PLAYING IT Low DOWN.

One night the latter part of last
week some party or parties unknown
entered the creamery and purloined
therefrom five gallon freezer of ice
cream. There was a party down the
river somewhere and tne presumption
on the part of the victim OF the raid
Is that the cold righteousness contrib
uted to the pleasure of that gathering
OF course that is only supposition, and
the participants in that social func-
ton may have managed TO while away
the evening hours without the COM
fOrting aid of ice cream and tne stol-
en- sweetness may have gone to tickle
the palates of some assembly else
where. No matter Where it went that
ice cream certainly disappeared sur
reptitiously, and Mr.. Friis, who is out
and injured by the raid is forced to
enter up the goods in the column Of
profit and loss, and very much lost.
Naturally he does not feel at all
pleased over the loss of the cream
but he is especially peeved over the
loss of the freezer, and Is willing to
call it quits il the robbers will return
the can, for ne can make more cream
but is not in a position to make more
freezers. If the light fingered gentry
have heart they will slip that free
ger back SINE dark night

A GROWING EVIL.

Several items in our last issue refer
ring to the growing disregard to pro-
hibition laws as evidenced by the driv-
in got ears by men under the influence
of liquor and the ease and frequency
with which motorists procure booze
just across the line north of Oroville
Under new decision of the courts Off
GERS can search cars for liquor with
out tne necessity of taking out war
rant. This removes a great handicap
that peace officers heretofore labored
under in their efforts to break up this
contraband trade. No one but those
ready and willing to break the law can
object to having car searched, and
those desiring to have the law enforc-
ed will gladly submit to search There
seems to be more people seeking the
fountains from which the taboOed tip
pie flows with the opening of the pres
ent summer than this early in any pre-
vious year. possibly with the aim of
quenching winters accumulated
thirst These absorbers of the forbid
den fruit. or fluid travel in motor cars
and the return trip after imbibing is
so eccentric and reckless that the lives
of decent people on the road are
placed in jeopardy Ii it could be so
ordered that only the DRINKS them
selves could be eliminated through
these auto accidents the public gene
ally could look upon this wild driving
with cOmplacency. but it is unfortu
nately the case that as rule it is the
innocent that are made to suffer. 1t
may not be possible to entirely sup
press these tourists who go over into
British Columbia to secure liquor, but
measures could be taken to make such
trips so uncomfortable that the num-
Der can be reduced to a minimum
This protest is filed not only In tne
hopes of arousing prohibition officers
to action for the protection of sober
people who use the highways. but for
the good name of the town, for 1t is
very common statement made that
people come to Oroville to procure
liquor. when the fac: is it is extreme
ly difficult to obtain liquor in town.
The source of supply is Immediately
on the International boundary line,
only short distance north of OrOville
and owing to the configuration of the
valley the road leading to the foun-
tain head passes through OrOville.
Hence the combination Of the name
of Oroville and the word liquor gives
the wrong impression on the outside
where conditions are not understood

MUCH PAIN FROM SMALL HURT.

J. A. Spencer has suffered a most
distressing and protractedly palnruI
experience from what ordinary would
be considered rather trifling hurI
Just three months ago in an EVIL mo
ment he picked up an old broom nan
die and attempted to throw it at some
chickens tnat had trespassed upon ms
Cozy Corner ranch, opposite the
creamery. A large splinter ran INTO
his right hand near the ball OF the
first finger. Mr.. Spencer drew out
the splinter, but within few hours
blood poison developed. He was under
medical treatment for days, and at one
time it was a serious question If he
could make a live of it. His hand ana
arm were shockingly swollen and he
suffered eXcrutiating pam. Inc
searcnlight of the X-ray was called In
play time and again, yet no foreign
substance could be discovered Tne
swelling and pain could not be reduc-
ed. Mr. Spencer felt certain that
| fragment of the splinter was still IN
| the hand. At last DR.. Bevis made a
deep incision and found quite large
silver of wood. Even after that was
removed the hand refused to get well.
Mr. Spencer even made trip to We
iuatchee for medical consultation. The
doctor whom he saw in that city could
discover no foreign substance in the
| hand and he recommended local
trea tment similar TO what the patient
| mad been following and expressed the
| opinion that the swelling and pain
would disappear in time. But days and
| weeks went on and Mr.. Spencer eX-
! perienced no relief. Saturday Mr.,
| Spencer had DR.. Bevs open the hand
! for second time, making deep in

PROVIDING AN EGG MARKET.

