MEETS WITH FORTUNE

VIM. Briley has played in consider
able luck this winter. His father-in-
law offered him a fine place within
80 miles of New York city If he would
come east and take care of it. In Or
der to accept this handsome offer
Mr.. Briley had to dispose of consid-
cradle personal property and real pro-
perty that he had accumulated in the
Whitestone neighborhood. Last Sat
urday he auctioned off his personal
property, and was fortunate in clean
ing up everything at good figures.
Since the sale he has sold his ranch
to Jas. Sanford, neighbor. There
are few details that he must adjust
and then he will leave for the east
to make his future home. Young
Briley has grown up from childhood in
the vicinity of Loomis and Whitestone
lake, and has many acquaintances in
the north part Of the county who will
congratulate him on his good fortune
while regretting to see him leave the
west.

CHEERING OUTLOOK

Since building operations stopped
here the town has been somewhat
quiet, but that is only temporary
season of dullness preliminary to the
resumption of activity in the spring.
The outlook for an active year in the
building way was never better at this
season of the year, and the chances
are favorable that there will be more
building going on during 1914 than
any single year since the town was
first settled. We can hardly hope for
many $4,000 buildings, but there will
be a number of substantial bricks, and
numerous modern residences erected.
Oroville has taken the start that
knows no halt until the flat is COW
cred with city of size and import
ance. Many people on the outside
have their eyes on Oroville, and we
look for quite an Increase in the pop
ulation by this time in 1915.

A SAD MISSION

Chas. e. Blackwell, of Riverside,
was called to Spokane Monday by
news of the serious condition of his
mother, Mrs. Geo. A. Blackwell. Mrs.
Blackwell has not been in robust
health for some years. Last summer
she went east and submitted to an
operation. For a time she felt very
much better than for months before
undergoing the ordeal, but few
weeks ago she was taken with creep
ing paralysis. She was taken to Spo-
kane for treatment, and improved, but
last week she became worse and her
son was summoned. Mrs. Blackwell
has been a resident of the county for
years, and those who know the es-
Unable lady sincerely trust that she
may recover and survive for many
years to come.
N. 3. Mr. Blackwell returned Tues
day evening and reports that his moth
or has very much improved, with hopes
'. her regaining her normal health.

PRESBYTERIAN SERVICES

An error occurred in the blue New
Years" leaflet sent out by the Pres
byterian church last Saturday, bear
ing invitations and announcements
for church services-and not the fault
Of the printer, either. The mistake
was in the item marked Mote" at the
bottom of the third inner page, where
the date Feb. s should read Feb. Is,
for the morning service will be omit
ted on Feb. Is, and not on Feb. 8.
Kindly correct it in your leaflet, so
that you may come at the right time.
Next Sunday the services will be as
announced: Sunday school at 1000

record is 44.102 lbs butter for seven
days and 171.49 lbs. in thirty days.

The pictures accompanying this ar
ticle, one of Holstein and the other

the Gazette by the kind permission Of
Hoard's Dairyman, from which ex-
cellent and authoritative dairy mag
azine the article is quoted. Hoard S
Dairyman is one of the most valuable
farm journals published in America
and a course of careful reading of that
magazine is an excellent substitute
for a course in an agricultural college
1t is an inspiration and a practical
help that guides to better methods and
bigger profits on the farm. The Ga
zette is not an agent for Hoard's
Dairyman, but it earnestly recon-
mends that paper to every farmer as
an interesting and instructive period

DINING ROOM OPEN

The new Hotel de Grubb is to be
run on the European plan, but meals
will be served in the house. The hotel
has one Of the most attractive public
dining rooms to be found anywhere,
with cozy private banqueting room.
The cuisine and dining rooms will he
in charge Of Mrs. Fred Clark, and she
will make the refectory feature Of
the hotel that will be talked about in
words of commentator throughout
the country. The tables will be sup
piled with every delicacy Of the season,
and the service one that will attract
the patronage Of those who enjoy
good eats, and can appreciate high
class service. The dining room was
opened for business Tuesday of this
week, and while the management is
somewhat handicapped on account of
the still unfinished condition Of the
interior, she Is meeting expectations
and the service will be down to a
smooth and normal condition within
few days.

AN AUTO VICTIM

Word has been received by his
daughter, Mrs. Ed. Klingman, that
Jeff Irby ran into an electric auto
mobile head on upon the streets of
Spokane Friday last. Something had
to give way, so Irby crumpled up and
the machine passed gaily over him.
When he gathered himself up Mr.. Irby
was sporting deer cash in his head
with sundry other dents, contusions
and conclusions. He was able to walk
to his room, but a doctor was re-
quired and the medico reports that It
will be two weeks before Mr.. Irby is
wholly himself. It was a very mar
row escape and the friends of the
gentleman in this place extend con-
gratulations that the damages sus-
tained were not more serious. Mr..
Irby Is one of the oldest locomotive
engineers In the employ Of the Great
Northern road. For a long time he
handled an engine on the west run.
OF late he has been pulling throttle
between Oroville and Spokane. Mr.
Irby has always labored under the
hunch that If he were ever hurt It
would not be in the line Of duty, but
that he would be run down by an au-
tomobile. Here is where Fremont
ton fitted into the thing that hap
pened.

