Dear Doctor-In reply to yours OF

public meetings where they may come
in contact with children. 2-After dis
infection those who have had measles
can Immediately attend school, but all
those who have not had measles cannot
|attend school for period of at least
two weeks. 3--To my mind there Is no
conclusive evidence that measles may
not be carried by third person, al
though some excellent authorities

SHOPLIFTING.

Oroville is taking on metropolitan
airs. Saturday, a mild sensation was
created by a case of shOplifting, the
light fingered operators being appre-
hended in the act. On the day men,
toned, two women, residents of this
accompanied by two or
three children, entered the store of F..
V. Covert They looked over and priced
goods without making any extensive
purchases. From the uneasy actions OF
the women, and the fact that the chill
dren were handling about everything
within reach, Mrs Covert's suspicious
were aroused. Stepping from behind
the counter she noticed that the side
pocket of the coat worn by the female
she had been waiting on had an abnor-
NAL bulge. Mrs. Covert put her hand
in the pocket and drew it out full of
small packages of braid, or lace, SIM
liar in appearance to basket full or
the same article on the counter. At first
the woman tried to brazen 1t out by
Saving she had purchased the lace at
another store, but when it was COM
pared with that on the counter, had to
acknowledge that she had "swiped'
the loot. She was taken to the rear OF
the store and shaken down. where
numerous other small articles that had
been purloined came to light. 1t was
subsequently discovered that the pair
had raided the store of w. 0. Hamisch
y short time before their visit to the
Covert store, where they had accumu-
lated a large quantity of miscellaneous
goods. especially baby clothing, which
they had wrapped up in a shawl, max
ing quite a heavy bundle. AS the wom-
en- are quite we'll known. all goods
recovered. and they promised to sin no
more they were permitted to return To
their homes without prosecution.

The New Bank OF OrOyille Now Ready
FOR BUSINESS.

| The new Bank of Oroville was for
mally opened tor business Wednesday
Iafternoon, and that bank is now one
OF the active business ventures OF the
town, with every prospect OF becoming
la prominent and flourlsnlng financial
institution, a credit to the town and
monument To the enterprise or local
Presidents. In response to invitations
Itrom the otllclals large number OF
business ana professional men assem-
bled at the bank at 2 o'clock Wednes-

bank, called upon several OF those

Interesting address, giving incidents
in his long banking experience and
Timely and valuable advice to the Off
GERS and directors Of the new financial
establishment. Mayor Samson was
called upon, but responded only in
few words, declaring that he was not
sufficiently familiar with the subject
to venture any remarks, as about all
he knew about banking was the strug-
gle on his part to keep off the red. DR..
d. H. Lewis, president of the CONNER
cial club, spoke briefly in very happy
vein upon the Importance to the town
and country of the new banking house.
A. p. Murray, president Of the First
National bank, expressed the hope In
kindly and generous words that the
bank would grow apace and prove a
great success. He distinctly pointed
out that it was an independent ven
tnre, without connection with the
First National. This statement was
made to correct any impression that
the two banks were in any combine.
Ernst Riste said in substance that the
starting of new bank in Oroville by
home capital was an indication that
the people here have confidence in
their home town, and felt certain of its
future progress and prosperity. That
the movement would make a most ia
vorable impression among those living
at a distance, showing as it does that
the people of Oroville feel that the
town is on the eve of growth and de-
velopment. A spirit of good fellowship
the officials were congratu-
lated by all present for inaugurating
the new venture, and the Bank of Oro-
vile commenced doing business backed
by the best wishes of the entire COM

Personally Mr.. Bond is one of the
most genial and likeable members of
the ministry that has ever occupied a
pulpit in this town. His daily life
and his relations with his fellow men
has been an exemplification of the
Christian gentleman. From point of
ability he is fitted and mentally
equipped for larger field than Oro-
vile presents. He has many warm,
personal friends in this community
who trust that he may return. yet il he
elects to cast his lot elsewhere those
friends wish him all manner of good
fortune and success wherever he may
decide to locate.

Prof. Thos. Shaw the stock expert of
the Great Northern, addressed a small
|audience in the library building last
Friday afternoon. 1t was a most in
|structive talk and especially valuable
in its fund of information to the stock
owner 1t is to be regretted that more
farmers could not have been present,
for Prof Shaw is a most enter l.aing
talker, knows thoroughly all about cat
tie and has faculty of conveying that
information to his hearers in language
that can be understood. There is not
a cattle owner in the county who
would not have learned something to
his advantage could he have been pres

delivered by Prof Shaw during his

ON A BIG BATTLESHIP.

Otis j. Johnson of this place is now
sailing the seven seas, behind the
frowning guns of the superdread-
naught Denver. one of Uncle Sans
alert and formidable watchdogs of
war.
Otis, Who is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ole Johnson of Oroville, enlisted in
the United States marine corps at
Portland, Oregon recruiting station on
May %, 1916 and early in his chosen
career was given the opportunity to
serve aboard the big battleship,
AS the U. S. Denver goes cruising
over the seven seas. it is good to know
that a former Oroville boy stands on
her quarterback prepared to show to
the world, should the occasion arise,
THAT the American man behind the gun
is still the peer of them all.
