Protection of Timber. Mrs. Bin Huntington, of l)ruin, is here recovering from injuries sustained in uu automobile accident Friday eve mug, when the car driven by Mr. Huntington wUN struck by u car from Portland. The acoident happened a short distance south of C'reswell. The Huntingtons were on their way home from the north. Mr. limitmg ton endeavored to slacken speed sufficient ly to permit the other car, headed north, to puss a horse drawn rig which was headed south. Ills brakes did not »pernte successfully and he found it impossible to slacken speed as much us uccessary to avoid striking the rig. He was in u predicament and tried to get around the rig before the other car could reach the s]H>t and he would have been successful in doing so but for the fact that his rear wheels skid ded and delayed him the few seconds that would have taken him out of dan ger. The other car evidently thought the Huntington cur would get out of the way without trouble and did not slacken its speed. The left front wheel ol the Portland car struck the left rear wheel ol tin* Huntington car and both err» were badly wrecked. The force of tb« impact whirled the Huntington cur around on the pavement and it struck the rig behind it, but without serious damage to the rig. Mrs. Huntington sustained a seven shock but Mr. Huntington and Miss Nellie Simmons, also u passenger, es caped without injury. The other car was driven by W. B. Put torso n, a Port lend architect, who was accompanied by his wife. They escaped injury. M A. Darlaud, of Cottage Grove, passed the seem* ol the accident soou after it happened and brought the Huntingtons into the city, taking Mrs. Huntington to the home of Mrs. Bar barn llohl. Hhe seems to I k * out of danger and to have suffered no inter- ual injuries. COOPER RANCH ON ROW RIVER SOLD TO RHULE The W. B. Cooper 60 acre ranch on tow river has been sold to H.

R E M A IN IN G R E SID EN TS SEEK D IS SO LU TIO N One little town in Lane county is tired of the privilege of being a j ciiy and its residents are tired of the eost of the luxury of living ui a municipality so steps have been taken to dissolve the corporation. Glenada, on the south bank of the Hi us la w river opposite Florence, is ! the city which has grown so small that it is a burden for the remain ing citiaena to keep up the eost of a city government. Years ago Glenn da was a rival of ' Florence ns a seaport city and me 1 t rnpolis of western Lane. George H. Colter, founder of the city, who settled there HO or more years ago, laid out the townaite on an exten sive scale. When every other place in Lane county w as voted dry, Glen nda went " w e t ” and for n tune was the only spot where Open sa * loons were operating in the county. The little city boomed until the state was voted dry and the city j treasury was deprived of its income from saloon licenses. From that j time on the population has steadily dwindled until the remaining few j! are unable to afford the mainte nance of a city government.

Congress is asked to sot aside the traet as a permanent watershed for this city’s water supply in order to safeguard the health ol the people using the water. LO C A L PE O P L E E N R O LL E D IN E X T E N S IO N COURSES PREVAIL OVER HECTIC TIME ON W A Y TO BIG GRIDIRON CONTEST Two University of Oregon co-eds, one of them from Cottage Grove, had a most hectic time getting to the big game at Corvallis Saturday. Accompanied by the Cottage Grove c o e d ’s younger brother and his pal, they left here in the co-ed’s family car. A short distance north of Eugene the motor went dead and all fcminii-c efforts to bring it to life were un availing. But emergencies of this kind mean little to tin up to-date co-ed. A co-ed in distress has little trouble in hailing assistance on the road. The young brother and his pal were bundled into a car that was Corvallis bound. A telephone in a farm house summoned a tow for the stranded ear. The key was left at the farm house and the two co-eds picked up n ride in a Ford. But their trouble» were not yet at an end. A few miles out of Corvallis a big Cadillac passed them and swung in ahead so quickly that the rear end of the big car slapped the Ford and the latter slipp'd into the ditch and turned turtle. The occupants crawled out but slightly injured. Just a moment before the accident one of the co-eds had asked the other for her powder puff, a necessary feminine accouterment of a motor trip which is not forgotten even under the most hectic circumstances. " H e r e ’s that powder p u ff,” was the first remark of the first coed to appear right side up in the* good old Willamette valley mud beside the highway. The Cadillac stood by until the damage to the co-eds had been repaired by a proper application of the feminine accouterment referred to and carried the occupants of the ear to the big game, whither it also was bound. And in the meantime— as we see in the comic section—a traffic officer passed the car which had been deserted by the co-eds. He suspected that the ear had been stolen and deserted by the thieves and immediately got into communication with the owner, who a few minutes later caught a stage from here and went to the place where his car was reported to be. And in the meantime some more, the service car from a Eugene garage had towed the derelict into the city. The much-puzzled owner of the car got a jitney into Eugene, inquired at the garage where he has before left the car and found it there with the motor trouble already adjusted. He drove the car homo. The co-eds were at their studies at the university Monday forenoon and are doing their best to keep their friends from learning the incidents of their journey to the agricultural college city. Fniversity of Oregon, Eugene, Nov. 20.— Seventeen Cottage Grove residents enrolled in the correspondence study courses of the University of Oregon, have- been invited to confer with Miss Mozelle Hair of the extension division at a meeting to be held at Hotel Bar t«‘11 on either December 1 or 2.

Johnny plans to put the fliv ver in training for a few months and give exhibition stunts. ^ ---------------- ■ ■ Stores May Close Thursday.

