on an easy grade. The ridge would
be followed until the line dropped
down to the old military trail east
of the mountains. Great timber
resources would again be tapped
and the line would need an outlet
to California, in which market
75 per cent of the timber of this
section is sold. It would also be
desirable to give residents of Idaho
an outlet to California. Both of
these objects would be secured by
hitching onto the Oregon Trunk
at Bend, onto the Burlington some­
where in central or south-central
Oregon and onto the Western Pa­
cific ’s narrow gage at Lakeview,
the latter giving the outlet to
California.
It will bo noted that several of
these lines already are related in
their ownership and operation, mak­
ing the plans of the Cottage Grove
railway builders ail the more feas-
ible.
Rain and Freeze Hard
The road to Culp Creek and
Rujada is unusually bad this winter
due to the recent rains and the
heavy traffic according to resi­
dents of that vicinity. The greater
part of the road to Rujada is
gravel and in many places it has
cut down so bad that it is difficult
to get through. The freeze and
cold »pell just before Christmas
left the ground unusually soft
and was hard on the road bed»,
It now takes two hours to cover
the 18 miles between Culp Creek
and Cottage Grove. Rome of the
member» of the band, who were
planning on coming in to play for
the Alumni Orpheum at the high
school gymnasium Friday evening,
were unable to start after working
hours and arrive here in time to
take part in the program.
BOY PLAYING WITH AX
LOSES THUMB FROM CUT
Donald Wick», 4-year old son of
E. J. Wicks, while playing with an
ax, Thursday, inflicted so severe
a cut on his right thumb that
physicians were forced to amputate
it. The accident happened while
the boy was playing with other
children at the Wicks ’ home.

Man Back From 'Trip
Finds Property
Is Occupied
In September O. S. Rounsville
went out to his farm, about five
miles from Cottage Grove, locked
all the windows and doors, shut
the gate, came back to town and
took the train to Montana. While
away he thought very little about
his Oregon property, except, per
haps, to wish he had someone to
take care of it.
In January Mr. Rounsville board­
ed the train in Montana and came
back to Oregon. A few days ago
he took an automobile truck and
went out to his farm to see if the
weeds were growing in the front
yard or if anything needed atten-
tion.
As he drew up in front of the
house and started to turn the
truck around, the front door flew
open and out came a man very
indignant at the intrusion.
Mr. Rounsville looked at him
in astonishment. “Hello, does some­
one live here!” he inquired.
*
“They sure do,” replied the
man.
The owner of the property finally
convinced the other he had a right
on his owq. place. He is now pre
paring to collect his rent.
Broom Factory Planned
By Local Man
R. R. Wilkinson, who has pur­
chased an ncro at Sixth stroet and
Grant aienue, will attempt to raise
broom corn and establish a factory
to turn out finished brooms. Mr.
Wilkinson, who has had experience
making brooms in Minnesota, be-
lieves that broom corn can be
profitably grown in this vicinity.
It has been a number of years
since this industry has been at­
tempted around Cottage Grove. In
early times broom corn grew in
the vicinity but was not very suc­
cessful. Difficulty was found in
getting it to mature early enough
to be harvested before the frosts
Before brooms were brought on
the market, however, broom corn
grown in Oregon was a great im­
provement over the willow limb
with the leaves and branches left
on, or a broom made by whittling
long shavings and binding them
around the end of a stick.

The boys’ basketball team of
the Cottago Grove high school was
defeated by the heavier and more
experienced team at the game in
Marcola Friday evening by a score
of 32 to 14 but the high school
girls won from the Marcola girts
by a score of 13 to 32.
The passing of the local boys
showed a distinct improvement in
the game Friday evening but their
lack of experience made it impos­
sible for them to hold their own
with the Marcola team. Some of
the Marcola players had four years
of basketball experience back of
them and were well grounded in
the fundamentals of the game.
Both games were cleanly played
and good examples of sportsman­
ship.
