CHAUTAUQUA ENTERTAINMENTS.

The series of Chautauqua entertain
ments that commence next Friday,
November 16 continuing through Sat-
urday and Sunday, afternoon and
evening of each day will present to the
people of Oroville and vicinity con-
tinuous amusement event such as this
upper country has never before exper-
fenced. Those who have attended Chau-
tauqua entertainments in other places,
and there are number of such in this
community, understand the exception
ally high order of these performances
and lectures and will not fail to attend
the performances next week. Aside
from such attractions as the Orioles,
the Cosmus Players and the Hawaiian
quintet, there will be instructive and
entertaining lectures by such celebri-
ties as DR.. A. D. Carpenter and ]. s..
Wallace, men who stand at the head OF
platform orators in the country. Our
people have never had an opportunity
to enjoy such high class and meri-
torious program and the Orpheum
should be crowded at every entertain
ment. The afternoon performances
should be especially attractive to the
farmers and their families, as this
gives them chance to see and hear
the best in the entertainment line
among professional performers.

REORGANIZED.

Reevie Frank returned home last
of fortnight at Waterville, the head
quarters of the Buick automobile
agency of which the Franks father
and son, are the head. Mr.. Frank was
called to Waterville through the Pen
tecost contretemps, which the less said
about the better. Mr.. Frank is not the
man to be connected with any one not
strictly up to present date business
requirements, and it did not take him
long to make a thorough reocganiza-
tion of the company, with Pentecost
eliminated. Fortunately the business
of the new firm will not be affected in
the slightest degree by the incident
that led up to the readjustment In
deed, the way the situation was met by
Mr.. Frank will strengthen the credit
and standing of the Franks and their
new colaborer in the automobile field
by convincing the public that the firm
is conducting business along thorough
lv honorable and clean business lines.
While in Waterville Mr.. Frank secured
as partner and local representative
Blair Craft, gentleman who has lived
long in Waterville, and has the conf
dence and respect of the people or
that community Under the new read
iustment it will be necessary for Mr..
Frank to spend considerable of his
time at Waterville. OF the new order
of things the Waterville Empire says;
"Mr. Frank of Oroville. and Blair
Craft. returned from Spokane Sunday.
Mr.. Craft has purchased the interest
of Fred Pentecost in the local Buick
company. which has the Buick agency
for Chelan. Douglas, Grant and Oka-
nogan counties. The business Is being
reorganized and will have new name
az soon as matters are adjusted. The
company has sold thirty-five Buick
cars in their territory since startlrS
in business here the middle of August
They expect to have new pui'''hs
mt up in the early spring. and be IN
shane to handle the business IN the
bie territory they serve"

express contempt with cynical smile

the fact that a paid department IS
highly perfected organization, means
and methods of handling fires having
been drilled into the men for years
and that they also have the advantage
of constant experience. And yet ho
paid department could have done more
affective work than did the local VOL

NEW RED CROSS SOCIETY.

The ladies living on Ellemeham
mountain have organized Red Cross
auxiliary and will do their bit to help
the boys at the front. An infinite num-
ber of articles are needed in the army
which the Red Cross alone can and
will provide, and every woman, old
and young, in town or country, can do
a noble work by lending assistance in
this hour of need. The boys at the front
are ready and willing to risk life and
limb in defense of our common coun-
try, and the least we can do at home
for them is to make their life in the
trenches, in the field and in the hos
pital as comfortable as possible. They
at the front are asked to give everything
for their country ,and We at home are
only asked to give moiety Of means
and labor. Are we to be any less patri-
otic than those sturdy young lads be-
hind the guns?

There are two things the soldier

the other the news that he longs for.

DEPARTURE OF A PIONEER.

s. II. Stanton left Saturday for the
sounth country and it is not at all i'm
probable that he has gone from his old
haunts forever. Mr. Stanton has been
a sufferer from asthma for long time
and goes from here to seek relief in
the mountains of southern Nevada or
Arizona, where the dry atmosphere Is
said to be a panacea for that ailment
Mr. Stanton is a real pioneer of nor
thern Okanogan county, having settled
in this part of the valley many years
ago when white men were few and -
between. He took up land just south
of the present town Of Oroville, and at
times engaged in both the saw mill
business and mining. He is man of
strong convictions and positive in ex-
pressing and backing those convic
tions. In the present crisis of the coun-
try he is intensely patriotic, and never
minces words in criticism of those in
this country who are against the gov
ernment. Mr.. Stanton has been a great
reader, and possessing phenomenal
memory there is hardly any subject
from the most obtuse science to the
political questions of the day that he
cannot discuss exhaustively and intel
ligently. He has taken part in the up
building of this part of the country,
that has grown from a wilderness to
we'll settled and well developed sec
ton of the state, since his first coming
here. A man of prodigious generosity, a
never failing geniality and sincere in
his loyalty to his friends, Tom Stanton
leaves no enemies behind him but
multitude of friends who trust that he
may be restored to perfect health and
some day in the future drift back to
the land that has known him for so
long a time
