CALIFORNIA NOT so SUNNY.

Mrs. Maggie Spencer who accom-
panied the Stotz family to California
last September, returned to Oroyille
last week. very happy to be back here
She left Mr.. and Mrs. StOltz and their
family at Paso Robles, California. and
said that Mr.. Stoltz is planning to re-
turn here in the spring, as early as the
conditions will permit of automobile
travelling. According to Mrs Spencer,
sunny California Is not all sunshine
and prosperity. That country has been
deluged with unusual rains this past
fall and during the winter, which have
caused great deal of sickness and
disccmforture. And If the evidence of
the most common sight along the
highways is to be accepted. conditions
there are worse than elsewhere. The
roads, she says. are lined with count
less numbers Of men afoot. carrying
their worldly possessions on their
backs and seeking work or food. At
all times that Is common picture in
California in the winter. as hosts of
rovers drift down there for the war
mer winter climate. But the numbers
have been greatly augmented this
season by the general hard times.

PLANTING ESTIMATE HIGHER.
lain Is made that 1850 acres will be
Added TO Orchards i'm Spring.

Assertion is made by those who
claim to know, that the new acreage
o be planted to fruit trees this spring
will be nearer 1,500 than-1'000 acres as
'eported last week by the Gazette.
'uller estimates by nursery represen-
atives give reason to believe that the
new orchards to be started this year
will cover much larger area than at
first estimated.
Fruit stock is still being sold in the
valley and it may be that when plant
ing actually takes place, the new
orchard acreage will even exceed the
larger figures of the later estimates
it is said,
Among those who win plant addi-
tional acreage in the Ellisforde dis
trict are w. r. Ramsey IL acres :
CrOcker, 90 acres; Peterson. 90 acres
Meacham. 10 acres; Erickson. 20 acres
and Picken, S acres.

HOSPITAL MAY BE
CLOSED BY FEB |
Directors Consider abandoning the
Struggle to. Keep Institution
Going.

The Oroville General Hospital may
close its doors on February l. An
nouncement to this effect was made
Wednesday, The reason given is the
failure of the community to support
the institution sufficiently to make il
possible to continue operations. Many
individuals have been generous in re
spending to appeals for supplies and
aid but few persons could not carry
the load that is a community respon.
sibility
If the proposal to close the hospital
is carried out, Oroville will feel the
effects of that action in the loss tC
the community that will result. 1t will
be loss not only of money, but o
prestige. The hospital is an asset il
