The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1917-04-27

estS the town Is DenOlden LOT tne Bllt
of land. There are four acres adjoining
owned by private interests, and If they
could be purchased the First National
bank of this place would donate eight
have the entire point on the lake. and
a park covering some 16 acres. 1t
would not be bad idea to make an
effort to purchase the four acres held
by non residents.
Are potatoes profitable crop in this
county? They certainly are, and es-
pecially at the present inflated prices.
Even with normal prices potatoes will
pay on account of the large yield to
the acre. Ole Johnson can bear testi-
mony to both the yield and the profit.
He harvested 1895 pounds from Il
single acre last fall and we have seen
the check he received for the crop and
that check read $44S05.
N. Barlow is another of our nu-
merous model subscribers, who seems
inclined to be agrieved if through lapse
OF memory he fails to get around to
the office exactly on the day his sub
scription expires and boosts it for an
other twelve months. But the Gazette
is fortunate in having quite a large
number of prompt paying subscribers,
and we are naturally proud of them
There is room for more. Come in, the
water fine.
Complaint is made at this office that
water from the flume on the west side
OF the valley is permitted to run down
Oh the county road, washing it in a
number of places, and where it does
not wash the water stands in pools,
making mud holes that smear up ev-
cry vehicle that passes through the
EIoist zone. This difficulty could be
remedied at little expense by putting
in clverts across the road to carry off
surplus water
This community is to have a treat
in THE Birth of Nation" 1t is sell
dom that film feature of this magni-
tude reaches town as small as Oro-
vile. We saw the production in Spo-
kane, and can say that it is one of the
most remarkable productions that
has ever been offered in the way OF
moving pictures. The prices of admit
lance are less than were charged in
the cities when the feature was first
introduced to the public.
Our old friend, Major ]. F. Cresson
Of Chesaw, has been subscriber tc
tht old Loomis Prospector and Orc.
Vile Gazette together for the past
twenty years and is one of the
promptest payers on the list. His time
runs out on the Goth of April, and there
is never Goth of April passes but thai
letter arrives, containing a remit
lance and cheering words of encour
agement. There is no doubt there il
a Paradise in the future, or at least {
great many of us think so, but Para
disc on earth for printer would bt
about a thousand of such subscribers
as Major Cresson.
Deputy United States Marshal FREQ