MAY LOCATE HERE

DR.. c. H. Manley, Of Republic, spent
two or three days in Oroville during
the past week, and may decide to To-
cate here permanently, Joining DR..
Elmer in opening a private hospital.
DR.. Manley is a pioneer of Stevens
county, and one of the oldest practi-
TONERS in eastern Washington. Some
two years ago he sold out his hospital
and practice to DR.. Fred J. Whitaker,
and as the call of pills, powders and
knife is irrisistable the doctor is bent
upon getting back into harness. Pro-
badly there is moi. more inviting op-
ening in the state for modern, we'll

Oroville, and II such an institution is
opened and properly managed 1t is
bound to grow in importance and
profit. If DR.. Manley elects to locate
here the public will find him a most
congenial gentleman, a practitioner
of ability, and a valuable citizen.

In recent number of Hoards
Dairyman, G.. L. Peck tells of the re-
markable progress made in the dairy
breeds. OF the Ayrshires Mr.. Peck
says:
For rapid breaking of records and
advancement in championship pro-
duction, the Ayrshire has taken the
lead of other breeds. Prior to 1900,
10000 lbs. of milk in one year was
considered remarkable yield for
that breed. Beacon Belle had yielded
SO lbs. Of milk in one day. The high
est unofficial record claimed was A.
900 Ibis. milk in one year. Rena Ross,
owned by J. R. Valentine of Pennsyl-
vania, was the first to pass the $4,000
lb. mark and $50 lbs. butter, about
three years ago. Her victory was
short lived, as Forest Belle a few
months later passed the 10000 lb.
mark, who in turn was almost immed-
lately followed by Netherhall Brownie
TX, with record of over $4,000 lbs.
milk and 966 lbs. butter. Jean Ar
mour in a very short time appeared
upon the horizon with a record Of
20.174 lbs. milk and 912 lbs, butter,

KNOCKED OUT AN EYE
Harry Collins Meets Shocking
Accident Cranking
Auto Truck
LEVER STRIKES HIM IN FACE
Splitting Cheek and Completely
Crushing the Left
Eye Ball

Early Saturday morning as Harvey
Collins was crankipg the big auto
truck used to transport ore from the
Lake View-Dividend mine to the rail-
road, the crank slipped from his hand
and in the recoil the handle struck
him in the face, splitting open his
cheek and completely destroying his
left eye. Mr.. Collius was kuocked
unconscious and upon regaining con-
sciousness he was lying on the cross
walk near the garage, at the corner of
Central avenue and Spokane street,
having been thrown several feet by
the violence of the blow In a dazed
condition he staggered toward Main
street, but fell exhausted second
time. When he again recovered he
managed to reach the Peerless hotel,
whre he was cared for and given every
attention. nr. Beale was called and
did all in MS power to alleviate the
suffering of the unfortunate young
man. He found the eye so crushed
that it was necessary to have 1t re-
moved. Monday, in company With his
wife, Mr.: Collins went to Spokane to
enter hospital and have an operation
performed.
The eye destroyed was defective
from an injury received last spring,
when rebounding nail injured the
sight. At that time Mr.. Collins went
to Spokane for treatment. The eye
was saved, but as stated above was
sightless. Mr.. Collins, who has had
considerable experience handling au-
tos, has had charge OF the truck for
several months. AS a rule ne is a
cautious driver, and 10 usually very
careful in handling the machine. but
in this instance he was probably in
hurry and did not exercise his usual
care in operating the crank.

OrOville with his conference with Mr.
Grieger. He called upon j. A. Black
Ter, of the Oroville Townsite company,
with the result that he purchased lois
1, 2 and 3, block AZ, paying 81 900
therefor. This block of lots adjoins
the old Irving barn on the uorth. MIR.
Blackler is selling lots, and it is I'M
material to hin. what The purchaser
intends doing with the land after the
transfer, and while he was naturally
curious to know the object of the in
.vestment, Mr.. Hayden did not volun-
teer any information, and Mr.. Black
Ter had the good taste not tc press the
point. OF course there is Iuch spe,u-
alton as to why Mr.. Hayden selectcd
Oroville as place to invest some Of
his money at this time, although it is
the concensus of opinion that No mis-
take can be made in buying property
anywhere within the town limits, or
beyond, for that matter. When
shrewd and experienced city business
chap comes to small town and puts
up his sheckles for real estate the
suspicion prevails that ne Is actuated
by an inside hunch, for tha: kind of
people invest to get action on their
money. The chances are that Mr..
Hayden had some object in view, his
statement to the contrary notwith-
standing, in visiting Orovil]e and get
ting in on the ground floor. If that
object will only lead up to numbering
Mr.. Hayden, and others of his broad
guage character and calibre, among
the permanent residents of Oroville,
then 1t is all the better for Orov;lle,
and we care not what may have been
the influence that moved him, or how
much he may realize out of his invest
ment.

the place, and volunteered the predic-
ton that Oroville, in his opinion, has
a very promising future. Mr.. Hayden
may have had no personal object in
view when he ran up FROM Spokane
just to look over Oroville and the ad-
jacent country, but his actions would
indicate that an object developed after
his arrival. Mr.. Hayden approached
r. Grieger and expressed Il desire to
buy out his lumber and fuel business,
urging Mr.. Grieger to set price.
This Mr. Grieger finally did, but so
far nothing has developed from the
negotiations. Mr.. Hayden did not halt
in his efforts to gain "a foothold in

A DESERTED VILLAGE

The town has been almost complete
ly deserted this week, and there we're
times during the day when gattling
gun could have been turned loose on
Main street without endangering the
life Of man or beast. The cause of
the paucity of pedestrians was largely
due to the great number of citizens
pulled over to Conconully as witnesses
and jurors. This term of court is 60
ing to be an expensive one to Oroville
people. both as to time and money lost
in making the enforced trips. How
ever, the majesty Of the law must be
upheld, regardless of cost and incon-
venience. and this community must
stand its share.
