Thrilling -rescues and at least three
desperate leaps from high windows
were incidents of a tenement fire,
which started at o'clock this morn
ing at No. AZ Essex Street. The
building is five stories high and the
flames, starting under the stairway,
cut off that avenue of escape. Ter
roized tenants-there were more than
fifty--were at almost every upper
window by the time firemen arrived
with ladders.
The men who Jumped and several
others are at Gouverneur Hospital.
Lieut.. Anthony J. Poggi of Engine
Company No, II heard the screams of
a woman from the fifth floor. He

SCHOOL EXHIBIT.


One of the largest, best and most
interesting school exhibits that has
ever been made by the Oroville public
schools was that on display in the
Civic League building Tuesday and
Wednesday of this week. The great
quantity of articles exhibited by pu-
pills of every grade, from specimens of
writing, drawing and designing up to
the large cabinet pieces turned out by
both boys and girls. did not detract
from the quality. The boys proved
themselves to be experts with the pen,
pencil and tools and the girls work
was not second to that of the boys
The large room was completely filled
with the varied display and it is a sat
isfaction to state that very large
number of residents, Inspected the ex-
hibit and expressed their surprise and
satisfaction IS to sas.s character and
quality. The exceliency Of the work
reflects credit on both pupils and
teachers. Where all did so well it is
not necessary to specialize. for praise
for one is equally due to ali. Some
of the cabinet articles were works of
art and could hardly be surpassed by
experienced artizens, while the needle
work would compare favorably with
that our mothers turned out. Our hat
is off to the boys and girls of the Oro-
vile public school

HIT A TOUGH OBSTRUCTION.

Jack Goffney tried to pull UP the
fire plug at the corner of Main stree.
and First avenue by the roots Sunday
night about 10 o'clock by running into
the obstruction with his heavy Oak
land runabout. A robust chunk of iron
is that fire hydrant and it stood the
shock far better than the car, which
had it's front battered out of shape. At
the corner the only evidence that
something unusual had occurred was
a sprinkling of shattered glass, drop
or two of blood, a few bolts cut off as
smooth as though amputated with
cold chisel and nick or two in the ny
drant The most dismal evidence that
something had happened was in the
wreck Of the car that had been towed
to the Bowen hospital for autos. The
car is owned and was driven on the
night of the catastrophe by Mr.. GOff-
ney and he had as passenger A. Phil
ips, one of Bowen's valuable assist
ants. By miracle the driver escaped
tunate as he was catapulted through
the windshield and suffered severe
lasceration on the right ear, which
howey er, did not incapacitate him
from working the next day. 1t was for
tunate that the town authorities had
placed that fire plug just where Mr..
Goffney found it or the car and occu-
pants would have landed inside of the
Commercial stores show window
much to the annoyance of Mr.. Powell
and the mussing up of the occupants
of the car. Mr.. Phillips informs us
that as Mr. Goffney turned the corner
coming up First avenue into Main
street, going at fairly good clip the
front spring gave way and the car at
once became unmanageable. Mr.. Phil
ips is not a young man to make a
statement that is not correct and his
explanation eXonerates Mr.. Goffney
from all blame, and explodes the SEN
sational stories that were in corcula-
tion as to how the accident happened.

through misunderstanding the
place Tor holding the Baccalaureate
sermon for the graduating class of the
nigh school became badly mixed up.
ms paper announced that the service
would be held in the high school audi
torium, but before that announcement
was made committee had arranged
with Dean Severance to hold the SER
vices in the Episcopal church, and he
arranged his church program accord
ingly. The result was that notice was
circulated by means of slides at the
moving picture houses Saturday night
and by word Of mouth so that the pub
lie was pretty we'll informed as to the
change from the high school to the
church. 1t has always been customary
to hold the baccalaureate services in

that the Sunday services at the Epis-
copal church was no new Innovation.
On this occasion the little church was
inadequate to accommodate all who
wished to hear the services. In past
years the largest attendance at any
service of the kind did not exceed Is
but that of Sunday almost bulged out
the sides Of the church building. Rev.
X. X. Martin made the announcements
and read the scriptures Mrs. Beverley
Powell sang solo, while there were
songs by the school children and the
congregation. Dean Severance deliver
ed very eloquent sermon in which
much good advice was given the grad
uating class. Altogether the services
were appealing, interesting and in.
structive to both old and young.

