L H PIANT TO RUN BY OCWI Repair Work and Overhauling Are Under Way; Earl Garoutte to Be Superintendent. A 4 The former Western Lumber ÒL Export company plant, purchased at receiver’s sale by the Anderson & Middleton Lumber company, will be ready for operation about October 1. B. F. Johnson announced yester­ day. A new band saw, the only new piece of machinery which, will be installed, arrived a number of weeks ago. A crew of ten men has been at work since the purchase of the property putting the machinery in running order. Earl Garoutte will be the super­ intendent and is in charge of the preparations for operations. He was with the Bohemia Lumber company until it ceased operations upon cut ting out its timber. From 70 to 80 men will be em ployed in the mill when operations are resumed and the woods crew employed by the Anderson & Mid­ dleton company, now providing logs for the company’s mill at Latham, will be increased by about the same number to keep both plants constantly in operation. A new compound two-speed unit donkey, with loader and yarder, has already arrived and will bo transferred to the woods as soon as work is coin menced. Operation of the mill will increase the daily cut of the Anderson & Middleton Company in this city to about 170,000 feet daily. The plant at Latham is cutting around 90,000 feet, while the W. L. & E. plant has a capacity of about 80,000 feet. Bad Fire Prevented at Saginaw. ♦--------------------------------------------------- ♦ | OREGON CLIMATE LAUDED I WHEN LOCAL PEOPLE SEE MINNESOTA RAIN STORM # Oregon has the best roads and climate of all the states, write Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Chapman, who are on a motor trip in the middle west. The Chapmans had just received The Sentinel which told of the amount of the recent rainfall and fwere inspired to compare Oregon’s precipitation with t.hat of Minne­ sota. During a night which they spent in Miuueapolis. 3.58 inches of rain fell between 8 p. m. and 10 a. m., thunder and lightning ac­ companying the downpour, while for a period of 36 hours in Oregon the rainfall was but .8 of an inch, On another night, while camped in a park at Ashland, Wis., the Chap- mans were kept awake for three hours by the thunder, which came in a continuous roll, with numerous loud crashes by way of variation. HONEYMOONERS SEE FORDS MADE AND SHIPPED HERE Mr. and Mrs. Dale Hawkins and Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Mayes, honey­ mooners on a trip through the cen­ tral states, were greatly entertained by their visit to the Ford plants at Detroit. On account of Mr. Mayes, being salesman here for the Ford company, the party were shown special attention and were given a special guide. They saw tho molten iron, the molten glass and other raw material used in the manufacture of Ford curs and Fordson tractors and saw it go in­ to the making of Fords and Ford- sons piece by piece. While they watched a number of cars were completely assembled and loaded for shipment to Woodson Brothers, Cot tage Grove—at least, they assumed they were being shipped here. Detroit is supported largely by the automobile industry and the Ford plants alone employ some 100,000 men. A considerable por­ tion of the expense of manufac­ turing flivvers must be that of showing visitors through the plants. Several parties of half a hundred or more go through them every day. The honeymooners had traveled 387(5 miles when they reached De­ troit and are now headed home. Saginaw, Ore..

Referring again to old copies of The Cottage Grove Lender, fur nished by Nirs. J. 1*. Graham, a fund of information concerning pioneer Cottage Grose and its residents is found in a New Year edition of January 7, 1»P9. A- an introduction to a mining story. Editor L. F. Wooley, yet living as a resident of Eugene, had this to say: “Cottage Grove is the iivest and most promising city in the valley. Ila mining industry is declined to surpass in extent and richness anything in operation in these United States and the city certainly will be entitled to term herself tho Eldorado of the west. A bird’s eye view of the city is given which shows many vacant spots where are now residences or business blocks. It was taken from mount David, where oil well oper­ ations are now in progress. Pictures are shown of the churches of the city and of the high school building which has just been torn down. It was spoken of as a most modern school building of which the school district was justly proud. Ut eresting beyond all other ma- terial in the special edition are the biographical sketches of the old pioneers, Thompson Simpson Lebow, William Small, Silas Lane, Clay- burne Voatch, James M. Chape n, Phillip Numbers, C. H. Wallace, John Currin, Joseph Taylor. Jerry Taylor, James Short ridge, Sylvester E. Voatch. William Currin, Wallace W. Shortridge and Jack Sears.

The first installment follows: (Cottage Grove Leader, Jan. 7, 1899.) William Small. The next pioneer coming to our notice is among the wealthiest and most, respected citizens of the up­ per Coast fork, William H. Small, born in Pettis county, Mo. In the spring of 1850 the Small train rolled out for the Willamett«' valley and wintered at Brownville, having made the journey in six months without serious accident. Mr. Small did not settle upon his homestead, however, until 1861, having spent the intervening years in other parts of the valley. About this time he was married to Martha A. Cooley, four sons and one daughter being bom to this union. These children are now numbered among the most prominent and re­ speeted people of south Lane. Their names are I. T.. Henry. Nancy C., G. A. and R. C. Small.

SiUSLAW MOONSHINERS GET SIX MONTHS AND FINES >------------------------------------------------ One reader of The Sentinel ad nuts that for a long time she doubted the truthfulness of some of the things she saw printed therein concerning the wonderful efficacy of Sentinel wantads but has been convinced. She became curious enough to test the wantads for herself and advertised a stove for sale. A few minutes after the paper was delivered the stove was sold and the nd was ordered out. Tho advertiser, Mrs. James Robison, is now convinced that so far as the stories printed about the wis- doni of using the wantads are con cerned The Sentinel is a very truthful newspaper.
