Protests over the action of Eugene in trying to tnke the shops, such protests to be sent to President Sproule, wore suggested ns the best action this city could take. The matter was referred to the board of dinvtors with power to act. It was stnto<l by members of the delegation that Eugene’s pro gram is to got the shops away from Springfield, the Southern Pa cific tie plant away from Cottage Grove and tho division point away from Junction City. With feeling towards Eugene aroused by this action, it was pointed out that this is Cottage Grove's best chance to go after a new county. Members of tho delegation ex pressed tho belief that the action of Eugene is the action of a small group of its citizens. Springfield citizens have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in their city upon promise of the Southern Pacific that the shops would be located there and they feel deeply concerning the action of ~ Eugene. It was pointed out that Eugene would profit fi- nancially as much from the loca- tion of the shops in Springfield ns from their location upon the site proposed by Eugene.

SPRINGFIELD WINS GAME Locals Play Tight Base Ball Up to the Sixth Inning. Springfield won from Cottage Grove in a ball game here Sunday in what was a tight game up to tho sixth inning, when the locals began slipping and were unable to come back. At that time the score was 3 to 1 in Springfield’s favor bnt in one inning the visitors sent a half dozen tallies across the plate. The locals were somewhat dis couraged by the lack of attendance on the part of the business men of the city. There has been no solici tation for funds for the support of the team and the member* hope that appreciation of this fact will be reflected in attendance at the games. The Cascadia team will be here next Sunday. This team defeated the locals I to 0 in a game played three weeks ago. Wanted Gets Results After N. E.

A DAY’S DIET FOR BEAUTY SIXTH OF A SERIES OF SIX ARTICLES BEAUTY LOOP IS PLANNED Government to Connect Champion and Sharps Creek Roads. Interesting Events in the Lives of Those Who Laid Sturdy Foun dation for the Present Generation THE GREAT BOHEMIA MINING CAMP. O you really think certain foods help to make you beautiful?” The countless times I’ve been asked that question since I won my title in the beauty pageant at Atlantic City I Do I really think any food will “make you beauti ful!” Well, it won’t change the shape of your nose or the color of your hair, over-night, that’s sure. And you won’t get an impeccable complexion from a week’s carrot eating. Nevertheless, I will guarantee you that the wrong food, if persisted in, will assuredly make you ugly! But cheer up I I will also guarantee that the right food, if eaten faithfully, will actually do much to make you beautiful. Yes, it will even alter the shape of your nose and the Color of your hair I Here’s how. The proper food, regularly eaten in proper amounts, can improve the features of a too thin face by filling them out a bit; or, it can reduce F i . u U j . IJn«ivrwood-lln<l(*r*o«Mi Miss Malcornson Declares for a Hearty Iircakfast the size of a too-fat face, refining the features by eliminating the too obvious curves and so seeming actually to improve their shape. Moreover, a nose always appears more shapely when covered with a clear, perfect skin. Similarly, the right diet can liter ally improve the shade of your hair, giving it luster and gloss and mak ing it reflect the vitality of health. The sparkle of the eye, the smile on the mouth, the perfect curved lines of the figure—all these, too. are beauty rewards for the woman who eats right. “But what <io you rat ?” some one asks in despair. “How «hall I know the proper combinations of the foods you recommend as bealth- WHAT’S THE USE ful and beautifying? Just what do you eat in a day?" And so I have prepared this model menu for three meals. Breakfast: Juice of two oranges, one or two slices of toast, a poached egg, two slices of bacon.

The honor of discovering gold bearing quartz in ^the Bohemia district, as well as giving the dis trict the name of Bohemia, fell to the lot of James Johnson, in those days known as “Bohemia” John son and George Ramsey, who while prospecting for placer mines on the north Umpqua, in 186.3, followed one of its tributaries to what is now known as “ The City’» under the shadow of Bohemia’s cragged summit. Here they found a very rich specimine of decomposed quartz full of fine, free wire gold, and in their excitement they climbed to the summit of Bohemia to see which would be the quickest way to get home. Of course the first thing they saw was tho Coast Fork and Row River valleys, near the locality now* occupied by Cottage Grove. ’Hiey lost no time coming to the settlement, where they exhib ited their find, and the first rush to Bohemia began in tho following year. Moro than 100 claims were staked off during tho next year or two and in the fall of ’67 Bird Farier made the first cash sale of mining property, when he sold to Joseph Knott what is now known as tho old Excelsior claim on the summit of Grouse mountain, Ruth Malcornson 1924 Miss A nitrica" Tho government road building crew employed on tho Champion road into the Bohemia district have completed tho work for a distance of about 8 miles, having reached a point a mile above the forks ot the creeks, or about two miles above Lundpnrk. It is the intention of the forest service to eventually complete this road the entire distance into the district and to make a connection with the Sharps creek road, which would give a beautiful loop motor trip. A crew of 16 men are engaged in this work and they will con- tinuo at work jmtil tho funds ap preprinted for this year have been expended, Work will be continued next venr.
