P C O M P A N Y Marking one o f the most striking g> n«-ra? mluction* in passenger fares • Iftcted by any railroad serving the Pacific northwest since the war, Southern Pacific toilny announced ruts ranging from 15 to 20 per c«-nt on its om -wny und round trip fures between Portland, Willamette Vall«>y points and southern Oregon. The new rates will become effective March 15. New rates will apply from all sta­ tions Portland to Eugene, inclusive, to southern Oregon points via the Fiakiyou line ami from Ashland to ami including ( ’ reswell to Eugene nml all points north. Tickets will be on ale daily. Reductions will apply both on oni'-wuy, round trip and week-end rounil trip tickets. One way tickets will have a limit of 10 «lays; round- tiips, (»0 days. Stopovers will be per- mitted within the limits. "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 ing our equipment with new reclin­ ing chair and lounge cars anu the providing o f schedules which peimit day or overnight sleeper service.” Otmandy said thes«> reductions are in line with the downward treml of all commodity prices ami are being put into effect despite the fnct that the cost o f rail transportation is one cost widen has not been materially de­ Mrs. Fred Schifferer was hostess for the W.

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. - o---------- Last Game The last basketball game o f the season was played between Turner high school and Gates, at Gates, last Friday night with Turner coming out at the small end o f the score o f 23-11. Hauk o f Salem was referee. The players from Turner were Given, Stewart, Neer Ga.-ner an«! Tappan. u METHODIST CHURCH^ "Message o f the two houses,” Matt. 7:13-27, was the theme o f Sunday morning service. All are building but we have the choice o f material. In fa|r weather these two houses looked 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.” ■----------- O — — — House founded on the rock— char­ acter built on Christ, a living experi­ ence. In digging for oil men go down through mud, rock to water, then to gas, and lastly strike the gusher o f oil. So the man seeking this living experience must dig and not stop till he has the gusher o f the Holy Spirit which is typified by oil. The poorest Christian and the best o f the worldly product may look alike but the difference is the one has Christ and the other has not and does not realize his lack till the storm crashes. Don’t wait for the cyclone before insuring against it. -----O----- The young people reorganized the Epworth League at 6:30 and had a very interesting discussion led by the pastor on “ Christ’s Attitude Toward War.” -----O----- Text o f the evening sermon was, “ Be not as a Mule.” Rev. Burgoyne showed us how God leads but the devil forces. The ladies silver tea at Mrs. Small's was well attended and a very inter­ esting time was had. ---- o---- ■ Next Sunday night the Brother­ hood will have charge o f the evening service. I f you were there last time we know you will be this time— if possible— if you missed it then don’t again— you can’t afford to.
