Florence Francisco, of Havillah,
about 12 years of age, was brought to
the Oroville hospital some two weeks
ago so low that there was little hopes
of her recoverey. She was operated on
by DR.. Lewis, and with the excellent
nursing given her at the hospital the
child improved so rapidly that she was
removed to her home Wednesday, al
most entirely recovered.

SUDDEN DEATH.

saturday afternoon about 5 o'clocl,
George j. Steil, who has conducted q
confectionery, tobacco and notion store
ana pool room on the south side of the
track Tor the past three years. was
found dead in the back of the store
building. Deputy Sheriff Ed. Burden
or Nelson, went to the store. accom-
panied by DR.. H. M. Jaggers, for the
purpose of purchasing some tobacco,
Discovering that the front door was
locked, and learning that the store
had not been open all day, Mr.. Burden
broke open the rear door and was
shocked to find Mr.. Steil lying on his
bed dead. He at once notified Justice
OF the Peace Jas. Furguson, and the
judge, Marshal Doty and Dr. E. E.
Elmer went to the store to examine the
premises and ascertain the cause of
death. From the position of the body
it was plainly evident that death had
suddenly struck the unfortunate man

his trousers and apparently sat down
on the side of the bed to take off his
shoes. The shoe and stocking of the
left foot had been removed and the
right shoe unlaced when the end sud-
denly came. He had fallen backward
upon the bed and died without a strug-
gle. DR.. Elmer pronounced it case of
heart failure. The county officials de-
cided it was unnecessary to hold an
inquest.
Mr.. Steil had been up until early
Saturday morning, as several patrons
of the place had been playing cards
with him until late hour Judge Fer
guson took charge of the premises, and
on instruction by wire from brother
in Sheridan, Wyoming, the body was
embalmed by Undertaken Barnes and
shipped to Sheridan Wyoming, We'd
nesday morning.
Geo. j. Steil was born in Clinton,
Iowa, and was pioneer Of this upper
country, coming to the Okanogan val
ley in 1890. His first trip into the coun-
try was made from Spokane in COM
pany with H. NJ. Nahoney, who has
ever since remained here. They came
up to White Lake, B. c., to examine an
alleged coal mine for Felix Pugh, OF
|Spokane. From that time Mr.. Steil liv-
ed at various places on both sides OF
the boundary, prospecting, mining anc
conducting small stores. Some four
years ago he came to Oroville, and
after living at the hotels for NUMBER
of months, opened the notion store
and pool room which he conducted un-
til the day of his death
Mr.. Steil was a victim of that terri
Bile disease locomotor ataxia, and was
a cripple for years His lower limos
were affected so severely that he cou'o
move around only with the greateS'
difficulty. The beginning of his affllc-
tion dates back some fourteen years
One summer day he walked from fa'f-
view to the Ben Anderson place, on
the Similkameen river, on his way to
the Golden Zone mine, looking Tor
work When he reached the river there
was no means of crossing and he very
foolshly, in his heated condition. SWAN
tbe stream. He was chilled by the colo
water and from that time the ailmeh'
erew upon him. He was about 40 years
of age and single.
Although a great sufferer and in an
almost helpless condition, George stei'
was man of genial and kindly nature
omong his associates, and his sudden
death is regretted and deplored ps

REPORT OF CIVIC LEAGUE.

