PUBLIC HEARING ON JITNEY LAW
 IN NEAR FUTURE

Alderman Cornell, Democratic leader of the Board of Aldermen, last even ing brought up the matter of a pub- lie hearing regarding the ordinance submitted by the ordinance commit tee concerning the re-routing of the Jitneys on the Barnum avenue State street line and on the Stratford ave nue-Ash Creek line.
 When the ordinance came up for Consideration Alderman Cornell stat ed that while he was not opposed to such an ordinance he thought thai the public should be given chance to be heard at a public meeting on the matter.
 Alderman Primrose, chairman of the l ordnance committee, took exception to the request of Alderman Cornell and explained that the ordinance was absolutely necessary. He said the or dinance committee would be pleased to go over the matter with the entire board,
 After MT. Primrose finished, Alder man Lewis of Black Rock staged a comeback for not being reappointed to the Fire Committee of the Com mon Council, when he said I've should go slow in this matter, we are not depriving an individual but are depriving the public of their rights to enjoy the service afforded by the jitneys. The people of the Black Rock district are put out a. great dea by the way the jitneys are routed and it is their opinion that they have the right to choose between the jitney and the trolley and not have to walk block or two to take a jitney."
 Alderman Whitney rang in on the tail end of the scramble with a mo- ton to have public hearing on the matter.
 The matter of a public hearing al an early date was referred to the or dinance committee. Whether the ses' sion will be held at the next meeting of the Common Council or before tha' time is up to the Ordinance commit tee.

British Palestine Headquarters

In spite ofs many difficulties the British troops have forced the pas sage of the Jordan, and occupied Els Salt, 25 miles from the river bank, on the anniversary of the first battle of Gaza. General Allenby's army marches from one success to an- other, and this latest of the series of brilliant operations is one of the finest tributes to the moral efficiency of his troops.
 In ordinary circumstances the task of bridging the Jordan during its winter current would be one of con- siderable magnitude, but the General had to deal with abnormally adverse conditions. The March rainfall in Jerusalem and on the plains has been exceptionally heavy, and torrents have been pouring into the river on the north.
 Even when the river had fallen some feet the muddy water from the hills was in such volume that it did not lose it's freshness until pushed back the grey brine of the Dead Sea a couple of miles from the Jordan's mouth, and the broad chocolate band of water from the upper reaches pre- sented a remarkable color contrast before it succumbed to the overpow- ering weight of the salt laden sea- Swimmers Fail.
 When the moon had gone down ir the early hours of Friday morning London troops made the attempt to cross in two places. It was intended that the main crossing should be al Ghoraniyeh, east of Jericho, where the Turks had destroyed the bridge soon after we occupied the town. Ghoraniyeh is in the middle of one of the many bends of the Jordan When three of the strongest swim mers among the Londoners tried tc breast the current which tumble6 kpast them they found it too strong. A punt was no sooner put into the
 stream than it was torn from the hands of the Engineers launching it It was obvious that the force o1 the stream would make it impossible to throw a bridge across at Ghorani | yeh that night, and extremely doubt | full whether sufficient numbers o. | infantry could be ferried over ever If a taut line was made fast to the banks. The General therefore decid
 ed to alter his plans, and to make

the Jordan's mouth straight up the left bank of the river This little party, jocuIarly called the "Societe Anonyme Maritime" was rowed across the Dead Sea in the dark and landed to the east of the Jordan. They had an Arab guide with them, but he was lost in the darkness. How ever, the young officer pushed on, made his way towards a ford, anad he attacked a small enemy post and took some prisoners, but finding that between him and the ford was a much superior force of the enemy, he hid his party till he could eff feet communication with the body at Hajlah. This he did early on Sat urday morning.
 More infantry and cavalry got across during the day, and on Sum day strong attacks were made on the enemy positions. There has been fighting at several places, but our troops were irresistible,
 Near Sunset Nimrim some Lewis gunners and riflemen crept towards a battery shelIing our troops, killed some gunners and drivers, put the remander to flight, and captured four guns.
 Our Airmen Busy
 As the enemy, including some Ger mans, were retiring up thes Els Salt road with transport our airmen drop ped nearly three-quarters of a ton of bombs on them, making a number of direct hits. Then they came low with their machine guns and scat tered the Turks. The foothills in fantry captured about 40 Germans including officers.
 On Sunday night the weather broke. In this respect the luck has beeen against us. Rain fell heavily, and the Jericho road became a mass of slippery mud, with the result that only pack transport could move.
 But the troops triumphed over all adverse conditions. With cavalry on both Hanks they made their way through the foothills into the noun tains, over 5000 feet above the level of the Jordan, beating down all op- position. In the evening the outposts were only 1,50O yards from Els Salt.
 The hills were then covered with a thick, damp mist, and we halted till dawn today. Some of us were reminded of the morning a year ago, when a thick sea fog denied us vic tory at Gaza. However, the elements were not permitted to interfere with progress today, and as the sun was over the mountains of Moab our splendid boys captured Els Salt and the surrounding Heights, thus inflict- ing a heavy blow on the Turks and their German allies.

