HERE IS OPPORTUNITY.

What this town is sOrely in need OF
at the present time is a first class
tailor and a steam laundry. The gen
tleman who has filled the dual role OF
tailor and laundryman has shaken the
dust Of Oroville from his feet ana
sought new pastures. That was his
privilege and right, as 1t Is the rlght
and privilege Of any man who can
better himself. But his going leaves the
field open for men of experience ana
capacity in those lines. AS an encour-
agement for any tailor looking for an
opening or laundryman desiring to
enter one of the best towns in eastern
Washington without the convenience
of a modern laundry it can be stated
that the gentleman who has given up
those lines has no reason to regret
coming to Oroville from a financial
point of view. A tailor who knows his
business and laundry man who can
give satisfaction by the york ne turns
out will be able to build up a large
paying business in this place. II
those who take advantage of this op'
portunity are not proficient, then il
they fail, they will have no one tt
blame but themselves. The openings
are here and it is hoped that the righ
people may speedily fill the vacancies
vern Bales, formerly resident o
Oroville and now living at Okanogai
was a visitor In town Monday shakin,
hands with his old friends.

A SLIGHT BLAZE.

The alarm of fire turned on shortly
after noon, Saturday, was caused by
the discovery of fire in the roof OF
the small building on Central avenue
between Main and Spokane streets,
formerly the office of the West Oka-
hogan Valley Irrigation district. now
used as a residence by o. r. Chalker,
which was fortunately extinguished
before the fire apparatus reached the
scene. A stove pipe chimney lad
blown down and the fire igriited from
that cause. The blaze was discovered
by Mrs. Fisher, living in the frame
building formerly occupied by the
Gazette, and she sent two young boys
scurrying over to notify the family,
ignorant of the impending danger.
After some difficulty Mr.. Chalker
managed to get upon the roof and a
bucket of water or two extinguished
the flames that were just getting a
fair start. AS stiff breeze was blow
ing at the time few minutes more
and the fire would nave secured such
start as to wipe out the premises.

MET WITH SERIOUS LOSS.

Recently S. G. Manweiler met with
very heavy loss when he had some
1875 sleep'lie within 24.hours and from
causes for which there are no ac-
counting beyond the certainty that
death was caused by some kind or
poison, whether from weed or
whether poison was deliberately set
out for the purpose of killing the
sheep Mr.. Mainweiler is not able to
say. The sheep were being fed a short
distance south Of town and one morn
ing going down to the band Mr.. Main
weller found the dead animals scat
tered about. A veterinarian was sent
for from Tonasket, but he was not
able to make any satisfactory state,
ment other than that in his opinion
the sheep had died from poison. A
state veterinarian was sent for. He
came, gave very superficial examin-
alton and according to Mr.. Mainweilei
did not even take away any OF the
viscara in order to have it aEllyzed sc
as to discover the nature OF the poison
| If we are correctly informed, theT
| the action of this official is an In
stance where it developed that some
money could be saved the tax payers
| if this branch of the state service was
| eliminated. OF course the sheep Were
moved to other feeding grounds, bu
| the loss already sustained falls leav
| ily upon Mr.. Mainweiler who has hat
a hard time keeping his head abov'
water during the past few years.

OROVTIE WASHINGTON FRIDAY, MARCH 16. 1928
FAR FROM BEING DEFUNCT.

Last Friday the Gazette contained
legal notice that came all the way
from Edingurgh, Scotland, in which 1t
was set forth that one James Walker
Turner, at one time resident Of Oro-
VILE. was to be declared defunct un-
less his whereabouts could be legally
established. The very next day J. V.
Johston walked into the Gazette office
and stated that he knew James Walk
er Turner we'll and had met him on
the streets of Seattle only some two
or three weeks ago, and at that time
Mr.. Turner was in the best of health
and expected to spend the winter in
Seattle. Mr.. Johnston further stated
that Mr.. Turner formerly lived on
land now owned by MIR. Holletts, To-
Gated in the valley, and that he work.
ed for a time in OrOville at black
smithing. Subsequently Mr.. Turner
took up a homestead on Toats Coula
creek. which he afterwards sold to
Mr.. Lynch. This office has started out
letters of inquiry in the hopes OF get
ting in touch with Mr.. Turner.

CHARMING ENTERTAINMENT.

