A PROMINENT VISITOR.

Theodore Ahrens, president of the
Standard Sanitary Manufacturing
company of Pittsburg, Pa, stopped
over in Orovile Tuesday night on his
way to the Lucky Knock antimony
mine, which is situated few miles
south east of Oroville. The Standard
Sanitary Manufacturing company is
one of the largest combinations of
capital in the United States, and has
been in the limelight for some time
as mark for prosecution as the
bath tub trust"
Reading the sensational reports as
to the strangle hold that this COM
inclined to look for hoofs and a spiked
tail attached to any official connected
with the institution. But one is pleas
antly disappointed when meeting up
with Mr.. Ahrens. He is very much of
a live, wide awake, normal human be-
ing, with genial personality that ap-
peals to all those with whom he comes
in contact. He came up from Califor-
MIA to see the Lucky Knock mine, as
the company he represents purchased
the property some months ago. The
company is using the output exclu-
sively in the manufacture of sanitary
articles it turns out. The mine is be-
ing worked steadily, and the product
shipped east for treatment. 1t is said
that the company is to put in a treat
ment plant at the mine. 1t is fortunate
for this locality that such a prominent
and solid financial organization has
control of this antimony property, as
that means that the mine will be
worked for an indefinite period and
every obligation created will be
promptly met.

A GREAT TRAVELLER.

Hon. Hans Lund, that cosmopolite
whose post office address is Kansas
City, but whose home is anywhere that
he hangs up his hat, was visitor in
Oroville, Saturday, meeting with a
hearty welcome from his many friends
in this community, who are always
delighted to greet him. Mr.. Lund is
very much of globe trotter and is
almost constantly on the wing, here
today, there tomorrow. His rambles
have taken him all over Europe, and
he is familiar with about every nook
and Granny in the United States. He
has just returned from trip to the
Hawaiian islands, where he spent
three weeks, basking in the sunshine
of that gem ofsthe- tropics. A keen OBJ
server and close student of human
nature Mr.. Lund has large store of
information accumulated during his
many voyages and his extended eXpe-
ditions to places of interest, and being
a charming conversationalist his visits
here are always a source of pleasure
to those who know him. He will re-
main in the county few weeks, and
then fit to the Atlantic coast, stopping
off to say hOwdy at his home town en-
route, to again cross the deep blue,
providing the vealous submarine has
discontinued taking toll of the inno-
cent merchant vessel.

ABREAST OF THE TIMES,

G. Schassberger, our enterprising
tailor, has installed new and modern
electric clothes presser. The appear
ance df the cap, or top, of this useful
piece pf mechanism turns the mind to
.1orttssy subjects, at first sight, asAit
looks very much like the lid to a small
casket, but that unpleasant impression
passes away when the presser is seen
in action. The presser is so convenient
and expeditions in it's operation that
pressing clothes becomes a pastime
instead of hard manual labor, and will
save the genial knight of the goose
vast amount of elbow friction. The
garment is placed upon press board,
the pressure of the foot brings the
board in contact with the casket-shap-
ed cap, turn of the wrist throws
spray of steam upon the cloth, and
with the batting of an eye the trick
is turned, the garment being more
thoroughly and evenly smoothed out
than could be accomplished by the old
method. The heat and pressure requir-
ed is supplied by electricity Mr.. Sch
assberger is an up-to-date merchant
tailor and is gradually equipping an
up-to-date tailoring establishment
that is a credit to the town, or any
town many times larger than Oroville

FIRE DEPARTMENT ORGANIZED.

At the last meeting of the CONNER
cial club A. E. McMahan was unani-
mously chosen as chief of the propos-
ed new fire department, and the selec
|tion was confirmed by Mayor Samson.
A meeting was held at the town hall
Wednesday evening for the purpose of
further Eperfecting an active organiza-
tiOn. Bylaws and membership pledges
were read and adopted. Those present
endorsed the selection of Mr.. McMa-
han as chief, and Louis Drummer was
elected as secretary-treasurer. Some
IS members signed for service, and
there is no doubt that every one of the
four companies necessary to man the
apparatus will be filed to the full
complement. 1t Is the first time that
the town has had real fire protection
Organization and after it is finally in
shape the department will be prepared
to act intelligently and effectively in
fighting fires AS there are two hose
carts, a chemical engine and hook and
ladder truck the department will make
quite a. respectable showing when in
service.
Those interested in forming a de-
partment were fortunate in selecting
Mr.. McMahan as it's head. He has had
experience as fireman and fire chief,
and will take personal interest in
working the department up to cred
liable state of efficiency He has al
|ready shown great activity in starting
la plan of organization, and his zeal
will never flag nor will he neglect his
duties. He is deeply interested in his
movement, not only as property
owner but because he feels the great
Necessity of thorough organization,
without which the means of protec-
|tion against fire is almost useless Mr..
McMahan desires all those who wish
to join the organization to call at his
jewellery store and sign up the articles
of agreement and be assigned to one
of the several companies.

TELEPHONE LINE.

