NUMBER 13 COTTAGE GROVE GETS ITS INFANTRY COMPANY Payroll of About $8000 the Year Will Come Through Organization of Military Unit. This city is to have a uvichine gun eompuiiy ut once, word to that vfivrt huviug been received Munduy by the chamber of commerce from Adjutant General White, who already hud prom isud Cottage Grove the next orguuizu lion to be authorized fur Oregon and who took, the matter up with the war dvpurtiumt while in Washington re cently. He was ut that tune promised either one or two infantry cumpuni«-.» lor the state and at once informed the interested ones here that they could expect one uf these within 30 days. The adjutant general promised this city u machine gun company in cas«? one should be allotted tu th«1 stat«*, but the first definite word receive«! by the chamber of commerce that a cum puny would be placed here was to th«’ effect that it would be a rifle cum puny. Becretury Miller immediately gut into communication with the ad jutnnt general’s office, insisting that the machine gun organization be sent here, aud the adjutant general agreed that such would be done. January V is the date for mustering in. The first detail to be carried out to secure the company is to get the r»« quired number of enlistments. E. C. Spray has been selected to perform this part of the work and has secured «piite a number oi names for th«« muster roll, although signatures hav«« not come in us rapi«J!y as wished. Seventy-five names is the number dr sired. The presence? of a company here will mean a payroll of something like $8000 a year. This city always lias taken a prominent part in military affairs and it is thought there will be little trouble in signing the required number of men.

Incomplete rvcorils kept at the park indicate that 2200 cars registered there during th«« season, so that the estimate of 5000 ¡HTsuns seems a conservative one. These figures do not take into consideration the large number who passed through the city without stop ping over night but many of whom made purchases here, nor of those who stopped nt hotels, so that the estimate of $30,000 .»¡H’ut by the tourists prob ably is well under the amount actually »¡H’Ut.

Bcveral hundred thousand dollars were *p«*nt, which amount would have made a considerable «lent on the market for a new product, but. Pearline was not a iK W product.

But few who once become a<lverti»er* ever follow in the footsteps of Pearline.
