WIZ exert themselves to a greater d.

extracted from the dizzy round, and it
is pleasure that the average human is
&it,r at any price. In Oroville, the
lance is frequent and furious, furious
il the matter of violent exercise. II is
a'ncst weekly diversion, especially
during the fall, winter and spring
months. On the whole, it is an inno-
cent diversion, and for one, we have
never had any conscientious scruples
against the dance. The only reason we
are not today of thUso who "caper
nimbly to the pleasings of Lutte" is
that the weight of years has thrown
our feet out of commission. The desire
is there every time music strikes up,
but the ability to perform is lacking.
This homily is only prelude to re-
marking that there are dances and
dances. The gay multitude swarm to
dances in Oroville, and in the past
there has been many notable gather
ipgs of the kind. remarkable in point
OF attendance and the amount of pleas
ure in circulation. Yet of them all
there probably never has been such a
successful dance, in the matter of
crowd and general satisfaction on the
part of the participants, as that given
on st. Patrick's day evening, last Fri
day, for the benefit and under the
management of the local band. This So
cial affair was in the nature of a mas
querade. and the whole country side
as well as the bulk of the town popu-
lation, gathered there as active par
ticipants in the grotesque gathering
on the floor, or as lockers on at the

The above picture is front view of
the new county court house, recently
completed and occupied at Ckanogan
and the thanks of this office is due to
the Okanogan Independent for the
privilege of it's use. 1t is not what the
craft would call a first class cut, but
1t is sufficiently distinct to give the
reader an idea what the new building
in which the county officials are stor-
ed away, looks like. This court house,
as public building, would not take
the grand prize for architectural beau
ty. The lines are not so graceful, nor
striking nor attractive as to call forth
bursts of enthusiastic praise when the
eye rests for the first time upon it's
outlines. Finished in a concrete or
plaster exterior it is a cold, dull, Sc
we're, uninviting looking structure, no
doubt in proper form as to the style
selected but better taste could have
been exercised in making the select
ion of style, which would have added
beauty without detracting from the
utility. 1t is different, and because,
probably, it is different, accounts for
the decision of those whose duty is
was to select a design. Or again, the
style may have been chosen because it
gave greater exposure of construc-
tural surface than could be provided
under any other design presented for
consideration for the amount of money
that could be diverted to that object.
These remarks are not intended as
knock. Heaven forbid. 1t is merely a
plain statement of an impression form
ed on the occasion of first inspecting
the premises. The court house is so
far superior to anything the county
The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1916-03-24

has ever heretofore been able 10 boast
of in the way of public building that
if it were ten times less attra ctivc it
would be palace in comparison with
the shell and shack that for so many
Years did duty as a court house. The
ruilding may strike tEhers much more
t"yorably, and it is not so bad after
II when you once give it the look over
inside and out. The chief fault tear the
majority will find with the structure,
is its size, )r lack of size. Even now
that the officers are fairly installed in
tie various looms set aside for the
various departments the occupants
md themselves crowded. The building
Is hardly adequate for the business of
today, and The coutny will Far out
arow it by The morrow That is part'c-
ularly unfortunate.
This new court house is of the Span
ish mission architecture, which means
straight lines with little ornauenta-
ton, a square tower in the center with
an impression of solidity, diminutive
jogs taking no particular form or
shape along the roof, tilling top, with
a general ensemble presenting an air
of the sleepy southland. There is one
thing about its construction that is
creditable, and that is the county re-
ceived full value for the money eX-
pended. There was no graft, and the
contractor lived so fairly up to his
estimate that report has it he went
broke on the job. There is nothing
gained haggling over style, because
that resolves itself only to matter of
taste. To some the building may be a
thing of beauty. Okanogan county has
received the full worth of the money

FLORICULTURAL SOCIETY.

To the Editor
AS we are to have a fair sometime
this fall would like to suggest that
Horticultural society be organized in
this town as early as possible. Such a
society would be of great benefit to all
lovers of flowers in several ways, such
as the exchange of views in regard to
the variety of flowers best adapted to
our climate, also as to the mode of
cultivation and propagation of the
same, and as to the best method of
preparing the soil and the kinds of fer
tilizer most suitable for such varieties.
After several years experimenting with
flowers | have found that a great many
are not adapted to this climate, also
that some kinds will bloom profusely
If given the proper care and protec-
tion in winter, which otherwise are
complete failures. Now as for roses,
there are a great many beautiful roses
which produce a profusion of bloom
for short time only, which takes up
the ground that another rose which
blooms from spring until winter SHOWS
set in, might occupy OF the latter vari-
ETY. a careful selection will furnish a
continual mass of bloom throughout
the whole season. | would like to sug-
gest here that any one intending to
plant out roses, or almost any other
kind of flowers, should use an abund-
ance of barn yard manure, well rotted.
Cow manure is the very best for roses,
dahlias, peonies, gladiolas and tube
roses, and if some coal ashes is added
it will be found that it enhances the
color of the blooms. AS there will be
prizes offered at the forthcoming fair
now is the time to make preparations
for the flower garden.

