LOSERS PAY THE PENALTY.

In connection with the recent ex-
hibit of the handiwork of the local
Boy Scouts, that decorated the win
dows of G. M. Scott's garage for sever
al days. was attached penalty which
provided that the losers in the contest
were to provide supper for the win
ners. Three patrols, the Eagle, the
Wolf and the Beaver, were the contes-
tants and the unanimous decision Of
the judges awarded the palm to the
Beavers. Living strictly up to the rules
of the game the losers provided the
feed last Friday evening which was
served and partaken of in the Civic
League building with much eclat
and besides large flock of Boy
Scouts the judges of the contest at
the invitation Of the lads sat at the
table as guests. When the prOvender
provided, which was in the nature of
the eats provided in camp, was clean
ed up, Scout Master Rev. d. Vincent
Gray acted as toastmaster. Jack Grif-
fifth. on behalf Of the losers, congratu-
lated the winners upon the eXcellency
OF their work and the award that came
10 them. Joe Riste responded in a few
well chosen words insisting that tle
other patrols would have done better
had they had more time. Little Willie
Peterson welcomed the guests, ex-
pressing the hope that they would suf-
fer no inconvenience from the dinner
provided. Attorney w. E. Grant ack-
nowledged the courtesy of the Boy
Scouts as entertainers, speaking on
behalf of the guests, and his address
was appropriate for tle occasion, both
entertaining and instructive. He paid
high tribute to Mr.. Gray who has
devoted so much of his time to the
organization and urged the boys to SO
shape their lives as to confirm with
the rules and regulations governing
the Scouts as body. 1t was happy
effort on the part of Mr.. Grant and
Judging from the applause that follow
ed the address was enjoyed and fully
appreciated by the lads. After the
speaking the floor was cleared, the
Scouts held a meeting in order that the
guests might obtain some idea Of the
usual proceedings and after settling
that business the boys participated in
games that are a part of the pastimes
in which the Scouts indulge. The en-
tire affair was enjoyed by all those
who had the good fortune to be pres

THEY BRING RESULTS.

Those little Bargain Column" ad-
vertisements are fetchers. If you have
anything to sell the public wants, or
want to buy anything the public wants
to sell you can generally get together
through the medium of the Bargain
Column" OF course that medium is
not infallable, but failures are excep-
tions and not the rule. Tnis fact has
been brought prominently to the fore
during the past few weeks. One ad-
vertiser had lot of beets and carrots
to sell and two days afterward she re-
ported all sold and to discontinue the
advertisement. A party advertised for
washing and was Immediately swamp
ed with orders. Friday last an adver-
tiser offered twentyhead of milk cows
for sale and Monday he ordered the
advertisement discontinued as he lad
sold the cattle. These are only few
Of innumerable instances where the
little advertisements have secured
quick results, and that at cost Of only
few cents.

REUNION OF OLD SCHOOLMATES.

Saturday Rufus Woods, of the We
natchee World, was visitor in town
for few hours, his first appearance
in this zone of the Worlds circulation
for long period. Formerly he was a
frequent visitor in Oroville, but as the
business of the remarkable daily of
which he is so important factor has
ence is required at headquarters. We
use the word remarkable" as applied
to the World deliberately, as its appli-
cation expresses fact, for there is
no town of the same size in the United
States that can boast Of daily paper
that will compare in everything to be
expected from first class daily with
the Wenatchee World. But this is only
repeating what is everywhere freely
acknowledged by the members of the
fourth estate, and has nothing more to
do with Mr.. Woods visit than the
mention of his fortunate connection
with that publication. And that the
World has reached its emminence
among newspapers Is largely due to
the earnest labor and personal super
vision Of this gentleman himself, for
it has required much labor and a long
period of nonproduction, or at least
production SO meagre that it was
problem to support the ghost on his
Saturday walks in that print shop, to
put the sheet on paying basis. That
gloomy period has passed and now the
World Is healthy, paying piece Of
property, thanks largely to Mr.. Woods
| activities.
We found him the same old Rufus,
with much of the same jolly irrespon-
sible gayety Of boyhood, and that
breezy, animated and contagious
chuckle that makes him such COM
panionable and welcome visitor, a
, carefree air indicative of taking the
world as he finds it, yet only ve-
neer to capable, sound, clear-thinking
mind, with a capacity for the unrav-
cling Of the problems Of business, the
possession of sound conviction, with
| the. courage of those convictions, and
an enviable faculty for welding the
pen.
Mr.. Woods had a happy surprise
while here as he met up with c. R.
Burky, engineer in charge Of the
West Okanogan Valley Irrigation sys-
tenn, for 25 years ago Mr. Woods and
Mr.. Burky attended the same high
school back in Nebraska. 1t was a
pleasant reunion for both gentlemen,
for having had much in common in
boyhood days they enjoyed again liv-
ing over those days beyond recall,
when the future glowed with promise
as it glows to every youth upon the
threshold of manhood, the world was
their oyseter, and the accomplish
ments of yesterday were forgotten in
anticipation OF the goal that was to be
reached on the morrow.