O. A. Mattson is to be commended
for the good work he is carrying on
in the way of providing a market for
the increasing egg production of this
part of the county. AS more land
owners add poultry raising as a side
line as contributory influence upon
the income the quantity OF eggs pro-
duced naturally increases. A few
years ago, and not so long ago at that,
merchants found it necessary to i'm
port eggs to meet tne demand Now
1t is different, and the local market
cannot begin to absorb the output In
deed it could not be expected that a
small community could consume all
the eggs offered whe nthey can be de-
livered in car load lots. and hence in
order that this popular product be not
a total loss to the farmer the outside
market mad to be reached. Mr.. Matt
son stepped into the breach. He has
been taking all eggs offered and ship
ping them by express and parcel post
to Wenatchee, Spokane, Seattle and
wherever q market within reach could
be found. During the past month he
has shipped out over 100 cases. That
would fill good many orders for ham
and, or two or three on a raft, or door
knobs hard or soft as the taste might
demand and so fluently snot to the
chief by the whimsical waiter. 1t may
be added that as production OF eggs
increase, which is the natural Sc
quence to the increased number of
chickens populating the orchard
tracts and hill ranches, it will become
necessary to ship in car load lots. and
that is just what poultry raisers Will
be doing in a short time.

BLIND TO CONDITIONS.

Living in zone where the elements
have combined during the past several
years to rob the farmer of fair re-
turn upon his efforts. thus creating a
condition of depression and hating all
progress. the publisher of the Win
thrOw Banner--a name that should be
changed to the Winthrow Hammer
mas become a grabbed pessimist and
has no eyes for conditions beyond his
immediate surroundings. 1t is impOs
sible for the Banner to realize that
such thing as prosperity exists any
where within the confines of the
United States, and if the word pros
perity' is used in connection with
any reference to signs of improvement
elsewhere that paper is always "a
doubling Thomas and is strenuous in
the assertion that good times are i'm
possible. Granted that all localities
and all men are not at the present
time enjoying a full measure of good
fortune, yet there are things doing all
around even in this state that are in
dicative OF more flourishing condi-
ton than existed shortly after the
late war. The other day we noticed
an auto license numbering somewhere
around 100000. Possibly there are
that number OF auto cars in use in
this state. AT an average cost of
$1,000 that would represent an invest
ment in hard dollars of some 5000, O0O,-
900. Does the Banner believe that if
times were so desperately hard as that
paper every week insists does exist
that the people of the state of Wash
ington could indulge,to such an extent
in an expensive luxury, for it must be
conceded that in a vast majority of
cases the possession OF an automobile
is not necessity. At the lowest esti-
mate the upkeep of these gas vehicles
will average SO per month, to say
nothing of depreciation, and yet the
to meet that expense, although most of
the car owners could manage to live
mparatively happy without car. Is
that sign of crushing want?
One of the most certain barometers
indicative OF prevailing conditions is
found in the activities or nonactivities
of the building trades. Never in years
mas there been such a demand for
building material. A few years ago the
saw mills were idle, logging camps
deserted and artisans were out Of en-
ployment. Today the saw mill industry
is running at capacity and in the lar
ger cities building is going on with
feverish activity and it is difficult to
find skilled workmen to fill the posi-
lions open. and that at wages that are
almost unprecedented This may be
a sign of depression in the estimation
of the Banner, yet 1t looks otherwise
to those who do not nurse the idea
that the country has gone to the devil
and will never escape from the evil
ones clutches until another extrav-
agant and incompetent democratic
administration so upsets the business
OF the country that 1t requires several
years of republican rule 10 untangle
the mess.
This constant howl of hard times is

INDUCED in by democratic papers only
to arouse discomfort and grows out OF
strong partizan prejudice. The acts
of providence are charged up against
the republican party, and no matter
what the present administration does
it is wrong in the eyes of our demo-
cratic friends. But then, WHAT'S the
use. The same narrowness has existed
since divisions on public policy first
came in vogue and will so continue
until the crack of doom. Even the Ga
zete has not always been free of polt-
ical bias

OROVHLE TOMATOES.

The Oroville country has been found
to be ideal for the production of to-
matoes. The Oroville Gazette last week
devoted nearly column to the results
that have been obtained from the pro-
ducts of the cannery at that place.
Those who have tried out the Oro-
vile tomatoes know that the Gazette
has not overdrawn on the statements
given.
