but rather a problem of Increaae4 production of war easentials and the
saving of the material and the labor necessary for the support and
equipment of our army and navy. Thoughtless expenditure of money
for non-essential uses up the labor of men, the products of the farm,
mines and factories and overburdens transportation, all of which must
be used to the utmost and at their best for war purposes.
"The great result which we seek can be obtained by the partici

concerted thrift movement. Therefore, it Is urgent that our people

advances on monday
On and after next Mondayi July 1,
the subscription price of the Jour

The advance, as We stated in our

cost of materials and other expenses
incident to the publication of a
newspaper in time of war.
Several hundred of our subscrib

no doubt waiting until the last day

H0MERWEST1SSU1CIDE
AT WILLIAMSON CAMP
Homer West committed suicide at
the Williamson sheep camp, about
five miles southeast of the shearing
plant. The tragedy occurred in
what is known as the Davis cabin,
about twenty-five mites from Prine
ville and probably happened Satur
day night but was not discovered
until Tuesday. He shot himself
through the stomach with a high
power gun.
Mr. West has been working for
J. N. Williamson for several years
and had charge of 2100 sheep at the
time of his death. Since it was not
known that anything bad happened,
the sheep were badly scattered. Mr.
Williamson has had several men
rounding them up.
Mr. West had been in ill health,
for some time and it is generally
Supposed that was the cause of the
tragedy. He was about thirty-flve
years old and has a sister living In
Seattle who has been notified but
she has not been heard from.
Services were held at the ceme
tery yesterday afternoon conducted
by Rev. W. L. Van Nuys.
