LORANE ROAD TO BE BUILT BY FORCE ACCOUNT Delegation Asks County Court to Use This Method in Order to Keep Money at Home. The last link in the Cottage Grove- Lonine highway, which the county court plans to build this year, may be done by "fo rc e account" by a county iv w. A delegation from Lorane called upon the county court Saturday and asked that this method of con struction be adopted instead of letting the contract to private parties, as had been the intention. On«* reason set forth by members ot the delegation was that to contract tin- job probably would mean that an out- side firm would get it. The profit on the work would then b<* taken out of tin* county and most of the men and teams would be brought in, thereby depriving local residents of a summer’s job. While na definite answer was given by member* of th«» court to th«* request of th«* delegation, it was stated after ward that the plan is favored. 1*. M Morse, county engineer, said that it is probable the court will go ahead and advertise for bids in order to ascertain what th«» work can lx» done for by private contractors. He predicted that if the bids were not well under th«* estimates of the road building depart ment th«* county will do the work it self. Engineer Morse said th«* county would be able to do this work with the equipment it has on hand, in addition to doing the several oth«*r big jobs that have been set aside ami which will not be awarded to private con tractors. Th«* engineers have completed run ning th«* lines for th“ Elmira -Noti macadam road and crows are at work on th<* several other projects to be carri«*«l through this year under the bonding program. It is predicted that ns soon as spring arrives Lane county will see th«* great est highway building program in its history under way. Even before con struction weather arrives a large num ber of imui will be employed in clear ing the right of way on several projects that extend through wooded sections.

Th«* purpose of the meeting is to familiar ize mothers with the purpos«- of the organization of the boys in th«* chorus and with the benefits to be derived therefrom. Mr. Whitney insists that boys whom he trains shall eschew’ cigarettes an«l shall keep in first elass moral uml physical condition, as otherwise they i-annot do their b«*st in chorus work. His obj«*ct is to bring out the b«*st there is in the boys and h<* has proved during many years of labor with boys that h<* has a tremendous influence with them. ____ NUMBER 21 SECOND MUSICAL EVENING IS SECOND TREAT Whitney Boys’ Chorus Is Welcome Addition to Musical Circle» of Musical City. The second evening of music given ut the Presbyterian church Suoda> was the equal, if not the superior, of the one two weeks before and was a revelation to outsiders not accustom«*.1 to finding so much musical talent out side the larger cities. An added fea ture was a chorus number by the local unit of tlie Whitney boys, of which Rev. A. R. Hpcurow is .Jirec-or. Gor «ion Wright accompanied on the piano. I he boys have been practicing only a short time but a number of voices have been found for which developing will do much. The chorus is a welcome addition to the musical circles of the city. Another added number was a violin solo by .Miss Vera Critchlow, »ho, it was announced, will [day reg ulurly ut the church hereafter. The Indies' chorus was directed by Miss Esther tSilsby and The CnC'roliers by Rev. .Spcnrou'. Miss Price accom pli nil'll on tlie piano and Miss Silsby oil tlie organ.
