The county seat elimination contest
had the effect of drawing out con-
| siderable vote in this county, but take
it the state over and hardly more than
sc per cent of the legal voters went
to the polls. This does ont look as
though the people took a very great
interest in the selection of candidates
for the various offices.
The authorities did a mighty good
thing when they put man at work
driving down the exposed nails in the
sidewalk that had worked up until
they had become a continued menace
to life, limb and raiment. These pro-
truding nails have been responsible
for much damage to foot wear and
ladies dresses, and an unreasonable
amount of profanity.

The peach crop in this part of the
valley this year has been heavy, the
fruit exceptionally choice and large.
The exhibition of peaches in the win
dow of the Oroville Commercial Com.
pany's store gives the stranger some
idea of the quality Of that fruit grown
in this neighborhood. The great
trouble with peaches is they are per-
ishable fruit, and this is long dis
lance from market, SO that it is al
most impossible to dispose of the crop
at a profit. Tons upon tons Of beau
tiful peaches will 60 to waste this
year. What is needed here Is can
merry to use up the soft fruit and man
ufacture by-products. Until canning
factory is provided peach growing is
not going to be a profitable industry
