SUCCESSFUL ENTERTAINMENT.

The last number of the Lyceum
course was given at the high school
building Monday evening In the shape
of play put on by the higa school
students entitled Engaged by We'd
nesday," and as usual with entertain
ments presented by local talent the
auditorium was crowded. 1t night be
added without eXaggeration that the
fourth was the best number of the Ly-
ceum course. This may be considered
eXtravagant praise, but the fact Is that
the young people taking part in the
Monday night performance did tnem-
selves proud. Not only did they have
their several parts letter perfect, but
through careful rehearsals they had
mastered the stage tricks and the play
went off smoothly from start to finish.
1t was one of the best efforts in that
line that the pupils have as yet made
and all who were present speak in the
highest terms of the performance. 1t
is not intended to convey the impres
sion that the pupils were up to pro-
fessional standard, yet there have been
professional performances in Oroville
that would not compare in excellency
with the play put on Monday evening
by the hign school students.

DEATH OF ANSON w. COBB

The residents of Oroville were
shocked Thursday morning to learn
that Anson w. Cobb had died the pre-
vious night in the Oroville Hospital
The news was a painful surprise be-
cause only two or three days before
Mr. Cobb was in town and appeared to
be in his usual health, which was not
robust, however, at the best. Tuesday
evening Mr.. Cobb was taken with ac-
cute appendicitis and was at once
rushed to the hospital where DR.. Bevis
operated the same night Wednesday
encouraging, as at that time his con-
dition gave no cause for alarm. We'd
nesday night there was a change for
the worse and the unfortunate man
passed away shortly after the change.
The deceased was between 35 and
40 years of age and leaves wife,
parents and number of relatives and
la multitude of warm personal friends.
He resided upon an orchard tract In
East Oroville, and was one of the most
industrious and progressive orchard
| lists in the valley. Personally he was a
most likeable, affable christian gen.
tleman and his death is deplored by
all who had the privilege and pleasure
of his acquaintance. A man Of sterling
worth, honorable and upright in all
his dealings, devoted husband and q
loyal and kindly neighbor the com.
munity sustains an irreparable loss in
the death of Anson Cobb.
| The deceased was a member of both
the Odd Fellows lodge and Encamp'
ment, taking a keen and active inter
est In both orders, and the funera
will be conducted under the direction
Of those lodges. The funeral is fixed
for 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon, bu
the time may be changed if relative!
who have been notified fail to arrive
in time for the Saturday services.

EX.SERyICE MEN, ATTENTION.

From good authority we nave it that
there are sixty or more ex service men
living in this district, In close touch
with Oroville' who are eligible to
membership in the local Post Ameri-
can Legion, and yet the roster of the
Post carries the names Of only about
one third of that number. 1t should be
pleasurable duty for every ex-ser-
vice man, no matter what branch Of
the service he represents, to join tle
Legion. Not only to keep alive and
cement the comradeship growing out
of the participation in common
cause and common danger, but for
the individual and collective benefit
of all who served in the world war.
Let every ex-service man in the dis
trict wake up and hand in his name
to the local Post, making 1t a going
organization and one OF the livliest In
eastern Washington.

AN AMBITIOUS HEN.

One Of the most singular freaks in
the way of egg production that has
ever come to our notice was discover
ed the latter part of last week. In the
last issue of the Gazette mention was
made of receiving from Med. Hersh-
berger two enormous eggs laid by a
hen. The eggs We're as large as the or
dinary goose egg. In the natural
course of events those eggs were tap
ped for the purpose of garnishing a
breakfast dish of bacon and. Imagine
the surprise of the housewife upon
breaking the outer shell of the big
egg not only to find large yolk on
the inside but also perfect egg some
what smaller than the ordinary sized
hen egg, with a hard shell. Both of
the large hen eggs contained the Sec
ond perfect egg as we'll as yolk. A
poultry fancier of large experience
who nas examined the double egg
stated that he had never heard of a
similar instance. The freak egg is or
exhibition at the Gazette office fol
the inspection of any one with the
curiosity to look it over.

THAT'S WHAT THEY ALL SAY.

