BIG DINNERS DE SPITE HIGH COST THANKSGIVING WILL BE CELE BRATED BY HOSERUHG FAM ILIES AS USUAL, ALTHOUGH PRICES SHOW COST .MUCH GREATER THAN FORMERLY. PRICES NOT A CONSIDERATION Birds and HcriK's and Otlu't Fixing Cost Murh loit! Tlinu in Other Years, As is Shown hy a Comparison, Although nearly every article for the Thanksgiving table is higher in price than has been the case for years, and while some of the indis pensables are fairly "out of sight," as compared witli prices paid on Tor mer occasions, Roseburg will never theless suffer no lack of the home cooked" turkey and the bird will be no less attractive by any diminution in the number of delicacies that ac company it. Turkeys already secured from the local dealers have cost no less than three cents a pound more than last year s. Other articles show that the cost of the 1916 dinner will exceed that of 1915 by a considerable amount, provided, however, it is fully as elaborate and comprehensive In the matter of things in season as usual. But despite the higher cost. social gatherings as large and nu merous as ever are scheduled. . Even those who feared Democratic times have not lost enthusiasm nor have they been discouraged from honoring the festive occasion be cause the increased cost of the out lay. Among those who have thus made elaborate preparations in the face of the adverse conditions are Sheriff Qtiine, C. L. Selecman, J. H. Doolh, A. J. Geddes, J. W. Perkins, A. J. Lilburn, A. N. Orcutt, A. J. Bel lows, R. W. Marsters, Dr. K. L. Mil ler and many others. Nearly every family will dino sumptuously, either at (heir own home or with friends or relatives. Last year sugar reached only $5.88 wholesalo at the Thanksgiving time, while this year the figure is $8.45. Cheese that sold at 1 5 V4 cellls a pound is now 26 cents, while but ter is nearly 10 cents higher per pound. The wholesale price on beans is now $11 a sack, whereas formerly it was $6. .Most of the staple articles are considerably higher, as is shown by similar comparisons, although it is expected that reductions will oc cur soon as was in the case of Hour recently. Fresh eggs are very scarce and high. WHIPP RECITAL WAS ATTENDED BY A BIG ' CROWD LAST EVENING The Monthly Music Club, in bring ing Hart ridge Whipp to this cily In recital Inst, night, has set. for itself a standard not easily to be main tained. Itoseburg has not before heard such singing as the singing of Hartridge Whipp. nor such accomp anying ns the accompanying of Mrs. Whipp. I have heard far lighter and less interesting programs given in the concert halls of Eastern music centers. From Antonio Caldara to Balnbridge Crist every member lent Itself harnionlonsly to the program structure nothing threadbare, noth ing ultra-modern; Vocally, Mr. Whipp Is equipped by Nature and training as are few young singers. Intensely dramatic and fervid, he sends the hot blood throb- blng through your veins or the cold chills chasing up your back al his pleasure. He seemed equally at home In the broad majesty of Handel's Kclplo Aria, the whimsical humor of "Tommy Lad." the tender warmth of the "Vision Fugitive," the chill tragedy of "Dannq Doevor;' and the "Erlkonig." He was a pianissimo vital and clear, a fortissimo amide and thrilling, a tone at all limes flawless In emission and pleasing In 'quality. In short, he Is nn artist and need not fear comparison with the best American baritones. I want to hear Hartridge Whipp and Mi". Hartridge Whipp again. X. E. W. Ryan and wife left for Oak land this afternoon to spend their Thanksgiving with relatives. Miss Vera Horner and Miss Mabel Miller left for Corvallis today, where they will spend the next few days with the former's parents. In the final checking of shipments of turkeys from Itoseburg for the Tnanksgiving markets, it was found lhat the people's Supply Co. handled the largest shipmcnls, totalling U?, crates, or about 2xoo birds. The other dealers handled about i i crates, not Including some snmllcr 'shipments to local buyers. APARTMENT HOUSE MAY BE ERECTED IN ROSE BURG, SAYS ARCHITECT 4.
