The omission of a line in F. V. Co.
vert's advertisement of hand-tailored
suits on the third page of this issue
spoils the point the advertiser desired
to make. 1t reads, "Huerta's methods
don't suit Wilson," and there ends.
The omitted lines are But our suits
will suit you" A clever play on words
and very applicable in this case, for
the man who could not be suited with
the suits that MIR. Covert sells would
be hard to suit with suitings from any
suit house.
After years lay off Oscar Trummel
could no longer resist the call Of the
dulcet dots and dashes and is back
on his old job as telegraph operator.
He has been given temporary charge
of the railroad Office at Nighthawk.
w. L. Fulweiler, formerly at the head
of that Office has been transferred to
Marcus.
Miss Louisa Studley left last week
for Spokane where she will visit with
relatives until next fall.
r. Greiger left for Spokane Thurs
day to order more machinery for use
in his new bottling works.
J. A. Raitor, who has been acting as
station agent since Morris CASTILLO
went into retirement, will probably be
retained. The selection would satisfy
the public having business with the
railroad, as Mr.. Raitor has made a
very favorable impression.

Friis barely hung on by his eyebrows
for time. 1t was all up hill labor
with much outlay and a modicum OF
return. There were two causes for
Mr.. Friis holding out He had all his
little capital invested and failure
meant going out on his uppers, and a
stern, unyielding pertinacity that
would not recognize the word fail
to the consumer. He made butter
that people demanded, children clam
ored for. Gradually the reputation OF
his creamery spread. Orders grew in
number and size. He had to add to
his facilities to meet the growing de-
mand, and finally, If not out of the
depths entirely, he could see daylight
ahead, and he had an incentive to
keep up his lick.
Last year Mr.. Friis started in man.
ufacturing ice cream as a side issue,
and he made the chilled delicacy so
enticing to the palate that it's fame
spread abroad until his machine was
taxed to it's capacity to meet the de-
mand from home and all the surroud-
ing country, and some country beyond
the surrounding. This year he has
flattened out his bank balance by fur
ther improvements. He has removed
the old cold storage plant from the
main room and built on wing, which
he has made far superior to the for
mer cold storage quarters. He has
discarded the 500-pound capacity
churn, substituting a new one that
turns out 1000 pounds at clip. 9th
er necessary paraphernalia has been
added to expedite the turning out of
his wares. All of which indicates a
live man at the helm, keeping up with
the march of progress.
1t has been stated above that this
success, or start toward the goal Of
success, was due to tenacity Of pur-
poser and sticktoativeness. 1t is in
large measure, but other elements
have had their influence. They are
honest goods, integrity without aflaw,
and personal geniality and court
esy that have won Mr.. Friis the good
will and friendship of all who have
had business dealings with him.

and are going to be red letter days
for Oroville, days that will be talked
of long after they are relegated to the
past. On those dates the annual high
school meet of the county takes place
in Oroville. Oroville made a bid for
the honor, and was awarded the meet.
This means that for two days the town
will be flooded with bright faced, mer-
curial. manly lads, and pretty and
vivacious young ladies, accompanied
by relatives, teachers and friends.
All of the principal schools of the
county will send teams to take part in
the various athletic contests. The

FIRE LIMITS

The council is nursing an ordintnce
which will soon be passed and become
law which designates fire limits for
the town of Oroville. A fire limit law
for regulating the kind and class of
buildings to be erected within pre-
scribed area Is rather an advanced
position for place the size of OrO-
vile to take, and yet when the prop
osition is looked square in the face
it Is wise precaution. OF course for
the present a fire limit district would
have to be restricted in its boundaries
and such a measure might have the
effect of stopping prospective building
where inflammable material was to be
used, but in the end it will prove to
be of great advantage to the town.
A person contemplating putting con-
siderable money in a substantial block
will hesitate when he knows that his
investment may be jeopardized by the
erection of frame structure upon
the adjoining lot. If he knows that
his next neighbor Is to build of brick,
stone or concrete he is more apt to
carry out his plans. Already the bus
mess part of Oroville iS packed too
closely with frame structures. II a
fire should break out among them, as
it surely will some day, the extent of
destruction would be limited only to
the consumable material within reach
of the flames. Oroville has been
lucky escaping fires in the past, but
this immunity Is not to continue for
ever. 1t is just as we'll to provide
safeguards so that the chances of
danger are not increased. Making
fire limits may interfere with the
rapid filling up of vacant places on
the business thoroughfare, but when
improvements are made they will be
of a nature that will reduce the
chances of fires to a minimum.

