TUB TRULY WISH MAN 18 NEVER 8ELFI81L VOLUME No. 29. G. H. Pavilion Is Being Improved The Gold lllll Pavilion, well re membered a* u purlinlly completed frame structure on the S.P. park land in the middle of town, built by the old Greater Gold Hill dub aev- erul years past und consequently coming into possession of Martin llowers through ilnpayinent of u Mortgage for severul hundred dol lars and since used in warm weath er only, for dunces und uthletic events, is being extensively repair ed by B. E. Adams und Sons. The great big barn-like structure In its unfinished condition has been a sore spot on the hands of the town boosters. The condition of the old building rendered its use in winter impossible as no heating plant could be devised to overcome the hundicup of the numerous cracks in the tem porary walls. Murtin Bowers tips season took the old building and the amusement question into careful consideration. He figures that the building in its present condition is a losing propo sition, and believes if repaired and made attractive it will bring a fair profit and become un asset to the conununity. A new roof is being put on where needed. The interior of the big building is radically chnnged. The •ides were leveled up und where a large tree pressed an end wull out of shape the building is beng altered lo avoid the tree. Mr. Swem, of The Swem Studios at Medford has been engaged to do the interior dec orating nnd a great difference is an ticipated. The opening ball of the 1926 season in the pavilion will be held tlv niglit of May 7.

The enhance to the confec tionery is being changed from the door over against the garage office, to the corner of the building where the front und side street windows have been removed and a doorway is being built. The interior of the confectionery also is being arranged to accomodate more customers at a time and easy seats are being pro- vided for the waiting passengers of the interrurban stage lines which have addopted this location as their depot in Gold Hill. --------0- Former Teacher Winning Praise One more little camp and then there were nine—nine little bun galow ci nips hidden away in the most wonderfully beautiful spots of the Canadian Pacific Rockies, It is only a few years since the first cump was opened, beside Moraine Lake, with ten 10,000 foot peaks towering above. Now there is one perched beside Storm Mountain, the highest camp in the Rockies and the first along the famous Banff Windermere motor road. A little English girl, who six-nils her win ters in California und her summers in Canada, comes rather shyly out on the steps of the comfortable bun galow where dainty luncheons and teas and more substantial dinners are served. She welcomes all vis itors, then unobtrusively slips away, and by the time wraps are discarder appetizing food is being brought to the tables. Death of Custer Shown on Screen cordance with his orders. This is the first picture reproduc tion of Custer’s Last Stand to be shown on the screen, and the local Firemen are fortunate indeed in securing this show for their beniflt. It took a poet—Tennyson—to call attention to a fntal military blun der. In his poem, "The Charge of the Light Brigade,” he relates the story of the gallant “Six Hundred” who galloped to their doom, know ing that they were riding, unneces sarily, into certain death. And now n motion picture has brought to light another instance of a grave tactical error inmilitary strategy, involving the famous “Last Stand” of General George Custer, when he and his entire com mand were anihilated by Slitting Bull’s Sioux Indians. This thrilling incident has been reproduced in the "Scarlet West,” which is coming to the new Beaver Thentre here for the Firemen’s ben- iflt show, the evening of May 6. The picture shows the regiment, with Custer nt its head, riding out of Fort Remington to engage the Indians, who had taken the war path. Misled by treacherous Indian scouts as to the number of enemies he would encounter, Custer deter mined to surround them. He there fore divided his force in hnlf, send ing Major Reno to execute a flank ing movement and to attack the In dians in the rear. Anticipating such a move, the Indians attacked, surrounding Cus ter and encircling him until he and all of his men had been slain. The Massacre was complete and the Sion hid disappeared when Major Rcuc und ills men arrived in ac Further along the road leading to Windermere is the Vermillion River Camp, the natural stopping point for all motors whisking buck and forth to Banff. The fishing in this region is what attracts the greatest number of people who come to stay- in the little two-cot huts adjoining tiic main recreation bungalow. man in his bath and a full blooded red Indian across the way from him, splashing with equal vigor. The trail’s end is lovely Lake Windermere, with bungalows scat tered beside its clear waters. Not far from the central bungalow is the home of British Columbia’s new Lieutenant Governor, Randolph A. Bruce, with its famed gardens stretching down to the lake shores.

