Thirty-Six Thousand Feet of Sewer
Constructed; Building Permits
Amount to $120,000.
Cottage Grove constructed 36,000
feet of sewer and 3000 feet of
paving in 1924 according to the
annual report compiled for the
Mountain States Power company
by R. L. Stewart, manager of the
company’« office here. The cost
of the paving during the year was
$25,000. A large number of other
projects carried on in the city by
the national, state, county and
municipal governments are listed
in the report.
The most important state project
affecting the city was the comple
tion of the Pacific highway and
the construction of the bridge over
the Coast Fork. The Lorane road
was also completed and for the
first time Cottage Grove is now
connected with the upper Coast
Fork and Row River by a good
road.
Building permits for the past
year are estimated at $120,000. The
assessed valuation of the property
in the city is $937,978. The legal
debt limit is fixed at $295,000.
During the year the city author
ized and conducted a survey of
the water system from the head
waters of the system in the Ru-
jada water shed in the Umpqua
national forest through the city.
A grade school and gymnasium
were built in the city during the
year.
The sustained yield program of
the national forests providing for
a scientific program of reforesta
tion of logged off lands was in
augurated by the national govern
ment during the year and four
hundred million feet of government
timber sold to the Anderson &
Middleton Lumber company of Ore
gon under this new program. It
is expected that a perpetual stand
of timber may be maintained in
the national forests unded this plan
as it provides for the growth of
new trees to replace those used in
logging operations. It takes practi
cally 100 years for a stand of
Douglas fir to develop to maturity
after the land is logged off and
considerable foresight is necessary
to provide ■standing timber for the
future.
Postal receipts for 1924 amounted
to $12,061.03. Bank deposits as of
Dec. 31, 1924, were $1,003,488.30.
The legal debt limit of the city
is >245,000. The bonded debt other
than Banfroft bonds amounts to
$175,000 and the Bancroft bonds
outstanding total $21,000.
MOTOR VEHICLE LICENSES
NOW ISSUED PROMPTLY
Motor vehicle licenses are not
being issued tho day applications
are received in Salem according
to a circular letter sent out by the
department of state. Motor vehicle
operatiors who desire to run their
cars before receiving permanent
plates from the Secretary of 'State
are advised to make their applies
tions through the sheriff’s office
and that official will issue a tem
porary license to cover the opera
tion of the vehicles before tho
plates arrive. There is now no
valid cause for a driver operating
a car with a 1924 license plate,
the letter says. Arrests will be
made by traffic officers from now
on for old license plates.
TH* OLE GROUCH
A series of talk« on banking
and economies is being given by
the banken of Cottage Grove be-
fore tho high schools of the vi-
cinity in an effort to bring about
increased interest on the part of
high school students in busi-
ness and financial problems. N. E.
Glass and Worth Harvey visited
the Lorane high school last Friday
and delivered the first talk of this
series to be given outside of Cot
tage Grove.
The schools includede in the list
which the bankers will visit be
fore the end of this term are Cot
tage Grove, Lorane, Walker and
Dorena. Talks on these subjects
have already been given before the
assembly of the Cottage Grove high
school.
Logger Escapes Death
When Limb Falls
Near Him
Cecil Harrington, a timber faller
employed in the logging camp at
Culp Creek, narrowly escaped in
stant death last Saturday when a
limb was dislodged by a falling
tree and struck his right arm.
Had he been standing a few inches
farther to the right the limb would
have struck him squarely on top
of the head and death would have
been instant, as the falling missile
was coming with tremendous force
As it was his hat was knocked
off and he received a slight scratch
on the arm. The limb penetrated
a foot or two into solid ground at
his feet, so great was its velocity
after falling from the tree. Loose
limbs which fail when tho tree
starts are one of the greatest dan
gers encountered by loggers. The
ends of these limbs are often sharp
after being brokon from the tree
trunk.
University High Jlins
Game 34 to 12
The University high school of
Eugene won the basketball gamo
from Cottage Grovo high Friday
night by a score of 34 to 12.
Ridings was high point man in tho
game and proved the undoing of
tho local team by his suro eye in
shooting baskets. He annexed 23
of the counters for the visitors.
The University high ran in its
second team for a few minutes
during the last quarter. Swanson
was high man on the Cot-
tage Grove team annexing 10
scores, The game wns refereed
by Dave Evans.

TWICE A WEEK IDEA LIKED
BY OTHER STATE PAPERS
The Sentinel has several times
stated that several newspapers were
watching the progress of Cottagt
Grove’s twice - a • week newspaper
with the idea of also going to
twice-a-week publications. The first
paper to follow up on the twice-a-
week «lea is the St. Helens Mist,
one of the leading small eity news
papers of the state. Others uro
likely to follow at any moment.
