The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1919-04-25

With the zeal that marks the live
| members of the local Commercial club
several committees were out two days
this week soliciting subscriptions for
the new flour mill, meeting with such
success that the mill is a surety be-
yond preadventure.
Remember the boys who will never
| come back. They gave their all toward
saving the country from the iron heel
of the Hun. You cannot afford to shirk
your share in the cost of victory. You
are not called upon to give your life,
but only to loan a modicum of your
means to pay the price Of winning.
Moreover, the loan you make is a most
attractive investment, as it is safe as
it is possible for safety to be, and pays
a good interest. See that your name Is
on the roll of honor.
Harry Prince is and has long been
one of the regular shippers of one
thing and another from this station, he
being natural born trader and all is
grist that comes to his mill Monday he
shipped out car load of potatoes to
the Spokane market The latter part of
last week he purchased band of 105
sheep from a farmer near Bridesville.
AS we understand the deal Harry sold
the sheep to the same man some weeks
ago and subsequently bought them
back, catching the dollars both coming
and going.
Throw your eye into Dell Harris Of
flee window and take look at the ar
chitect's design of the proposed new
auditorium. Built upon the lines of
that picture Oroville would have one
Of the handsomest auditoriums in the
state outside of the largest cities. AZ
ter all has been said this beautiful and
much needed structure may not mater
iaiize this year. but those who suggest
ed the enterprise are working hard
and may yet succeed in securing the
necessary funds to make the building
possible.
Mention was made last week that
w. j. Frank had sold his choice orch
ard tract east of town to Mr.. Cunning,
of Spokane. At that time it was sup
posed that the deal had been closed,
as Mr.. Cunning telephoned that the
money was on the way, but as the
money was not received, and the sup
position being that the deal was off
the property was sold to Chas. Hanson
a recent arrival in the valley who has
invested in considerable property,
among the tracts being the Nance
tract, south of town.
Have you signed up for a Victory
Loan bond? If not, do not waste
any more time. Step into either of the
banks, make your deposit and be one
of the loyal elect to help out your
Uncle Samuel in an emergency. Bonds
can be purchased on easy payments,
and when you have one of them paid
for you have somthing worth while.
1t is an easy way to save money, and
while saving it securing better in
terest than you can obtain from any
savings bank. The saving habit was
inaugurated during the war. Now that
the war is over keep up the habit.
One of the most interesting collec-
tons of souvenirs from the battlefields
of France that has ever been on exhi-
bition in Oroville is the one that has
been on display in the window of the
Oroville Commercial store this week,
collected by Durward Smith, of the
9Th Field Artillery. who has seen much
red hot service on the fighting front.
The collection embraces shoulder
straps, helmet decorations, rifle sights
uniform buttons and other small ar
ticles gathered on the field of battle,
from prisoners and poor fellows who
had no further use for them. The dis
play attracted much attention.
Mrs. Geo. B. Pratt, publicity chair
man Womens Liberty Loan commit
tee writing from Okanogan says:
will you please make mention in
your paper of the fact that all Women
Victory Loan workers are to wear the
Victory "V" arm band during the Vic
tory Liberty Loan drive? There will be
four million American women wearing
this arm band. They are to be worn as
soon as made throughout the campaign
