The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1918-11-15

Thanksgiving day comes of the 28th
Of this month, and this country sure
has something substantial for which
to offer up thanks this year. II the
influenza is only at an end by that
time there will be another reason for
people to offer up devoute thanks.
There is another month and a half
to make good your War Saving Stamp
pledges. This is one Of the most at
tractive investments ever offered to
people Of small means. This district
should make good its full quota. In
order to do so there will have to be
some lively buying during the next
few weeks.
Word was received here Wednes-
day from the county health officer that
the schools could open Monday, but
upon the return of DR.. Lewis, the local
health officer, from trip to Prince
ton he was so impressed by the un-
fortunate conditions so near Oroville
that he suggested that schools be not
opened for another week. II there
is no change in tho local condition
the ban against public meetings will
be raised and school will open Mon
day, November 25.
Although the war is over 1t Is not
expected that the soldier boys across
| the seas will be home for several
months. 1t will be necessary to re-
tain a large force in Europe for a
long time until conditions settle
down to normal, and that will be slow
work. 1t is possible that the first con-
tingents sent over will be the first
to be discharged, in which case the
Sunset division, in which there are
many Pacific coast residents, will be
among the first to return.
Those who have received the regu-
lation labels for sending Christmas
packages to the soldier boys in France
cannot only secure the legal package
from Mrs. c. c. Hedger, but that lady
will give all necessary information as
to how to mail the packages. Under
arrangements made by the war de-
Ipartment no Christmas package will
be taken in the mail unless it bears
1.-THE soldiers label and passes through
the hands of the Red Cross. Packages
car be sent up to the goth of the
month, but those who expect to mail
packages should do so before that
date.
The influenza conditions on the
Princeton extension of the Great
Northern are deplorable according to
the reports that reach this place. The
malady seems to prevail in its most
malignant form. and the residents OF
the various stations along the line are
almost in panic, or at least are
very much worried over the spread
and fatality Of the disease. We have
been informed that fifteen people hat
died at Princeton within five days W

July First May See
Auto Stocks Exhausted

Daily developments serve to con-
firm our earlier predictions that this
year Will witness an automobile
shortage more acute than any the
industry has experienced within the
last several years." says L. II. Hager-
lng' local distributor for the Hudson
car.
From the present indications it
seems certain that by July 1 all
stocks OF the most popular cars will
have been exhausted and that from
that date on dealers and buyers will
nave to depend upon limited pro-
ducttons to meet their wants.
Because of war conditions a cur
tallment was made in the produc-
tion schedules of every manufactur-
er in the industry. No maker had
Planned TO produce as many cars this
year as were built last year. But now
even those greatly reduced schedules
have been so interrupted by one in
nuence or another that it will be i'm
possible TO make up what has been
lost.
-Four working days were taken
out in January because of the fuel
holidays. No factories are to op-
crate Mondays during February or
March. That is equivalent to the
loss OF half a month. But 1t is not
the only serious influence which is
halting production.
THE most serious condition from
which there seems to be no escape is
that resulting from freight embar-
goes. Emba4goes are placed on ship
ments without notice and for indefi-
mite periods. A dealer may feel that
II he gives his factory instructions to
& F,,N 4
date that his wants will be taken
care of. But before the date of
shipment, an embargo may make it
impossible. Whole sections involv-
ing as much territory as two or three
states in a group have been emhar-
coed against automobile shipments
for weeks at a time.
