ROY GARDNER IS VISITOR IN THE CITY One Man Lone* H i, Breath; Another With Family Lose, Track of Five Dollar BUI. Roy Gardner visited Cottage Grove during the post week. No one actually saw Roy elose enough to be able to identify him, but one man report* losing his breath the while hurrying into the city from the outskirts to meet a night train. An other man, with a family consisting of one wife and six children to support, who had a five-spot left over from hi* last week’s wages, report* that it ha* completely disappeared in some my* teriou* way during tho week. Another citizen, who arrived home about 3 a. m., the exact hour not be ing impressed upon hi* mind, wn* struck over the head with some kind of a bludgeon just a* he stepped inside hi* own door. Hi* wife quiekly came to hi* rescue but she saw no one mnk ing his escape. These mysterious incidents, it *eems, can only be explained by the presence here of the noted bandit, Roy Gardner. IT COSTS MONEY TO SERVE FELLOW MAN A citizen who serves his community in a public or semi public capacity usually finds that considerable expense is involved. O. M. Mnrksbury is find ing thnt this is true. While attending a meeting of the board of directors of the chamber of commerce Tuesday eve ning he left his car standing on Main street. When he returned to put it in the garage about 50 feet away he found that the car had been tugged for disregarding the section of the traffic ordinances forbidding parking on Main street for more than one hour. Judge Gnlloway imposed a fine of $1. RAILWAY MEN TAKE UP MOTOR COMPETITION The Brotherhood of Maintenance of Ways will hold n meeting hero Mon day afternoon for the purpose of con sidering the inroads of motor carriers upon the business of the Southern P a cific railway. The plan is to hold the meeting at 4 o'clock in the South ern Parifie freight house. The railway employes are taking up this phase of the transportation problem beenuse of the fact that large numbers are being laid o ff along the line because of the lack of freight and passenger business.

AL CHURCHILL OPENS VEIN OF PAY DIRT Al. Churchill has uncovered a new chute of free milling ore within 100 feet of his cabin on the Monte group in the Bohemia district. The ore is not ns rich ns that on Mr. Churchill’s President property. Mr. Churchill hn* not uncovered the vein sufficiently to estimate the extent of it. Shower baths are being installed nt the high school, four for the boys and four for the girls. Freshies arc in clined to the belief thnt the upper clansmen may attempt to use the show ers for other purpose* than those for which they are being installed. CANNERY IS RUSHING OUT ¡iEASON’S PACK The cannery is having no trouble in disposing of its product this season at fair prices. During the past week two ears of prunes, beans uud berries have been shipped to Portland uud a similar car has been shipped to Los Angeles. Two more ears are to be shipped at once to Portland. About four ears of the season’s puck remain to be shipped but most of it has been sold. It is understood that the entire pear pack, whieh will go to a Portland broker, will be shipped to Liverpool. The total season’s puck has been about ten cars. CLEAVER IS USED ON DINING CAR PRICES The knife of the normalcy expert» of the Houthern Pacific wa» wn-ided last week and as a result the diuiug ear prices were slashed. A pot of coffee, whieh previously sold for 30 cents, can now be pur chased for 15 cents. Baked potatoes have been reduced 40 per eent from their former price of 25 eents. Other brands of potatoes have slumped in price approximately 30 per cent. Moups have splashed from 35 cents down to 25 cents, and all kinds of vegetables have struck a pro war basis. Hirkuu and teoderloia steaks have been eut dow n to $1.25 a portion, whereas they were $2. A reduction of 15 cents has been made in ham and eggs, and the price that now confronts the prospective consumer is 65 cents. A three-egg or dinary omelet is now on the block for 45 eents, having undergone a 20 per cent reduction. Fancy omelets have also undergone a similar reduction. Ten per cent reductions have also been made in cereals and fish. Another innovation on the part of the Houthern Pacific is the establish meut of an 80-ccnt luncheon on the dining car menu.
