OFFICE TWO BLOCKS NORTH OF THE BEROV
Oroville Weekly Gazette
. By the
GAZETTE PUBLISHING COMPANY
Frank M. Dallam. Fred J Fine.
Editor. Bus. Manager
Issued Every Friday. ll.oOayear
Entered at the pottoffire at Oroville. Washing
ton. as second clt»s matter
BRIEFLY ANNOUNCED.
As has been announced in former
issues of this paper I hare become a—
sociated with Mr. Fred J. Fine in the
publication of the Oroville Gazette,
the partnership arrangements taking
place the Ist of March.
I come not as an entire stranger to
make my home in Oroville,*for during
ray long residence in Loomis I have
visited the place often, and have noted
its growth from an almost uninhabited
waste to a flourishing incorporated
town with a very flattering future.
Familiar with its location, surround
ings and the possibilities of the re
sources tributary under systematic and
vigorous development. I feel that I
am not new to the work of assisting in
promoting the further growth of town
and country, and can bend the modes'
ability at my command in aiding to
further the advancement Ota* looaiitv
that has real merit to justify and en
courage such labors. Many of the
older residents I have Ion? known, and
trust that acquaintance may speedily
include every member of the commun
ity. and that such acquaintance will be
lasting and mutually pleasant
It is not the purpose at this time to
make any rash promises for the future,
or occupy space dwelling upon the
course that may he pursued treating
genera! and local issues. It is enough
to know that the policies of the Ga
zette will undergo no radical change.
In the past it has stood for the best in
terests of the community, and that
lovalty to the town in which it is pub
lished will continue to be its motto.
By the combined efforts of the part
ners it is believed that it will be pos
sible to issue a more complete local
paper, and to that end our energies
wil! be bent, trusting tha' those efforts
| will be crowned with success, and meet
with the cemmendation andenoo u
| ment of the public.
Frank M. Dalla.m.
To the Old Prospector Reader:.
i In the consolidation of the Palmer
! Mountain Prospector, formerly pub-
I lisbed at Loomis, with the Oroville
i Gazette I desire to notify the old pa-
I trons of the former publication that it
will he the purpo-e of the publishers
of 'his paper to give all the authentic
news obtainable relative to the Palmer
mountain district, and the various oth
er mining districts of the northern
part of the county. Oroville is as near
the greater number of mining enter
prises in a partial state of development
as Loomis, and they are more accessi
ble from this place, owing to the ad
vantage of railroad facilities I' u irr.-
portant to Oroville that these mines
should be thoroughly exploited, and
placed on a producing basis, as Orc
'Hie ie destined to reap large and ma
teria! benefits from the mi n i n g inciu
try of the immediate neighborhood.
Hence it will be seen that it is a ma»-
ter of community. *s well a? personal,
interest that every reliable source of
information should be utilized in gi- -
lug wide publicity and prominence *-■
this great tributary resource
My object in mentioning the fact
that mining will receive the attention
that its importance deserves through
the columns of the Ga:ettl is for the
purpose of holding as many as possible
of the eastern subscribers to the Pro.
PECTOR. who took that paper on ac
cent of tfce mining mforma'ion i'
contained.
While giving such .pace to mining
a- the importance of the subject i- en-1
• titled to. the Gazettl will not lose J
■ sight of the various other resources
that promise to ciea’* 5 wealth for those
engaged in their de - elopment. and
that will aid in boosting Oroville to
the prominence that its natural po
sition on the map insures it- reaching.
The glowing and ambitious town is in
the centre of the largest and richest
and largest undeveloped scope of coun
try in the state of Washington, and
the present year will witness the be
ginning of a growth that will continue
on indefinitely until the present town
becomes a flourishing city, and the
surrounding country crowded with the
homes of a thri■ ing and contented
people.
The easterner will be interested in
keeping in touch with this spirit of
western progre--. while securing the
mining information -o anxiously de
sired. and I trust the old subscribers
who so long and loyally supported the
Prospector, will transfer their allegi- !
ance to the Gazette.