In order to secure efficient and
prompt care of the many miles of
bitches and fumes that parallel the
OkanOgan river on both sides from
the boundary line to Tonasket, after
the system is turned over to the dis
trict and the ditch watchers have it in
charge, telephone line will have to
be constructed, with stations at con-
venient intervals. This line has already
been installed between the head gates
and town, and will be built along the
route of the water flow as speedily as
possible. The district is making resi-
dents in the valley an attractive offer,
and one if accepted and carried out,
would prove to be great con-
venience to many families. 1t proposes
that if the farmers and land owners
will deliver the poles where required
permission will be granted for the
stringing of local wire on the same
poles. The cost of wire and construc-
tion would be slight, and considering
the benefits to be derived from such a
service those interested should take
steps at once to accept the PROPOSE
ton

OFF FOR THE WILDS.

After visiting with his brother Har-
ry for several days Geo. Bowerman,
formerly a resident of Oroville, but
for several years living at Hedley,
left Tuesday for the Hudson Bay coun-
try on a prospecting trip to be absent
all summer. This new mining region
has just commenced to attract atten-
tion among mining men and investors.
Some enormous deposits of gold, sill
YER, copper and lead ores have been
discovered on the tributaries of the
Nelson and Churchill rivers, that emp
ties into Hudson bay. One of these
mines has recently been sold for three
led ownership for lesser sums. Burns
Bowerman, the youngest of the Bow
erman brothers, was fortunate in To-
eating claims on the extension of the
property sold for the largest sum
mentioned. Geo. BOwerman spent last
summer on the tributaries of the Nell
sen river, so he does not go in wholly
as stranger to the country He had
an exciting experience in canoeing
for hundreds of miles, and his entire
outing was full of action, even if he
did not succeed in locating a rich
claim. He is making an earlier start
this year, aiming to get into the min
ing district by means of dog teams
over the ice. MIR. Bowerman has had
many years experience as pros
pector along and on both sides of the
Canadian boundary, and goes to this
virgin field a seasoned veteran in the
mining game.

A LIVELY MEETING.

One of the most satisfactory busin-
ess meetings of the Commercial Club
that has been held for long time was
that of last Thursday evening, in the
library building There was large at
tendance of business men, and not only
was there much interest manifested in
the proceedings, but work was cut out
that will result in the accomplishment
of objects which the members of the
club desire to see carried out. A plan
was decided on by which the finance
committee will be enabled to raise
much needed funds, providing the busi-
ness men respond, and as they have
never failed in the past it is almost
certain that there will be no hanging
back in this instance. The ground
plans were laid for the organization
of "A fire department, one of the most
important actions that the club has
ever taken part in. Those present man
ifested their earnest desire to see an
organization perfected by responding
to call for volunteers almost to a
man. The proposed celebration at the
time of the opening of the of the irri-
cation system was favorably consider
ed, also the fall fair and several pro-
positions that are to benefit the COM
munity directly or indirectly. A spirit
of unity and earnestness was mani
Tested throughout the session, such a
spirit that, if continued will make the
Commercial Club a power for good in
the cOmmunity

DRUG STORE CHANGES HANDS.

Tuesday w. b. Sexson purchased
from e. J. Eide and took over the Oso-
yoos Pharmacy. For some time Mr.
SeXson has been planning to open a
drug store in his old stand, two doors
north of the bank and had the building
refitted for that purpose. Then nego-
tiations were started for taking over
Mr.. Eide's establishment, deal that
has been happily consummated. This
was a wise transfer from business
point of view, as the town is altogether
too small to support three drug stores.
Mr.. SeXson needs no introduction to
the public. He was in the drug busi-
nes sin Oroville for number of years
until he sold out and left for the east
to take course in medical college
some three years ago. Both himself
and wife are graduate pharmacists.
Mr. Eide started in business in Oro-
vile nearly a year ago, and by his
pleasant address and uniform courtesy
has made large number of friends
in this place. He has not as yet decided
what he will do in the future. He will
make visit to the coast, but expects
to return to OrOville. Those who know
him trust that he will elect to remain
q citizen of the town

A MARK OF CONFIDENCE.

E. E. Parsons, one of the members
|Of the board of school directors, in
forms the Gazette that the board Is SO
well satisfied with the excellent work
performed by the present staff of
teachers that they will all be retained
Il they desire to continue serving in
the positions they are now holding. If
any changes take place it will be the
voluntary wish of the teacher. The
present corps of teachers will in all
probability resume their present posi-
tions when school opens next fall,
with single exception, and in that
case the delinquent will not lose her
department through any action of the
board. Her resignation can be charged
up to Dan Cupid. The position thus
left vacant will be filled by Miss Dob
son who taught in Oroville during the
1914-15 term, and gave such excellent
satisfaction.
We wish to congratulate the board
upon their action in retaining the
present faculty. Under their faithful
and capable direction the Oroville
schools have made great progress dur
ing the past year. From inquiry 1t is
ascertained that the prevailing senti-
ment in the community is that this
has been one of the most successful
terms in the history of the local
schools and the record made by the
teachers has been highly satisfactory.
There has been a total absence of fric-
tiOn in the school. The able staff has
worked in harmony and no complaints
have been registered by parents, which
has been too often the case in the past.
Better discipline has prevailed and
the scholars have made marked pro-
gress in every department. The teach
ers as body have won the respect
and confidence of both the pupils and
the parents and it will be a satisfac-
tion and pleasure to know that the
schools will be under the management
