"The best program you ever had In the Legion," "We certainly had a good time." These and othera are samples of the things said by those who attended the "good time" given by the First Oregon Legion 2136, N. P. L., In Woodman hall last Friday night. No one knew that we had a full fledged orchestra In the grants Pass membership until last Friday night. Very enjoyable Instrumental and vo cal music, solos, a trio, and a quar tette were among the musical pro ductions. The audience began to laugh when the avaricious landlord got double rent for one room out of two unsuspecting victims. A wild Irishman tried his best to get employ ment as an actor, but his palpable Ig norance of the word "sufficient" frustrated his desire and the heart less audience laughed loud and long at the poor fellow's misfortune. It was clearly demonstrated that It was very possible for a freckled face girl to entertain a caller all alone, and also that a ent should stand on four legs. Another thing was demon strated about ten o'clock, and It was that when It comes to making cakes, sandwiches and coffee the ladles of the Legion are hard to beat. After the refreshments, ten members dem onstrated their ability to tell a funny story and do It ns It should be "did." The two successful contestants were presented with a gold watch, but re fusing this were tendered a package of chewing gum Instend. The occa sion was further enlivened by tele grams of regret being frequently rushed to the platform from Taft, iioosevelt, King Edward, the mayor of Grants Pass and others. A. R.

Circuit Judge, First Judicial District, Giants Pass, Oregon "My Dear Judge: 1 have carefully read your esteemed favor of Janu ary v.", tendering your resignation as circuit Judge of the first Judicial district of the state of Oregon. It Is always a ninttcr of regret with 'me. when an officer who has, for B long period of years, served Ms state with fl.lcMtv and has, continuously during all of that service, performed ,the duties of his office without fear I or favor, guided only by the wish to faithfully carry out the duties of his ! trust, contemplates his voluntary re tirement Knowing you as I have , during our close relationship, ft i tending over a period of twenty-five You'll o Buring of t All Stetson $5.00 Hats for $3.75 All Stetson 4.00 Hats for 3.00 All Nugget 3.00 Hats for 2.25 It will be a long time before you have another opportunity to purchase such hats as these at anything like the price.

DOZENS OF OTHER BARGAINS JUST AS GOOD AS THIS CALHOUM years, and having, during that time, been permitted to know you, both as such officer und ns a man, the fact that you are now voluntarily sur rendering that trust, adds greatly to the general feeling of regret I always entertain in such cases. "Almost continuously for twenty four years you have filled the office of circuit Judge of the First Judicial district. Time and time again the people of your district, Irrespective of party politics, have endorsed your work and placed upon It, that which I know you regard now, In your de clining years, as the greatest recom pense that you have received, and that Is, their approval of work well done. ! "During your career as a public i servant you have been called upon to j exercise the duties of your office In , cases that were of the greatest im portance to the litigants appearing before you. During such a career as i this, It certainly appeals to mo that i had there been anything connected with It that could have been shown j that you were not faithfully dis charging the duties of your steward ship, It would have been impossible I for anyone to have secured, practical ity unsolicited as they were by you, I so many public endorsements of the ' approval of the people. "I have accepted your resignation and, ns you will note by the press dispatches of this day, have follow ed your recommendation. I feel that there is no other man better qualified to advise me on such sub jects than yourself. In addition to this, the bar of Southern Oregon nnd a large number of prominent citizens of that section, have approved your endorsement. "With your leaving the public service nt this time, I feel that the state of Oregon has lost one of Its most trusted servants and an officer who has, during all of his honored cauvr, served his state well. "In conclusion, I desire, as the ex ecutive of the state, to thank you for the service rendered our state during your term of office, and to wish you nnd your family good health and prosperity. Very truly yours, (Signed! "FRANK W. HENSON, "Governor." r' I always find the Stetson on the heads of the men who wear the very best clothing, and insist upon having the best of everything else.

In the death of Mr. t,ce we have lost a dear friend, one whom to know even the slightest was to lovo for his kindly disposition, hi rcn.ly Sympathy nnd his many noble and J admirable qualities. He has been ,an Invnlld for 14 years past, suffer I Ing front arthritis of the knee Joints, I beginning In one knee and finally leaving him crippled In both Vnecs no o nee the years were spent In a wheel chair. Ho was born January, 1839, at St. Johnsbury, Vt., and In hla young manhood worked In the railroad of fices, and later served for years as sealer of weights In the Fairbanks scale works. Nearly six years ago, when Mrs. N. P. Dodge visited her twin sister, Mrs. Lee, in Vermont, she prevailed upon them to return with her to Oregon and make their home at Grants Pass, In the hope that the climate might have a bene ficial effect and also that they might all be together. There was quite a noticeable improvement In health for some time, but age and enforced Inactivity began to tell and he show ed signs of falling health for some months past, although up to a few days before his death he was able to be with the family at meals. The funeral was held at the Dodge home Thursday afternoon, with Interment at the I. O. 0. F. cemetery. He leaves a sister. Mrs. Wlllard Chase, of this Place, and a wife, who during the voars of his affliction has cared for him as faithfully and lovingly as a Parent could for a beloved child.
