IN FINE SHAPE
No Warrants Are More Than
Four Months Old; Others
Only Few Months.
As the result of a a seemingly
harmless injury received in a bas
ket ball tussle, Morrison Miller,
18-year-old Eugene boy died Fri­
day. His illness was of such a
nature that physicians were powor-
less to save him.
Morrison was a junior in pre­
engineering at the University of
Oregon and the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Bansom Miller, 334 Fifteenth
A week ago last
avenue east.
Tuesday his nose was Bmnshed
in a lively basketball practice on
the gymnasium floor. Three play
ers, each after the ball, collided
with each other.
After he had been treated by the
university physician, his condition
was not thought to be serious.
However, infection developed back
of tho injury and attacked the
brain covering, causing spinal men
ingitis.
The finances of the city of
Cottage Grove never were in bot­
ter condition than they now are,
Treasurer Eakin has issued a call
for all warrants upon tho general
fund bearing date before March
7, 1923, leaving outstanding war­
rants on this fund less than two
years of age.
Warrants on the
street fund have been called to
July 9, 1924, leaving the warrants
on this fund only nine months of
age. Warrants on the water fund
have been called to May 7, 1924,
leaving warrants on this fund only
six months of age. This fund is
retiring bonded indebtedness at
the rate of $6,000 the year and
is • derived entirely from water
rents.
The splendid condition of city
finances is due largely to a special
five-mill tax for retiring warrants

economical administration of city

Oregon Continues Dry.
Portland, Nov. 13.—While any
revision of federal policy in the
enforcement of the national pro-
hibition law which may be made
as a result of the findings in the
Hill case at Baltimore will be
followed by federal prohibition of­
ficers in Oregon, the Oregon bone
dry law, which declares illegal the
possession of any beverage con­
taining more than one-half of one
percent of alcohol, will prevent
any effect of a modification being
felt in this state, according to
views expressed by local law en­
forcement officers.
BENDER SAYS THOSE
LIVING HERE LUCKY
Lou Bender, who has been a
resident of Portland for several
years, has lost none of his love
for Cottage Grove.
He writes:
‘‘We are having a gale tonight.
We have had one continual round
of them for more than two weeks,
You are lucky to be living in the
sheltered spot of Oregon. I envy
you.
May your paper triple in
circulation. ’ ’
Pete Hansen Dies.
Christian (Pete) Hansen, for
many years a resident of Cottage
Grove, died Wednesday at a Eu-
geno hospital.
Tho funeral was
held here Saturday.
“Pete” and his brother Christ,
bachelors, owned property on the east
side. The latter died several years
ago and a year or so later “Pete”
made arrangements with the county
for a home at the county farm.
He was taken to a hospital shortly
before his death.
He was 70
years of age.
