COTTAGE GROVE, LANE COUNTY, OREGON,
VOLUME XXXV
ot
in Cottage Grove.
The Lane county Lumbermen’s
Association and Hoo Hoo club,
tho youngest of the Hoo Hoo or­
ganizations of the state, having
been organized little more than
three months ago, exercised its
husky young lungs Saturday in a
discussion of current lumber prob­
lems before producers in the M il
lainette valley in its regular month
ly meeting in the Bartell hotel.
This is the first time the Lane
county Lumbermen have gath-red
in Cotage Grove, the other confer­
ence of the group having been «mi
fined to Eugene.
That the young Leno count}
Hoo Hoo lumberjack is a rapidly
growing and husky youngster is
shown by the signing up of ten
new members at Saturday's meet­
ing bringing the total membership
to approximately 60. This includes
representatives of practically every
type of lumber activity carried on
in the county, the smallest as
well as the largest mills being
represented along with planing mill
men, drier and lumber warehouse
men, loggers and others.
The outstanding business now
before the club is the entertain­
ment of a group of north eastern
retailers who will visit Lane county
millB on Saturday, February 28.
This group is coming through iu
a special train from Seattle and
will stop over in Eugene for one
day in order*to inspect the sawmill
and timber industry of this por
tion of the Willamette valley. The
group is made up largely of rep­
resentatives of purchasing agenciih
in the New England section of the
country. Plans for entertainment
by the Lane county delegation
include a banquet in Eugene Sat­
urday evening and sight seeing
trips about the county with visits
to the various • mills and camps as
a special feature of the program.
M. M. Tuft, of Eugene, is in charge
of the entertainment of this group
of visitors.
The problem of employment was
discussed before the group of lum­
bermen representing the control­
ling interests in the sixtv-four bil­
lion feet of standing timber of
Lane county by J. H. Chambers.
‘ ' If lumbermen don’t get more
for their lumber the time is soon
coming when they won’t need any
labor,” declared Mr. Chambers.
‘‘There is no reason why we should
be selling our product at less than
cost when to do so can only mean
a serious injury to ourselves and
our employes.”
Experiments being carried on in
the seasoning of lumber at low-
temperatures by the Standard
Bridge company in its lumber ware

Cottage Grove Girls
J Pin Game from
Mohawk High
The girls’ basket ball team of
the Cottage Grove high school do-
feated the girls’ team from the
Mohawk union high school by a
score of 35 to 13 in the gymnasium
here Thursday evening. The boys
team lost to the Mohawk boys
15 to 29, and the junior high boys
lost to the freshmen from Mohawk
4 to 9.
Coach Grannis ran in his entire
second string in the third quartet
of the game between the high
school boys teams in order to give
the first string men a chance to
catch their breath, The Mohawk
team had the iocal players at a
disadvantage in weight and it wa»
thought that the Cottage . Grove
team might ralley after a few
minutes rest. The results, how­
ever, were not as good as expected.
Between halves two tumbling
contortionists from Marcola, Jack
Arnold and John Gebhart gave an
exhibition.
The lineup for the high school
game was;

in California in 1848 a wagon train
headed by Jeremiah Job, father
of B. R. Job, left Alton,' 111., for