C. N. RAILROAD
MACNATES HERE

Last Saturday evening a party OF
railroad officials arrived in Orovilis
over the Oroville-Wenatchee branch
in three private cars attached to the
regular passenger train. The party
was made up of A. Budd. resident OF
the Great Northern railway; Z. y.
jerks, vice-president; M j. Costello.
assistant traffic manager; J. H.
ONeill, general manager; +. ). Elliott
general superintendent western divis-
ion; c. S. Bowen, engineer;, +. A.
Bushnell, purchasing agent; I. r.
Dixon, superintendent of the Marcus
division. Sunday morning q special
train was made up here of the private
cars, in charge of Conductor A. e.
Getchel and Engineer VIM. Lewis and
the officials were taken to Coalmont
where they inspected several coal
mines. Returning, the train reached
Oroville about Z o'clock Sunday even-
ing. The railroad magnates on arrival
were met by the officials OF the
West Okanogan Valley Irrigation Dis
trict and citizens and taken in autos
over a portion of the permanent work
being done on the system. 1t was
through the interposition Of the Great
Northern railroad officials that the
first bond issue of the district was
floated, and again the company has
used it's influence in placing q large
portion of the recently voted additional
bonds, the receipts from which are to
hn in nin0 f1nmoC and
bitches with cement construction. Un-
fortunately owing to the late hour OF
their return the tour of inspection had
to be confined to limited extent OF
the system, but the gentlemen express
ed themselves very much pleased with
the evidence of improvement 10 be
seen on every hand and the transfor-
nation that two or three years has
made in this part of the valley. They
also spoke flatteringly of the neat ap-
pearance of the town and indications
of growth. The party left Monday
morning for Wenatchee.
This visit to Oroville was part Of
an itinery that has been marked out
during which several objective points
visited for the purpose of inspection.
the trip to Coalmont was for the pur-
pose of obtaining first hand informa-
ton as to the possibility of securing
a steady supply of coal for the use Of
the road. The Great Northern has
heretofore drawn much OF its coal
supply from the British Columbia coal
mines, but owing to interruptions by
strikes and other causes this source
OF supply has often been uncertain.
AS result of this visit Of inspection
the Great Northern company may pur-
chase mine at Coalmont or enter in
to contract with the mine owners Of
that place to furnish coal for the road.
in which case there is going to be 8.
tremendous tonnage Of freight carried
over the Oroville-Princeton line In
the years to come.

AN EXPLANATION,

The announcement that Oroville was
to celebrate the 4th of July two days,
Saturday and Sunday, and announc-
ed as the information came to hand
has created something of furor and
more than limited amount of discus
sion. In the original announcement of
the celebration it was stated that it
was not the intention to carry any 9TH
er exercises over into Sunday than
the ball games, and We have been
authorized to repeat that statement as
fact. The chief celebration will be on
Saturday and some of the ball contests
are to take place the following day
This takes some of the rough edges off
the assertion that the celebration was
to go on over Sunday because it has
been customary from time immemor-
ial in the west to stage ball games on
the Sabbath. There may be an honest
difference of opinion as to whether
that is the proper caper, but no one
has to 60 to ball game on that day
if he or she does not want to, and as il
is no new innovation much of the
curse of mentioning the day in con-
junction with the celebration is re-
moved. The Gazette is willing to be the
goat in this matter of hastily includ-
ing Sunday in the period which the
celebration is to be carried out. The
paper should have been more explicit
in explaining that the general hurrah
would be confined to Saturday and
only ball games would provide enter
tainment to the public on the second
day.

AN IMPORTANT
CONCESSION

Under the parcels post zone system
packages from Oroville mailed to Sc
attic took the third zone rate owing
to the fact that following the line of
the Great Northern through Everett to
Seattle the distance is few miles over
3OO, and according to the rules of the
postoffice department offices in the
second zone that are 300 miles or more
apart must take the third zone rate.
Postmaster Hoskins has always con-
tended that Seattle was less than 800
miles from Oroville, having that con-
tention upon the mileage that would
be measured il the mail went over the
Great Northern to Snohomish and from
there over the Northern Pacific to Sc
attic. or course the mail does not fol-
low that route, nor will it in the future,
but that is the shortest way around be-
tween the two points, and the shortest
way around is the route counted in
establishing the zone system. At last
the department has recognized Post
master Hoskins' contention and he has
been notified that parcels post pack
ages mailed from Oroville to Seattle
will take on the second zone rates. Do
you realize what that means to the
growers Of this part of the valley?
Why. it opens up market in which
there is profit to the growers where
heretofore they were excluded 1t gives
Oroville the same rate as Wenatchee
and all other points along the Uroville-
Wenatchee branch. Take for instance
apples just as single item. A box of
apples weighs some so pounds. Here
tofore it has cost $1.09 cents to ship
box of apples from Oroville to Seattle
the postage on that box of apples
comes to 81 cents, which means a saw
ing of 80 cents to the shipper, and SO
cents profit on a box of apples is
pretty neat profit. But apples are but
a single item in the list of products
that can be shipped from Oroville dur
ing the season at handsome profit.
Moreover, there is great advantage in
using the mail over that of express.
When shipped through the latter chan
mel the person to whom the package is
addressed must call for it in person.
When shipped by mail the postOffice
delivers the package at the door of the
person to whom it is addressed. This is
most important concession on the
part of the postoffice department and
Postmaster Hoskins is entitled to great
credit for at last bringing the proper
officials around to recognizing Oro-
ville's claims. He has worked upon the
proposition for two years. 1t means
that thousands of pounds of produce is
going to be shipped from Oroville to
Seattle by mail in the future greatly to
the benefit of the grower. Postmaster
Hoskins explains the change thus: The
former order of four years ago prGvid-
ing that all points in the second zone,
three hundred miles or more from the
shipping point (of fourth class matter)
shall require the third zone rate. has
been modified between Orovlle AMI
Seattle so as to require the second
zone rate only.
