NO one knows the silent heartache.

The Pinnacle group is situated

MAKING OF A BAND.

The boys are making no noise about
it, only a noise that listens very
pleasantly, yet they are going steadily
ahead with regular weekly practice
and gradually developing a band that
Will nold Its own In the way of pro-
ducing sweet sounds that will compare
favorably with any Of the bands in the
smaller towns of the state. In almost
every town there is here and there
among the popula tion individuals who
can produce harmony on brass instru-
ments, and when they can be gathered
together under an instructor who
knows how to instruct, and are will
ing to put forth their best efforts in
perfecting themselves at handling
those instruments, a band is the re-
suit, its ability to perform resting
largely upon tn ability of the in
structor to teach. Oroville is fortu-
nate in having an instructor that has
few superiors in taking raw material
and working it into a harmonious
and efficient combination. That in
structor is Frank Bartel,, VINO Is a
clever instrumentalist himself. with
the patience, PERSEVERANCE and push
to accomplish wonders in this labor
of band organization. There was Il
time when Oroville could boast of a
band that could be excelled only by
those of the largest cities. Then Mr..
Bartell was the leading sp;rit Of the
l.
able to evolve a band out Of the pres
ent membership that will fill the place
of the band we were all 80 proud of.

sity OF events and a man or woman
would be hard to please II he or she
failed to find something In the list to
please. This is probably the most am
bilious celebration of the national
natal day that has ever been attempt
ed in the county and without a doubt
the attendance will be the largest
ever seen at similar event of the
kind within the boundaries of the
county. 1t Is to be expected that Oro-
vile Will be represented at Okanogan
on the occasion with a large delega-
tiOn.

FORCE CHANGES
J. A. Casad Resigns rs Assistant and
W. J. Coy Fills Vacancy Com.
mencing the FirstOf July.

G. J. Casad, who has been filling the
position of assistant in the local post
office for the past three years or more
has handed In his resignation to take
effect July 1st and w. J. Coy has
been appointed by Postmaster Samson
to fill the vacancy. Owing to the run
ming schedule of trains mails arrive
In Oroville ats night and leave very
early in the morning. Besides, this Of
flee Is the general distributing point
for large consignments of mail. This
arrangement requires much night
work, late hours In the evening and
very early hours in the morning. Mr..
Casad has been steadily ON the job
during the long period that he has
been connected with the office, never
missing day while in health. He
claims that he feels that he Is COM
pletely worn out and that it is abso-
lutely necessary that he have a long
rest and change of occupation, al
though he has nothing definite In
sight Casad will be missed by the pat
rons of the office. He has had much
experience in the postal service and
he is very accurate and efficient hand
ling the mails. Moreover. he is unu-
sually patient and accommodating
with the public, and the public is an
exacting master. and always good ma
tured and genial. which has made him
very popular among all classes. There
is to be another change In the office
arrangements. Clem Hart has secured
the contract for carrying the mail be-
tween the post office and the depot,
work that has been done by A. l..
Kitching, and will deliver the mail
coming in over the Oroville-W Wenatchee
branch to the postoffice at midnight
instead of in the morning as has been
the custom. With this arrangement
the night man. Mr.. Coy. will have the
mail distributed when the office opens
in the morning.

A STRING OF BEAUTIES.

,, Say: did you see that exhibition of
rainbow trout In the display window
of the Oroville Commercial Company's
store Monday? 1t was enough to make
the heart of any lover of the gentle
sport Of angling go pitapat and awaken
the desire to grab a pole and line and
rush off to the nearest waters that it
is alleged fish haunt. In this instance,
one could ring in the over worked
description "speckled beauties and
not abuse the words. The catch was
made Sunday by Beverley Powell, and
while he had to go long way for
them, and undergo some hardship.
they were well worth going long
distance for with the hardships
thrown in. His partner of the trip
was Clyde Hicks, but the extent Of
Mr.. Hicks piscatorial prowess Is not
known, but is presumed to have been
equally as fortunate. The water from
wlich these rainbow trout were
snatched is known as Whitewater lake
and the lake is situated far off the
beaten path above and beyond tle
Nickle Plate mine, at Headley, B. c.
In order to reach the fishing ground it
is necessary to leave car ten miles
from the lake and make the balance of
the journey on foot, or hoseback, and
as the young men from Oroville pre-
ferred riding to walking, horse was
the means used to connect them up
vita the lake. They found the fishing
to be such as to amply reward their
strenuous efforts.
The young men were surprised to
see a state Of affairs existing there
which would not long continue to ex-
ist If the game warden Of that part
Of the province knew what was going
on. They report that Indians were
found camped at the lake engaged in
seining the fish, and in such way
that the fish had absolutely no chance
of escape. The fish run up very
small stream emptying into the lake
for the purpose of spawning. Indians
throw a net across this stream and
snair so many of those big rainbow
trout that they are able to pitchfork
them out of the water in piles. In
dians are not alone guilty Of thus
despoiling the lake, as white men, that
is not extremely white, are alleged to
be engaged in the same ruthless slaugh-
ter of these game fish. II halt is
not put to this method of taking the
fish In few years the lake will be
depopulated.

PROPOSITION TO OIL STREETS.

For some time the citizens Of Oro-
vile have been considering the feas-
ibility of oiling the streets in lieu OF
watering. and when E. X. HoOse and
X. A. Jackson were in Spokane re-
Gently they inspected streets of that
city that had been oiled, and the work
was so satisfactory that they induced
Arthur E. Velguth. connected vita the
company that did the oiling, to visit
Oroville and make a proposition to
the citizens for oiling the streets of
this place. Responding to the invita-
ton Mr.. Velguth arrived in Oroville
last week and attended a meeting of
the Commercial Club held last Thurs
day evening. Mr.. Velguth explained
how oiling streets not only laid the
dust but preserved the Highways and
gave an estimate Of the cost of oiling
the graded streets of OrOville, includ-
ing some 20 blocks. The first cost
would amount to some $4,000. The
oiling would have to be repeated for
the next two years, each Oiling at a
slightly reduced cost. Mayor Teas be-
ing present stated that he would cali
a special meeting of the council for
Friday evening to take into cOnsidera-
ton the proposal. The presiding Off
Ger of the Club appointed committee
Of three, composed of F. v. Covert,
R. A. Jackson and j. F. Samson to
meet with the council and consider
the pronosition. The council met Fri
day evening, Mr.. Covert and Mr.. Jack
son of the committee being present
AS the mail comes in from Marcus on
Friday evenings Postmaster Samson,
the other member of the committee,
was unable to attend. After discussing
the propositions especially from the
angle of finance, 1t was decided that
the town was not in position at this
time to meet the cost However, 1t
was decided to later consider the sub
iect thoroughly and If possible pro-
vide in next years budget for meeting
the expenses of street oiling.. for ev-
cry one realized the fact the streets,
owing to the heavy traffice over them,
were gradually wearing out and that
oiling would become necessary as a
preservative, to say nothing of the
elimination Of the dust nuisance.
