Quo of the most successful meet­
ings ever held by the, local Ma­
sonic lodge was thi t of last night,
when William Thum received the
Benedict degree, sometimes called
the thirty-fourth or torrid degree.
Bill, who is an unsophisticated
newlywed, has not completed his
regular masonic work and for a
time was not certain whether
the work being given him was the
regular work or something prepared
for the occasion.
Ho came to
himself completely, however, when
the bill was presented to him for
a banquet held at tha Gray Goose
following the conferring of the
degree. He had been previously
partially prepared by acting as
the “piece de resistance’’ for a
parade'of Main street. Bill is
nut certain whether he is physically
qualified to complete the regular
work.

That the (jhurch is returning to
the position of influence which it
held preceding the present age that
is dedicated to frivolity may be
indicated by the increased interest
being manifested in the Sunday
schools of the Cottage Grovo church
es, in all of of which there has
been an increased Lttenc&nce.
Particularly is a return- of in-
forest in the church indicated by
the almost inf tanta neons popularity
of a men’s discussion class and
a woman’s discussion class recently
organized in th«» Presbyterian
church.
These classes are now
comparing the Bible story of crea­
tion with the modern scientific
Theory
The Sunday school attendance
at this church has increased to
150 and an attendance of 200 to1
300 is not unusual in the Metho- ■
dist, Christian and other Sunday !
schools of the city, a large number
of such attendants being grown
persons.
Park Board Organizes.
The newly-appointed park board
have organized by the election of
Mrs. G. C. Dyott as president and
Mrs. G. B. Pitcher ns secretary­
treasurer.
Ideas for the equipping and ar­
ranging of their plants have been
secured by a number of newspaper
publishers of Oregon from Cottage n
Grove’s newspaper ola nt, recog-
nized as probably the best equipped
and best arranged country plant
on the eoast.
S. C. Morton, publisher of the
St. Helens Mist, is the most recent
to visit here for the purpose of
getting ideas. ' St. Helens is abour
the same size as Cottage Grove
and Mr. Morton publishes a high
class twice-a-week newspaper in a
well-equipped plant that is kept
spick and span anil in orderly
condition.
Mr. Morton was accompanied by
Mrs. Morton and their daughters.
Misses Marian and Virginia, and
by Mrs. Morton's sister, Miss Oglu
Meilburn.

WHAT’S THE USE
Cottage Grove was much inter­
ested in the showing Tuesday night
at the Arcade of the pictures of
the recent athletic contest in Japan
in whieh our own Ralph Spearow,
Presbyterian pastor, participated
The screen titles idetified him as
one of four great American ath­
letes and ho was shown going over
the bar for the smashing of the
world’s pole-vaulting record.
The athletes were pictured ar-
ariving in and traveling over the
Nipponese empiro and Ralph looked
natural except for a trick mus­
tache which he sported on his
upper lip during his travel* abroad.
He looked more than, natural grab
bing a kiss from a little Japanese
maiilon but the picture did not
show whether he had to demon­
strate hi* dexterity of limb in
avoiding an irate sweetheart or
husband.
Tho maiden appeared
to be of tender years, however.
Mr. Spearow gave a talk in
expl*»ition of the pictures. There
were also several reels depicting
tho beauties of Japan and pictur­
ing business and social life there.

It Necessary to
Lop Half Million Dollars
From Appropriations.
As was anticipated,- the bill ap­
propriating $30,000 for an armory
building in Cottage Grove has been
vetoed by Governor Pierce, his
disapproval of the bill having been
filed Tuesday with tho secretary of
state. This kills for two years
all plans for an armory building
here.
Tho governor hesitated sevoral
days before expressing his disap­
proval and expressed to a commit­
tee from here his desire to see this
city get an armory in caqo he
could believe that funds would be
available during the biennium. Ho
could not see that such funds
would be forthcoming and included
nil the armory bills in the appro­
priations which he vetoed in order
that expenditures might be kept
within the amount of estimated
receipts.
An appropriation of $52,060 for
the Doerbecher hospital at Port­
land, to be erected in connection
with the University of Oregon
medical school thero, also got the
gubernatorial veto, as well a* an
appropriation of $15,000 for tho
state land settlement commission.
The governor u*ed the pruning
knife mercilessly in trying to lop
off items that would total $500,000,
the amount which he believed that
appropriations exceeded probable
receipts.
The governor has not yet at­
tempted to justify hi* action in
putting the state treasury in a
holo by refusing to permit levying
of the usual property tax by the
state levying board when it met
in December while Jefferson Myers,
a Pierce appointee, was yet a
member.
School Boundary Is to
Remain Unchanged
The petition of a number of
resident* of tho Latham neighbor­
hood to have their property an­
nexed to tho Cottage Grove school
district was denied Tuesday by
the county school board, the case
being dismissed without prejudice.
The Cottage Grovo school board
had asked that the petition be not
granted, there being some misun­
derstanding as to the amount of
territory which the petitioner*
askod to have attached to the
Cottage Grove district. As tho
petition was drawn tho Andorso*
& Middleton mill property at
Lathim would have boon attached
to this district. This company al­
ready pays tho Cottage Grove
school tax upon its property which
is within tho city limits.
Production Curtailment
Is to Continue
There has been no change dur-
ing the past week in tho curtail-
mont of fir production. The An
derson & Middleton mill* here and
the Booth-Kelly mill at Bpringfield
are the only ones in this section
that aro known to be cooperating
for tho steadying of the market.
They are operating upon a five
•lay a-week basis sod mny cont’nuc
to do so for some time to come.
The smaller mills continue to oper­
ate fuU time. No great change in
tho condition of overproduction has
been noticeable.
