Construction to Proceed Pending Deci
sion of Supreme Court on Uae
of Market Road Money.
A test ciise to determine whether or
uot market road fund» ran be applied
to tho work on Pueific highway north
of thia eity will be made, according to
Judge C. P. Barnard, of the couuty
court. Work on the highway bridge
over the Coast fork to the uorth of the
city was suspended a short time ago
by order of the couuty court when
Judge Kelly, in a Polk county case,
handed down a decision that market
road funds cannot be used for state
roads.
Hiuce the construction o f state roads
is under tbe direction of the state
highway commission, that body will
bring ubout the test case and it was
expected that the necessary papers
would be filed yesterday. The present
plau is to resume work on the bridge
hero pending the decision of the su
premo court.
The state highway commission is
anxious to have the question settled
definitely us the doubt has interfered
with road eonstruetiou in other parts
of the state.
The situation iu Lane county is re
garded as a typical case, while the
Polk county case is not, according to
Judge Baruurd. Polk couuty used mar
ket road money to puy a debt owed to
the commission and also obligated fu
ture courts in that couuty to pay. The
Laue county budget committee bud
geted $23,000 for the Cottage Grove-
uorth grade and to build the bridge iu
conjunction with the state. The item
so budgeted passed the taxpayers
meetiug aud is being expended iu a
regular way. Market road money has
been expended similarly in other coun
ties.

DAIRY BARN KEPT CLEANLY
AS WOMAN’S BOUDOIR
White * Powell Establishment Gives
Indication of How Milk Business
Haa Been Revolutionised.
The progress that has been made in
dairying during the past lew years is
indicated by a visit to the White &
Poweli dairy rauch, where ubout 30
head uf high grade stoek furnish the
lacteal fluid fur tbe milk route.
A woman dressed in silks hardly
feels out of place in the almost spot
less sanitary burn. No odor of any
kind offends the noetrila. Extracting
the milk is not the job it used to be,
either. Two milking machines operate
upon four cows at a setting and get.
the milk quicker thuu a calf could do
it and much quicker than could bu
done by the old humi method. The
installation of the machinery coat
about $500, but it easily saves that
amount in labor within a few months.
The bossies soon become accustomed to
this labor saving device, but by a very
simple method o f hitching their legs
together kicking is made impossible,
as cows have uot learned to kick with
more than oue leg at a time.
After the milk is extracted in this
business like and unsentimental inan-
uer, it goes through three strainers into
the large milk cans, which iu turn are
taken to the milk house, where it is
again strained several times in tho
process of being cooled and bottled.
The cooling is done by allowing it
to trickle over pipes containing run
ning water. Hardly anything is done
by the old-style method. Even tho
filling of the bottles is done with a
receptacle that fits the mouth of the
bottle aud has a valve to shut o ff the
flow when the bottle becomes filled.
It fills each exactly full without spill
ing a drop.
A few minutes later the milk is de-’
livered in tho city cool, sweet and
pure with uot a chance for a speck of
dirt to be contained thereiu.

FIRE W H ISTLE BLOWN SOON
I AFTER SHRINEK SIREN FOOLS
[THOSE WHO KNOW OLD FABLE
Residents of Cottage Grove were
remiuded Friday morning o f the old
story about the little boy who cried
“ Wolf, w olf,“ awhen there was no
wolf aud whose cries attracted no
attention when a wolf really did
come.
A Shriuer traiu on its way to San
Francisco stopped iu tho city long
enough to arouse the residents with
its siren whistle which sounded
much like the fire whistle
Tho
train had beeu pone but a few mm
utes when the fire whistle did blow,
a blaze having started iu the up
stairs bath room at the Cottage ho
tel. Hufficient help wa* at hauil to
extiuguish the mcipieut blaze with
a gardeu hose and no great danmge
waa done. It is thought that some
one threw the stub of a cigarette
into n corner and that this set fire
to a towel, which in turn set fire
to tbe woodwork.
