Mr. Brown had lived here but two months, coming here from Wallowa county for the benefit of his health, which seemed to bo greatly improved until he was stricken with influenza.

CONSTRUCTION TO START ON HIGH POWER LINE Three surveying parties composed of five men each arc actively engaged on tin* survey of the new power trans mission line of the California Oregon Bower eom jinny from Prescott to Springfield. One party with head quarters at Eugene is working out from Springfield and the others are at Cottage Grove and London Springs. It is expected that construction work will start about April 1, when the survey on th«* southern terminal of the line will be completed. Six to eight miles of the survey has been staked out from »Springfield, ac cording to A. G. .Sharp, engineer in charge of the work, who states that the equipment for the power line will lu* here by the first of the month. Owners of overland jitney lines which operate into and through Cot tage Grove have come o ff their high horse and have expressed themselves to the effect that they believe the city council is trying to treat them fairly. They no longer cont«»nd that it is not -within the power of the city to exact a license fee for operating through the city even when no passei gers are carried to or from the city. The jitney interests were well rep- resented at the special meeting of the council Monday night and two of their spellbinders from Portland wore hero to ap|>eal for as low a license fee as possible. They said that dire threats of what the jitney.«» would do to Cot tage Grove were not authorized by th«* jitney owners. The city council did not in any wrny recode from its firm position that the jitneys shall pay their way blit made it plain, as it always has done, that there is no disposition to tax the jitneys as a source of income. JOYRIDERS ARE BUSY; BUCKSHOT PREPARED Joyriders got away with the Hugh Proiidfit car Saturday night. It was taken from the Proudfit garage at Dorena and was found on Birch avenue here Sunday morning. A supply of groceries which had been left in the car had not been touched and nothing was harmed about the ear but the thieves had used about three gallons of Mr. Proudfit’.« gasoline. Stealing cars for joy rides is getting to be quite the rag«» in this section. On«* owner of a car that has been twice stolen states that he lias a gun loaded with buckshot and that th«* next fellow' who tries to get away with his buzz wagon w on’t g«»t a chance to answer any questions. FARM ERS A SK E X E M P T IO N ON GRO UND S T H A T T H E Y A LSO W O R K FOR N O T H IN G A number of farmers with a keen sense of humor have presented a petition to the county court and prosecuting attorney asking that in asmuch as the projierty of a hos pital has been taken o ff the tax rolls on the grounds of being a eharitable institution, that they be declared exempt on the same grounds. The petition read ns fol lows: To the honorable county court and prosecuting attorney of Lane county, Oregon: Seeing you are very charitably in clined to large corporations claim ing charity ns an excuse for ex emption from taxation because jxirt of their help work for nothing only board and clothes, Wo farmers work for nothing and board and clothe ourselves.
