Although nearly every article for

as compared witli prices paid on Tor

no less attractive by any diminution
in the number of delicacies that ac

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

It was stated here this morning
that S. B. Crouch, a local hardware
dealer, will bo culled before the
Douglas County grand jury during
its next session to give information
regarding some alleged obstructions
placed In the Cmpqua Hiver In the
vicinity of Scottsburg by commercial
fishermen. Mr. Crouch stated Tues

showing that a number of fishermen
had blocked the I'mpqua River with
the result that salmon were handi
capped in getting up the stream.
Tliis is a violation of the state game

which to base warrants of arrest.
Scottsburg people who spent today In
