ton on September 6. 7, 8. 9 and 10. bott
day and night.
The bill provides for an outlay of mon
ey that would appall a more timid man
agement, but pro6ting by the. encourg'
ing returns of the past two years. the
directors have greatly added to the ex
penditures for this most popular form o.
entertainment.
This outlay was partly necessitated
from the fact that the fair also will be
held at nights this year and the directors
determined upon giving The thousands o.
working people of Wilmington who are
unable to attend during the day an oppor
tunity Of seeing pelaware's greatest show
without the loss of any time, and yet pro
vide them with show that would dc
credit to the great vaudeville theatre.
Aside from ten big vaudeville acts or

KEEPING UP ENTHUSIASM

There was another large and en-
| thusiastic meeting of the Commercial
Club last Thursday evening. 1t would
warm the cookies of the heart OF
any man who has an interest in the
future of Oroville to be present at
such meetings as have so far been
held by the new Commercial Club.
The atmosphere of good fellowship
that prevails; the expression of views
| pro and con upon every subject in
troduced for discussion; the evident
earnestness of those present in the
mission and accomplishment of the
Club; the spirit of unity that has man
ifested itself; the evident desire of
everybody to help any proposition that
| i9 proposed is the most encouraging
sign that the Club is in existence for
active work and for making it a strong
factor in furthering every movement
that gives the slightest promise of
betterng local conditions. The proof
OF the interest taken is in the fact
that the session did not adjourn until
midnight, and at that hour few if any
had left the hall.
The subjects takeu up for discus
sion were irrigation, good roads and
the proposed new hospital. Ground
plans were laid that are going to aid
in bringing about each and all of these
very desirable objects. The sentiment
expressed upon the question of ir-
rigation showed that the people of the
town present were prepared to make
any sacrifice in order to see the pro-
ject carried out, or help in any way
in its consummation. Steps were
taken to secure some of the state ap-
preparation for the Improvement of
roads in the north part Of the county.
The new hospital plans were present
ed concisely and forcefxlly by the
president of the club, and the project
will receive every encouragement
from the citizens.
The Commercial Club is a gather
ing place and forum where every resi-
dent is qualified to meet and take part
Every citizen not only of the town
but of the surrounding country is in
vited to become member. The scope
Of the usefulness of the club is not
confined to the town, but embraces the
adjacent country, and t ere is to be
nc discrimination in the exercise of
its influence for the general good.
Several residents outside of the town
were present, took part and became
members. All others are invited to
dc likewise The next regular meet
ing is to be held On the first Thurs
day evening in March, and should the
president find it necessary to call a
special meeting general notice will be
issued as to the date. Get into the
band wagon and help on with the
worthy work

A GREAT SOCIAL SUCCESS

OF all the functions that have mark
ed the social side of life in Oroville
in past years it is doubtful if in any
single instance can it be remembered
when a larger number OF participants
took part, or where more genuine
pleasure was in circulation, than at
the st. Valentines whist party given
in Odd Fellows hall, Tuesday evening,
under the management of the Oroville
Women's Civic League. The crowd
was made up almost wholly of the
yet the few of more mature years who
were fortunate in being present
caught the spirit of the occasion and
were as young as the youngest. An
element of comradship, a genial bon
homie, prevailed that made for one of
the most harmouiously delightful
evenings that those present have ever
participated in in this place.
The hall was profusely and tastily
decorated with evergreens, streamers
and color effects, with hearts and
cupids. indicative of the date COM
memorated, conspicuously in evidence.
There were sixteen tables filled and a
number did not take part in the
games. Mr. Getzel and Mr.. Gregg were
tied for the first prize, Mr.. Getzel
winning bV cutting the cards Mrs
Covert and Miss Goodwin were tied
for the lady's prize, it eventually fall
ing to Miss Goodwin.
Coffee and sandwiches were served
al midnight, after which the young
people danced for an hour or two to
the notes of phonograph. The re-
ceipts of the evening added a neat sum
to the bank account of the League.