NJ. s. Gauthier, of Spokane, a prac-
ticai piano builder. tuner and repair
er, has been interviewing piano own
ers during the week and correcting
defects in number OF the instru-
ments. This Is Mr.. Gauthiers first
visit to Oroville and to one of his pat
rons he was voluble in an expression
of surprise at the appearance of the
town. Tne gentleman had heard of
Oroville, but supposed that it was
merely a small crossroads hamlet,
tucked in an Out-Of-the-way corner of
the state, a place where one went to
with apprehensions of suffering crude
inconvenience, and nursing secret
hope that there would be nothing do
ing so that more congenial stopping
place could be at once sought out He
depressed himself as having been very
pleasantly disappointed, and taxed nis
knowledge of the language to find
words to give utterance to his sur
prise. He was amazed to find one of
the largest, most comfortable and best
kept hotels in any of the smaller towns
|he had visited, with cuisine that can
not be surpassed for the excellency
of the viends and a table service that
cannot be eXcelled in the largest cit
les. He expected to find a postoffice,
a blacksmith shop and possibly a
small general store, and he found
ipaved streets, concrete sidewalks well
stocked stores, fine large garages
handsome bank buildings and town
as near up-to-date as small towns
generally get to be. He thought he
might find a piano or two and was
almost struck dumb when he was in
formed that he would probably find
nearer a hundred. Mr.. Gauthier only
echoes sentiments expressed by many
others who have preceded him a,
the time of their first visits to Orc.

praise reiterated so often that we

WHERE THE BOY SCOUTS SHINE,

Hand 1t to Rev. ID. Vincent Gray and
his troop of Boy Scouts for recogniz-
ing what should be done for commun-
ity improvement and then going to
work and doing it. The Civic League
building and its grounds in the very
center of tle business part of town.
and conception and accomplishment
of the ladies of the community, is one
of the most attractive features of
OrOville. This oasis wins the praise
and commendation of every stranger
visiting the place. 1t is tangible evld-
ence of the enterprise and civic pride
OF the female representatives. of the
poulation. A handsome bungalow
surrounded with forest of trees it
is a blotch of cool, inviting greenery
in summer time attracting the pass
erby to its shady lawn. Every year
when the frosts of fall and winter
denude the trees of their foliage the
grounds are left Uttered with those
dead leaves. Formerly the town mar
shal has put in some, of his spare time
cleaning up this rubbish in the spring,
not as part of his duties but merely
to keep up the appearance of an
attractive feature of the town and to
show that the work of the Civic Leag-
ue is appreciated. For some reason
tlis year this cleaning up process
has been neglected. The grounds
were in a deplorable condition. A mass
Of dead leaves had -accnmulated all
over the premises. The park was a
picture Of neglect and there. was no
one'to take the Initiative In cleaning
up the park. Here is where the Boy
Scouts and their Scoutmaster became
busy. Saturday the members Of the
troop assembled at the park armed
with rakes and forks and as there was
quite squad of willing workers 1t
| did not take long for the lads to re-
move all of tie accumulated debris
leaving the grounds looking as clean
as though they had been swept with a
broom Again is repeated all praise to
the Boy Scouts for a piece Of work
timely undertaken and most effici-
emily carried out.

WHAT'S TO BE DONE ABOUT 1T!

A meeting of the Jtockholder~ of the
Oroville General Hospital was called
for Saturday afternoon at the Civic
League building, but so little interest
was taken by those who originally
contributed toward the construction of
that important local asset that only
some half dozen stockholders were
present, although all had been notified
of the meeting through advertising in
the Gazette and by postal card Either
the old spirit of civic enterprise that
inspired citizens Of Oroville and vicin-
|ty to subscribe literally towar' build
ing an institution that cost upw ards
of $4,000, is as dead as a nail, or
those who did the contributing are
perfectly Indifferent as to III. final
disposition of the property or there
would have been more presen. at this
meeting. The bOndholders permitted
the hospital to go at sherift's sale for
modicum of the value of tle prop
erty, and in addition allowed bills TO
accumulate amounting TO some two
thousand dollars. The time for re-
demption IL redemption is contemplat-
ed has about expired, and the few cit
iZens who came to the rescue and
shouldered the burden of the debt
stan,' to lose out. The handling of this
important piece of property is COM
plex question, and some decision as to
what is to be done must be reached be-
fore long. 1t is up to the stockholders
to decide AS there were not suffi-
cient number of SHARES represented at
the meeting Saturday so those present
voted to adjourn the meeting until
Saturday. April 2S, when 1t IS hoped
there will be larger attendance OF
those interested in the hospital.
