spent some weeks in Oroville, Sun
dayed in town on his way home from
Nelson where he has been engaged
in surveying the government townsite,
a tract of land that has become cele-

that grew out of its location, and
which is still bone of contention.

Wednesday morning when Mr. Nc
Mahan came down to the store, he
was surprised to find large envelope
which had been showed under his front
door, and which contained four new
ten dollar bills, and with them this
letter:
E. A. McMahan,
Jeweler and Opitician.
Oroville.
About three weeks ago you lost 8
Elgin $3.50 watches, well here is the
. money for them and after trying them
for this length of time | find they are
equal to any watch we ever used for
| twice the money so keep the change.
| If this don't satisfy you let us know by
your next add in the Gazett and we
| will call and pay any price you ask
but we certainly will not give up the
watches.

rs. r. o." Sign Out at odson For Bur.
lesque Show, "The Charming Widows.
BY far the best burlesque show
which has been here this season was
THE Charming Widows" presented at
the Odeon Tuesday night before a
capacity house, with standing room at
"a premium. The best thing about the
show was the snap and vigor with
which the performance was carried
thru, the handsome costumes, and the
good looking chorus. Encouraged per-
haps by the enthusiastic audience the
comedians got to feeling somewhat too
risky towards the close and loosened
up, with the results that some Of the
jokes were suggestive and could have
been eliminated to advantage.
A runway from the stage back to
about the twelfth row on which the
chorus girls capered and made eyes at
the male portion OF the audience sit
ting directly beneath them, made a
tremendous hit, because it was some
thing different, even though not new.
Eddie Dale, as a German comedian,
was clever. and altho a greater part
Of his comedy was foolish, he got the
audience started, and together with
Sam Carlton and Jimmie Cooper
comedy ran riot turnout most of the
show. Helen Stanley was the soubrette
and sang several songs, of which "She
Goes Out Fishing" and Sprinkle Me
With Kisses made the biggest hits.
An Apache scene in the suburbs OF
Paris enacted in pantomime by Emil
August and Simone de Beryl, furnished
la "serio-co advertisement which
was bit too thrilling to be realistic.
The songs as whole were we'll sung
and the costumes of the chorus and
scenery were both new and elaborate.

WHEAT PRICES

Argentina Shipments and Dardanelles Bombardment
 Causes 5-Cent Drop.

Chicago, March 4.-Wheat prices rallied today, after a decline at the start. Development of strength re- suited from the fact that the sea- board had advanced bids on spot cash delivery and from the absence of any sign that rural offerings were likely to become more free.
 Heavy Argentine shipments led afterward to setback in wheat. The weakness was increased by news of fresh attacks on the forts at the Dardanelles and afterwards much more so by reports that large offers for war supplies, mostly arms and ammunition, had been canceled in the lst AS hous. The close was Hurried at IA to 7-S net decline.
