CANNOT STOP NESMITH & Whole State Will Be Benefitted Cottage Grove Lyceum Course By Its Creation. TEN NEW COUNTIES NEEDED. Benefit Woman’s Club Library Fund One of Oregon’s Prominent Newspa pers Exerting Its Influence in Be half of Proposed Division of This Territory. The Salem Journal believes in small er counties for Oregon as well as small er farms, and purposes lending its influence in this direction. In an edi torial it promises to support the Nes mith county movement, an undertaking that cannot fail to meet with apprecia tion by the people who are striving to better their condition. Here is the ar ticle referred to: . “Of course there are interests that think they are hurt every time a new county is created. But the hurt is im aginary and the whole state would be benefitted by ten new counties. Now it is in the cards to create a new county to be called Nesmith around Cottage Grove. There are the usual howls from Douglas and wails from Lane over the proposition. We have heard these wails and howls every time the past twenty years when a new county was borned. We have seen Lincoln, Wheeler, and Hood River brought into existence with all attending pangs of parturition. We have advocated the creation of every new county and shall do all in our pow er to have Nesmith county organized. Lane and Douglas can spare the terri tory and they are still big enough .to make several more good counties. The name'Nesmith is providential, and-the" new county cannot be stopped and everybody might as well get in line.” AN ATTRACTIVE DISPLAY. Typical Logging Scene Arranged by Burkholder-Woods Company. One of the most attractive show-win dow displays seen in Cottage Grove for many moons was that of the Burkhold er-Woods company, -arranged especially to attract attention of lumbermen, of which there are not a few in this neck- o’-the-woods. It was a typical logging camp and nothing in connection there with appeared to be missing. A minia ture ox-team, with a mule in the lead, was employed in skidding a huge log, while in the distance was the cook camp with its attendant washing hung on a line stretched from convenient trees, and a ferocious bull-dog chained, hard by. Still beyond were horses grazing in an enclosed pasture, and scattered about here and there were implements used in logging operations, and carried by the firm. The window attracted much attention. It was real ly a meritorious display, and reflected credit upon the man who dresssed the window. Thinks Well of The Sentinel. The Sentinel has received many com plimentary communications concerning its publication, but the following from British Columbia is among the most appreicated: “The Cottage Grove Sen tinel : Received a stray copy of The Sentinel a few days ago, and it certain ly is a credit to you. The people of Cottage Grove and Lane county ought to congratulate themselves on having a first-class, clean, newsy, up-to-date newspaper. The merchants certainly appreciate it, judging from the way they advertise. Inclosed find $1, for which please send me The Sentinel for six months. I have no American money or would send it. Nor is there a post- office within twelve miles of here. Wishing you all kinds of success in Cottage Grove, I am yours truly, R. M. O’Loane, Lake Buntgen, B. C.” ’Tis aNeat Playhouse. The Star Theatre is attracting large audiences to every performance, and is striving to please its patrons. The theatre is conducted along modern lines, everything being new throughout, and is it safe to say that there is not a neater house of entertainment in this valley. It is the ambition of the man agement to provide the people of Cot tage Grove with a picture show of high character; one that will educate as well as entertain. Great care is taken in the selection of pictures. Road Is Now Open. The landslide on the Oregon & South eastern road was removed on Monday, after several days’ work, and traffic re sumed to Disston. Considerable freight for the mines had accumulated. The railway company sluiced the mud from its track, using water from a nearby creek for the purpose. » Ì1 91 Management SELDEN C.

Many regard this as his best a® production, for it is filled with “worldly wisdom.” It is not a “sunshine lecture, but a search after the Philosophy of right living. Is is one lecture that has the courage to face the facts, to see things as they are. It shows not only the right of happiness and duty of happiness, but the ways of happiness. XIMENES’ STATUETTE OF PRESIDENT TAFT. President Taft recently received from Signor Ettore Xlmenes, the great sculptor of Italy, this statuette In bronze of the president modeled from life. Mr. Taft accepted the gift and wrote a letter to the famous sculptor in which he said that he not only appreciated the courtesy, but cherished the statue as a work of art and a token of Italy’s good will toward America. HOW TO BE HAPPY. Lecturer Lybarger Will Discuss This Subject Monday Night, On Monday evening next, at the Christian church, Lee Francis Lybar ger will lecture on “How to Be Hap py,” the entertainment being under the auspices of the Cottage Grove Ly ceum Course. Of Mr. Lybarger it is said that he is an orator of marked ability, and his purpose is to change the habits^ conduct and condition of men. But to do this, he must first as lecturer—change thoughts, beliefs and opinions. And then—as orator—he must link the feelings, emotions and heart- throbs of his hearers to the new beliefs and convictions he has created, in order that they may go forth and embody these new convictions in life and action. The lecturer appeals to the intellect, the entertainer to the emotions. The orator appeals to both. Being endowed by nature with those traits and quali ties which distinguished the world’s great orators, Mr. Lybarger has ampli fied these superior gifts by years of culture and training. He has the mag ical power of word-painting. He has that rare endowment of imagination which can portray characters, picture scenes, vivify social forces and tenden cies, and give even to abstract thought “a local habitation and a name.” COUNCIL MEETS MONDAY. SEASON SEATS AT THE WAVE & «9 Cottage Grove Local Is Continued to Roseburg—New Schedule. A new time card went info effect on the Southern Pacific last Sunday, since when the train heretofore known as the Cottage Grove local has continued to Roseburg instead of tying up here. This action takes the train crew away from this city, and gives it to our neigh bor on the south. The .running time of the Cottage Grove local has also been changed, going north from here at 4:02 p. m., instead“ of at 4:50, and south at 10:54, instead of at 10 :15. Number 19 and 20’s time has also been changed, the former going south at 3:12; instead of at 2:57, and the latter, going north at 11:24 instead of at 11:32. With these changes the management of the South ern Pacific will be expected by the STILL WE GROW Railroad Commission to keep close to its schedule. During the month of Oc tober No. 19 was not on time a single day, and the commission took the mat ter up with the railroad officials, result BECAUSE: ing in the changes which became effec This is a strong, careful, safe and tive on Sunday. successful institution, It is a grow The Farmer Boy Again. ing, active, up-to-date bank in every particular.
