ing in Oroville Tuesday.
Harry Stanton who is now engaged

that Mr. Stanton is doing well with MS
last saw mill venture.
The dance given Wednesday night
for the benefit of the Oroville General
Hospital was largely attended and II
is hardly necessary to add that those
taking part had a most delightful time
Of it. The supper, furnished by the Ia
dies of the town, was feature that
was not overlooked by the dancers
and must not be overlooked in a men
ton of the affair because it was up TO
the high standard that was to be ex-
pected considering the habit of the Ia
dies of Oroville in supplying exception
ally toothsome feeds. The dance was
also a success from a financial point
of view.
The general election takes place
four weeks from next Tuesday. In the
meantime the reading public will be
RECALLED very largely upon political
pap, some of 1t of a very unsavory
taste. 1t is an experience to be expect
ed every four years, and while mucn
of it is stale and Improbable the hip
hurrah adds something to the gayety
of life. Mixed with the praise Of politi-
cal candidates there will be much
| abuse, but the public has learned to-
understand that candidates are neither
as black nor as angelic as they are
painted by the word artists who are
biased by political prejudices.
The II. G.. L. received a jolt when
Henry Ford announced that Ford cars
were to be reduced in price to con-
form with prewar prices. True, we
can neither eat nor wear Ford cars,
although some people seem to believe
that owning car is more necessary
than buying food or clothing, but from
| the fact that this break in prices has
taken place there are hopes that some
of the necessities as we'll as luxuries,
of life will take a downward tendency
so that the man of moderate means,
who has just been able to keep his
head above water, and often bob bling
under, may touch dry land and stretch
his legs.
VIM. Bouck, head of the State
Grange, and running for congress on
| the third party ticket, a gentleman
whose experience at farming has been
largely that of farming the farmers
spoke to small audience in Odd Eel
lows hall last Thursday evening. The
| coming of MIR. Bouck was not general
ly known or there would have been a
larger turn out This paper is no,
against the third party as party
only the disloyM element that is in tn
| saddle and running the party, and
| hence at any time local members OF
, that party have a speaker coming they
are welcome to the columns of the Ga
zette in order to give the coming pub
licity
Persons down from the high lands
west of LOOMS report that there are
| already tnree Ieet OF SHOW IN horse
shoe basin, locality where sheer
have been pasturing this summer
With that start so early in the season
there should be an abnormal fall OF
snow in the mountains the coming
winter and heavy SHOWS means the
prospects Of at least seeing a heavy
crop of grain harvested in the county
next fall. A severe winter is someth
ing that people do not often yearn for
but after the long continued droutf
the coming winter could not be too Sc
we're to suit the population, provided
the severely was confined to a heav!
| fall of snow.
