GO-TO.Clurch Sunday u Success

The great interest aroused, together
with the beautiful weather, last Sun
day, made the "Go-To-Church Sun
DAY in Oroville great success-and
OF course, the fact that it was Easter
sunday helped some. The Methodist
church was Tiled at the morning SER
vice, as was also the Episcopal church.
Inc presbyterian church had an un-
usually large attendance, morning and
evening. In the morning the Sunday
school and church met together. 1t
was beautiful and impressive Easter
service, one long to be remembered
ny those present, service filled with
the beauty of fair flowers, sweet and
inspiring music, the charm of the chill
drens' song and recitations, the hope
OF the Easter message proclaimed in
the sermon, Now is Christ Risen,
and the spirit OF Joy and gladness and
lie SO appropriate to that day, which
Is the anniversary OF the rising from
the grave of Him who is the Prince of
Life. The rendering of the Easter an
thems by the special choir OF seven
teen voices was effective and inspir-
ing. The solos and duets, and the
quartettes in the evening were sweet
~ and beautifully sung, and enhanced
the service greatly. The Oroville band
was present in uniform and assisted
in the service by two selections ap-
propriately and beautifully rendered.
1t is estimated that not less than 100
were present in the morning at the
Presbyterian church. The evening
congregation numbered SO. Thus,
considering the attendance at all the
churches, it is evident that several
hundred extra people responded to the
Easter call, and the every body at
church movement in Oroville. 1t is
a good start. Let us keep up the same
spirit during the year.

OUT In THE COLD

Mention was made last week of the
organization of base ball league that
was to include clubs from Oroville,
Conconully, Tonasket, Omak, Okano-
gan, Brewster, Bridgeport and Mans
ield. This combination did not meet
the warm approval of some Of the
towns mentioned, and already the
league has disintergrated, or at least
ohe northern named towns have with
drawn out Of the combine. A new
league has been organized embracing
Tonasket, Conconully, Omak and Okla
hogan. In this frameup Oroville was
neither consulted or considered, simply
ignored altogether. Why this passing
up of the best ball town in the county,
considering size and attendance at
games, is past all understanding. 1t
leaves Oroville out in the cold, an
orphan and friendless, without a
leaghe to tie to. If club is organized
here it must operate as free lance,
getting games when and where it can.
The cold deal should spur the town
people up to backing local team that
can hold its own in any bush league,
and play winning ball against all
comers.

AN ANCIENT DEPOSIT

While miners were recently driving

Kruger mountain, they struck some
thing wholly unexpected, which adds
no value to the property although il
Is in the nature of great curiosity.
When the tunnel was in some 60 feet
frozen ground, frost and ice were en-
countered, which continued for several
feet. The presence of this combina-
tion of frigidity would make the tun.

STREET IMPROVEMENTS

Geo. Gardiner, the pioneer surveyor
of the north part of the county, was
out with his transit Monday locating
grade stakes he had set along Main
street and Central avenue some time
ago. The object OF going over the
ground was for the purpose of secur-
ing data upon which to base estimates
OF cost of macadamizing those
thoroughfares. The estimates will be
submitted to the town council next
Monday evening. The aim is to put a
solid surface on the streets mention

MAY START A CANNERY

w. e. Boggess recently purchased
one of the East Oroville Orchard
tracts. 1t is the intention of Mr.. Bog
CESS to Immediately improve the
tract and make it his home, and also
to install a complete cannery on the
place. He will be equipped to can
all kinds of fruits and vegetables. 1t
is too late to get the cannery installed
for this seasons run, SO what canning
Mr.. Boggess will do this season, will
be done in smaller way in his pres
ent home on the James Forde home
stead. Mr.. Boggess is a thorough,
practical and successful cannery man.
1t has been his principal business for
years in the east prior to his coming
to this state, and in fact was one of the
chief reasons why he came west to
locate in fruit district. The Or
chard tracts are an ideal location for
such venture, on account of shipp-
ing facilities. ]. T. McAllister, a
brother-in-law of Mr.. Boggess also
purchased tract adjoining the one
purchased by Mr.. Boggess. Mr.
McAllister expects to improve his lot
and move on to it this fall.

MODERN WAR IS MERCIFUL
Under Existing Conditions the Wound
ed Are Given a Fair Chance
to Recover Health.

A general impression is that with
powerful weapons of great precision
greater loss of life and greater pain
are caused. The view Is almost GER
tainly inaccurate. The modern bull
let, says the Scotsman, unless 1t Is OF
the soft-nosed type, is on the whole
merciful, and either kills outright or
gives its victim q fair chance Of re-
covery. 1t does not, a q rule. mutt
late.
The ambulance corps was practical.
ly unknown so years ago, and not
only IL aid brought more rapidly to
the wounded, but 1t is far more ef-
fective than in the pre-Lister days.
Rapidly Of conveyance has increased
beyond all comparison. In the pres
ent wal it is true to say that in many
cases men have been lying in a Brit
ish hospital within "a hours Of re-
ceiving their wounds. II the risk OF
being hit is greater, the chances OF
recovery from injury have been i'm
mensely increased.

who was very sick with "a very bad

then turned to the mother.

your little girl Is coming down with
the measles?"

Ksep the Streets Clean.

Carefulness on the part of every
body is necessary to keep the streets
|clean. A careless boy, throwing
scraps Of papers in the highway, can
make a tidy city block look untidy in
thirty seconds. But 1t is not alone
children on whom the responsibility
rests. Many a grown person has the
reprehensible habit Of casting into the
streets all sorts of unwanted articles
pieces of old newspapers, cigarette
boxes, candy bags, banana skins and
the like. Such thoughtless persons
hould be forced to a sharp realization
spf their offensive practice. The city
buffers seriously from their aggregate
tarelessness.

IN A GIRDLE OF GARDENS
Beautiful German City Of Frankfort
COmpels the Admiration Of
All Visitors

Can the new world learn from the
mistakes of the old? 1t Is Q question
one Is constantly asking, says the Chi
cago Examiner. A thousand years and
more ago, when the houses began to
spring up beneath the shelter Of .
castle. and these for further protec-
ton e girded by walls, 1t was not
possible to foresee the modern city
} with its teeming millions.
We are free. We are free to DELHI
crate, to choose. to plan for long
generations ahead. We are under OBJ
legations to plan for posterity. OPP
portunity confers obligation.
I 1t Is interesting to contrast one Of
the Oldest cities in Europe with one Of
1.-The newest; Frankfort. in Germany,
with Letchworth, in England.
The medieval Frankfort grew up on
The foundation of an old Roman settle
ment. In the twelfth century it de-
onanded for itself more space and
Pramparts were erected. Streets today
lrun the course Of those ramparts. In
ne OF them 1t may be mentioned in
passing, Goethe was born.
r. In the fourteenth century Frankfort
Aad to be enlarged again-its walls
built round = wider circumference. In
J the nineteenth century its walls were
broken down. The land on which for
tifications had stood became public
gardens; or. II sold to individuals, car
ried with It the stipulation that on a
given area only one building should be
erected, leaving the remainder for
garden.
This Is the explanation of the belt
of public and private gardens by
which Frankfort is surrounded, the
pride Of her citizens, the surprise and
delight OF all visitors.