If is a habit of the local press In
mentioning school entertainments to
declare the last to be the best ever,
and sometime the writer Is justified
by tae character of the performance
often swayed by desire to tickle the
performers. We have no hesitency in
saying that in past years the pupils
of the Oroville schools have put on
some excellent and most creditaple
entertainments that would compare
favorably with anything OF the same
nature attempted in the schools
of the largest cities. wnere there Is
large amount of material to select
from. Now without partical OF ref
lection upon the merits Of past efforts
It must be acknowledged that the oper-
eta given by the young people OF the
high school at the high school auditor
ium last Friday evening was In every
respect equal to the best entertain
ment the schools nave ever put on,
and in some respects surprising ror-
mer efforts. 1t was charming little
musical playet. Every one taking part
had his or her lines letter perfect. the
stage background was very neatly
arranged which added to the
general affect Of the performance.
The hall was crowed by an appreciat-
! i've audience. The affair in it's entirity
was a credit to all taking part, and
especially to Miss Yule. the music
teacher. to whom is due much praise
for the manner in which the children
vera trained for the event.

IMPROVE TELEPHONE SERVICE.

Charlie Brickbill, the man who has
the responsible duties of ironing out
all the telephone troubles that bob up
in the county, was in town several
days during the past week making
radical changes in the receivers and
transmitters in use among the patrons
of the company in Oroville. The old
receivers were of the Western Elec-
trio make and answered the purpose,
but the Pacific Telephone company
is spending oodles Of money placing
the system up-to-date wherever the
system reaches with the aim OF giving
the best service that telephone lines
are capable of supplying. The new
receivers are of the standardized
brand turned out by the American
Telephone and Telegraph company
and are the same that are in use OF
all long distance lines. Mr.. Brickbil
| made &c changes in Oroville, which
represented some investment ant
some work.

Much excitement was created on
Main street Sunday afternoon when
Jack Flanningan and Frank Myers,
while under the influence Of liquor got
into a difficulty with Ed. Burden,
proprietor of the pool hall In the old
Wickersham building during which
Flanningan walked behind the count
er and struck Mr.. Burden in the face,
breaking his eye glasses and bruising
his nose. Not being able to find the
marshal Deputy Sheriff Weldon was
sent for. That officer soon had the
guilty persons under arrest and locked
up in the detention room at the immi-
grafton office. Flanningan and Myers
appeared before Justice Of Peace He'd
ley Monday morning, plead guilty, the
former of assault and the latteer OF
distributing the peace. Flanagan was
filmed the slight sum OF $75 and
cost, while Myers got off with fine
of s25 and costs. The prisoners were
Iremanded to the county Jail until the
fines were paid and Monday afternoon
Sheriff Wilson drove up to Oroville
and conveyed them to Okanogan.

BIG SHEET IRON CONTRACT.

The following item taken from the
Wenatchee World would indicate that
sheet iron is going to enter largely
into the construction Of the White
stone Flat irrigation system, which
means durability and the best of SER
vice. The item does not say how
much of the order goes to the neigh
boring enterprise, but as the White
stone project covers the greater num-
ber of acres it is presumed that the
bulk of the shipment will go to that
enterprise:
"By far the largest order for sheet
iron ever placed in North Central
Washington mas just been secured by
Wells & Wade from the Whitestone
Irrigation district and the Wolf Creek
Irrigation district. This Is 100000
pounds OF 27 gauge galvanized sheet
| iron which will be used for lining the
fumes on the two projects. This or
der will fill 12 freight cars and ship
ments are already on the way from
the mill near Chicago, where tnis pro
duct is made. Deliveries are to %
made during the months Of March
April, May and June. as work on thu
two projects progress. The total cos
of the entire shipment will be abou
3,000." -.

nuity of auto builders mas discovered
to contribute to comfort and conven-
ience. II we knew how to run car

VISIT OF CHURCH WORKER.

Rev. Fl. ]. Oberholtzer, of Tacoma,
state director of religious education in
the Episcopal church spent some days
in Oroville during the past week hold
ing meetings with Sunday school
teachers, the trustees of the church
and preaching Sunday morning. Mr..
Oberholtzer is an earnest and faith
full worker in the field to which he
has been assigned and wherever he
visits the church membership feels, If
it does not take, a more vigorous in
terest in church activities after listen
ing to his messages. His time and aim
is devoted to getting childreL - touch
WITH church Influence, an Influence
without which few children grow up
to man or woman's estate worth their
salt. all the sophistry of those oppos
ed to religion notwithstanding.
With the touch of spring during the
past week the alternating public got
out of the holes occupied during the
winter and the town presented more
lively appearance with the sidewalks
and streets lined with pedestrians ant
autos.

SPARRiNG FOR REDUCED RATES.