GOOD ROADS MEETING

Everybody may not know it, but
there is a good roads association in
this locality known as the Similka-
meen and Okanogan Valley Good
Roads association that has been in ex-
istence for two years, and as an Or
ganized body has succeeded in secur-
ing some recognition from the coun-
ty authorities. 1t is made up of ranch
ers living adjacent to the town, and
the membership take much interest
in the association, working in COM
bination to secure better roads.
The third annual meeting of the
Similkameen and Okanogan Valley
Good Roads association was held in
the town hall, Orcville, recently at
which e. Riste was chosen as presi
dent and e. Truax secretary and treas
urer. The following three naems were
agreed upon to be presented to the
county commissioners from which to
riot: Philip Schlief, Hugh Riste and
Fl. H. Granger. The principal topic
of discussion, naturally, was roads
and the points taken up and consider
&c were first building and continuing
roads on straight line as far as
practicable; reducing grades to a
minimum; particular attention to the
best means applicable for drainage.
Various changes were agreed upon
on the main valley road running south
from Oroville on the west side of the
river. 1t was the expressed sense of
the meeting that more results could
be accomplished if people generally
would take more interest in the matter
OF permanent roads attend road meet
ings, giving their views and opinions,
and get in touch with those living
along highway needing improvement
in order to ascertsm Just what the
farmer desires in the wey of improve
ment. 1t was the general opinion
that it would be better policy to put
all the money available directly into
the improvement of roads than to
spend it on new surveys.

SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT

The pupils of the public school are
making elaborate arrangements and
preparations for an entertainment to
be given in the Orpheum next Friday
evening, February 2S. The nature of
the entertainment will be a two-act
comedy entitled, "A Box of Monkeys
and there will be as much fun for the
audience as is supposed to be con-
tanned in the proyerbial box of monks.
That the comedy viii be well staged,
and the performance of high order
for amateurs goes without further
promise. The high school pupils have
given entertainments in the past, and
in every instance they have surprised
the public by the eXcellency of the
same.
The chief object of this performance
is to raise funds to meet outstanding
obligations of the athletic association.
When the football season closed the
boys were very much in the hole oW-
ing to the schedule that called for so
many games away from homeland,
by-the-way, they did not play the baby
act over it, as Okanogan did in the
matter of the basl ct ball schedule
The association is anxious to pay out
and the public entertainment is about
the only way they have for raising
funds. For that reason, if for nc
other the hall next Friday evening
should be packed to limit capacity.

MINERAL EXHIBIT

The mining congress that opens al
Spokane Monday is going to be largely
attended by mel froIu all parts of the
coast interested in mining. 1t will be
one of the very best opportunities that
has been presented FOR a long time to
place ore samples where they will at
tract attention among people whose
attention it is we'll worth while to at
tract to any district where mineral is
an important resource. The members
Of the local mining association have
collected specimens from various
properties in this neighborhood, and
have voted funds to pay the freight to
Spokane, thus by concentrated action
accomplishing what could hardly have
been accomplished by individual eff.
fort. The indications at this time are
that the district adjacent to Oroville
will have very creditable display at
Spokane, and one that can hardly fail
to attract favorable attention.
There is plenty of ore in this coun-
ty from which creditable exhibits can
be obtained. In the past this resource
has been neglected when it has come
to making displays of the products of
the country, owing largely to indif-
ference on the part of claim owners
IL is fortunate that there is an Or
ganization sufficiently interested in
mining to take the trouble to collect
a representative and comprehensive
exhibit, for it is not Ut all impossible
that the samples sent from here will
have the effect of arousing interest in
a section that has been so long ne
elected among investors and operators.
From all appearances, so far as de-
velopment has gone on many prop
critics, the showings of ore in place
are of nature to invite inveStiga-
ton. Failures an6 disappointments
i'll mining in this county have worked
Il great injury to the mining industry,
and weakened confidence on the out
side, but these failures are largely
due to poor judgment and mismanage-
ment and not to any lack of mineral.
If the exhibit at Spokane should be
followed by personal investigation on
the part of successful and experience
ed mining men, thei the expense and
trouble of making a collection and
getting it to Spokane will be repaid
many fold, as it is felt certain thai
thorough investigation will be follow
ed by investment and operation on a
larger scale than has heretofore been
attempted in the Okanogan.
