Government Is to Assure a
Sufficient Water Supply
for a Population of
3500 Persons.
Cut of Two Billion Feet Is Made
Possible by Resolution Which
City Council Adopts.
The city council and the forest
service have practically arrived at
an agreement whereby the sale is
permitted of about two billion feet
of timber upon the Layng creek
watershed, from which tho city
secures its supply of water.
The point upon which negotia
tions, which have been iu progress
several months, have hinged is
whether there is a sufficient supply
of water in Dinner creek, to which
point the forest service wishes to
move the city’s intake. The city
council has hesitated in concluding
the necessary negotiations for fear
that at the time of greatest con
sumption, when the water in the
creek is lowest, the supply would
not prove sufficient.
Measurements taken this year in
dicate that there is a greater supply
than the consumption should be for
a city of this size and the forest
service seems to have demonstrated
that, by the use of Prayther creek
as an auxiliary supply, there can be
no question of ample supply at all
times.
The forest service will extend the
city’s water mains to Dinner creek,
build an auxiliary line up Prayther
creek and construct concrete intake
dams at both points, all without
cost to the city. This is said to be
the first time the forest service
has taken action of this kind.
The purchase of this timber was
contemplated by the Western Lum
ber & Export company, which re
cently went into the hands of re
ceivers. It has been stated that had
the sale of this timber been permit
ted at the time the negotiations
were started early during this year,
the Western Lumber & Export com
pany would have been able to have
weathered its financial troubles.
The company planned to cut forty
million feet a year. Not until a
month ago, however, were there any
data upon which members of the
city council could depend for assur
ance that it was to have a suffi
cient water supply. It is thought
that this action of the city council
will assist in resumption of activi
ties at 'he Western Lumber & Ex
port company’s plant.
The following resolution was
adopted at the meeting of the coun
cil Monday night:
! CITY OFFICIALS FURNISH
I AUTOMOBILES FOB ULTRA
| PARTICULAR CAR THIEVES
<8>----------------------------------------------- ❖
Automobile thieves must have an
idea that cars owned by officials of
the city of Cottage Grove are of
unusually fine class.
Mayor Brand's new Chevrolet
coupe was stolen from Fifth Avenue
east in Eugene early Friday after
noon while he was transacting busi
ness in the office of the Booth-
Kelly Lumber company. The car
was parked opposite the rear of the
office of the company. When he
returned for it within 20 minutes it
was gone. It was found abandoned
on the streets of Mjedford Monday
and Mr. Brand went after it Tues-
day morning.
Mr. Brand had left his overcoat
and driving gloves in the car and
in the coat were some important
letters.
Councilman E. E. Eads had quite
a time securing the return of his
Hudson, which was stolen several
months ago. He also had to go to
Medford to get it.
Operations to Be Continuous Until
Company Keeps Its Promise
to Get Oil.
Drilling at Cottage Grove’s pro
posed oil well at the summit of
Mount David will be well under
way within a few days. Operations
were delayod for several weeks on
account of inability to secure neces
sary equipment. Everything has
now arrived and has been put in po
sition. The big standard drill will
make its first stroke at 3 o ’clock
this afternoon. The public has been
invited to be present and an address
will be made by David E. Olson,
president of the Guaranty Oil com
pany.
A large fuel tank has been placed
at the foot of Mount David and has
been filled. The oil will be pumped
up the hill to another tank which
has been placed there.
D. E. Olson, moving spirit in the
operations here and in Eugene, be
lieves that it will be possible to
keep operations going almost stead
ily until the time that he fulfills
his promise of securing oil within
two years from the date he made
the promise. He has kept his prom
ise to have a standard drilling out
fit in operation within six months.
Despite all that has been said
derogatory to operations of Sage &
Olson Brothers elsewhere, those who
are interested with him in the op
erations* here and at Eugene seem to
have implicit confidence in him and
to believe that there is a splendid
chance of their money increasing
many times through the operations
here.
The same concern, the Guaranty
Oil company, is conducting opera
tions at both Cottage Grove and
Eugene and stockholders in each of
tho cities will benefit from the
striking of oil at either well.

Proclamation
Citizens of Cottage Grove
are called upon to observe
Monday, November 12, as
Armistice Day. We should
cease from our usual labors
upon this day and dedicate
it to those who so nobly
served their country at home
and upon other shores dur
ing the great war which
came to a close upon Novem
ber 11 five years ago. We
should attend and assist in
ceremonies commemorating
the supreme service of those
who baptized the field of
honorable battle with their
life’s blood and saved to the
world the greatest free gov
ernment of all ages.
ANDREW BR.UND,
Mayor.
The city council already is mak-
ing preparations to guard against
shortage of water during the dry
season of next year.
Included in the plans now being
considered is an additional reser
voir on the property now occupied
by the east side reservoir, to have
a storage capacity of half a million
gallons of water. The present reser
voir, the use of which will be con
tinued, has a storage capacity of
less than 200,000.
The west side reservoir has a
capacity of 385,000 gallons. This
will be used as an emergency stor
age reservoir, as it new is, so that
with the contemplated additional
reservoir the city will have a water
storage capacity of over a million
gallons. It is estimated that this
storage capacity is sufficient for a
two days’ supply at maximum con
sumption. It is possible that this
storage capacity of the west side
reservoir may bo increased.
Material has arrived for the build
ing of a penstock at the city's in
take in the forest reserve. This will
start with a 20-inch pipe and be re
duced to a 12-inch pipe. Much diffi Leake's Orchestral Entertainers Are

