The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1915-06-25

vacation is a happy event that the
print is always looking forward to as
pleasant that may occur in
the dim future.
1t looks something like business at
this station three days in the week
when five trains pull out in the morn
ings, a passenger and freight east, a
passenger and freight south, and a
mixed train west That would indi-
cate that Oroville is somewhat OF a
railroad center, and it will be more so
as the years trail along.
VIM. c. Carpenter, one of tire pioneer
residents of Conconully, has been a visit
or in Oroville for week. Mr.. Carpenter
went to Conconully about the time that
town was first settled shifting residence
from the old mining camp Of Ruby yet in
all those years this is the first visit to
OroviIle. He was both surprised and
pleased with what we have here in the
shape of d town, and may elect to locate
here or hereabouts.
"A big $50 gallon gasoline tank with
all modern attachments was planted
in front of the Orovilie Commercial
store Friday last, under the supervis
ion of Plumber Sammy Sanderson,
which is to supply motor cars in need
of fuel. With feed tanks on each cor
ner Of that street, and the garage only
a few feet away, it is not likely that
there will ever be a gasoline famine
in this town.
Ivan Jacobson, who has been con-
nected with the Oroville creamery for
long time, has severed his connec-
ton with that institution. Mr.. Jacob
son is a clean, steady, Industrious
young man, and he has made a great
many friends in this community dur
ing his residence here who will regret
should arise, and wish him the very
best of good fortune wherever he may
locate.
What this town needs just now more
than anything else is neat, comfort
able, modern cottages for rental. The
demand is going to be even greater
than at the present time as work on
the irrigation system progresses, and
as people come in for the purpose of
spending the winter to give their chill
dren the advantage of our excellent
school facilities. Those with means TO
spare should get busy and supply the
demand.
IN speaking of transfer of the Okla
hogan telephone exchange to the Pa
cific Telephone & Telegraph company
the Okanogan Independent says: "A
new metallic circuit line will be built
to Oroville from Okanogan, the wires
to be hung on the poles of the Great
Northern railway. This will give a
complete metallic circuit from Pateros
to Oroyille, the gap between Okanogan
and Pateros having been built two or
three years ago"
There is no longer any ifs and ands
about the Oroville public school hav-
ing an accredited high school. In a
dispatch from Olympia to the daily
press last week, giving a list of the
newly accredited high schools in the
state, Oroville headed the list. Resi-
dents in the north part of the county
having children they desire to put
through high school course should
make arrangements to send them to
the Oroyille school next school year.
1t may not be generally known but Jack
Finley, bar keep who has resided in
Oroville for the past two years, was de-
f.I
upon charge filed with the department
of immigration that he was an undesir-
able alien, living on the earnings of a
fallen woman TO what extent he was
guilty there is a difference of opinion
but the immigration officers evidently dug
up enough evidence to make the charge
stick. The probabilities are that Jack
will have an opportunity to serve his
country in the trenches in Flanders or
Turkey, job he was not hankering for
BY an oversight mention was not
made last week through the columns
OF the Gezette of the band dance bill
ed to come off last Friday night in the
Orpheum, and for that reason some
may have missed that joyful event
However, most dance lovers knew if
was coming and consequently there
was a large attendance and everybody
had very pleasant evening. But
that is what people draw whenever the
band is behind a public dance. The
public expects a good time on such
occasions, and is never disappointed.
E. p. Wheeler and his son, Arthur E.
Wheeler, came in last Thursday even
ing from Princeton where they had
been for some weeks doing the annual
work on some mining
claims owned by the elder Wheeler.
