POLICE ARREST 10 FOR FREQUENTING
(continued From First Page).

|
 geants William McCue and Patrick
 McAvay.
 l Arriving there the raiding party 1 vas joined by Feeny and O'Mara and the proprietor and his 10 customers
 arrested. A few round tables left from the old saloon, several glasses,
 a half case of oranges a half case of
 apples, some soap and soap powder was found. A supply of cash in the
 till indicated a prosperous days bus mess.
 The storage supply was found to be an ingenious device. A square cop per tank, about 4 inches deep was fixed in wall on the second floor. Betweer E and 20 feet of copper tubing ran through the wall to the cellar. In the cellar were some wood en shelves piled up with boxes and other articles. One flat board, do- ing duty as a partition in the shelf was found to contain a small groove on it's edge, which was entirely hid den by half inch strip of wood, nailed at the top to give it spring like tension, holding 1t in place.
 Under this half inch spring strip was the end of the copper pipe, and attached to the pipe was small valve which opened when pressed in a push button style. To draw out liquor 1t was necessary simply to insert a finger under the edge of the board, 'press the button." and the contents would flow into glass held below the shelf. At all times, all portions of the tank and pipe were entirely out of sight. The tank holds approxi- mately five gallons and was found to be about half full.
 The II men were loaded onto the patrol wagon with the six policemen and taken to police headquarters where a scurry began to raise the sl00 bail demanded for the fre- quenters. The raid occurred between 12 and 1 o'clock and at the time of going to press. the proprietor and the majority of his friends had not yet secured bail.
 Woman Creates Scene
 There were some stirring scenes at 1 the police station following the raid. One woman, wife Of a man under ar rest, attempted to argue Chief of Police Hart into releasing her hus- band without bail. Upon refusal she told the chief he could have the rest of the family and start ed off without her two children, whom she rudely showed towards tho chiefs private office
 Detective Feency and Patrolman Lyons barred the door and compelled the woman to return for her children before permitting her to leave the police station.
 Most of the frequenters are said by the police to have been arrested be- fore and either are former saloon- keepers or ex-bartenders. This is the lrst arrest of frequentcrs made by the local police department and follows Inc precedent established by the ar rest by state police at the southing- on Inn.

Every year beginning with 1928 will con- sist of 13 months instead of 12 if astronomers have their way at the league of nations committee meeting on calendar revision next year.

CONGRATULATIONS, OROvILLE.

In an Interview published in the
Wenatchee World of Monday, Ralph

penditures at Oroville we want to 90
into the situation there more thor
oughly, and will do so little later"
That is about the best news that las
come to Oroville for some time. We
shall not anticipate what President
Budd has in store for Oroville, but
evidently the railroad contemplates
making extensive improvements here.
On the eve of our leaving We rejoice
with our fellow townsmen upon the
prospect of rehabilitation of Orc.
vile that the Gazette has so long pre-
dicted. We would urge that our bust
ness men get together through The

mittee of reception when th, railroad
officials reach here, extend all the
courtesies possible and urge such
changes that will prove of benefit both
to the road and the community.

THE NEW PROPRIETOR.

Saturday the Gazette will be turned
over the new proprietor, Mr.. Frank S.
Emert, of Nelson. Mr.. Emert hardly
needs an introduction to our people,
as during the several years that he
has been in the newspaper game at
Nelson he has visited Oroville quite
frequently. But We wish to pay the
young man small tribute that his
merits deserve. He is an ex-service
man man who gave up his business
and enlisted as soon as war was de-
clared. That fact alone should be rec
ommendation enough for any commu-
nifty. But in addition to his American
ism Mr.. Emert is as clean a young
man as mas ever cast his fortunes in
this county. He has ability, is hust-
Ter, will be found always courteous
and accommodating, and he is blessed
with that grandest asset in life
youth. He is married, has a child
and his wife is an admirable lady and
invaluable helpmate Oroville is q
gamer by Mr.. Emert coming here and
we trust our citizens will extend him
a hearty welcome and far more gen
eral support than has been given the
| retiring publisher.