The ladies' of the Oroville Women's s
ri,ic League wish to call the atten-
,,on of the public especially to this
.,.r's report, as we have endeavored
"a give a full and accurate account of
III money and donations entrusted to
,,r care, and we sincerely hope the
management and proceedings will
moot the approval of all interested in
our work.
We wish to express our gratitude
otbe public in general for its help and
.o.operation during the past year The
,rccess of our organization is due al
wost entirely to the interest and CO.
oOoratiye spirit manifested by the cit
i,oos Of this community, but the sue
esss of an organization, as an organi-
yation. is due almost entirely to the
interest and pride manifested by its
members. The object of an Organiza
inn must be worthy one, and no
uorthy member will let her personal
feelings or prejudice interfere with
Or stand in the way of willing, earnest
ondeayor to accomplish the object in
view. 1t goes without saying that the
members of the Oroville Women's
Civic League belong to that worthy
class
They have never once, in the past
year found a task too hard, or failed
TO stand together as unit on all mat
ters of Importance pertaining to the
best welfare Of the League. We chal-
lenge any woman's club or organiza
ton. in the county, to show years
record of more work accomplished,
with less dissension than we have to
our credit. Too much cannot be said
in praise of the faithful, diligent men,
bers of our Club. But if our member
ship included every woman in town,
and each one proved fully as faithful
and competent, we could not hope to
succeed without the quiet, substantial
support and cooperation Of our male
population. Why? Because they control
the pocket book. And we are at loss
for words to express our sincere
thanks to the business men, CONNER
cal Club and other substantial citi-
izens OF our town for their kindness
and generosity during the past year. 1t
is they who have made our success
possible. There is hardly citizen in
town who has not in some way help
ed to make our work easier and sue
cess more assured. We want to take
this means of thanking each and ev-
cry citizen who has donated a dollar
or days work. Yes, or even a kind
word or boost.
These are the reasons that you have
a right to feel a personal interest In
our work and our new library build
ing, which was built for the pleasure
and benefit of all those who wish to
take advantage of it. 1t is surely graf
flying to know that at the end of three
years We find our members more en-
thusiastic and evincing more inter-
est and pride in their work than ever
before We have every reason to be-
lieve that we have so managed the af-
fairs of our organization as to COM
mand the confidence and respect of
every citizen in our town.
Be booster and join the League.
Yours for a better Oroville,
OLIVE K. SAMSON,
President Orovile Women's CIVIC
League.

Looking over the muddy streets dur
ing the wet weather Of last week it
struck us that the town did not get as
good job of grading and macadamiz-
ing as it was entitled to for the price
paid. But that is the unfortunate ex-
perience of every town that starts on
public improvements. \

DENY Increase
IN COAL RATE
Interstate Commerce Com
mission Reaches
Decision
REVERT TO
THE OLD SCHEDULE

The Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion has denied carriers permission
20 increase freight rates ON bitumin-
Gus coal from mines in Pennsylvania,
Maryland and West Virginia 10 BAL
! timore, Wilmington and Philadelphia
when intended for transshipmont TO
points inside the capes of the Della
ware and Chesapeake bays. The COM
mission directed that present rates
prevail, II finding that carriers have
failed to meet the burden OF proof
which the statute places upon them
to show that the proposed increased
rates are just and reasonable"
The carriers sought to increase the
inside the capes rate seven cents a
ton
Az present the rates on coal de-
livered over the piers at Philadelphia.
Wilmington or Baltimore Tor trans
shipment to points inside the capes
are 20 cents per gross ton less than
the rates on coal for track delivery
70 Industry or coal yards located IN
these cities. The rates to Pi'ladel-
phia on coal for transshipment to
points outside the capes are 35 cents
less. and TO Baltimore A. cents less,
than the rates for track delivery at
these points. The differential of 25
cents between the track delivery rates
has been maintained since April /,
1903. Prior to that date as far back
as April ], 1906, the differential was
30 cents. Before that IL vacillat-
ed at between 20 and 30 cents, but
due to the practice OF rebnting then
prevalent the commission says. lit
tie reliance can be placed upon fiuc-
tuations shown in the published rate
Generally. the carriers justified the
proposed increase by the assertion
that both inside the capes and out
side rates are forced by water COM
petition In this connection the COM
mission, in its decision says: IF rail
carriers be permitted 10 establish
rates In connection with water car
riers upon basis which will equal
ize shippers at various points along
the waterway, they viii absorb the
benefit which should accrue TO the
public of the lower cost of water
transportation.
Chairman Harlan dissented from
the majority in this case, holding that
the carriers justified the increase in
rates proposed.

pany, the Baltimore and Ohio and
others reaching the three cities were
represented by their chief counsel i'm
