4 BRIEF THAW.

The long expected January thaw az
rived last Saturday, but it was one of
the briefest January thaws this coun-
try has ever experienced. Soft weather
was on in earnest while it lasted.
Early Saturday morning a regular Old
fashioned chinook with a vigorous
punch behind it, blew in, reducing the
snow and ice to liquid with astonish-
ing rapidity. Puddles, ponds and lakes
formed everywhere a depression eX-
listed and the cutters in town We're
overtaXed in carrying off the flood
This was especially the case Sunday
morning when a number of cellars on
Main street were threatened with in
undation. Creeks became torrents and
dry gulches creeks, and it looked Us
though the backbone of the winter was
dislocated. About four o'clock Sunday
afternoon. in the midst of the flood
menace, the wind suddenly veered to
the north and the mercury commenced
sliding down with surprising speed,
Within ten minutes scums of ice were
forming on the water and before Mon
day morning everything was frozen up
as tight as a drum Winter has taken
fresh grip and the birds of spring
again seem remote.

NEED OF LIVE COMMERCIAL CLUB.

1t is coming to be generally recog-
nized that we'll organized working
body, asuch as a commercial club,
standing between the people and the
local government, and the local and
outside business world is absolutely
necessary to the progress and advance
ment of the community.
Local officials usually work without
pay, or secure such small compeilsa-
ton that they cannot afford to do more
than what the law requires, hence the
need of an organization to aid in carry
ing oct the various enterprises which
make for the betterment OF the local
|ity.
In this day of keen competition be-
tween communities, preparedness and
initiative are necessary to success,
and the community which lies dor
mant need not expect to gain in civic
betterment, or enjoy its share of
prosperity. 1t is therefore necessary
that d well organized body of earnest
workers band themselves together to
oa'ry}out plans for civic, commercial
and Industrial advancement OF our
community.
We should have faith in ou" own
community. You cannot expect olt-
siders to buy in your community un-
less you have faith in it and will speak
a word in its favor. Shame on the poor
l1nocker. No man eau take hold OF the
work of helping boost for his town
and community without becoming a
better citizen, broader minded man
ana more progressive business man.

W orth boosting for it is not worth liv-
ing in. You had bette" move out. We
arc better off without you. Would vcu
not rather be listed by your fellow cit
izeDs as booster than as a knocker9 ,
If you are not working with the other
business men to make your town bet
ter place in which to live you are to a
certain extent community parasite.
There are many tiiings that can be

b.. done single handed. in union there
is strength. The commercial clrh can

date set for the chicken dinner TO be
served by the lady teachers and girls
of the High School for the benefit OF
the High School Athletic association.
The menu will have as a foundation,
chicken, mashed potatoes, salid. apple
pie and coffee. The complete menu will
be announced next week. From past
experience the people of OrOville know
that anything in the "eats" line pre-
pared and served by the fair co-eds Of
the high school, means rare treat. AS
the cause is a worthy one and the
menu enticing, the efforts of the young
ladies should be literally rewarded.
The library building is the place. Sat-
urday evening. February 5, at o'clock
is the time. The girls will be on the Job.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

Saturday morning snow slide near
COrea, on the summit of the Cascades,
swept down on a stalled Great North
ern passenger train, wrecking several
cars, killing eight passengers and
injuring six others. This accident oc-
Cured near the scene of the Yelling
ton disaster several years ago, in
which 80 lives were lost when an ava
lanche buried passenger train. In
that part of the Cascade mountains
the Great Northern people have always
experienced great difficulty in keep
ing the track clear in winter, and it
has always been considered a danger
Gus route at this season of the year.
The track clings to the sides of pre-
cipitOus mountains, and in the winter
the danger of slides, owing to the ex-
tremely heavy snow fall, is ever pres
ent. Miles of snow sheds protect the
track, but the most substantial con-
crete structures sometimes give way
before the irrisistable rush of the ava
lanche. The accident Saturday was
shocking in the extreme, but 1t might
have been worse, as a number Of ira
elers had very narrow escapes. The
result of these repeated accidents On
the Cascade division will end in max
ing the road through Oroville the main
travelled transcontinental line when IT
is once finished and in operation to the
coast, which will probably be next
summer.

!, lstter fro.Ei Rich mud TO Or. Frank
in which it was stated that he would
consider withdrawing action against
the Bishop on payment Of $1,000 for
old St. Johns church, $1,000 for
friends Of sRichmond's who had aided
him and $4,000 to be absolutely
Richmond's.
1t was testified that DR.. Richmond
had constantly kept the Bishop in
fear of publicity and had worried him
so many ways that he finally died.
The death certificate was introduced
to show that one of the contributing
causes Of death had been worriment.
Thomas +. Gale, a former parish
Toner of Dr.. Richmond's, declared
that the rector had said that in the
death of Bishop Mackey-Smith and
Bishop Whitaker, God had removed
his two greatest enemies. In cross
examination, DR.. Richmond nearly
came to blows with Gale. Both had
to be warned by Chancellor Budd.
