line on the
Conconully Loomis Wanicut route
carries memory back to the time when
the only mail delivery in the county
was by stage, and that is not so long
ago, either. In the old days Oroville
was served by a daily stage over this
same route, and received all its mail
via Brewster, Conconully and Loomis
1t Is true that there was not a great
deal of mail coming this way then,
yet the few who were so served were
just as anxious to receive letters and
papers from the outside as are the
many who are at present accommodate
ed BY rail service Over the round
about line of travel It required three
days to get a letter to or from We
natchee, four days to Spokane or Sc
attic. Oh, those were swift old days
of communication. With the advent of
the railroad through the north part of
the county, Loomis and Conconully
were served from Oroville by stage.
When the road was extended to Night
hawk mail was carried by rail to that
station to connect with a stage line
down the Sinlahekin valley, through
Loomis to the county seat, and with
that change the Oroville-C Conconully
stage system went out of existence.
The new order Of things is only a re-
vival Of an old order Of things. The
contractor who carries the mail from
here to Conconully will not have the
same soft snap as the mail carriers of
former days. Not only has the num-
Der of people to be served greatly in
creased, but the parcel post law has
opened up an enormous bulk, a bulk
that increases with the increase Of
weight limit. Formerly a light rig
would carry all the mail routed over
this particular line, but under changed
conditions 1t will require a four-horse
freight wagon, and the animals will
have TO pO aome IN mako Tho %rir ho
tween terminals in a single day.

ON A MINING DEAL

e. 5. Campbell, mining man who
has operated in about every mining
district on the coast, and made a sue
cess of that industry both as superiu-
tendent of operations and promoter.
will leave next week for the east for
the purpose of interesting capital in
what is probably one of the best min
ing propositions in the north coun-
try. The claims that he is to handle
are embraced in the celebrated Alder
mine property, in the Methow valley,
where ore is said to be blocked out
to the value of several million dollars.
The lack of transportation is the only
thing that has stood in the way of
active working of the mine, and one of
the objects of Mr. Compbells eastern
trip is to secure the backing of suf-
ficient capital to provide means Of
hauling out the ore. 1t is such an at
tractive investment that he will have
little trouble interesting capital in
the project.
