A FORCED MEASURE

1t is not often that the quantity
of reading matter in the Gazette Is
so curtailed that it becomes neces-
sary to explain why, but such ex-
PLANTATION is due our readers this
week. Owing to the fact that the
electric power was to be cut off
Wednesday morning for an in
definite number of days it was
necessary to print the issue of this
week on Tuesday night, and as
Manager Hedger, of the power
plant cannot say exactly when the
juice is to be turned on again next
weeks issue may be as many days
late as this issue is early. This
temporary shut down of the power
plant was made necessary by the
installation of new turbine wheel.
the manager of the plant several
paddles, or fianges, or what ever
they are that aid in making the
wheel go round, were torn out
some weeks ago, and since that
time the plant has been running on
half leg, supplying only modi-
cum of power and threatening at
any moment to stop producing
energy. A new wheel was ordered
at the time. Everybody understood
that when it arrived power would
be shut off for number of days,
and people have been preparing for
the time of darkness by cleaning
up and trimming old coal oil lamps
and laying in supply of candles.
That wheel arrived Saturday, and
Manager Hedger kindly postponed
cutting out the power until We'd
nesday morning so that this paper
could issue for the week That is
why there is shortage of reading
matter this week and why display
appear on the front
page for the first time since the
paper was established.

MORE EXPLANATION

All plans were fixed for commenc
ing to make repairs at the Okanogan
Valley Power company's plant at the
falls of the Similkameen this week,
and at the earnest solicitation of the
publisher of this paper the manager
agreed not to turn off the power unit!
Wednesday morning, giving lis a
chance to publish the paper Tuesday
evening for the present week. After
the paper was ready to go to press
Tuesday the manager stated that
owing to the presence of ice and the
cold weather it would be impossible
to start making the repairs for several
days. The exact date could not be
fixed, all depending on the condition
of the weather. If the weather mod
crates work can commence at once.
II the cold continues the shut down
must be Indefinitely postponed. Owing
to the uncertainty of the power the
paper this week had to be printed
Wednesday morning, and if the power
is cut off by Monday the next issue
Of the Gazette will be several days
late. So there you are. A devil of a
situation to be in for which blame
can be attached to no one but the
clerk of the weather.

DEATH OF A WORTHY CITIZEN

Brief mention was made in the last
issue of the Gazette of the sudden
death OF Edward Davis, an old and
esteemed resident of OrOvi.le, who
passed away Thursday morning of last
week very suddenly. Mr.. Davis had
been ailing for several days, but de-
clined to call in medical attendance
until the day before his death. At that
time Dr.. Lewis discovered that Mr..
Davis was suffering from leakage of
the heart, an aggravated condition Of
that organ that had been affected for
4 year or more. While realizing that
his condition was serious, immediate
fatal results was not considered prob
able. DR.. Lewis visited the patient
about noon Thursday. and it wa,
hardly a quarter of an hour after the
visit that Mr.. Davis died without a
struggle.
AS the paper stated In mentioning
the death of Mr.. Davis last week the
news was shock to the community,
for few were aware that the gentle
man was i'll, and those who did know
it supposed it was only temporary
ailment. On every hand could be
,eard expressions of sincere regret.
for the deceased was without an en-
emy in the community, and no man
has ever passed away in OrOyille
leaving behind so many warm person
ii friends. The funeral took place
from the family residence Sunday af-
ternoon under direction of the Odd
Fellows, and large number of peo-
pie turned out to show their last re-
spects to the departed.
Edward Davis was born in Terre
Haute. Ind, October 81 1S43. and
hence was aged So years 2 months and
six days. He was educated at Ascan
sion college. Ascension, Ind. lie was
married in Te'"e, Haute June 5, lSi3,
to Martha LanCers, who survives him.
To this union two children were born.
a son and a daughter. Tha son died
in infancy The daughter is Mrs. F..
Is. Taylor. The deceased moved to
Spokane in the spring of 1887, where
he was engaged in the grocery busi-
ness. He put up one of the first brick
business houses after the great fire if
1883. He moved to Oroville in the
TALL of 1907, where he opened hard
ware store conducting the SAME up
to the time of his death. lie leaves
a widow, daughter and son-in-law
and two grandchildren, besides null
titude of close friends to mourn his
DEATH
In our long life we have known few
men Of more genuine worth than Ed.
Davis. and in his death we feel a PER
sonal loss. He was gentleman of
sterling qualities, and in his personal
relations with his fellow men he was
honorable, straightforward and up
right. Always genial and optimistic
he faced the problems OF life with a
perpetual smile. His sunny nature
was source Of pleasure to those
who came in contact with him. He
, had kind word for every ore and as
a result every one had kind word
to say when mentioning Ed. !'avis.
His intense Americanism and loyalty
to country was an admirable exam
ple to all men, and 1t was only his
years that kept him out Of the late
war. AS citizen, as a neighhor, as
a friend Ed, Davis measured up to the
ideal man. and in his death Oroville
has suffered most grevious less.
