were named for the coming year.
The construction of the proposed
new sawmill of J. H. Chambers and
Hon, one of Cottago Grove’s newest
industrial developments which was
expected to provide work for a
large number of men during the
coming year in construction camps,
may bo abandoned because of diffi­
culties in making arrangements for
the right of way for the ten - miles
of railway which would bring the
lumber from the mill to a shipping
point.
In December Mr. Chambers pur­
chased a tract of timber land five
miles west of Cottage Grove on
which there are 56,000,000 feet of
mature timber. It was the inten­
tion of the local lumberman to in­
stall a mill of about 100,000 feet
capacity which he would operate
with hiB son, Victor Chambers.
This tract of land together with
other holdings already poseessed by
Mr. Chambers in that vicinity
would have provided work for a
large crew for several years. Con­
struction work was to have started
immediately and it was estimated
that the mill would be in operation
within a year.
This entire project will be aban-
doned unless satisfactory arrange-
ments can be made with holders of
property over which the right of
way for the road must pass was
the statement made by Mr. Cham-
bers yesterday.
“Land holders over which this
right of way must pass are holding
their property at two or three times
its actual value,” Chambers said.
“We will not pay the price asked
and may be forced to give up the
entire enterprise on that account.”
It is expected that the question
will be definitely settled within
the next three or four days.
In an effort to bring about an
understanding between Mr. Cham
bers and the holders of the prop­
erty over which the road will pass
the chamber of commerce is inter­
viewing a number of persons inter­
ested in the transactions today. It
is the intention of the chamber to
take every step possible to bring
about the construction of the mill.

of the approaching contest for

the state were given at a noon
meeting of the agricultural com­
mittee of the Portland chamber ol

The contest was explained by H. C.

cooperative marketing, the first
three of which were in the hands
of the printer and soon to be sent
to the different county agents and
club leaders throughout the state
for distribution to all club members.
Prof. Macpherson is recognized as
being a leading authority on the
subject having been a deep student
of cooperation as now established
not only in this country, but the
principal countries of the world
also.
After lessons covering the en­
tire field have been worked out by
the club members, there will be

Olive May McCue Bride
of James F. Smith
The marriage of Olivo May Mc­
Cue and James F. Smith took place
Tuesday at 2 o’clock p. m. at the
Methodist parsonage, Rev. John H.
Ebert, performing the ceremony.
The bride is a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. P, C. McCue and the groom
is a farmer of this vicinity. The
couple are uncertain where they
will live but will be at the home
of the bride’s parents for the next
few weeks.
Mrs. Smith is one of the youngest
brides in Lane county for a number
of years as she was only six days
past fifteen years old when the
license was granted in Eugene
Monday. Mr. Smith gave his age
as 50. The two had applied at
the county clerk’s office several
weeks ago for the license but it
was refused them on the grounds
that the woman was too young.
Mrs. J. F. Conklin and Mrs. P.
0. McCue were present at tho
wodding Tuesday. No other guests
were invited.
John O’Shea, tho man arrested
here by Deputy Sheriff G. B.
Pitcher, is wanted in Klamath Falls
in connection with the murder of
Oscar Erickson, card room propri*
etor who was killed January 4.
Reports from Klamath Falls state
that O’Shea is suspected of being
the driver of the car which stood
in front of the place where the
robbery and murder took place.
O’Shea is a prominent sheep
raiser in Klamath county t^d
much surprise was expected there
when it was learned that he was
implicated in the confesión of the
crime made by John Taylor, 26
year old son of a prominent Jack-
son county pioneer family. Thj
man taken here is said to be well
to do. The charges against him
are believed to come as a result
of his association with the others.
It is said that his wife made the
masks which were worn in the
hold-up.
Following his arrest here the man
was taken to Eugene by Deputy
Sheriff Van Svarverud aud placed

Two Jobs Await Bede
When Legislature
Opens Session
Elbert Bede, editor of The Sen­
tinel, who is now in Salem acting
as reading clerk of the house of
representatives, found himself in
tho unique position of having two
legislative jobs waiting for him
when the session opened last Mon­
day morning.
Bede not only had the job in the
house certain but he also had 17
senators pledged to give him the
same job in the senate if he saw
fit to take it. He has held the
house job for several terms.
M. F. Hardisty, of Astoria ,wan
tho only other candidate for the
senate position and there were no
candidates other than Bede for the
place in the house, While tho 17
senators were enough to givo Bede
the senate position he took tho
placo in the house instead when he
was unanimously olected by the
lower body.
This is the first time in legis-
lative history, it appears, that any
man has held two good legislative
jobs in the hollow of his hand
with a free choice of either of
them, says a news story in the •
Oregon Journal.
Committee Appointments Made
on Basis of Service by
House Heads.
Lane Delegates Well Treated;
Fisk and Wheeler on
Ways and Means.
By ELBERT BEDE
State Capitol, 8alem, Ore., Jan.
12.—This session is starting differ­
ently than any I have attended.
For tho first time probably in the
history of Oregon legislatures the
conimitte appointments in both
houses were announced at the
opeuing session of the opening day.
Complete organization of both
houses was effected at the fore­
noon sessions and everything was
cleared away for the governor’s
address.
Committeo assignments • seem to
have been made with the idea of
greatest service, sometimes an un­
usual feature, but with old and ex­
perienced legislators like Gus Moser
as president of the senate and
Denton Burdick as speaker of tho
house that was to be expected,
especially when for two months
they had been certain of their posi­
tions and had spent that time in
arranging tho committee assign­
ments.
There was no hitch anywhere in
the slated program and it was but
a short time beforo Moser was
presiding over tho senate and Bur-
dick over tho house. There was
no attempt to hide the fact that
the program was going per slate.
The temporary and permanent of­
ficers did not try to hide the fact
that thoy were using a typewritten
Bheet for every movo anil for ap­
pointment of temporary committees
authorized by an apparently spon­
taneous motion. There was a slight
interruption in tho senate when
Temporary President Ritner ne­
glected to turn over to President
Moser the typewritten program.
In the committee appointments
Lano county ha« fared well and
is represented on the ways and
means committee from both senate
and house, Fisk being on from tho
Henate and Wheeler from the house.
Herbert Gordon, formerly of Eu­
gene, for the fifth time, heads the
powerful ways and mentis com­
mittee.
In the organization, Representa­
tive Hamilton, formerly of Eugene,
nominated Burdick for the speaker­
ship and Gordon seconded tho nomi­
nation, both later participating in
conducting Burdick to the speak­
er’s chair.
Committee appointments for Lane
members were as follows: Wheeler
—cities and towns, chairman, im­
migration, ways and means, live­
stock. Potter—Commerce and navi­
gation, chairman; mining, judiciary.
Howard—Agriculture, game, roads
and highways, counties.

ON THE MOVE
Like tho “standing army” that
“just stood,” goods that remain
on the shelf are expensive lux­
uries to any merchant.
ADVEBTIHING is the force that
moves slow sellers from counter
to customer. Every advertise­
ment is a salesman of proven
ability, reaching every class,
creed and sex in tho community.
The set-up of an Advertisement
