WILL BUILD
BRICK BLOCK
Oroville Motor Co. Calls For
Bids For Construction of
New Building =

The Oroville Motor Company this
week are advertising for bids for the
construction of their new garage
building, bids to be submitted by June
18th. The building, which is to be To-
Gated on the corner opposite the Lib
erty (old Orpheum) theater, is to he
built of brick and cover ground space
SS $50 feet in dimensions. 1t will
be one story in height and the floor
will be of concrete, with tile flooring
Off the sale room. 1t will also include
a store room for rent, 25 feet by rs
feet
Construction is to start at the earl
lest possible date, before the end of
June, if possible. When completed this
will be one of the completest and best
equipped garages and supply houses
in the state.
The Oroville Motor company, which
handles the Buick and the Chevrolet
cars, and the G. M. c. trucks and
tractors, has built up big and thriv-
ing business here under the manage
ment of Revie Frank, business that
has expanded to such proportions that
the new building has become neces-
sity to accommodate the trade
The autimobile business is increas-
ing rapidly here each season as the
development of the valley progresses
and it is certain indication of the
improving conditions.

COACH LEAVES TRACK.

The passenger coach on the Spokane
train was derailed Just south OF the
high trestle over Tonasket creek,
Monday. Fortunately the car remain
ed on the grade and as soon as the
train came to a stop the passengers
were transferred to the baggage car
and brought on into town. The
cause of the derailment, as near as
it could be determined from examina-
ton, appears to be due to the over
heating of the wheels due to friction
OF the brakes in coming down the long
steep grade from Nelson The heat
caused the tires to expand and the
bolts were cut by the expansion, re-
sulting in the tires coming off the
wheels. The train was moving at
fair rate of speed at the time and the
heavy coach tore up about eleven
rail lengths of track, twisting many
of the rails like pipe stems. A force
worked all night rebuilding the track
and getting the coach into the shop
here. Had the derailment taken place
few minutes or even seconds earlier
the result would have been 4 fatal az
cident, as the coach would have Jump
ed the high trestle over Tonasket
creek. AS it was, the passengers have
every reason to congratulate them
selves that the coach remained on
the high grade at the point where the
accident occurred.

HIGH SCHOOL EXHIBIT

The exhibit of the work of the MI
pills of the grade and high schools
held in the store building adjoining
the Hamisch Mercantile Company's
store on Main street last Friday and
Saturday afternoons and evenings was
revelation to the people of Oroville
The work of each grade and depart
ment was shown and it demonstrated
in a convincing manner the practical.
thorough and efficient character of
the instruction that is afforded in the
public school course here under the
able direction of Principal d. F. Olds
and his capable corps of teachers.
The exhibit was attractively and eff
fectively arranged There was dis
played the product Of the new idea
in education that trains the hands as
well as the mind, in the shape of
many splendidly made pieces of use
full furniture that would do credit to
a journyman joiner or cabinet maker.
There were things made of concrete
and of metal as well as of wood all
of them practical and all evidence
that the students are receiving an
instruction that will help them to do
for themselves when they take up the
battle of life later on. Delicious
looking cakes and pastry and palmer
food stuffs demonstrated that the pu-
pills Of the domestic economy class
have learned something more than
the theory of housekeeping. Besides
these special course exhibits there
was displayed the work in mathemat-
les, English geography, penmanship,
drawing, hygene, languages, etc.
The exhibit was a splendid idea
and that it was appreciated was evil
denced by the deeply interested
crowds that attended and examined
the display so thoroughly throughout
the two afternoons and evenings that

OROyILLE 4-PENTICTON =

The ball game ar Penucton las'
Thursday was another thriller. Inc
BOYS from Orovile started out with
batting streak that theatened W
turn the game into rout for Pentictoh'
In the first inning they bunched iiVe
hits and made four runs. FOR the
time they had the opposing pitcher

the initial inning and played his posi-
tion so effectively that the Oroviile
batters were unable to repeat thelr
offensive tactics. Throughout the
game the Penticton players tieide"
their positions like professionals put

Red Crown in his tank.

Red Crown in his tank.
Unquestionably this course, which
covers eight miles of grade ranging
from five to eighteen per cent
through the Waterman canyon near
San Bernadino is one of the severest
tests motor fuel can have any where
in the country There is hardly a
straight stretch of road in the whole
distance and the inumerable sharp
curves and twists, combined with
the grade, presents difficulties which
can only be overcome by car using
the, best quality of gasoline.
This Rim o. the World hill climb
ing contest is one of the few stock
car events regularly held in Califor-
mia. That the two winning cars
should both have used Red Crown is
a tribute to the quality and steady
power that it possesses in every day
use
The high quality of Red Crown was
again demonstrated under the heavy
strain of this hill climbing event. AS
a straight distilled, all refinery gaso-
line it has the full and complete
chain of boiling points necessary for
consistent performance Low boiling
points give easy starting, medium
boiling points quiet and smooth ac-
celeration, and high boiling points
give steady, dependable power and
long mileage.

BIG SUM FOR
ROAD WORK
State to Expend $4,000
On Highway No. 10
This Summer

State Road No. 10 is to be i'm
proved to the extent of $4,000
worth of grading and surfacing this
summer The first piece of, work
will be the LAUDER Guich project be-
tween Tonasket and Oroville, and it
is probable that the entire stretch
OF road from this place south to To-
nasket will be graded and surfaced
State Highway Commissioner James
Allen was in Orovilie last Friday on
tour of inspection of the roads in
this part of the state. While mere be
announced that contracts for work
on State Road No. 10 will be let at
Olympia on June 23rd and that the
principal development will be on the
Ophir Grade and LAUDER Gulch
stretches. Mr.. ALLEN also definitely
located the route or the highway
from Oroville north to the interna-
tional boundary, deciding in favor Of
the lower route which will eliminate
heavy grades and present no diff
culties in the matter of rights-of-way.
The valley highway, known as
State Road No. TO- carries heavy
traffic at all seasons and no other
stretch of road in this part OF the
state is so much in need OF improve
ment. The money 20 be expended
this summer should put it in good
condition and eliminate some OF the
worst stretches of road.
LAUDER Gulch presents particu-
1arlv difficult obstacle to travel. The
grades there are heavy, the ROAD
very rough and in one or two places
is dangerously narrow. The elimin-
aticn of this bad stretch will alone
be boon to the travellers over this
valley road.

The water in the Similkameen river
reached such high state Wendensday
that the electric power plant was
forced to close down and Oroville was
left without lights or power This
made it impossible to continue opera
tions in the Gazette office, which de-
pends upon the continuous supply of
electricity for motive power for it's
machinery AS a consequence the Ga
