The Oroville weekly gazette. [volume] (Oroville, Wash.) 1905-19??, 1920-09-10

The attention Of the voters Of Oro-
willie Precinct No. 3 is particularly
called to the fact that the polls for
the primary election next Tuesday
will be at the home of Henry Finsen,
In the gEast Oroyille Orchard Tracts.
In the past the polls have been held
at the residence of Frank Stansbury.
but at that Igentleman's request the
change was made to the home of Me.
Ffnsen. The election board for the
3rd precinct is made up of Lon San
born, c.. e. Robinson and 8. B. Gjerde.
Voters ofethe district should make
note OF this change and be sure that
every registered voter is on hand to
aid in the selection of candidates.
The Hawaiian company that appear
ed at the Liberty Sunday and Monday
evenings was no worse and no better
than other Hawaiian troupes that
have appeared in Oroville in the past.
There were five of them in the COM
pany. three men and two women, and
were no doubt artists in their lire
and the program was enjoyed by those
who have liking for Hawaiian music
or the jumpy wailing that passes for
music. The instrumental playing was
well worth the price of admittance,
and II there had been more Of it and
less of the dangerous waiting Of the
cannibal islands the performance
would have received warmer applause.
Monday Mr. and Mrs. E. N. Grubb
and Mr.. and Mrs. A. o. Spencer leave
IN Mr. Spencer's auto for southern
California where they all expect to
spend the winter. Mr.. Spencer has
driven over the route and hence is
familiar with the roads. The party has
not as yet decided just where they will
spend the winter. That decision will
be. made after reaching the south land.
At the time of departure 1t was the in
tentiOn of all the excursionists To
return to Oroville in the spring, al
though it is possible that Mr.. and
Mrs. Grubb may find some attractive
business opening in California. This,
however. We are inclined to doubt for
the Grubbs have confidence in the flu
ture of Oroville and as they like the
place they will probably return.
DR.. and Mrs. w. T. Schwabland
spent part of Sunday and Sunday
night in Oroville, motoring over from
Spokane and returning home Monday.
We do not know how long it has been
since the doctor last visited Oroville,
but it has been eight years since Mrs.
Schwabland was last here, and that
was the time the family moved to Spo-
kane. They saw many changes in Oro-
Vile since the time they were resi-
dents thereof, changes along lines of
marked improvement The friends of
the genial couple could see little
change in the doctor and his wife, un-
less it were that Mrs. Schwabland is
younger than in the old days while
the doctor has taken on a trifle more
dignity and flesh, neither of which i'll
become him. The Schwablands left
friends here who have never fogotten
them and it was a real and sincere
pleasure to those friends to welcome
them on their all too short visit to
their old home.
After having seen other lake re-
sorts We are more convinced than
ever that the time will come when
Osoyoos lake will be one of the great
lake resorts of the state. We have not
the majestic mountains of Chelan and
Kachess, and lack the trout fishing
but Lake OsOyOos is beautiful sheet
of water just the same, is we'll stock
ed with fish and has one real advan-
tage over the lakes mentioned, and
that is long stretches of sandy beach,
with shallow water extending out
some distance in the lake making it
one of the safest and best lakes in
which to enjoy bathing to be found
anywhere in the west Some time in
the future tourists hotels will be To-
Gated on Osoyoos lake that will be
well patronized during the summer
season, and the shores dotted with
summer cottages. The fact is that our
own people do not appreciate the pos
sibilities Of Osoyoos lake nor realize
what valuable asset it is to Oroville
Get good modern resort hotel once
established and people will be coming
this way from all parts of the west to
spend summers outing.
