CARD OF APPRECIATION

DR.. d. H. Lewis, who had charge
of the late Red Cross drive as chair
man, sends in the following card OF
thanks to those who so loyalty carried
out the drive to a successful issue,
giving their time as we'll as their
means to the cause:
l wish to take this means to ex-
press appreciation and to extend my
sincerest thanks for the noble work
done by the committees that l ap-
pointed for the second Red Cross re-
lief fund drive. These committees ac-
cepted their appointments cheerfully
and gladly, although they knew that
it means hard work and sacrifice.
How well they did their work Is told
by the results. Over $3.50 was raised
and of this nearly $500 was in cold
cash. This result was reached in the
first three days of the drive by straight
canvass. 1t shows that the American
people are in earnest, and it proves to
me that American propaganda, II
given chance, is far more effective
than that from the German press.
| wish to especially thank Mr.. s.
B. Starrett, jr., for the great amount
of help that he gave me- If 1t had not
been for his efforts | never could
have accomplished the above results.
The bankers of this country are the
one sthat are keeping up the public
confidence and imbuing us all with
the enthusiasm that it takes to spell
success.
The following men are the ones who
gave the Red Cross drive the push
that sent it over the top: DR.. J. F.
Masters, Chas. Powell, ST., DR.. e. E.
Elmer, Frank W. Taylor, DR.. F. S.
Beale, c. C. Hedger, w. L. Barnes.
S. C. Mitchell, Chas. S. Lewis, w. o.
Steele, ]. S. Henderson, c. B. Noyes,
]. NJ Adams, F. A. Block, w. E. Grant,
E. E. Parsons, Dell Hart, H. J.
Schwenne, Guy Fruit, Herbert Gregg,
Jason r. Erwin.

LETTER FROM r. GRIEGER

f. n. Grubb has recently received a
letter from R. Grieger, formerly of
this place, now living in South San
Francisco, where he moved from the
city proper, from which the following
items are taken:
Il have been twice at the point OF
passing the Great Divide in the last
a three days nose bleed, which near
ly fixed me. I came through nicely
and then. two weeks ago, I had an
other attack of rheumatism in both
feet, and am still confined to my
room, but am improving and think
am on the road to recovery. How
ever, | had a rather narrow escape
from passing in for good. I firmly
believe you would not know me,
have fallen off so much.
The Liberty bond sale was a grea
success, and very few escaped tn,
vigilance of the committees. Th
latest changes that are taking plac
are changing of German names. Th
| German Savings and Loan association
| with $60,000,000 deposits. has chang
ed the name to the California Saving
and Loan association. The German
| hospital also went out of existence
| Instead we have the Benjamin Frank
lin hospital. One of San Francisco
largest and best restaurants. 'Th
| HopBrau,' on the corner Of 4th an,

SHOCKING ACCIDENT

Howell M. Mason, living few miles
southeast of Oroville, met with a very
serious accident last Friday in q
runaway. The young man has nc
recollection as to how the accident
happened. He drove over to a home
stead with a load of posts, so we are
informed, and not returning home
! some member of the family went out
in search of him. He was found un-
conscious, while the wagon was some
distance away a total wreck The
young man was brought in to the Oro-
vile hospital for treatment Upon
examination Dr. Lewis found the jaw
broken in three places, and long
cash in the scalp extending from the
top of the head to the back of the
neck. The jaw was wired together
and the head wound sewed up, and
at last accounts the young man was
slowly improving. He is still unable
to talk and communicates by writing.
Mason. who is just 81 years old, was
the man who shot a neighbor named
Hart at a dance at Wauconda last
winter. 1t was at first suspicioned
that Mason had been assaulted by
Hart and his friends, but the evidence
where the boy was found was con-
vincing that he had been the victim of
a runaway.

monotony of inactivity all summer.
When war with Germany was declar-
ed Joe Joined his regiment, and is
now over there aiding in upholding
the honor OF the country. And while
such clean, likable young Americans
are cheerfully offering their lives that
we at home may live in safety from
the kaiser savage, it is the duty of
those at home to put a quick kibosh
on any disloyal man or element that
may in a remote degree contribute
toward their danger. Corporal Hash.
1t may be added here is a nephew of
D. N. Grubb. and the family, as we'll
as all who know him, are proud of
the soldier boy.

LETTER FROM TEXAS

Amos Bowerman has just received
letter from Frank Bowerman, who
joined the army from this place
GONE months ago and is now at Kelly
Fields, Texas, a member of the 668th
Aero squadron, from which the fol-
lowing extracts are taken:
The weather is getting warm down
here, in fact it seems to be warmer
here now than it ever gets in Wash
ington. But | suppose July and Au-
gust will be worse and ! hope we
will be out of here by that time.
However. no one knows where or
when one moves in the army.
There was a great flying exhibit
ton Saturday afternoon, and it cer-
tainly was a good one. At $3.50 the
ships started up one at a time until
there were over 100 in the air in the
form of a huge double S, the total
length some 80 miles. (The figures
are blurred as to the length of the
|procession). AS soon as the last
plane left the block the first one re-
turned to its starting point While
this was going on four planes in
charge of Ed. Stnson, brother of
Katherine Stnson, the woman who
made such remarkable flights in New
York, and who is one of the best
flyers in the state, together with Joe
Lever Mosier and Captain Blacker,
did very remarkable stunts. Lever
made several loops and then on his
back spiraled down nearly 1000 feet
and righted himself about 500 feet
from the ground. After this Rodman
Lou, the famous parachute jumper,
in a macine driven by Stinson, who is
the only man he will go up with,
jumped from the plane at heighth
of $500 feet, a feat that had never
been done before. 1t took three min
utes and 80 seconds to make the de-
scent, and Stinson spiraled around
him until 500 feet from the ground
Lou is an enlisted private in the A
S. C. f. AS a finish for the day Lever
and Monster went through a sham
battle in the air, showing wonderful
daring"

