CHAPTER XIX.
The Story Begins.

In the little stone courthouse on that
Sabbath morning n hundred voices
were lifted in the stirring music OF
Glardinl's triumphal hymn. The peo-
pie of the countryside had gathered to
give thanks to God for the victory over
their savage foes. The vigor OF the
chant swelled in a stern strength when
was made beautiful by the rough voices
of the pioneers. In the little room the
hymn echoed with the majesty Of
cathedral chant:
Come, thou Almighty King,
Help us thy name to sing,
Help me to praise!
Father! all glorious
Ger all victorious,
Come and reign over us,
Ancient of days!
David felt himself thrill In every
nerve; his wife's hand trembled In his

felt the mighty glory of life and love.

A DELIGHTFUL LECTURE.

Prof. Frank o. Kreager, a member OF
the faculty of Pullman college, deliv-
cred his lecture on Community Build
Ing" at the Orpheum, Monday evening,
before small but very appreciative
audience. 1t is to be regretted that ev-
cry resident of the town and surround
ing country could not have been pres
ent and heard Prof. Kreager, and felt
the influence of his inspiring words.
The gentleman is a fluent talker, and
as he has given the subject much study
and investigation he carries to every
community he visits a message, the
tenor of which if followed would
surely work to that community's well
fare. A charming vein of humor runs
through the current of his remarks
which adds to the pleasure of the lee
ture. Prof. Kreager urges team work
as the one great essential in commu-
nifty building and the best means of se-
curing the greatest efficiency in any
movement for the common good. The
lecture was most delightful treat to
those present, and we trust will bear
fruit in stronger united effort in the
upbuilding of Oroville.

SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT.

OF course everybody who can get out
will attend the entertainment to he
given this evening in the Orpheum by
the pupils Of the high school. Indeed
no one can afford to miss this great
annual treat. It has become a custom
of the school to present an annual play
on the eve of vacation, and the annual
play Is always drawing card, both be-
cause young people we all know, take
part, and because those young people
always put up a classy brand Of ama-
teur theatricals. This year, the tickling
farce "A Tangled Webb" is billed as
the chief feature of the big event. The
play is one that will draw upon the
resibilities of the audience. and copse-
quently prove highly enjoyable. Thoss
who are to take part have carefully
studied both lines and situations, and
the performance will be up to anything
OF ike kind heretofore attempted by
tho school, and that Is bold promise
considering the excellence of former
annual productions Of similar kind
given by the scholars of the local high
school.

been attending college for the past two
years, to California, where he will en-
ter the officers training camp.

morning Prof. Kreager spoke to the
seniors on Choosing a Vocation"
Last week the seniors received their
for commencement
exercises, and they are real classy
ones, too.

OROVILLE TO CELEBRATE.

At the meeting of the Commercial
Club last Tuesday evening 1t was de-
cided to hold 4th of July celebration
this year, as the town held off from
celebrating year ago, and commit
Itee was appointed to solicit subscrip-
| ltiCns and formulate a program. Con-
ltributions were more liberal and more
similar occasion. Owing to the fact
that the country is in state of war
that appeals have gone forth from
those high in authority to conserve ev-
|ery resource, and that number of
residents In the place have members of
their family in q service where danger
lis constant menace, and hence have
no heart for public demonstrations Of
such character. a sentiment develop
led against any extravagant expenditure
lof money for momentary pleasure. 1t
was not sentiment against celebrat-
patriot, where q manifestation Of 10y
atty would prove Of great Importance
just at the present time. but feelini
that If celebration Is to take place
the expenditures should be curtailed
and some of the sum raised applied to
objects Of permanency. In order to
settle the question a meeting Of busi-
mess men, not any too well attended,
was held at the library building Tues
day afternoon, and after considerable
discussion it was then and there decid
ed that the celebration be carried out,
making one of the features a public
flag raising that should be permanent
fixture, and devoting some of the funds
contributed to improvements of the
band stand and swimming grounds.
When the final decision was reached
all division of sentiment was eliminat-
led. the crowd feeling that majority
should rule and only in team work can
|anything be accomplished. The Ga
zette can promise the people Of the
town and country sane 4th of July
celebration covering the 4th and 5th,
with a number of attractions that will
entertain and amuse.