Pickard. After a short visit in the ‘sound’ city Mrs. Finch ex pects to return to her home in Den ver, Colorado. The twisting off of two large drive shafts under the heavy mills and kiln nt the cement plant this week seriously delayed the opera tion of the plant for a short time. Terry Talent was a visitor in this city today. He has just returned from Klamath Falls where he in the company of another prohibition officer made some very successful raids. He was just resting up to day end was not on any official er rand—the country hereabouts is too dry to attract him. W. A.

Bluett, of Eugene, who will be the Superintendent of the Gold Hill schools for the year 1926-1927 is in Gold Hill this week conferring with the school board and members of the present faculty. Mr. Bluett is a man of pleasing personalitty and we have no doubt as to the success of the schools under his regime. He was accompanied by Miss Margaret Carter, who will be one of the high school teachers the coming year. Miss Carter is a niece of E. V. Carter of Ashland and one of Southern Oregon’s most prom inent citizens. Wm. Lee Greanleaf, well remem bered here as the former superinten dent of the schools, and owner of a mighty nice ranch home on the Willow Springs road, was a visitor here with his wife twice this week. For some time he has been very much in demand as a reader of Shakespearean clasics in the schools in practically every city on the Pac ific coast and his former standing on chatauqua circuits was only a stepping stone to the laurels being showered upon him wherever he is heard now. He has consented to appear in “Merchant .of Venice” at the High School Auditorium at the town of Rogue River to satisfy a promise he made people there years ago. The reading of the famous clasic will take place Friday night, April 23 "hen the Gold Hill students or grown up lovers of Shakespear will have the opportunity to hear the Jeffersonian version of this delightful clasic. Henry Christeen Warnack, the dramatic critic, Los Angeles Times described Greenleaf as follows: “William Lee Greenleaf comes nearer constituting an entire thea trical company than any one indi vidual I ever heard rain down lines from the stage. He can so visual ize the different parts of a play as to fill the mind’s eye with the complete action. He electrifies an audiance both with this quality of envisioning and with the timber of an excep tional speaking voice of many shad es and wide range of power. Mr. Greenleaf not only entertains—he inspires. No one can hear his Merchant of Venice, his Hamlet or Rip Van Winkle, and not approach those masterpieces with a new born reverence and understanding. I commend him as the best one-man company interpreting the immortal creations of the drama today. -------- 0--------- The Firemen’s benefit show to be put on the screen here at the new Beaver Theatre on the evening of May Cth is attracting great atten tion by students of history. All the students of the Gold Hill schools and for that matter, at the schools in his end of the valley, should see this picture. It would afford the literary students a rare opportunity to gain inspiration for writing up the event and getting a better un derstanding of the intent of Ten nyson in his immortal poem. The tickets for the entertainment will be out the first of next week when every citizen is honor bound to buy at least one whether he will be able to see the show or not. This benefit entertainment is the means of raising funds for the pur chase of a Siren a*d other fire fight ing equipment for the- protection of every citizen’s property in the com munity. The Fire department is not confined in its protection to the City of Gold Hill for with the fast chemical truck ready at all times a run of several miles into the country c»n and will be made when anyone phones in for help. The need of a siren that can easily be heard in all parts of the community is very cer tain. There is no fund in the hands of the department or in the City treasury either with which to add new’ equipment or replace worn out parts and not liking the idea of pass ing the hat when a few pay the bills for the rest, the firemen have endeavored to give you something for your money beside the conse quent protection to your property. -------- 0-------- Sleepy Hollow To Be Restored Van Hook Investment company is assembling and erecting consider able placer mine machinery on the old Sleepy Hollow ranch at the mouth of Sardine Creek where it is on old historic fact that rich placer mining is possible. The ranch comprises some 240 acres of fertile ground, mostly on a level or so slightly inclined that a farm was considered more valuable than a mine in the early days. The gravel beds are the old channel of Rogue River augmented by the rich gold bearing sands of Sardine creek. The depth of the gravel veries from a few feet to twenty and prospects from the top down at an average of $1.00 and better. Notwithstanding our aversion to seeing a beautiful tract of land torn up with placer mine operations, we are reconsiled to the operations of Engineer Van Hook and the mining of the old Sleepy Hollow ranch because he has arranged his plans of operation so that the sluicing out of the upper and nonfarm land will be used in filling the lower levels and again make the farm a beautiful and pos sibly more productive property than before. ------ -0 -------- OWNER having good ranch for sale, state cash price.
