grated to the Oroville country, where

The performance given by the Eek
hardt company, in the Orpheum We'd
nesday evening, was one of the best in
the professional line ever seen in this
place. The singing and musical num-
bers were really far above the ordin-
airy. The company deserved a much
| larger audience than was present as
| it is seldom that a troupe of it's merit
visits town of the size of Oroville.
| Those who were at the entertain
ment last Friday evening wondered
where all the people could have come
from. The Orpheum was crowded as
it was never crowded before, and
every one present got the full worth
CT their money. If our moving picture
shows could draw few such mobs
the proprietors would be starting
banks in order to take care of theil
money.

| The Nelson and Chesaw papers car
ry the rumor that the Great Northern
contemplated putting on three trains
week between Oroville and Curlew

| If true it would not be much of joke,
either. However, word from sources
near the fountain head is to the eff
