The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1919-07-04

One evening the latter part of last
week the Rebekah lodge gave a fare
we'll reception to Miss Ruth Burns
and Miss Estella Wright, who have
been connected with the Oroville Gen.
eral Hospital and who leave Oroville
within few days. The reception was
largely attended and the source of o
great deal of pleasure to all partici.
pants. During the evening Miss Burns
and Miss Wright were presented with
gold Rebekah pins by the members Of
the lodge.
Clyde Hicks arrived in Oroville Mon
day evening. from Princeton, to spend
the 4th Of July and a few days there
after. Mr.. Hicks left Oroville for the
coast about year ago, and put in his
time at Tacoma, Seattle and other
coast cities working in the shipyards
A few weeks ago he accepted a posi-
tion with the C. P. R. R., and Is now
stationed on the Canadian Pacific, a
short distance from Princeton, where
he expects to remain indefinitely.
Capt Roland o. Smith, Sargent John
]. Kenney and Sargent Ermit Par
mentier, of the base hospital corps
Camp Lewis, made up q party that
spent three or four days in Oroville
during the past week on a recruiting
mission. There was no drum and bugle
hip hurrah stuff, but a gum shoe
search for good material for the reg
ular army, o. A member Of the squad
stated that they were we'll repaid for
their trip to Oroville as they had in
terested a number Of prospects among
former service men who expressed
their intention of re-entering the SER
vice in a short time.
Hon. Tom Stanton will act as mar
shal of the day during the celebration
and better choice could not have
been made. Mr. Stanton has acted in
that capacity on former occasions OF
the kind, and in every instance he has
proved himself to be the right man in
the right place. He does not let things
drag. He believes that crowd gathers
on the 4th to be entertained, and when
there is a program Of entertainment
there is no reason why that program
should not be carried out promptly
There are no idle nor dull moments
when Mr.. Stanton has the ordering OF
things. Then he has the advantage oil
stentorian voice that carries far and
commands respect. In addition to
these qualifications Mr.. Stanton is al
ways urbane and good natured, never
Intentionally gives offense and that is
why he handles crowds so satisfac-
torily.
The Oroville ball club copped two
games Tuesday at the opening day Of
| the celebration at Penticton, and Gun
Mallory established reputation FOL
being one of the pluckiest amateurs
| in the upper country, with supply Of
nerve, speed and curves that is simply
marvellous. The opening game was
with KeremeOs. The Oroville lads helc
the Keremeos team runless up to tht
seventh inning, when Mallory hurt hi
arm and thumb, and in that inning
lKeremeos piled up three runs. NAL
llory frightened up for the next two In
nings and held the Canadians hitless
|Oroyille had four runs, SO nosed OIL
!, bv a narrow margin OF single score
without a change of pitchers Mallor!
had to go in against the hard hittinl
Penticton team in the afternoon. l
looked like a cinch for Penticton, con
sidering Mallory's condition. His team
mates rubbed Mallory's arm for tw'
hours Just prior to the game In tn
afternoon, and the boy whizzed then
over better than ever, so good, indee'
that Penticton was defeated by scor
Iof s to 1. It was record on tn
mound to be proud OF.
