"Shave 25 cents" how does that
sound? If the' plans that are being
formulated by the barbers of this city
materialize that will be the estab
lished price for a shave In the near
future. Although you will be re
quired to pay more for a shave, the
price of hair cuts will remain the
same, so that will be some consola
tion. The barbers give as a reason
for this proposed ra'se the high price
that they are required to pay for
soap. They claim that soap prices
have soarded beyond reach, so it's up
to the poor consumer again. Rose

President Wilson has pardoned
Thomas R. Sheridan, president of the

certain depositors to withdraw their
funds. His case was recently brought
before tlia United States v'preme

Kissing Is a patrlotlc'duty under
certain circumstances. At least, Eu
gene girls are pouting thoir lips In
the most approved osculatory way to
help out their Uncle Samuel. When
Guy Koepp, high school student,
started for the train today to go to
Vancouver barracks, Washington, to
go Into service of his country, 26
pretty high school girls stepped up
to him and each gave him a kiss and
a hug. "If they keep that up," ob

can handle." Eugene Guard.

That many deer and elk have died
during the winter of starvation is the
belief of ' Nate Raines, John Day
stockman, who is visiting here. He
states that he has seen many of the
game animals during tho w.nter and
that all have been very poor. They
have been forced down from the
mountains In search of food and he
thinks many probably perished.
While driving over the mountains to
Pendleton he saw a band of seven

The clt'zens of Gold Hill tendered
the new army and navy recruits of
this district a farewell reception at
tho M. E. church In this city last
Tuesday evening. Tho crowd filled
tho building to Its full capacity. The
room was specially decorated with
the national colors, and the seating
was arranged for reception purposes.
The seats were arranged In tiers
around the border, a cluster In the
center, leaving a largo promenade en
tirely around the room. Rev. Hutch

a splend'd toastmnstor, with his orig
inal Irish wit. Responses on patri

after the feast, when tho older guests
had begun to bre?.k ranks, was the
performing of tho military drill by
the young rcerults and their sweet
hearts Tho girls, who have been
taking lessons watching the home
guards drill on the plaza and at the
pavilion, seem to bo more Bpt schol
ars In the art than the young soldiers,
to the nierr'ment of the audience.

curred during the drill, to the merri

of our national tlrs, then "America."

evening at the I. O. O. F. temple In

present, making a very large attend
ance. After a general good time they
all retired to tho banquet hall In the
hull'Vng and partook o? a splendid
spread provided by tho ladles of the
order.
The citizens of Gold Hill, not to be
outdone by patriotic citizens of Port
land and other cities in Oregon, In
duced by tho general proclamation of
President Wilson to be producers, are
responding. They are resurrecting
the old rusty spading fork and turn
ing the sod In the backyard and ad
jacent vacant town lots. Many will
bo tho bushel of potatoes next fall,
due to the proliflcness of Gold Hill
soil and plenty of water from Rogue
