Officers and a board of directors were elected at the cannery meeting last Saturday. L. D. Scarbrough was elected president^ C. H. Sedwick, vice president ; R. F. Sc’ott, secretary ; and the Fruit Growers’ Bank, treasurer. The board of directors consists of the first three officers named together with A. R. Land, T. A. Shafer, William Holderman and Joseph Weber. Mayor Geo. L. Gilfry, who came to the vicinity of Creswell 58 years age, when a boy of 10 years of age,, states that to the best of his memory there never has been a year when crops of every kind looked so promising as this spring. Mr. Gilfry was for years a farmer in the Cloverdale section and has seen many bountiful harvests in this vicinity, but says that unless some thing unheard of before happens this spring, the Creswell country will have its banner crops this year.—Chronicle. Word has been received by the offi cials of the Lane County Asset Co. in this city that the city of Marshfield has just granted a franchise to the Coos Bay Rapid Transit Co., headed by Maj or L. D. Kinney, who recently took $250,000 worth of stock in the Asset Company. As previously announced, Major McKinney has granted the Lane County Asset Company the privilege of using the tracks of the Rapid Transit Compny as an entrance into the cities of Coos Bay, and eventually the two systems will be merged.—Register. Mr. Chas. Burkholder is not unappre ciative of the manner in which Cottage Grove is playing base ball this season. He entertained the team at a banquet at the Holland House last evening. Messrs. Madsen and Scholl returned last night from Portland, where they attended the Jewelers convention. BEAUTIFYING OF TOWNS.. Necessity of Insuring Future Growth Along More Symmetrical Lines. The “city beautiful’’ is receiving at tention in a number of American mu nicipalities. In the large majority of them little heed has been given to beautification. While there are many beautiful towns and cities in the United States, this is due mostly to natural location and individual effort and not to any systematic scheme of improvement. Park commissioners have done much for the appearance of many cities, but they cannot do every thing that is desirable. In New York and Chicago there are well defined .movements with a view to relieving future congestion of popu lation and making additions to the cities more attractive and harmonious. It Costs a large amount of money to make a “city beautiful.” as in the cases of Paris and Berlin and Washington.- In all these cities untold millions have been expended for beautification. While it is not possible for many mu nicipalities to spend such enormous amounts, all towns can and should do something to insure future growth along more symmetrical lines.—Louis ville Courier-Journal. A Willing Scot. Dean Ramsay has a story of that border hostility between English and Scots which used to go to halter lengths. • A Scottish drover was re turning from the south in particularly bad humor with the English, having done poor business, when he saw in Carlisle a notice offering a reward of £50 to any one who would volunteer for the unpopular task of banging a condemned criminal. Seeing his chance to make up for his bad market and comforting himself with the thought that he was unknown there, he did the job and got his fee. As he was leaving he was taunted as a beggarly Scot, doing for money what no Eng lishman would. But he answered, with a cheerful grin, “I’ll hang ye a’ at the price.” Special one-Day sales For May 21 only Exceptional Values Wheeler ■ Thompson 'Cottage Grove r SATURDAY SPECIAL i Regular $2.00 to $3.50 Val Gauze Vests Special ues for Hat Sale REGULAR PRICE 1 OC $150 Men’s Ladies’ and Children’s Broken Sizes.