City water should be boiled before being used, for the present, was the announcement made by Dr. B. R. Job, city health officer, and Dr. A. W. Kime, chairman of the water committe, at the adjourned meeting of the city council Monday night. This precaution will be urged until the pipe line can be connected up with the new intake on Layng creek. The early rains are bringing down all of the refuse lodged ii the creek beds during the summer months, according to the health officer. Samples of tin? water of Layng creek at the site of the newly located city water intake have been takeu by the ion 1th official and sent to the state board of health m Portland fortesting. Testing of the water used on the west side of the city is also being made at the same time. The street committee was notified to instruct the City Transfer company that the streets must be cleaned early in the morning on Tuesday and Friday instead of later in the day, since the cleaner interferes with traffic and is a hindrance later in the day. The agreement between the city and the tnnsfer company provides that the streets bo cleaned at an early hour. Watch the label on your paper tf Williams Coaches Line for With Corvallis. Skilling W ill Flay Quarter. Cottage Grove has a good chance to defeat the Corvallis high school team this afternoon, according to Coach H ar greaves, who has every regular man in shape for the clash. "Bay. ” Williams, coach of the University of Oregon freshman team, has been working with Hargreaves every night this week put ting the line through some hard work. The team is 25 per cent stronger than when it met Lebanon two weeks ago, in the opinion of the coach, since Har ry Hkilling, who was out of that game 011 account of injuries, is back at his position at quarter. The game, which will be played on the Corvallis field, will begin at 2:30. Corvallis claims the upper Willam ette valley championship, having de feated Halem 3 to 0, Eugene 19 to 0 and Albany. Thanksgiving day Cottage Grove will meet Myrtle Point, champions of Coos county, on the Myrtle Point field. FE R R YS TO M O VE TRANSFER. B U S IN E S S; GAR A G E GOES IN W. G. Perry is making repairs to the east half of the Hpray brick near the Southern Pacific station and will move his transfer business from the west half of the building, which will be occupied by Earl Harkelroad with a garage business. Mr. Harkelroad several years ago conducted a garage business in the half of tho building into which Mr. Perry will move. He returned to the city last week, after an absence of several years, further demonstrating the fact that when one once has been a resident of this particular portion of the famous, fertile, fruitful Willam ette he never is satisfied until he has returned to become a permanent resi dent. S E N T IN E L L IN K S FORMER R E SID E N T S TO H OM E TO W N The following former residents of Cottage Grove, who find The Sentinel necessary although they have moved to other localities, have renewed their subscriptions during the past week: W. 8. A. Edlefsen, North Milwaukee, W is.; Ham Damewood, Azalea, Ore.; Mrs. Edna Kem, Omaha, Neb.; A. W. Gregory, Rockland, Me.; L. B. Guroutte, Sacramento, Calif.; L. A. Ralston, Dunsmuir, Calif.; E. R. Spencer and Alta King, Eugene; II. W. Vincent, Brownsville. Funds Allowed for Completing Work Stopped Last Spring; Property Valuation Is Higher. An ullottiuent of $20,000 is made in the county budget for 1923 for the bridge project at tho north entrance to this city, work on which was aban doned last spring when the suprem court decided that market road funds could not be used for Pacific highway work. The sum is tho largest amount given to any single project under the head of general roads and bridges in the county. The total assessed valuation of Lan county property this year is $31,550, 654, exclusive of the valuation piaceu upon properties of public service coi poi nt ions, or an increase of $928,134 over the valuation of last year. The amount of money to be raise», by taxation for county purposes wiL be practically the same as taut raised this year and the levy for this funu will be lower by reason of an increased, valuatiou placed on property by the as sessor, but the total levy is expected to be a trifle higher than it was for 1922 by reason ol an additional amount put into the budget for schools. In the schools allotments the d efi ciency fund is given $5200, the county school fund $131,290 and the school ii brary fund $1193, the total being $12,- 596 greater than was allotted to tho same funds last year. The increase is made necessary because there are 00U more persons of school age m tho county this year than last. A number of items were changed, the advertising fund being allowed an increase of $200, that for the care of the poor is increased $1000, tho courthouse fund is decreased $500, tho sh eriff’s office is given $1300 more, the district attorney's fund is in creased $45, the county surveyor is given $145 less, and the item for reg istration and election is cut from $12,000 to $2000 for the reason that there will be no election in 1923. TELEPHONE COMPANY IS REGROUPING ITS WIRES The Pacific Telephone Ab Telegraph ccmpany, which has been making some extensive improvements here, has re- giouped a number of its wires which cross the {Southern Pacific and Oregon Pacific & Eastern tracks, putting 50 pairs into a lead cable. The regroup ing was necessary because of the de mands for service in the eastern part of the city. About 75 new poles have been set in various parts of the city during the past few months and a ciew of "men has been working in and about the city a considerable part of H O LD U P M A N ARRESTED IN feveral months.

A large number of people were here from all sections of the surrounding country, many arriving early in the forenoon, and the stores of the city were kept busy all day. Many of those who ci me took advantage of the free show a the Arcade theater, paid for by the business houses of the city. Nearly every business concern of the city participated in the event. The Sentinel’s dollar day special was one of the most popular of fen d. Subscriptions at $1 each were given to the first two presenting their money qu Wednesday fore noon. The office boy got the money before the main crew got on the job. The two who were fortunate enough, or wide awake early enough in the morning, to get the specials were V. S. Goff and S. S. Plott. Many others arrived a few minutes later and were disappointed to barn that others had gotten their money in sooner. Albert Anderson had in tended to shove his money under the d«M»r as he passed the office at 2 o'clock a. in., but forgot to do so.
