Springfield citizens have invested
hundreds of thousands of dollars
in their city upon promise of the
Southern Pacific that the shops

they feel deeply concerning the

Eugene. It was pointed
out that Eugene would profit fi-

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.

the official thermometer of the

temperature of 95 has been the
rule and again it has been proved
that Cottage Grove never has ex

Do I really think any food will “make you beauti

or the color of your hair, over-night, that’s sure. And
you won’t get an impeccable complexion from a

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

the size of a too-fat face, refining
the features by eliminating the too

actually to improve their shape.
Moreover, a nose always appears

Similarly, the right diet can liter

The honor of discovering gold

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
