The Creswell Fruit Growers’ Bank
had its annual meeting Tuesday even
ing at which the directors for the en
suing year were elected as follows : C,
H. Sedgwick president, Dr. L. D. Scar
brough vice presidént, and H. E. Rich
ardson, cashier. The directors elected
were Dr. L. D. Scarbrough, Hon. Geo.
Gilfrey, Geo. Pirie, A. G. Bohmstedt
of Minneapolis and C. H. Sedwick.
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.”

Ways to an Untimely End.
The catalogue of the ways and means
employed by otherwise sensible people
to incur thè risk of disease and an
untimely end include running to catch
trolley cars, breathing rapidly through
the mouth instead of deeply through the
nose, eating too hastily and overeating,
“slouching” instead of standing and
walking in an erect attitude, using un
necessary stimulants, failing to exter
minate the pestilential housefly, which
goes blithely about carrying thè germs
of disease; sleeping in ill ventilated
rooms and failing to protect food from
flies and other insects by proper screen
ing.—Philadelphia Press.
