rates will become effective March 15.
New rates will apply from all sta

to southern Oregon points via the

"Southern Pacific is «letermineil to
regain the local passenger business it
has lost to the highways «luring the
past f«*w years,’ J. A. Ormnndy, pas
senger traffic manager, said in mak
ing the announcement. “ The pro-
nounccd success which has attended
our ‘ Dollar Day’ ami other special
sales events leads us to believe people
generally prefer to travel by train,
ami these new fares are intended to
stimulate that trend. We are putting
in these reduced rates for u six
months experience. Whether they will
be retained as a permanent feature
depimds entirely upon the support
accorded them by the traveling pub
lic. Other steps which we have taken
to make our local service attractive
is the speeding up o f trains, improv

Keith Bones
Recovering From
Accidental Burns
Keith, the four year old son of Mr.
and Mrs. J. M. Bones, suffered severe
burns early Friday morning. Keith was
standing in front of th fire place, clad
in his night gown when his older sister
Hilded offered to help him dress and it
is theugt that when he turned to follow
her in the bed room, where she
had gone to get his cloths, that the 'ow-
er hem of hie gown swung out over the
flames and caught fire for w hen he enter'
ed the bed room the entire back of his
gown was ablaze Miss Hildred pulled
the blazing gown off the little fellow
but i.ot before he had been severly burn

Hildred suffered a badly burned hand al

The Stayton high school senior clasr
o f ’31, as a memorial, is remodeling
the high school stage in the auditor
ium. Every year the senior cla*«
leaves something as a memorial to
the school, generally their picture, or
book or some other useful article, but
the seniors o f ’31 are leaving a com
plete remoiieled stage. The old stage
ami curtain have been removed and a
complete new outfit is being installed.
It will include front curtains which
in place o f the old drop curtains, will
divide in the center and roll back to
each side o f the stage. Instead o f a
stationary background, curtains are
being introduced, which will operate
on hooks and pipes. This is a great
advantage over the old background.
The dramatic teacher. Miss Ireland,
states that the mo«lem trend o f stage
equipmen is to do away with a set
scene. The new method is more easily
adjusted and can be converted into
any type o f room desired with little
difficulty. It is also more pleasing to
the eye.
The complete remodeling will be
done so that the seniors will be able
to present their play, "Polly With a
Past,” March 26, 27, and 28.

"Message o f the two houses,” Matt.

alike. The one built on the sand is
the man who builds his character—
may have all the outward forms o f
religion— even says he believes— but
has not gone any farther than the
demon do, for they believe and trem
ble. Christ says, “ Except you religion
exceed the righteousness o f the
scribes and pharasees— hypocrites—
ye shall in no wise enter the Kingdom
o f heaven.”

through mud, rock to water, then to

experience must dig and not stop till
he has the gusher o f the Holy Spirit