Market streets, adopted the name of
the Golden State restaurant The
large German house on Turk street
has been remodeled to the California
house. The only place of any import
ance still running on the old name is
the 'Heidelburg' restaurant, on Ellis
street, near Market. Among the 10000
foreign born Germans in San Fran
cisco were no less than about 80 with
the name Kaiser. Nearly all these
people have changed their names to
King. And now come along the He
brew with those flossy names of
Rosenheim, Rosenthal, Rosenblatt,
etc, most of whom have assumed
Irish names. However. this is not a
necessity. 1t is done by the people,
freely and willingly. By late paper

DEATH OF J. II. EDWARDS

Last week another pioneer of this
upper country in the person of Joseph
H. Edwards, passed away at the Oro-
Vile hospital after long illness. The
funeral took place from the M. E.
church last Friday afternoon. Rev.
U. M. Smothers officiating, and was
attended by many of the old timers
of this neighborhood.
Joseph H. Edwards was born De-
cember 8, 1852, at Brownsville, Ne
braska, and was 65 years, months
and 90 days of age at the time OF
death. He leaves an aged wife, Mrs.
Sarah Edwards, to mourn his loss.
Mr.. Edwards spent much of his life
in the west and years ago owned a
ranch on Palmer mountain. For the
past ten years, with the exception OF
brief absence, he lived in Oroville.
Mr.. Edwards was victim of progress
sive paralysis, and has been slowly
passing away for number OF years.
Nothing known to medical science
could be done to ward off the newt
able The ailment first appeared in
the fingers five or six years ago.
Slowly it crept over the hands and
those members became useless. From
the hands the disease extended to the
arms and body, the victim becoming
more helpless from mouth to month
until he became without power Of
movement. For some months he has
been confined in the hospital. Joe
Edwards was an honorable and up
right citizen, a good neighbor and
true friend When we first knew him
he was vigorous and Industrious, al
ways pleasant and genial, enjoying
the confidence and good will Of all
his neighbors.

HUTCHINSON'S PLATFORM

Hon. r. A. Hutchinson is out in a
card announcing his candidacy for
congress from the Fifth district on
the republican ticket, and below is the
platform upon which he is making
his race. 1t is evident that there will
be several candidates for congress on
the republican ticket before the pri-
maries, a condition that we for one,
deplore. 1t is not time for the in
lection of personal animosites into
a campaign where the people should
select some loyal citizen as a repre-
sentative in congress, regardless of
| his political complexion. The several
republican candidates should get to-
gether and settle on one of the num-
Der to make the run. This is espe-
cially desirable if Dill, tainted with
proGermanism, should be the demo-
cratic nominee
Spokane, Wash. May 25, 1918.
Frank M. Dallam, Oroville, Wash.
Dear Sir: The following are a few
of the reasons for my platform:
| will stand by the president to the
last man and the last dollar to win
the war He is the head of our ma
ton and the cause of liberty is in
his hands | worked and voted for
equal suffrage in our state legislature.
Women are home builders and they
vote to protect the home. | worked
and voted for prohibition in our leg
| islature and the effects of the law
prove that we made no mistake in
passing it. | worked and voted for
| the eight hour law for women and
tried to help the men with an eight
hour law.
] Labor saving machinery is a bless
ing if it puts comforts within the
reach of all and does not rob labor
of a chance to earn a living. The
surest way to make it a blessing is
to reduce the hours of labor of all
men and women so that there will
be employment for all Where it has
been tried, eight hours have proved
a success to both the employer and the
employe. So let us have a National
eight hour law that all may enjoy its
benefits.
! | am for the Government ownership
of railroads for the reason that wher
a railroad goes bankrupe it goes into
the hands of receiver and when the
government has pulled it out of the
hole, it goes back to the manipulators
lwho control it to again fleece thu
lpublic. If the government must rur
1.-THE railroads when bankrupt, let tn,
government (the people, run then
when they are prospering. The gov
lernment has done away with the larg
Ioverhead expenses of high salaried of
ficials, that were more ornamental
than useful, and by doing so can af
ford to pay the men that do the wor1
better wages for an eight hour day.
The above are not new ideas wit
me. The house and the senate jour
mails of the legislature of the State G
Washington will prove that I hav
worked along those lines in the legis
lature of our state ever since m
first election to that body in 1890 an
I will work for the same things in tn
Congress of the United States.