devoted to the purpose in what, to all
outward and visible appearances
looks like a substantial court house.
To the town of Okanogan the new
court house is conspicuous and
handsome addition. Built on high
ground and overlooking the business
section, the river and valley, grounds
that can easily and will be beautified,
it is about the first object, and an i'm
pressionable object that strikes the eye
of the traveller approaching Okanogan
from the north or south. 1t may be a
case of distance lends enchantment
TO the view,' for seeing the huge pile,
huge, as compared to other buildings,
and massive tower looming over all
surrounding objects creates most
favorable impression. 1t is a slightly
location this citadel of justice occu-
pies, and the Okanoganites would lack
loyalty to home if they did not rejoice
in its possession and look upon it as
the chief feature of their town, a
feature that has value not only as a
public edifice but as strong factor in
attracting to that place hundreds of
people who would not otherwise make
piigrimages to the town. Grouped upon
the west bank of the Okanogan river,
with the narrow valley rising rapidly
into the foothills, with the residence
section washing gradually to he west
ward and upward from the central
marts of trade, Okanogan presents a
pretty picture as one comes within
view of the place, and that picture is
enhanced and intensified under the
glamor of a radient sunshine with the
solid outlines of the new court house
silhoutted against the sky line.

w. w. Parry of Nelson, was in town
Tuesday. Mr.. Parry is one of the
early settlers of the valley. A few
years ago and for years Mr.. Parry was
the chief mogul of the old settlement
of Tonasket, a short distance south
of the present town of Tonasket. He
had store. postoffice, a livery barn,
a hotel saloon and ferry at that
point, and between the combination he
was the busiest man in the Okanogan
valley. The Parry ferry was on the old
stage road between LoOmis and Re-
public. over which passengers and
mail were carried until the railroad
was built into Oroville. and that was
some time ago, when you come to
think about it. The Parry ferry crossed
more teams and people than any ferry
on the Okanogan river. That was the
days before there were any bridges
across the stream from the Columbia
river to Osoyoos lake, except one at
Oro, that was not as yet large enough
to even annex the second syllable of
willie" Today the old settlement of
Tonasket exists only as memory.

There were so many elegant CO.'S
tunes and well sustained characters at
the masquerade that the committee
appointed to select those most worthy
of prizes found their task a difficult
one After naming the four to whom
prizes were to be awarded, the best
dressed lady and gentleman and the
best sustained characters represented
by lady and gentleman, the commit
tee were empower to make four honor
able mentions, and could have named
a dozen. After careful consideration of
all claims for honorary mention. the
committee selected Mrs. Erwin, whose
costume was made up of school pen
nants, and Mrs. f. F.. Parson, who rep
resented irrigation among the ladies',
and ]. c. Stevens, as a Hindoo and
VIM Sampere. as tramp A No. 1,
among the gentlemen.

on the floor. Mr. and Mrs. Kerr repre-
sented Italian organ grinders, and
diminutive Lyle, as a monkey, played
pranks at the end of leading string
and passed a cup for contributions. 1t
was far and away the best COTTON up
group that has ever been seen at a
masquerade in this county.
The receipts for the evening were
naturally heavy, and the money will
go far toward meeting the cost of a
complete new uniform that the band
has already placed an order for.

DO NOT MISS 1T.

The big thing that is going to be
pulled off tonight under the auspices
of the Commercial Club, combining a
high class entertainment with a first
class dance to follow, should drag out
every citizen of the place. Those who
have conscientious qualms against
dancing need not remain after the pro-
gram, but they cannot afford to miss
that feature, for those who are to take
part are proficient in their several
roles, and it will be a treat that the
people of this place rarely have an op-
portunity to enjoy. The first number
will be called promptly at 80 so be
on time Admittance will be 80 cents to
the entertainment, with further tax
OF 75 cents for those who wish to
linger and take part in the dance. Just
to let the public know the good things
in store for the patrons the following
program is published:

GET SOME OF THEM.

If your daughters don't want them
Get them for your sons.
One penny, two penny,
Hot cross buns.
So goes the nursery rhyme, so dear
to childhood, and that is what the la
dies of Trinity Guild exclaim as they
invite the public to invest in samples
of hot cross buns which will be on
sale in the lobby of the Hotel de Grubb
this Friday afternoon. The buns are to
be built by artists of long experience
in the manufacture of toothsome dain-
ties from the ingredients that enter
into the staff of life. Stroll around to
the mart this p. m. and get some.

ORIOLE TRIO is COMING

The Oriole Trio, which will be at
the Amazon theatre, Friday, Novem-
Der 3, under the auspices of the
high school lecture course, may well
be called the artists trio" When
Miss Becker presents her whistling
program, along with her magnetic
and winning personality, the audi
ence will "sit up and take notice."
She enters into the spirit of her
selections with keenness and I'M
derstanding belonging only to real
artists in this kind of a program.
Miss Hardness wildly portrays the
characters her readings call for, and
in all of her recitals she has car
ried her audience with her every
instant. From her part of the pro
gram her auditors may confidently
expect an uplift and inspiration as
well as entertainment.
Miss Boyd is a favorite. Her
charm of appearance, as we'll as
her splendid art in song, will make
you wish you had brought your
friend along. Her soprano is charm
ing, and along with the ensemble
work the trio will do, much is ex-
pected from this little company of
artists.
Miss Agnes Woodward, the well
known Los Angeles musician, with
studio also in Chicago, writes us
that she knows both Miss Becker
and Miss Boyd in their work, and
says there will be no better little
company on the road than the ORR
ole Trio.
Those who have purchased season
tickets should remember to have
them reserved for the second number
at Simonds' Drug store. Single adj
mission will be so cents.

How Catarrh is Contracted

Mothers are sometimes so thought
less as to neglect the colds which
their children contract. The inflama-
ton Of the mucus membrane, at first
acute, becomes chronic and the child
has chronic catarrh, a disease that
is seldom cured and that may prove
life's burden. Many persons who
have this loathsome disease will re-

at the time it was contracted. A
little forethought, a bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy judiciously
used, and all this trouble might have
been avoided. Obtainable every
