The Valley Record says: “ The cost of living in Medford has gone up. The saloons have all combined and sent the price of beer from 5 to 10 cents.” We have pondered over the problem but we give it up; tw o propositions confront us while a third one looms up in the background. We cannot decide whether beer is the chief article of diet of the Medford citizen, or whether it is absolutely necessary to drink beer in order to live in that city. We have known ever since we could reason that the alcohol habit raised the cost of living by creating conditions where drinkers failed to pay their obliga tions for the necessities of life and other persons had to bear the loss, al W .

The sun was blazing hot and there was a warm breeze but little did the gay bunch think of that as they were going for pleasure and the tan and sunburn could not stop them. They got more of the latter than they bargained for but the memory of the trip offsets the pain and discom fort that it may cause. The imrty left \i y . * ? shout six thirty and had a very cool and pleasant ride the forepart of the day but when they reached the canyon it was hot and somewhat disagreeable hut neverthe less they were enjoying themselves through it all to the fullest extent. The party stopped five miles or about that up the river for dinner and there they stayed until time to return The only shade was that of the perpen dicular wall or rock but It was much appreciated Those in the party were Misses Ennis Ruse, Gertrude Pounds.