WINNING OUT

Five years ago J. Friis, a practical
butter maker, landed in Oroville, and
after some negotiations took over the
local creamery, situated on the south
bank of the Okanogan river, at the
upper bridge across that stream. 1t
is misnomer to say that he took over
creamery. AS a creamery it existed
only in name. There was building
and some machinery, but the building
from long idleness was milldewed
run down and had a vagabondish ap-
pearance, and what machinery there
was in place was rust eaten from ne
glect. In moment of unnatural excit-
ment, superinduced by the roseate yet
misleading representations Of a rep
resentative of a manufacturing es-
tablishment that turns out creamery
machinery, number of residents OF
town and valley Clipped in and pur-
chased the implements and fixtures
necessary to stock a butter making
plant, and built shelter for the same
AS a creamery it was such only in
name. No butter was ever produced
or II 1t was in very small quantities
and for very brief period. Then
there was long season of suspended
animation. The investors had an ele-
phant on their hands, and were keen
to slough the animal on on the first
conner.
When things were in this dolorous
situation Mr.. Friis, looking for a To-
cation to establish a creamery, YET
with little capital, heard of the idle
OrOville creamery, and came here tC
look over the situation. He was in.
duced to take the plant off the hands
of the syndicate. Probably he would
have done much better had he dodget
the offer and gone elsewhere, but ht
took hold, and being hopeful, fient
for work and careful in expenditure
stuck to the job. 1t can be safely sale
that no other man could have made
the creamery a go under the dis
couraging conditions. There were
few dairy cows in this vicinity, and al

A MARVEL AND A MORAL

With the accumulation Of years man
naturally loses his capacity for ac-
complishment, at least some men do.
Occasionally one meets an old fellow
who is almost as physically fit as in
his palmiest days, case of perpetual
youth so far as standing up to the
scratch at hard work. Oroville has
an example of muscular phenomena

familiarly known as dad" Smith, who

POSTPONED

Those who were preparing to ripple
off glad haw haws at the minstro
show tonight will have to abide il
patience another week. Owing to the
fact that the theater dates were filled
for the week the Orpheum could not
be had for this evening, and post
ponement was taken until next Friday
evening, May 1. The entertainment
will lose none Of it's richness on ac-
count of a few days postponement. It
is only another week of anticipation.
and in this instance realization will
be better than anticipation, which Is
not always the case in the matter of
expected pleasure.

(. Cause Of Explosion Unknown.
No information as to what caused the

lieved it was due to gases.
Thomas Quigley, superintendent OF the

Early last night two trains filled with
expert mine workers, doctors nurses and
officials of railways arrived. and the work
of rescue was begun in a systematic way.
The experts found, jumbled in a chaotic
mass. horses, timbers. wagons and min
ing paraphernalia, indicating the force Of
the explosion.
Fire broke out soon after the explosion,
but was extinguished. Gas fumes made it
impossible for the men to work enectlve-

DR.. ANNA SHAW WOULD
OMIT THE WORD .'0BEY'
Believes It to Be Essentially Inn
moral When Used in Mar
riage Ceremony.
SAYS Affection, Not Financial or So
cial Standards Should
Govern Unions.


Here is what DR.. Anna Howard Shaw
really believes about marriage:
1.-The word obey in the marriage cere'
mony is essentially immoral
THE giving away of women in mar
riage is antiquated.
Each marriage ceremony should be
adapted to the occasion and to those TAX
ing part in it.
Most marriages of today are unworthy
because they are based on financial OF
social Standards
his is a summary of the reply of DR..
Anna Howard Shaw to her critics who
have been getting widespread publicity
during the last week. Her true views
about marriage she thus expresses:
Denies She Said It. ...
from Philadelphia that l stated that the
marriage ceremony had outiiyed its use

ion is absolutely without foundation.
Il had no such interview with any re-
porter: nor did ] express my views on
the subject of marriage to any re
porter since my return from Europe
until after these CARRIED statements
appeared in public.

ton of leaving the word obey out OF
the marriage ceremony was under dis
cussion. / did make the statement that
there were many features of the pres
ent church marriage ceremony when
should be obliterated. and mentioned
the word obey which l considered to
be essentially immoral, because for
any adult human being to pledge for

II also spoke Of the part in which
the woman is given away as being
antiquated, and belonging to the time
when the woman was not recognized
as distinct human entity, but as be-
longing to the male members Of the
family.
Holds Marriage Sacred.
These two points in the marriage
ceremony I think are out Of place at
the present time. and so stated. But SO
far from stating that a marriage cere-
mony was out of place, my whole ideal
of marriage is so high that feel these
changes should be made. because I
a thing to have incorporated in it any
thing which is unworthy or which does
not belong to the thought of our age.
II did state that | have no set cere-
mOny lOr all couples Wn0m l marry De-
cause l feel that marriage is an in
dividual and personal affair, and that
each marriage is personal affair and
that each ceremony should be adapted
to the occasion and to those who take
part in it.
IN fact my ideal of marriage liz SO
much higher than the ideal which the
critics hold that I think it is too sacred
a subject, and the relation too sacred
a relation to be entered into lightly or
without due consideration. And for that
reason l think that many of the mar
riages today are wholly unworthy be-
cause they are based on financial or So
cial or some other standards rather
than on the standard Of affection,
which is the only foundation upon
which a true marriage should rest
