The streets ere crowded with cars
and vehicles almost every day ana the
sidewalks we'll lined with pedestrians.
Every train brings new people to town.
The schools are crowded with new
faces. and the demand for houses is
far beyond the supply. Oroville is ex-
periencing a healthy expansion and
another year promises to double Its
population. At last the place is taxing
on that growth that has always been
assured from it's natural location.
Judge Ferguson states that he has
noticed automobiles travelling at night
without the rear red light burning
and occasionally cars without head
| lights. He serves notice that If any
automobile owner is arrested for neg
lecting to keep his lamps burning, ana
the case comes before him for adjudi-

about keeping lit up.

Loritz Johnson was in town Satur-
day from his place on Antwyne creek
1t was Mr.. Johnson's first visit to Oro-
vile in many months, and he was
greatly surprised at the many changes
that have taken place in the town since
last here. The new houses, graded
Istreets and concrete sidewalks gave
him the impression that he was in a
little city. And so he was, somewhat
little at present writing, but all cities
were small at one time, and Oroville
has a better show of becoming large
than some of the present big cities had
when they were the size of Oroville.
In a very short time the saloons will
be closed and what are those people
going to do, who voted for prohibition
to supply places of comfort and enter
tainment for those who have hereto
fore depended upon the saloons? The
saloon has been called the poor mans
club. There is no question but that
many gather in those places for
warmth and shelter on cold nights
The same people will be with us, now
what is to be done for them? They are
human, and some of them rough diam
onds. Provisions should be made fol
their care after the first of January.
