DODGE CHASSIS BOUGHT BY FIRE DEPARTMENT RALPH HAND WINS FROM HENRY BURKE AT ALBANY Ralph Hand, popular local middle weight wrestler, defeated Henry Burke, the Third, of Omaha, at Albany Tues day night iu a fast match. Burke won the first fall with a head scissors and arm bar in 36 minutes, and Hand took the second fall with a wrist lock and leg scissors iu 23 minutes and the last fall with a toe hold in 12 minutes. The match, which was held iu the armory, was one of the features of the Linn county fair. 3010 Registered at O. A. C. Corvallis, Ore., Oct. 3.— Registration of 3010 at O. A. C. was recorded up to the tenth day, according to an nouncement by the registrar. This brings the total number of students for the school year, including summer se-siOU, tO 4121. The number of students attending the institution from other states was cut down from 842 on the tenth day last year to 579, largely due, it is said, to increase of non resident tuition for entering students from $60 to $165 a year. California leads other states with 237, while Washington has 210. .Students from 30 states are enrolled and every county iu Oregon is rep resented. Twenty nine young men and women come from 15 foreign countries. FIND COTTAGE GROVE BEST PLACE FOR LABOR Driving 1200 miles from Westwood, Alberta, Can., to Cottage Grove, W. I). Stroud and sou W. F.

On Friday, the Inst day on the road, they came from Colfax to Cottage Grove, a distance of 450 miles, from 7 a. m. Friday to 4 a. m. Haturday morning. W. F.

The merchants and the laboring class are better o ff here than any place they had visited, according to the Htroud*, who saw many men working for $2 a day in the harvest fields both if* this country and Canada.

FORD COMPANY BOYS OLD THRESHING OUTFIT First Threshing Outfit Used in Kel logg-Elkton Country to Be Pre served as Relic. Oakland Tribune: An old 24 inch threshing machine that had seen nearly 60 years of service in the Kellogg- Elkton country was brought to Oak land Saturday by T. E. Higginbotham of Little Canyon, its latest owner, and started on a long trip east to the in dustrial museum of the Ford Motor company at Detroit, Michigan. There it will be carefully preserved as a relic of early farming days in this section. The Ford company paid $400 for the machine delivered in Oakland. The machine, which is said to have been known as the old John Freyer machine, was manufactured iu Buffalo, N. Y., by the Hitts factory and was shipped around the Horn to Trad well & Co., at Hun Francisco iu 1865. It is said to have been purchased from them the same year by Freyer and Heddon and to have been brought up by boat to Seottsburg. It had several owners during its stay iu the Elkton neighbor hood and it had a worthy record of usefulness that was widely known. Practically all the older residents of that section have worked with it at some time or other. In latet; years the introduction of newer and larger machines rather dim med the glory of this pioneer until it gradually fell into disuse. The lowest ebb of its existence came a few years ago when Mr. Higginbotham bought it at an auction sale for $5.00. After making some repairs he found that the machine would still do good work so it has been used regularly since. Pioneer settlers who knew the ma chine in its early days will be glad to know that instead of going ignomin iously to the scrap heap as junk it will be given a place of honor among the nation's keepsakes in keeping with its long and honorable service.

STEWART APPOINTED FEDERAL INSPECTOR Lane county shippers of fruit aud vegetables are to eujoy a privilege they have long sought— inspection of produce at the shippiug point. At a meeting with representatives of the federal bureau of markets iu Salem Saturday C. E. Stewart, county fruit inspector, was designated a federal in spector. Mr. Stewart has for years in spected incoming fruits, vegetables and plants for disease uiider state super vision He is uow to inspect outgoing shipments. The new provision for in spection under the supervision of the federal bureau of markets at the ship ping poiut enables a shipper to get a certificate for his shipuieut that it is up to a certain grade. After this grade is established it eau uot be dis puted except in the courts. Fruit ship pers have experienced the difficulty of shipping contracted t’ruit east ou a falling market aud when it arrived to keep from paying the contracted price the buyer declared it was below grade. Under the federal system the buyer will be compelled to take it at the inspected grade. The system is iu use iu California and Iowa where it has worked well. Recently it was established iu Wash ington. It was established iu Oregon when an agreement was reached be tween the state and federal govern ment. While inspection at the ship ping point is optional with the shipper it is believed that practically all ship pers o f produce will be anxious to establish a grade on it before it is sent to the buyer. Especially will the new arrangements be welcomed by the ri|>e and green fruit shippers. Young folks are too quick to criti cize the way of older people— and older people are sometimes too slow to give younger ones a chance to see if their ideas amount to anything. The wautads make very interesting reading. if Keep Cottage Grove Going Ahead Buy Stock in the New Hotel, 100% Cottage Grove Investmt You can see what you ¡»pend your luouey for every day in the year.
