Ladies' Auxiliary
Hard Times Dance

Big preparations are being made
for the hard times dance to. be given
Friday night by the Auxiliary ladies
at the Natatorium. The room will be
appropriately decorated for the occa-
sion. The ball will open at 9 o'clock
with a grand march to pepful music.
You are not to wear your swallow
tailed coats and decolate dresses.
During hard times year you are not
supposed to have such togs. II you
are fortunate enough to have them,
leave them at home and come dressed
in the spirit of the occasion-that is,
not a naked spirit, but common,
everyday spirit, with lots Of pep and
full of fun. It will be the first "big
dance" since the boys went away to
war, and it is given with the hope Of
dispelling, for a joyful evening, the
heaviness that has hung over us since
war was declared and everything we
have to buy is put up to war prices.
Thesprice Of dancing, for this occa-
sion at least, is about the only thing
that has gone down since war prices
went up. The price will be but 75
cents for three dollars worth Of fun;
25 cents for spectators. A heap Of
good refreshments and music with
pep. Tomorrow night at the Nat.
The receipts go into the treasury Of
the Auxiliary Club to be spent to help
Ashland grow. "YOU will miss 1t, II
you miss it."

Letters Call for
3 Cents Tomorrow

Letters, other than drop letters,
must carry 8 cents instead Of 2 cents
from midnight tonight. The war
revenue on letters begins November
2 at one minute after midnight,
Thursday, November 1.
There is just one confusing situa-
ton regarding the stamps and the
law, and that involves the mail de-
posted in boxes. If a letter is de-
posted before midnight Thursday 1t
is entitled to travel at the 2-cent
rate, but If deposited after midnight
the Scent rate applies. How to tell
whether a letter has been placed in
the box before or after midnight Is
the nut which the postal authorities
will have to crack.
Also, when midnight Of Thursday
arrives, postal cards will require 2
cents instead of cent.

ficient manner in which the three
days sessions were carried on, thus
placing the annual institute of 1917

TeutonS Gaining
In Italian Field

The drive Of the German and Aus
tro-Hungarian armies, begun a week
ago, against the eastern and north
eastern fronts of the Austro-Italian
theatre, continues unabated, but with
the Italian cavalry fighting rear
guard actions to cover the retreat of
the Italians to positions chosen for
stand, and the Teutonic allies also
being impeded by the flooded condi-
tion of the Tagliamento river.
The invasion of venetla from the
east, with Udine the apex Of the
drive, already Is about twenty miles,
but as yet no definite information Is
at hand as to the extent OF the Teu-
tonic advance in other districts II
the movement from the north keeps
pace with that from the northeast
ard east, however, the predicament
of General Cadornas forces will be
serious one, and il Is not beyond
the realms of possibility that unless
the eastern armies are able to make
stand on the Plains Of Friull, a con-
siderable number Of the Italians will
be captured.
In the retreat of the Italians the
British artillery units which early in
the spring were sent to the Isonzo
front to aid the Italians in their drive
toward Trieste saved all their guns,
but the men suffered severely from
the inclement weather and lack Of
food.
Field Marshal Haig again has sent
forward his forces in the Ypres Sec
tor on what apparently were intended
as Strengthening operations, and has
been successful In gaining the great
er portion of his objective. The at
tacks were delivered over small
fronts in the region Of Passchendaele
and Poelcapelle, where spurs OF
ridges and other points Of vantage
were taken.

