The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1916-02-18

episode that was published last week,
IT, which an account was given of his
being on the road 10 days with load
OF hogs headed for the Seattle market,
and finally switched to Spokane, he
lost nothing on the venture, as the
Great Northern did the fair thing,
paying for the feed and standing good
for the difference in the price between
the two markets. Which goes to show
that ''heartless corporation" is not
always so heartless as the loud
mouthed demagogue insists.
We are not venturing the prediction
that spring is here, but the weather
has the ear marks of spring, and as 1t
IL getting around about that time of
the year it is felt possible to say that
the backbone of winter has received
terrible wrench, if 1t is not wholly
dislocated. We are leaving an opening
to take to cover If something not at
present expected should happen to
occur.
No one has been able to predict, this
winter, what the next day would bring
forth in the way of weather. Two
warm, sunny days last week had the
hall marks of spring, but those balmy
days were Immediately followed by
more freeze. One thing is certain, win
ter cannot hold on much longer in the
regular order of things, as March is
near at hand, and while March is tickle
1t generally introduces spring.
Geo. Bartell has fitted up the store
room adjoining the Orpheum on the
north. and part of that building, as
a display room for the Studebaker
automobile, for which he has the
county agency. A large glass front has
been put in, giving excellent light, and
the interior of the room Is neatly ar
ranged. The prettiest thing In it how
ever. Is the new model car that has
attracted so much attention on the
streets.
w. B. Sexson is arranging to get
back into the drug business, which
he followed for number of years in
Oroville before selling out to J. F.
Samson, at the time he left for the
east to study medicine. Mr.. Sexson
will occupy his old quarters on Main
street. He will not deal exclusively in
drugs, but will also carry line of sta
tionery and notions. Mr.. Sexson has
host of friends in Oroville and vicinity
who will wish him we'll and welcome
him back in business.
An interesting article on community
from the pen of Thos. N.
O'Neill, who handles the subject in an
manner, is published In an
other column. 1t Is we'll worth careful
reading, not only on account Of its
pleasing style, but because it touches
upon an interesting topic that would
do everybody good to know more about
and further put the suggestions into
practice. This was read before recent
meeting of farmers and made a strong
on all present.
J. F. Samson has closed a lease for
the building now occupied by Revie
Frank, on Main street, and will prob
ably be settled in his new quarters
with the old reliable Oroville Phar-
macy by the first of April, and possibly
sooner. The large store room so favor
ably situated, will give Mr. Samson q
better opportunity to display his
large stock, which is one of the fullest
lines of drugs in the county. With this
new move the drug business Of Oro-
Vile is switched around quite pro-
A. George Wehe, formerly resident
Of this county, is now chief deputy
Of the sheriff's office of Franklin coun-
ty. In renting his subscription, which
he does with promptness every year,
Mr.. Wehe says: Il am interested in the
attitude that the people take in the irri-
cation project and commend you for
the stand you are taking in the matter.
You have the best land in the country,
and a climate that cannot be beaten.
This combination with little elbow
grease, will make garden spot up
there, unsurpassed"
Considerable local interest is being
shown in the Adult Bible class of the
Methodist Sunday school. Mr.. p. M.
Snider was chosen teacher at the re-
cent election of officers and teachers.
During the class hour much latitude
is given in the friendly discussion of
the social and religious lessons. Every
adult is invited to attend and spend an
hour in study and social intercourse
You will be made welcome, regardless
of your church affiliations. The class
meets every Sunday morning at 10
o'clock in the church.
An esteemed subscriber who has
been prompt remitter for the Gazette
and before the Gazette the old LOOMS
Prospector, remarked in sending in his
last payment that comes the very week
the time expires every year: 81 take
great pleasure in again sending you
the inclosed check for another years
l have no other sub
scription that pay with greater pleas
ure, or that gives me greater returns
for the money" That is the kind of
that incites greater ef-
fort on the part OF a publisher.