Tie local Legion boys are taking
much interest in the circulation Of the
American Legion Weekly, publica-
tion devoted to the interests of the
ex-service men, and a most interesting
publication for the general reader.
Through the solicitations of the To-
cal Post the Oasis has arranged to
keep the magazine on its magazine
counter for sale, and every one inter-
ested in the welfare of the organiza-
ton, and those who constitute the or
ganization, should invest in a copy ev-

A surprise party was given to Miss
Esther Martin, at the home of her
parents in East Oroville, Tuesday
evening, and the time was passed with
music, dancing, games and vocal Sc

ANOTHER LYCEUM COURSE.

James L. White Of Spokane, repre-
senting the Ellison-White Lyceum
Bureau, was in Oroville last week and
made arrangements with the pupils of
the public school to put on another
series of entertainments next fall and
winter to include three numbers to be
supplemented with fourth number to
be put on by the school. following the
course provided during the past year.
Last spring Mr.. Waite closed con-
tract for a Lyceum course with the
school, which was backed by the Com
mercial Club, being so well satisfied
with the manner in which the school
carried on the campaign he felt
willing to accept the school alone as
assurance for the contract price of
the several numbers to be provided,
which was very high compliment to
the teachers and pupils of our school.
The numbers to be presented were
selected by the scholars and they in
clude the following: Opening number,
Patton Bros Trio, vOcalists, to appear
some time in October. Second, a lee
ture by 7. d. Upton, claimed to be one
of the most polished and entertaining
lecturers on the platform today, who
comes next February. Third, Cheney
Concert company, four members, in
strumentalists, some time next March.
(Thi sis not a company from the Che
ney Normal. as might be inferred from
the name, but high class profess
sional troupe) The fourth number
will be some kind of entertainment
framed up by the pupils themselves,

ments in Oroville the fourth number,

new ENTERPRISE
FOR oRov|LLE
Union Oil Company Taking Prelim'u.
ary Steps 10 Establish a Distrib.
uting Station at this Place.

There must be reason for it, and
probably the reason is that Oroville,
owing to its natural location in close
railroad communication with a large
scope Of country, is natural distrib-
uting point, that large companies that
have commodity that enters into
general consumption finds this an
ideal point from which to get into
touch with large territory. The
Standard Oil found this an attractive
location for large distributing sys-
tenn, and now another powerful and
influential rival in the oil game is to
enter the territory according to re-
ports reaching this office and the
evidence of preparation to locate oil
tanks in Oroville.
Tuesday the manager of the Union
lOil company who has charge of the
plant at Omak was in Oroville arrang-
ing for the establishment of dis
tributing station at this place. 1t is
reported that he secured lots on the
south side OF the railroad network of
tracts few hundred feet east of the
depot. The ground nas been surveyed
out by Engineer j.. w. Mutch. 1t is
said that the railroad will put down a
side track to the new oil station. The
gentleman made a contract with Ray
Harding to handle and deliver the ma
terial to be used in the construction
Of the buildings and various tanks
that are to occupy the ground secured
When delivery is to be made and ac-
tual work commenced was not stated.
but from the steps already taken it is
evident that the Union Oil company
will lose no time getting established

AN INTERESTING PUBLICATION

Dan Hayden, of this place, an active
and enthusiastic member of the local
Post American Legion, served in the
navy during the world war. He was
assigned to the U. S. S. San Francisco
and was engaged in the delicate and
dangerous task of mine laying in the
North Sea, where something like
$4,000 OF these terrible engines Of des-
truction were sown for the purpose OF
blocking the way against these mon
sters o fthe sea, the German submar-
inc. Dan had some hair raising ex-
periences, among them narrow escapes
from torpedoes discharged by the un-
der water craft, but that is long
story. Mr. Hayden nas favored us with
copy of the New Hampshire Gazette
published at Portsmouth, N. H., con-
tanning story Of the cruise of the
U. S. s San Francisco, which covers
two pages Of interesting reading. The
paper Is dated January 80, 1919. At
the time the San Francisco was in
Portsmouth harbor and the news boys
sold upwards Of 1000 copies of the
paper on the vessel In mentioning the
New Hampshire Gazette it may be stat
ed that 1t is the oldest paper in Amer
lea, established October II, 1856, and
the copy before us looked as though it
was linked with the same rollers that
were used in 1856 and on the same
kind of an antiquated press, for be-
sides being the oldest paper in Amer
lea 1t is also the poorest printed paper
in America, if this copy is fair sam
pie Of its regular issue.

IMPROVING IRRIGATION SYSTEM.

The irrigation district is doing its
part this spring putting money In
circulation, money that is helping out

fitting large squad of workers wac
otherwise would be without an in

ed on the bitches and fumes, streng-
thening the system and assisting to
put it in permanent shape. A majority
of these workers are men who hold

is a great help to them. The pay roll
for March will run over $4,000 and
that amount will supply multitude
of wants while assisting to keep the
wheels Of business fabricated.
