DR.. Elmer and Fred Hart secured the
highways and byways Monday and
raised sufficient by $1.00 contributions
to buy large flag to be raised on the
4th. The happy thought struck these
gentlemen that many who did not feel
able to donate large sum toward the
celebration would gladly give a small
amount toward flag, and they sought
contributions only among those who
had not already subscribed to the cele-
bration fund. The amount collected
will be sufficient to purchase hand
some and durable flag.

shoulders much Of the work for any
public doings in Oroville falls is Fred
Hart, and though he mildly protests

due largely to the efforts of Mr.. Hart
that the boys succeeded so we'll at
Wenatchee, and now he is working
with a praiseworthy zeal to make the
4th of July celebration success. Mr..
Hart has the winning way about him,
in combination with popularity, that
brings results, and those who know
him feel that when he takes hold of
anything of a public nature 1t will be
done right.
