tieed. No more rough talk is heard
In the shop and the men are more
courteous, the barbers declare..
Although some barbers say that
It takes just as Long to shingle bob
i wpmau's hair ns It docs to shave
i man and cut his hair, others arc
of the opinion that if a woman
comes to the shop with her hair
straight und clean It is not so, even
ihoiigh a ladies shingle is more dif
ficult than a man's hair cut. Wo
men are eglltng educated to where
they know what they want when
they come to the shop. At fli:t
they wvre niori' or less a nuisance
lo the barber because liny did Iioi
know hat kind of u hair cut Ihcy
w anted when I hey ennie In the
shop and they and t heir friends
would try to I ell the barber how
to do it, the barbers state. Now.
however, they are getting so they
let I h barber do the work as he
thinks best and as a result more
women tiro satisfied as are the bar
bers. The majority of the barbers In
this locality are for bobbed hair
for women nn7l don't think It will
ever go out of fashion. They state
they are as n'ady to cater lo the
ladles trade as well as the men.

abolished by order instead of con
gressional action exist, (me does
not apply to tills office in thu least,
according to Mr. I'eare, and the
other Mias not applied since Janu
ary 17th, when the two branches
were consolidated. The lutler or
der provides that when the ex
penses exceed one-third of the re
ceipts, the office may be closed
down. Since January 17th. the ex
penses have been jippriximat ey
one-fourth of the receipts, M r. j
I'eare stated today. He sums the
matter up wit h I he opinion that
although the secretary of interior
and the president know I hat the
closing order Is unjust, the final
nction was taken so that it would
not appear to other stales that fa-
orltism was being shown.
The Ut Grande office has nlwas
been recognized as the gengroph
ical center of the east Oregon dis
trict, which is another reuon Mr.
I'eare advances against t he clos
ing order.
Telegrams 1 leeched
Two telegrams were received by
M r. I'eare late yesterday, reading
as follows;
I. Today we received from Ihe
secretary of the Interior a message
i-eadlng as follows; "After consult
itlon with the commissioner of the
general land office I regret lo
that we cannot consistently change
our Tirst decision a.i we are being
attacked for itiseriinln.it ion In fa -
for of Oregon and Colorado as
against' other western states. Cor
personal reasons 1 regret this sit -tuition
although as an officer I fe-
that we are not far from right In
(he matter because of the reduc
tion of our appropriation of 'il7,
niMi Tor the general land ofilee and
for the additional p-usuii that tie
land offices tthould have been re
duced several ears ago." This ac
tion seems to be final unless oxer

The Dalles. I feel a gn-al Injustice
has been done and 1 think the sec
retary of the interior and commis
sioner of the general land office
did as well ns President CooMdge
but they argued if an exception
was made at La Grande others
would have lo be mad.. In other
states and confusion would follow.
Sinnotl ami I argued to the secre
tary of Ihe interior and the presi
dent that this order should never
have been made until an opportun-
iiy nan neert give.i i ne pmrons oi
the office to have a hearing and
show the gri-nl public inconveni
ence that would follow its closing.
The president iias the power to re
open the office if. compatible with
public opinion and I think comll
llous will make that ile.n- in a
reasonable time. (Signed.) Sena
