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.

This «'ondition is due in ¡»art to thr

timate that 5000 persons stopped in
the auto eninp during the past *«’ason
and use uf the estimate uf the North
west Tourist association that tourists
»¡•«•lid un average uf $6 to the person
each «lay.
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.
Eugene figures that it* return from
tourists on 6,527 ears was $250,000.
With a third as many car* in the camp
here, and using the Eugene method of
figuring, and Eugene »ays its figures
ar«’ conservative, w«* should have re
ecuived $83,000 from the tourists who

ther that onr figures are under, rather
than over.
Beginning August 2, a fee of 25
rents a day was charged. This brought
a return of $195.25, aiding materially
in the upkeep of the park, where about
$10O0 was sj»ent for improveinciit* dur

— twenty years ago one of th«?
best known names in national
a«lvertising was James Pylu’s
Pearline. The advertising had
run continuously since 1873.
—in 1907, th«« concern having
passed into the hands of an
estate, the trustee* saw an
opjiortuiiity by which they coiihl
save many hundreds of dollars
by cutting out the advertising.
—Pearline lost favor rapidly and
in 1914 tried to come back.
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. It was trying to
com«; back, which is infinitely
more difficult, and it did not
succeed.
—another nationally known
produet stopped advertising
for one y<ar—and it took from
five t«j »even years to regain
the volum«« it lost.
—a m«?rchant can buihl up a
splendid business with permstent
advertising. But few who once
become a<lverti»er* ever follow
in the footsteps of Pearline.
