AFTER every rain or thaw following
d lail of snow, large pools of water
stand on the main business street on
lhe south side of the track. which is
d nuisance to travel to say nothing
VI the disgrace it reflects upon the
town to strangers passing through. A
Few loads or gravel would eliminate
these pot holes, add solidity to the
street, and the cost would be comnar-
atiVely small in comparison to the i'm
provement it would make in the ap-
pearance of that thoroughfare.
A. b. Arsino, who spent the past
several months in Oroville. left Sat-
urday morning for the south on an
extended trip, and while he expected
to return to this place at some future
time the date of that return was in
deiihlte. The young man served for a
number OF years in the army. seeing
much service in the Philippines, but
MS regiment was held on the Mexican
border during the big war. He is cam
able and industrious and is more than
ordinarily intelligent. He takes with
MN the best wishes of q number of
friends he has made while a resident
of Oroville.
Dell Hart reports the sale of the II.
w. Holletts ranch, short distance
southeast of town to w. J. Coy, of Pa
teros. Mr.. Holletts has owned the place
Tor the past two years. He is a valu-
able citizen and one of the industrious
and progressive orchardists and far
mers of the valley, and it is with
feeling of sincere regret that the an
nouncement is made that he has sold
out with the aim of seeking a home
elsewhere. He is perfectly satisfied
with the valley, but other reasons have
prompted him to make the change Mr..
Coy comes to the neighborhood well
recommended as worthy citizen and
we welcome him as an addition to the
population.
The collection of the Roosevelt men,
orial has woefully dragged in this
place which is disappointing consider
ing the fact that there are so many
outspoken admirers of the great Amer
lean. The quota for Oroxille is very
small and should be raised in a few
minutes. The trouble was that no indi.
vidual was appointed to take charge of
the drive here, the apple harvest was
on with everybody busy, and the fail
ure so far to raise the quota is more
from an oversight than any desire to
dodge giving to this worthy object. Any
one who has not so far contributed can
do so by calling at either of the banks
and. the full amount should be sub
scribed today.
appointed deputy to the census su-
pervisor of this district, was in Oro-
Vile Thursday last while travelling
over the district in an effort to secure
local enumerators. We were unable to
learn what success he met with at this
place He had the names of several
candidates for the posi-
tons, all of wham are in every respect
capable of doing the work. Owing to
the prevailing high wages In every
line of employment it is difficult to
find men willing to accept position
