"This proposed county Is an arbitrary division of the two counties, fostered by office-holders, would-be office-holders, and town site boomers of Cottage Grove." He then wei.t on to explain why after tnklng out the heart of Lane county they drew their lines In a zig-zag course, taking out the fine timber, belt of northern noughts. "Why 11(1 you do that? 1 apke a Nosmith boos ter. 'Why, said he, 'when the United Staos soils the timber in the state every county in tho stuta will receive 25 per cent of the net proceeds."'

"Third The bill for the new county appoints two commissioners from tho new county to not with xne from Lane county to apportion the county property between the two cointfes nnd a like nnangement has been made in the bill for tho division of the property of Douglas county. Fourth Tin t the lines of the ter ritory embraced in tho bill havi been so arranged as to give the new coun ty a maximum of asserable property with a minimum of expense In main taining county roads. "Filth That the lines are fo ar ranged as to take In the largest quantity of standing timber that could possibly be reached following the rldnes between the rivers so ns to leave the old counties with a maxi mum of county roads to maintain. "Sixth Thnt a large number of the people In the northern part of the new territory object to being tnken into tho new county. "Many other reasons exist against he formation of the new county, but the time given your committee In too short to formulate them within the given time. Respectfully submitted, . . "COMMITTEE."
