U---- -- ----- ------------------- -- : OLD EDITION OF BOHEMIA NUGGET TELLS STORY OF CELEBRATION JULY 4, 1899 Old copies of a newspaper are almost as interesting reading as those just off the press. Old copies of Cottage Grove papers frequently come to light. They are brought forth from old gar rets, from old trunks and out of ’ ‘ catch-alls ’ ’ where they were put away years ago because of some item published therein which the owner of the paper wished to preserve. Mrs. G. H. Young has found a copy of the Bohemia Nugget dated July 7, 1899, which had beeu addressed to Jonston Tay lor, her former husband. According to this issue a big Fourth of July celebration had just been pulled off, during whieh celebration committees at Cottage Grove and at Bohemia 35 miles distant had signalled to each other with sky rockets. Things were lively iu the dis trict at the time. Everyone was striking pay dirt. Ike Bingham had just returned from the Mu sick, where the stamps had been put into operation. ’ ‘ There is a record-breaking future for this mine,” the paper predicted. ‘ ‘ Bohemia '' Sharp explained how he happened to come to Oregon by way of the Panama canal during the Civil war. Ziniker & Graber Brothers had struck a pay streak ac Fairview. Among the advertisements was one of fine wines and liquors. Possibly this had something to do with making prospects seem bo bright. Those were the days when printers could be hired at a price tha* made it possible to let them spend time twisting rulos and filling all blank spaces with ornaments. One of these rule twisters had made a first class imitation of the sole of a shoe, in which Hemenway & Burkhold er advertised a special line. Even the pegs in the heel were shown Nine varieties of type were used in one ad. Two kinds usually are sufficient for the modern printer and the effect is much more pleasing. The Elite aud BonTon were >n business at the time, but the former was a shaving parlor conducted by C. E. Griffith and | the latter a meat market con- i ducted by W. H. Beagle. Evidences of cooperation of the citizens with the mayor and council in the clean-up program launched are to be seen all over the city. A number of new board sidewalks and several stretches of cement walk have been put in within the past few weeks, but the shortage of lumber in small quantities on the lc<al market has delayed some side walk buildin; ig. In every instance, according to . H. H. Fiester, who has charge of the work, the people are anxious to do all they can toward beautifying the city and do not resent the suggestions he has made to them. Low-hanging trees and vines aud bushes which have grown over thé il sidewalks have been trimmed off or torn out and many people have caught the inspiration and are cleaning up their yards and making their houses more attractive. Spring clean up day will be held soon, although no date has been set, aud that will serve as a wind up of the campaign. The Civic club, which has an uounced a sweet pea show to be held in June or July, may sponsor some kind of a contest to run all summer in which prizea will be given for the best kept home or street in the city. Iu line with the Civic club’s improvement program, Mrs. Clara Burkholder, president, lias gathered suggestions for im provements of the city from a num ber of citizens. Nearly every person voiced disapproval of the old build ings about the city, especially those along old Pacific highway on the west side of the city and those near the station and along the railway tracks through the city. Many of the buildings are not occupied and are both unsightly and dangerous. Additional sewerage many people thought to bo an urgent need and several suggested that a man to gather garbage at regular intervals be employed by the city, the ex pense to be borne by the citizens. Others suggested that persons who keep cows and other livestock with --------------- ---------------- -------------------- ■■ 11 in the eity limits should bo re quired to keep the quarters sanitary.

Baunders, of this eity, will take over the Monroe studio about April 1 instead of March 1 as was stated in The Sentinel last week. Mr. and Mrs. Monroe will leave then for the south to spend some time traveling through California and other southern states. 15 women of the auxiliary were present. The membership contest recently conducted within the organization ended Monday night, George Proc tor’s side losing to the side cap tained by Ivan Warner. During the campaign the membership of the post more than doubled, having in creased now to 54. The winners will be given a feed by the losers. Fu ture meetings of the Legion are to be held in I. O.

After the addresses the members were enter tained with a picture show of the sanitarium conducted by the Modern Woodmen at Woodman, Colorado. Watch the label on your paper. ARSENICAL ORE DEPOSITS MAY BRING ACTIVITY Mineral in Bohemia District, Long * Considered a Nuisance by Miners, Now Valuable. Au inquiry from the United States geological survey as to whether arsenical ores are found iu the Bohemia district may mean add ed activity for this camp during the comiug summer. There are large deposits of this ore which miners for gold have considered a nuisance, the same as platinum once was con sidered in tile older mining dis- tricts. Arsenic is manufactured from the arsenical or white iron ores and the price of this has doubled during the past few years, being now quoted at 14 cents the pound. It is largely used in combating plant diseases, especially the cotton weevil of tho south. The price of other ores found in the Bohemia district also has ad vanced materially. Lead is now 8% cents, copper is 16% cents and zinc is 9 cents. Quicksilver has jumped to $72 the flask, which may mean the opening of the cinnabar mines at Black Butte. The main gold ore vein has been struck on the Green Rock property three miles above Lundpark in the Bohemia district. A number of men have been employed there during the entire winter.

Notwithstanding that he has lost twice to Hand, he still believes he can beat the local grappler. Their last match was at the Butchers ’ and Grocers’ annual picnic here last August. Hand says Barnes is one of the toughest propositions he has ever taken on. The Nebraska boy is a brother of Pete Sauers, former light heavyweight champion, who lost a handicap match to Hand a short time ago and who was de feated in Portland Wednesday night by Ted Thye, who relieved Sauers of the championship bolt in Jan uary. Butler is a prominent Portland middleweight, who has met few re verses and has a considerable fol lowing. He and Hand wrestled a draw at Gold Hill last year. NUMBER 25 ------------- ''........................................................................... CLIMATOLOGICAL REPORT UPHOLDS COTTAGE GROVE’S CLAIM TO MILDEST CLIMATE Cottago Grove claims to have the mildest and most equitable climate of almost any place in Oregon, which is equivalent to saying any place in the world, which fact makes interesting a study of climatological data for the year 1922 issued by the fed- oral department of agriculture, Such a study is all in Cot- tage Grove’s favor, It is im- possible to publish all the data but the following examples give an idea of how much more fav ored this city is than are other places: Highest temperature—Cottage Grove, 97; Medford, 108; Eu gene, 102. Lowest temperature— Cottage Grove, 10; Medford, 9; Eugene, 16. Precipitation—Cot tage Grove, 43.67; Medford, 17.01; Eugene, 37.06. Snowfall— Cottage Grove, 4.4; Medford, 10.0; Eugene, 5.8.

HAS DEVELOPED SWELL IDEAS AND CHEEK Friends of Ernest Sears are worried about him. He seems to have developed an inflated idea of his own im portance and his display of cheek has been so noticeable that his former friends have hesitated to speak to him for fear of being snubbed by this former jovial member of the proletariat, who now seems to bo all swelled up. It is understood, however, that Ernie is beginning to feel rather lonesome anil wishes he were again ns other people. He vo ciferates that his friends havo misunderstood him, that it was only a severe case of mumps and that his heart beats as strongly as ever for those who once were his boon companions and bosom friends.