The Wenatchee World for Tuesday
contains the following item OF much
interest to the growers of the Okla
hogan valley:
.,W F. Ramsey of Oroville returned
Monday from Tacoma where he at
tended the express rate hearing held
by o. o. Calderhead of the state de-
partment of public works for the In
terstate Commerce Commission. The
original cause of these hearings was
a request for a IL 1-2 per cent In
crease in all express rates by the
American Railway Express company
but the express company has been
placed on the defensive by shippers
from all over the United States who
declare that the present rates are far
too high for the service they are re-
ceiving.
"Mr. Ramsey represented the vege-
table. berry and soft fruit growers OF
the upper Okanogan valley in the vi
cinity of Oroville and TOnasket ana
they strenuously object to the present
rate of S2.1S per hundred for express
shipments to Seattle compared with a
/ rate of $13O per hundred from We
lnatchee. They ask that the Oroville
rate be equalized with the Wenatchee
rate.
Tons and tons of tomatoes, peppers
berries and other perishable produce
rotted on the ground last summer be.
lcause it was impossible to ship them
|out properly. When it is realized thai
a single crate Of tomatoes costs $l.5'
to ship to Seattle it can readily Dc
seen that the rate is prohibitive.
I'VE tried shipping in car load lott
by freight but it took eight days fol
a car to get to Seattle and IA days t
Montana points so that the produce
lcontained in them had spoiled on th
way and we had to pay the freight be
sides. After that experience We decid
ed that it would pay better to let tn
fruit rot on the ground than to pa
the Great Northern to let 1t rot u
Transit.
I'VE do not know what the resul
of the hearing will be but strong dele
cation of growers from all over tn
northwest was present and all test
> fled that the rates are too high to pei
init them to live"

BOY SCOUTS CONTEST

Last week there was on display in
the windows OF SCOTS Garage the
handiwork of the local troupe OF Boy
Scouts. There were three exhibits, one
camp scene in the woods, very pref
tily arranged by the Eagle Patrol.
Another representing a log cabin In
the woods turned out by the Wolf
Patrol. A third collection of interest
ing objects, such as drawings, the
Morse code, the various knots that
the boys learn to tie, sections OF wood
with the names of the trees from
which the specimens were taken and
other objects the making of which is
a part of the education of the Scouts.
This exhibit was put on by the Beaver
Patrol. Singly and collectively tle
exhibit was most creditable. The pic
ture Of camp life and the cabin in the
woods were well conceived and those
who constructed the same showed
both skill and taste. Five judges were
chosen to pass upon the merits of tle
work and decide which they consider
ed to be the best. The judges were Sc
| lected by the boys, and one judge did
not know who the other judges were
to be. These judges were instructed
not to consider the ideas as presented
/ by the architects of the exhibits but tC
confine tneir findings solely to the
| exhibit that displayed the greater
amount of workmanship. Every judge
selected the Beaver Patrol as the su
perior display of the three. When the
exhibit was put on it was understood
that the losers were to give supper
to the winners of the contest, and tina
supper is to take place this Frida!
evening, the Eagles and the Wolves
supplying the provender.

LITTLE, BUT VERY VALUABLE

We were almost knocked blind FIJI
fday last When visiting the First Nat
iional bank when s. b. Starrett, Jr.,
vice president of the institution. re-
uNsested us to look at that as ne
stuck out what to all appearances
was an ordinary S. or $40 bill. There
was nothing peculiar about the bank
note except the figures and they READ
"$l 900" One thousand dollars IN one
bunch, and a slip OF paper so small
that you could slip it in your watch
pocket. 1t is not often that $l,ooo
bills flutter around a country bank,
for the average citizen is not in the
habit of receiving or carrying around
bills of that denomination. 1t was sooo
to look at, any way, even II We coaaq
not get away with 1t and indicateo
that the community is not entirely on
the financial rocks.

A GRAND SUCCESS.

The benefit dance given in the Dull
warehouse at Ellisforde Saturday
night for the widow and two children
of a man who recently died leaving
those dependent upon him almost pen
nyless, was very largely attended. The
crowd was one of the largest that has
ever attended dance in the valley
outside of the towns. The cause was
one that everybody felt like patroniz-
ing. Oroville, We are pleased to state,
was very literally represented in t1e
crowd. Everything, including the mu-
sic and the supper was donated and
all that was made was net gain. 1t
is understood that nearly 5000 were re-
allied from the dance. and this has
been turned over to the worthy bene-
| ficiaries.

d. Thorndyke, who owns 65 acres of
choice land under the West Okanogan
Valley Irrigation system, at LAUDER
gulch. and who has spent the winter
in Hillyard, drove overland in his car
from Hillyard to Oroville last week
accompanied by his son. He came
through by the way of Wenatchee. He
found it pretty hard shedding in places
going through snow cuts six to seven
feet deep 30 miles out from Hillyard.
1t is Mr.. Thorndyke's intention to put
out 1000 trees this spring which will
complete the planting of his entire
tract to fruit. In few years the
Thorndyke ranch is going to be one
of the snow places of the valley.
