M"EDFOT?T) MATT, TRTBTTXR IvrEDTORD OlfKfiOX. TUIvDAV. AlTiUKT 1. W2 PA OK' TTTRICTC F TAKEN IN VALLEY According to an announcement today by a representative of the G. E. Miller bond house of Portland, residents of the Eagle Point Irrigation District, arc the first to buy their own bonds, 150,000 worth having been subscribed through; the Butte Falls bank yester day. While others awaited the formal of fering of these bonds the people of Eagle Point and Uutte Falls got busy. They have faith in themselves and faith In their lands. Yesterday a bank er came to Med ford and closed the deal. He bought also for his personal aicount ., , ' . '. Rarely, according to local report, 1s a local issue bo promptly sought by local people. , Rarely Is such faith in home enterprises so promptly ex pressed. If home money more fre quently stayed at home there would bo better growth of good homo enter prises and less losses of investment funds, j . , Irrigation. Is certainly doing much for southern Oregon. This year will bring bountiful harvests and irrigation is saving crops that the dry senson might have seriously injured. Tho Rogue River Valley is a land of plenty, prosperity and faith in the present and the future.

SOCIAL LIGHT WINS CAVE GIRL PRIZE EARNS LAND AS HOMESTEADER ! I B!l V mm wf Miss 4 EILEEN YOUNG- Uy ELLIS ir. MART1X i International News Service Staff Co rrcs 1 ion tic nt. SAN FRANCISOO, July It's a far cry from a fashionable ball room to a lonely mountain homestead, but pretty Eileen Young, just twenty-two has bridged the gap. Just recently Miss Young won first costume prize for Mono county, her adopted county, at a fashionable civic hall given here. She wore a "cave woman's costume" fashioned from furs of animals she had trapped her self in the wilds of tlio mountains. Now sho is back in Mono county completing the last of twenty-ono month's residence on G40 acres of wild land which , stretches from,-the high Sierras to tho Mojave' desort. which she took up threo years ago at the age of 19 as a "homesteader" ITor principal neighbors are Piute Indians and one of her best friends is the venerable "Four Fingered Jack," chleflnin of the IMutos, who has boon C I G Arvj The next time you select a cigar, don't - foil to try El Sidelo, Always a fine cigar and never finer than now.

He gave her the name of "Lonoly Deer." Word went out that anyone who so much as lifted a finger ugainst tho little- "palo face" pioneer who had come to tho Lake Mono district would answer to "Four Fingered Jack," Cor "Lonely Deer" Is tho niece of George Dorn, homesteader and fast friend Of tho chief. ' 1 Homo tn San Jose. - "Undo George's" homestead Is 30 miles from the cabin of the intrepid 'VEileen Young, Homesteader," as she. calls herself on her visits to civiliza tion and tho homo of her parents in San Jose. A mountain range rears itself between the two "sections," and a swift mountain stream tears its way down toward the sea otherwise they ore "close neighbors." ' On her last ' trip to civilzatlon "Lonely Deer" had some pictures taken in her ball costume to show Chief "Four Fingered Jack," her con quest of f'soelety" for Mono county. Tho chief hns never Been a city, much less a fashionable ball and the only jazz he has ever heard Is that afford1 od by tho mournful chant qf the coy otes that gather on the shores of Lako Mono at night to voice their saxophone moans for the edification of tho bears, mountain lions timid mule deer and stately elks that in habit tho region nnd to throw terror into the heurts of tho thousands of sheep that graze on 1,ho hills over hanging tho lake. Miss Young' does not know the meaning of tho word fear. "Afraid?"' sho was asked. A laugh was her answer. "I don't know what it means to be afraid. Threo years ago my old bachelor uncle visited us and told my family of the groat sheep country In Mono county the- government was opening up for settlement. Undo Was Sad. "Ho was sad because he is too old to homestead any longer, and said it was too bad thero was no boy In the family to go up" there and take up the land. "I asked what was the matter with my going. Father and mother were hard to persuado, but I had tho nerve to do anything a boy could do nnd finally won out. We lived on a ranch when wo wei-o youngsters "and I learned how to ride as well and shoot as straight as a boy; "My undo helped mo put up my cabin and -for seven months of each of tho last three years I have lived up there with- saddle- horses, pack mules and dogs for companions. And I like it. 1 Of course, -I'm glad to get back to civilization, . but nftor 'five months in the cities I'm glad when the time comes to go back to the mountains." But tho Mono county "cave girl" is not looking for a "enve man" with out sufficient gumption to strike out and get ft homestead of his own with whom to share her hard-earned acres.' And sho Is not looking for any sort of a man just now. ''When I marry' sho said In answer to -a question, "it will bo man who loves tho wilds but who Is equally nt homo- in civilization. . I wanta man 'who is broke to city pavements nn - well as mountain climbing. He must be nt homo any where. But I guess I'll never find that kind chnp." 1 ; ' - .