member of the 1st company, Oregon
Coast Artillery:
81 am writing this In the new Y.
NJ. c. A. building. 1t is dandy place
and all the fellows are using 1t and
enjoy its privileges. They are ar
ranging or organizing classes in
shorthand and French, also mathe-
MATES and some other studies which
are free to the soldiers. The build
ing is long, one-story affair, with
many windows on all sides. The out
side is painted white and the inside
is stained light oak. The building
has a stage at one end for the use of
speakers, shows, etc. There are long
tables running the full length Of the
building, and every fourteen inches
there Is an inkwell fitted into the
table, and scattered over the tables
are pens and blotters. At the office
there are stacks of writing material
and signs which say Help yourself
Also at the office one can get, by ask
ing, any kind Of game from Pit to
chess. There are two dandy big Vic
trolas and hundreds of records, which
the soldiers are invited to use; also
a piano There is also large library
and hundreds of magazines.
"This does not half describe what
a nice place this Y. M. C. A. building
is. A nice item about the whole
thing is that everything is absolutely
free.
To-day we had the big track meet
which / spoke about in my other let

parade. All the companies from
across the river at Fort Columbia and
Candy came over to compete and be
in the regimental parade. Honest,
folks, I think a well-trained body Of
men is about the prettiest sight 60

Thousands Of people from Astoria

and the track meet.
81 am sorry to say that our COM
pany did not win the meet but we
are perfectly happy, because we won
the two most important events Of the
day, namely, the 100-yard dash,
which Millard Grubb won. This
proves him to be the fastest man in
the regiment. We are very proud of
him. Also we won the relay race,
WHlCu was lHN ulunL lhipOltdlI VNNht
of the day. This proves our relay
team to be the fastest in the regi-
ment. In fact the fastest in the de-
fences of the Columbia.
There are ten men in relay
team, and I am one Of them At first
the other team was ahead of us, but
we gradually pulled up until we were
ahead of them by about five yards
It was a close race and very exciting,
We lost the meet mostly because our
men were not heavy enough to win in
the tug of war, but we don't care, for
we are proud that we have the fastest
men in the regiment.

Eagle Point Man
Shot by NeighbOr

Joseph Mcdonald Stewart, ranch
er, aged 30, was shot and killed Mon
day evening at about $3.50 o'clock
by his neighbor, w. e. Butler, on the
latter's farm on the Brownsboro
road. two and one-half miles from
Eagle Point Butler, who is in the
county jail awaiting the outcome OF
the inquest, declares the shooting was
done in self-defense, and claims the
dead man fired at him first.
The tragedy is supposed to be the
result of an old neighborhood feud
over the closing of a county road
running by the Butler farm. The
only witness to the deed is Butler
himself, who telephoned to the sheriff
, at Jacksonville after the shooting
without giving his name, stating
merely that he had shot and killed a
man at his place. The sheriff being
absent, Deputy Paul Anderson, ac-
companied by Night Policeman ]. o.
Gerking of Medford, went immedi-
ately to the scene of the shooting.
Here he found Butler in the house
with his family, and Stewart dying
In a field where he had fallen half
mile away. He had been shot
through the thick part of the right
thigh and was bleeding to death. DR..
Holt Of Eagle Point was summoned,
but the wounded man died twenty
minutes before he arrived.
According to Buffers story, he left
the house Monday night to take a
walk over his farm to inspect his
fences. and, in accordance with his
custom of years, he took his rifle
along to use in case he ran across
coyote. As he was walking through
his field adjoining the county road
he heard a shot and felt a bullet
fwhizz by him. Although 1t was
moonlight he could not see anyone
about, but presumed that whoever
fired the shot was standing behind a
large oak tree. Shortly another shot
was fired at him, he stated. and this
time he saw the flash Of 1t by the
tree. He then fired twice at the tree
and, dropping to the ground, crawled
around where he could see a man
standing back of the tree. He then
fired at the man and knew that the
shot had taken effect as he saw the
man fall and heard him cry out. APP
parently fear of what he would see
kept Butler from going to the scene
of the tragedy, and he returned home
and telephoned for the sheriff.
Butler, according to reports, is
charged with fencing off the road
near his farm and was at one time
arrested on this charge, but was
cleared. Since then watch has been
kept on the fence as it had been put
up as fast as it was torn down. 1t
is supposed that Stewart was keeping
the watch Monday night and saw But
Ter in the field when the shooting be-
gan.
Stewart was unmarried and was
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. H. ]. Stewart
of Central Point.