Says it is suicide to cut corns and tells how they lift
 right out.

You simply say to the drug store man, Give me a quarter of an ounce of freezone." This will cost very little but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn from one's feet.
 A few drops applied directly upon a tender, aching corn should relieve the soreness instantly, and soon the entire corn. root and all, can be lifted out with the fingers without pain.
 This new way to rid ones feet of corns was introduced by a Cincinnati man, who says that while freezone is sticky it dries in moment, and seems to simply shrivel up the corn without .iniaming or even irritating the sur rounding tissue or skin.

BASKET BALL GAME TONIGHT.

There will be another warm session
of basket ball at the high school gym

and local high school teams come into
collision. 1t is going to be pea
warmer, as the two teams are we'll

up the winning streak and the Repub-
lie boys will be here to break the
jinks. Republic always has presented
lively crew of players on the several
occasions that team from that town
have appeared on the local floor, and
the combination this year is equal in
playing ability to any the school has
turned out in the past. And don't you
forget that Oroville has team this
year that compares favorably with any
team the town has boasted of in past
years, and that is intimating that the
kids are some players. The people of
Oroville should show their apprecia-

the same time help them out financial

and in their school work. We owe that
much to the school. Let's pay the debt.

A HARD JOLT.

A. w. Mitchell suffered jolt and a
scorching early Sunday evening that
will not be erased from his memory
for some time to come. Mr.. Mitchell
works at the power plant, at the falls
Of the Similkameen. HIS room is heated
by an electric stove. Mr.. Mitchell un-
derstands that one must exercise some
care when handling the elements with
the kicking power of electricity, but
like all those who become familiar
with dangerous occupations, Mr..
Mitchell did not exercise his accustom-
ed prudence Sunday evening, and in
changing fuse plug with pair of
pincers his thumb came contact with
the lurking force, creating a circuit
and he realized instantly that someth-
ing had happened. Mr.. Mitchell was
rudely knocked off his pins and his
right hand severely burned. His face
also came in for scorching. DR.. Lew
is received hurry up call and flew
out to the plant, wheer he did all in his
power to elevate the pain of the burns
The shock and partial burning did not
knock Mr.. Mitchell out as he was
around in few hours and is now
steadily improving, thankful that the
injuries received were no worse.

UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT.

Clyde Hicks, popular young resi-
dent of Oroville, has taken over the
Orpheum theater and will have the di-
rection of the moving picture feature
in the future. He will also book all
travelling entertainments and the pub
lie will deal with him when it comes
to the use of the hall for any perpose.
Personally, Mr.. Hicks is most like
able young gentleman, he is hustler,
accommodating and courteous, and un-
der his supervision the Orpheum is
sure to become a popular resort. The
hall is an excellent one, indeed the
only public room of any size in town,
is very conveniently located, and Mr..
Hicks is going to strive to make it an
attractive place for the public to fore
gather. He is now in correspondence
with number of film makers,
with the object of securing the best
line of moving pictures obtainable,
feeling that the best is none to good
for the people of Oroville. The public
will find Mr.. Hicks pleasant gentle
man, and when his plans are worked
out as he contemplates they will fur
ther find him giving entertainments in
the way of moving pictures we'll worth
seeing.

TO DO HIS BIT.

Jack Downs the young Englishman
whose skill with the brush has kept
him busy decorating interiors and ex-
teriors in Oroville and the surround
ing country for several years, is soon
to enter the service. Under arrange
ments made by the two countries Eng
land, Canada, France and Italy can re-
cruit aliens, or natives of those coun-
tries who have taken out only their
first papers, in the United States, and
Mr.. Downs is preparing to meet the
summons when it comes. But he in
tended to get action on the common
enemy even had not the privilege been
granted to Canada to enlist English
men and Canadians in this country, for
he had decided to enter the American
army this winter. In case he is accept
ed, Mrs. Downs will return to England,
where all her relatives live. Both Mr..
and Mrs. Downs have suffered the loss
of near and dear relatives in the war.
For that matter, there are few families
in France or England that have not
been called upon to mourn the loss of
loved ones.
