TWICE A WEEK
VOLUME XXXV
COTTAGE GROVE, LANE COUNTY, OREGON,
Otto Michel was found late Sat
urday afternoon in his room in the
Cottage hotel unconscious from the
effects of a paralytic stroke. The
physician who was called thought
tho stroke must have overcome him
early during the night before,
probably between 7:30 and mid­
night. Mr. Michel frequently left
the hotel early in the forenoon to
be gone all day and the fact that
he had not arisen was not known
until the room was entered for the
purpose of cleaning it up for the
day.
,
The members of the family were
immediately notified and those that
are here are Mrs. W. A. Coffin nnd
Mrs. Anna Brockus, of Portland,
and Otto Michel Jr., of Roseburg,
Another son, Henry C, lives at
Sheridan, Wyo.
Mr. Michel has not regained
consciousness and no hope is held
out for his recovery.

Ornamental • shrubbery and trees
which have suffered possible in
juries from the recent freeze need
not, and in fact had better not, be
cut until spring, when the extent
of the damage can be more fully
determined.
This is the word given by A. L.
Peek, head of landscape gardening
at the Oregon Agricultural college.
“Where branches have been
broken by the snow wo find it best
to trim them off smoothly soon
after the freeze and paint the
wound,’’ said Professor Peck, “In
any other circumstance it is safest
to leave them entirely alone. Nor­
mally the extent of the damage
will not be fully apparent until the
warm weather begins, probably
about May 1. On the other hand,
plants that look now as • though
they were killed or badly damaged
may come through without serious
injury.
“When is is clearly seen how
much damage is done and which
plants have been injured, the dead
parts may be trimmed back to live
wood, care being taken to make
smooth cuts and to paint the
wounds. Even where most or all
of the top has been killed there is
little or no advantage in replacing
the plant. In nearly every case
the woody shrubs will sprout be­
low the injury and replace the
dead top with remarkable rapidity.
“Many of our largest shrubs
were killed back to the snow line
in 1919. One kind especially, the
Portuguese laurel, as it is com­
monly known, had to be cut till
the snrubs appeared to be ruined.
Instead, fast growing sprouts cov­
ered the ugly wounds the first sea­
son and the normal size and beauty
was restored much more quickly
than if they had been replaced.’’
Another reason for delaying cut­
ting mentioned by Professor Peck
is the fact that Borne plants that
may eventually die from the effectB
of low temperatures often show no
effectB of the freeze for more than
a year. Some plants, in fact, which
went through the cold »poll of 1919,
only recently showed the unmis­
takable effects of it.
Even if
thesp kinds have to be removed
eventually, they provide beauty
while the sorts that have to be
cut down the first spring are mak­
ing ther ^recovery.
NEASE ABOUT TO SUE
FOR TIMBER CRUISE FEE
County officials believe that M.
G. Nease is about to file suit
against the county for the collec­
tion of a fee of about $25,000 for
cruising Lano county timber last
year. The county court, all mem­
bers of which are for a cruise of
the timber, refused to pay the bill
on the grounds that the terms of
the contract had not been complied
with. The county court is arrang­
ing to defend the suit.
Nease has had suits to secure
settlement of his accounts in sev­
eral counties of the state in which
he has cruised timber.
