SCHOOL NOTES.

| One more year of our youth has
gone, and now we are anxiously await
ing our fate. which Will be disclosed
when we receive our report cards.
The Juniors have been spending
their time decorating the assembly.
for Glass Day and Commencement.
The colors are pink and white.
Commencement exercises will be
held Friday, May %, at the II. S. at
1900. All are urged to be present. A
program will appear in another pa~'
of this paper.
Final exams were given on Wednes
day and Thursday. The Seniors were
very much elated because they were
excused from the physics exam. We
wish we were all Seniors.
The Senior play was success. both
in the way it was given and In
nances.
Tuesday was one of the gala days
| in school, as the enjoyable Glass Day
| exercises were held. Each class had a
stunt. with the poor little Seniors as
victims. The Freshies gave their Opin-
| ion of the Seniors which was not al
| ways flattering The Seniors, hoping
to get their revenge. gave their opinion
of the Freshies. The Junior stunt wac
snort play giving look into the
future of the Seniors. Some of the
Junior boys took the parts of the SEN
| ior girls and looked so life-like that
lthey thought there must be two of them
selves. The Sophs had a very funny
| and interesting stunt. They presented
each Senior with a very appropriate
graduation gift. The Senior will and
| prophecy was very mucn enjoyed.
The Seniors turned out to $3.50
waffle breakfast Tuesday morning at
| the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Bullock.
Everyone reported a most enjoyable
| time. The Seniors have all the luck

esting exhibit at Ma'ttson's store

The teachers will be leaving soon
and we are sorry to see them go, as
this has been an enjoyable year Some
of the teachers are coming back next

wish them the best success possible
wherever they are, and hope they will
think of Oroville and come back again
Things We Have Learned this Year.
A sound argument isn't always the
one tnat makes the most noise.
Fools step out when wise men go tt
bed.
The garbage man makes his living
by the yard and gets paid by the scent
Love-the only evening cereal or
the market.
A miss is as good as a mile, IL yot
are that far away from her.
Love may make some people wise
but the majority marry anyhow.
A girl will not complain il her shoes
shine. or if her eyes SHINE, but let he
nose shine and powder at once begins
to fly.
A senior is measured by one-tentl
his own estimation.
The grades of the transgressor II

could be.
AS this is the last school notcs 70
/ this year, we wish to bid you all fare
well. We hope you have enjoyed a
least some of our feeble attempts t.
say sometaing. Thank you.

AN OLD LAND MARK.

The building destroyed by fire Sun
day. or so bady disfigured that It is
the hegira occurred that started ev-
cry body hustling from the old town
to the north side of the railroad track
or point on the south side close in
to the railroad tracks. houses were
picked up bodily and moved into new
positions. Fred Clark and |. N. Wick
ersham did most of the house moving,
and this building was among the first
put upon the skids. 1t has served it's
purposes nobly from the view point
of income from rentals during the
past Is or 16 years.

NOT HERE FOR THEIR HEALTH.

When such strong financial COM
panies as the Standard Oil and Union
Oil break into Oroville they are in
vesting for the future more than for
the present. People at the lead of in
stitutions such as those are not in
the habit of making mistakes. They
give a place careful investigation be-
fore taking chance Indeed they take
no chance. They are not in business
for their health, except for the health
of tne bank roll and when they pick
out town in which to install such
large plants as are in operation here
it is safe gamble that town has fu-
ture. 1t would be well for other COM
panies catering to the public wants
to secure foothold here while foot
holds are cheap and easy to get.

SOMEWHAT ROUGH GOING.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. w. Turpin, who
went to Seattle Tuesday for the pur-
pose Of securing two Ford cars for
s '"tt's garage, returned home Satur-
day evening driving the cars. They
were on the road for three days. The
going over Blewett and Snoqualime
passes is not altogether smooth sail
ing. Mrs. Turpin reports that while
the road is open over Snoqualime pass
the snow is banked up on both sides
of the road to height of some Is feet,
and the road itself is icy in places.
The west side of Blewett pass is also
in bad condition for travelling. Gangs
of men are working on both passes
putting the road in as good condition
as possible under the circumstances.

EXPERIMENTING WITH OIL.

AS demonstration on a small scale
as to what effect oil will have upon
dust anchorage, Scotty, of the Ford
Garage, has been smearing small
section of Main street in front of the
garage with lubricant during the past
week. II is alleged that the oil used
is not the regulation street oil or
what is used where streets are oiled,
but in this instance It is doing pretty
well as a dust reducer, although the
surface sprinkled is limited in extent.
Oil or water must be applied on a
large scale and the sooner it Is done
the sooner great nuisance will be
abated.

the Club was functioning and the pur-
pose of the meeting is to start things
doing. Every business man. profess
sional man and craftsman in town
should make it point to be present
at this meeting Much can be accomp-
lished by united front, and nothing
can be accomplished unless effort is