tection of the waters of Prayther
creek within the forest reserve as
lias been granted in the contract
or agreement with the government
for the use of tho Dinner creek
watershed.
If for any reason the city shall
find, at any time during the contin
uation of logging operations upon
the Layng creek watershed, that
Dinner creek and Prayther creek
do not furnish a sufficient supply
of water, the forest service shall
grant to the city the use of the
Junietta creek watershed or any
other watershed (except the Herman
creek watershed) which the city
may deem necessary for its use,
snch watersheds to be tributaries of
Layng creek and within the forest
reserve and shall grant the city the
same rights upon such watershed or
watersheds as it now enjoys upon
the Dinner creek watershed.
When the preceding stipulations
are embodied in a contract or agree
ment from the forest service and (or)
department of agriculture, and ac
cepted by the city council, resolu
tion of the city of Cottage Grove,
adopted November 6, 1922, and all
other resolations in which the forest
service is requested to withhold
from sale the timber on Layng
creek above the mouth of Dinner
creek, shall become null and void
and the city council of the city of
Cottage Grove shall so declare.
The forest service has represented
that early action is desirable in
making possible the sale of timber
upon the tracts described in this
resolution. This fact has left insuf
ficient time for the city of Cottage
Grove to determine that the pro
posed sources of water supply are
going to prove suffieiont for even
the present population.
The very
fact of the sale of the timber which
makes this resolution necessary, is
likly to bring about an inereaae in
population and there are other rea
sons to anticipate a material growth
in population and need for a greater
supply of water than that likely to
be furnished by Dinner and Pray-
thcr creeks. Inn re fore this resolu
tion shall not be construed to in
dicate that the city of Cottage
Grove will ask for no other sources
of water supply.

IS VICTIM OF BRETHREN
Scores of Many Years Are Settled
When Masons Put on Some
Special Work.
M. H. Anderson, prominent hero
for many years in the lumber, pole
and piling busiuess and as an eligi
ble bachelor, now a newlywed, no
longer has any doubt as to the high
regard of his Maaonic brethren.
Upon Saturday evening they cap
tured him at the home of his par
ents-in-law, Mr. arfd Mrs. N. W.
White, on the London road, whisked
him to the lodge room, prepared
him in due and ancient form and
gave him some degree work that
was entirely new to him, despite
the fact that he has taken the Scot
tish rite werk and the Shrine. The
* ‘ work' ’ was different from most
Masonic work in that there was
nothing secret about it. In fact, the
greatest possible amount of publi
city was sought. A motor car was
the ‘ ‘ goat ’ ’ which Brother Ander
son led and rode through the main
section of the city. Tho cavalcade
of motor ears kept their horns
screeching and thereby attracted
such attention to the “ceremony”
that the regular week-end business
of tho city came to a complote
standstill.
Brother Anderson lator presided
as host at a crab feed which
thoughtful members of the “de
gree ’ ’ team had in readiness for
Mr. Anderson’s invitation. Fifty
Masons enjoyed the hospitality.
Mr. Anderson had returned two
days bofore from a trip to Sweden
to visit relatives. It is thought
that Brother Anderson had antici
pated what the brethren would have
in store for him aud thought it a
wise precaution to visit his Euro
pean relatives beforehand.
The bride, who was Miss Adello
White, met Mj. Anderson in Bur
lingame, Calif., where thoy were wed.
She is a daughter of one of the
best known pioneer families of Lane
county. She is worthy matron of
tho Eastern Star lodge and taught
for several years in the Cottage
Grove schools.
The Masonic lodge several years
ago adopted the custom of giving
special degree work to brethren who
become benedicts. Brother Ander
son, because ho had beon a ring
leader in several such events, got
more than any of the others. Plans
for his reception had been accumu
lating for many years.

Country Dsiiricts Go Solid
for Taxing Incomes.
Despite the heavy favorable vote
out over the Btuty, the proposed in
come tax law seems to have been
defeated by a few hundred votes,
due to a vote of two to one against
it in Multnomah county.
Lune county went nearly four to

voting. Cottage Grove was the only
city in the eounty to give an un
favorable vote and one of tho few
outside of Portland to do so. Three
Cottage Grove precincts voted fa-
torabiy, but tho heavy unfavorable
vote in the other two precincts gave
a majority of 23 against the tax.
In the country districts in tho
Cottage Grove section the vote was
373 for aud 44 against.
Many country districts ovor the
