Interesting Event« in the Lives
Building Activity and Water Works
Discussed at Meeting of
Local Busines Men.
The Cottage Grove Commercial
Club will affiliate with the state
Chamber of Commerce as the re­
sult of action taken at the meet­
ing Thursday evening. It ’is ex­
pected that this connection with
the state body will make for bet­
ter cooperation with other clubs
and bring about better efficiency
in the city organization.
The matter of establishing a
hospital ih the city was discussed
by the club members. Although
no action was taken in the matter
the club fully realizes the need of
a hospital and intends to take
whatever action is possible to bring
one here.
The housing situation, which has
become very acute during the past
year, was also a topic for discus­
sion. Building activity in Cottage
Grove was light in 1924 althougn
industrial development was very
pronounced. As a result it is ex­
tremely difficult to take care of
the present population of the city.
With the building of ten miles of
railroad and the establishment of
a big sawmill by J. H. Chambers
during the coming year, with in­
creased activity on the part of the
Anderson 4 Middleton Lumber
company of Oregon, which put its
large mill “ B ” inside of the eity
limits in operation Friday, and
with other plants and industries
running to full capacity, it is felt
that considerable building activity
will be necessary in the city dur­
ing the coming year.
The question of improvement of
the city water works was also
taken up by the club. It is pro­
posed to build a new storage res­
ervoir which will increase the
available supply of water and give
better fire protection.
Motions were passed authorizing
the appointment of a membership
committee and providing that mem­
bership cards should be issued to
members of the chamber.
8. L. Mackin was appointed by
the club to make arrangements for
a permanent meeting place. 8. L.
Godard was appointed to make a
report on the housing situation at
the next regular meeting of the
club. A membership committee is
to be named by R. L. Stewart,
president of the club, in the near
future.
Meetings of the club are held
on the first and third Thursday of
each month, at present in Phillips
Hall, but a permanent meeting
place will be arranged later.
Numerous inquiries have been
received from persons interested in
coming here for the purpose of
making homes, starting industries,
or engaging in professional pur­
suits, and a number of these letters
were read.
COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETING
POSTPONED FOR THIS WEEK
The meeting of the commercial
club which was scheduled for
Thursday evening, February 5, has
been postponed until the following
Thursday, February 12. This was
necessary because Phillips hall,
where the meetings are usually
held, was rented for another pur
pose for next Thursday.

found on the Joe Perkins farm
Friday. Inscribed on this block is

words “April” and “May”. It
fa thought that the complete date
was originally on the wood but the
rest of it is obliterated.
The block is about 2% by 3
inches in size and has been
lying on the farm for the last 37
years.
It is believed that the
moisture and exposure caused it to
turn to stone.

right fell 8 feet to the railroad track

dock in the*dark and misjudged

SOLDIERS' LETTERS TELL
OF PHILIPPINE CONFLICT
The Spanish American war and
the Philippine insurrection attract
ed much attention to the islands
as can be seen by looking over
the files of the Bohemia Nugget
published while this conflict was
going on. Among the men from
Cottage Grove who serviced in the
islands were Henry Landess, Char­
ley Lovelace, Frank Woodruff.
Charles Cochran, Aurelius Todd,
Henry Doolittle, Henry Sherwood
ami Claude Hawkins.
Henry Sherwood mid Elmer Doo­
little were wounded in fighting
with the natives in the spring or
early «ummer of 1899. In a letter
to John Sherwood dated, “On
Board the Steamer Ohio, July 12,
1899,” Frank Woodruff writes:
“I will write you a few lines

in Interest of Measure to
Come Up This Evening.
In the interest of the bill for
the Cottage Grove armory, intro­
duced in the Senate some time
ago by Senator J. 8. Magindry,
which will rome up before the mili­
tary affaire committee this eve-
ning, a number of local mon inter­
ested in the national guard com-
pany hero and in the armory went
to Salem today.
Captain C. C. Cruaon, of tho
local company, was in Salem when
the bill was introduced and re­
turned to Cottago Grove with the
report that indications were favor­
able for the passage of the bill by
this session of the legislature if
the need for it was adequately
presented. Members of the civic
clubs of the city have been keep­
ing in close touch with affairs in
Salom in order that they might
do all that is possible to impress
upon the legislators the importance
of the measure when it comes up
for consideration.
The bill provides for an appro­
priation of $30,000 by the state to
match $15,000 voted by the city
three years ago and $15,000 already
provided by the county for the
construction of the building. When
completed the armory will be en­
tirely state property but will be
available for numerous gatherings
and other usos in the city.
While there fa one othor bill
providing for an armory before
the legislature, it is thought that
the one at Cottage Jfaove will re­
ceive first consideration because
of the length of time the city
has beon waiting for action on it.
The governor and the adjutant
general are said to favor the Cot­
tage Grove appropriation.
When it was learned that the
bill would come up before the mili­
tary affairs committee a number
of Cottage Grove men determined
to go to Salem and present tho
situation to the committee in per­
son. Those making the trip are:
T. 0. Wheeler, Earl Hill, G.
“ O.
Knowles, C. K Bartell, C. C.
Cruson, R. L. Stewart and W. A.

No Kick Coming.
“1 just stopped in to tell you,”
begun the man at the complaint
desk of the gas company, “that
my gas stove blew up yesterday.”
“Tell your troubles to a plumb­
er,” growled the surly clerk.
“That’s no fault of ourp—you got
no kick here.”
“Oh, I’m not kicking,” replied
the customer cheerfully, as he
opened
the
door.
“Only

thought I’d tell you that your
blamed old slot meter backfired at
the same time, and I haven’t boen
doing anything but pick up silver
