Desired
Completion of Reservoir for Use
Late This Fall Is Thought
to Be Possible.
The capacity of the proposed
water reservoir for tho city prob­
ably will be increased from half
a million gallons to a million gal­
lons.
Engineer Rogers, of Cor­
vallis, in consultation with the
city council Monday night, stated
that a reservoir of half a million
gallons would cost probably $16,000,
that one of 750,000 capacity would
cost probably $19,000, while one of
a million gallons capacity would
cost probably $21,000. The coun­
cil decided to ask for a bond
issue of $25,000' for the construc­
tion of such a reservoir and for
repairs to the water line, the bonds
to be run for 28 years and to be
paid from the water fund. An
issue of $20,000 had been previously
suggested.
A petition for the
special election is being circulated
and the date will be made as
early as possible, It is estimated
that tho reservoir can be ready
for use late during the fall at the
time of peak use of water and
minimum supply. It is anticipated
that with such a storage capacity
it will, bo possible to be lenient
with the use of water for irriga­
tion purposes and that there will
be plenty at all times for all le­
gitimate needs. The pressure also,
it iB believed, will be the same
at all times of the day, whereas
in the past is has been low during
the hours of greatest consumption.

Is Licensed Radio Operator.
Marshall Mendenhall has been
licensed by the national department
of commerce as an amateur radio
operator, which permits him to
send and receive air messages in
the telegraphic code. . His station
has been named “7KW. ” Marshall
is the only one in the city who
has received such a license. Mr.
Vincent, in the country, is similarly
licensed.
Another Block to Be Paved.
The portion of Adams avenue
between
Seventh
and
Eighth
streets, including the Eighth street
intersection, has been added to the
city’s paving program, the ordi­
nance having been enacted Monday
night upon petition of the property
owners. The paving of the same
avenue from the river to Seventh
street had been previously pro-
vided.
Spray Bridge to Be Tainted.
The county court is making prep­
arations for repainting the steel
bridge over Row river a few miles
from hero. This bridge, commonly
called the Spray bridge, has not
been painted since it was erected
some 15 years ago. All the steel
bridges of the county are to be
repainted during the coming season.

Log Car Blocks County Road.
Dorena, March 17.—(Special.)—
A small wreck occurred on the
Oregon Pacific A Eastern railway
Saturday evening when a loaded
logging car left the rails. Traffic
on tho county road at that point
was blocked for an hour while the
wreckage was being removed.
County Needs Dog Tax
To Pay Bills for
Damages
Right-of-way for changes in the
Row river road in the vicinity of
Dorena has been obtained or will
soon be obtained, and construction
of about three miles of the road
to connect the section built last
year with a section build six years
ago will be started in about a
nonth.
The road is very crooksd in that
soction and considerable new right-
of-way was necessary to straighten
it out.
The county court is in a quan-
dary as to the location of a bridge
to replace tho Shortridge bridge
near London. If the new bridge
is placed near the location of the
present span, a span of 75 feet
is all that will be necessary, but
if the road is to be straightened
and two sharp turns eliminated,
a span of 150 feet will be required.
The former county court had
planned to build the longer span.

Boy and He'll Not Appear
Here Again.
Billy Edwards won his match
Monday night with Ralph Hand
but he will not wrestle here agnin.
The big fellow wrestled a knuckle
game up to the time of getting
the first and only fall with a
head lock and a triphammer action
with his knuckles. He was hooted
and jeered by the crowd and
Captain C. C, Cruson got into tho
ring to announce that never again
would Edwards be permitted to
appear in the Cottage Grove ar­
mory. The entire match, with the
exception of the rough stuff on the
part of Edwards to which the audi­
ence objected, was one of the best
matches ever soon here.
Hand
kept the big fellow guessing for
an hour, 16% minutes and in the
remaining 46% minutes neither was
able to put the other to the mat.
As the gong sounded Hand ha,d
hooked a toehold but had done so
too close to the edge of the mat.
Hand was able to apply his fa­
mous toehold a number of times,
but Edwards proved a bear for
punishment and succeeded each time
in wiggling loose or was saved by
the men rolling to tho edge of
the mat.
The fans here object to any
rough stuff and their voeiforations
were so meaning that Edwards did
not try much of it after tho dem­
onstration.
Gustavo, also a light heavy in
the mat game, witnessed Monday
night’s match and challenged Hand.
In doing so he mado reference to
alleged unfailness in a match two
years ago when ho lost to Hand,
His statement was received in
about the same spirit as was Ed-
wards’ knuckle game. Hand has
the reputation of being one of the
cleanest wrestlers in the game and
the insinuation of unfairness did
not take well in his homo city.
Napper, of Pleasant Hill, nnd
Peterson, of this city, wrestled to
a draw in a preliminary match.
44Butch” McGee was tho third
man in the ring.
Where Printer’» Devil Came From.
In the early days of printing
this art was much of a mystery,
and ignorant people thought the
printer evoked tho aid of tho
powers of evil. Aldus Manutius,
the famous Italian printer of the
sixteenth century, went to Africa
on an exploring expedition nnd
brought back with him a very
black negro boy. Negroes were n
rarity then. The report immedi­
ately gained circulation that the
printer had been employing the
black art in his work and that the
pickaninny waB in reality an imp
of Satan. He was called the '‘Little
Black Devil.” The charge became
so serious that the printer was
forced to exhibit tho negro in
public, In his an noun coment he
said:
"Be it known to Venice that I,
Aldus Manutius, printer to tho
Holy Church and to the Doge, have
this day made public exposure
of the printer’s devil. All those
who think he is not flesh and blood
may come and pinch him.” Thus
originated the term "printer's
devil.”—Harlowton Democrat.

Large Lights Are Removed From
Investigations in many Lane
county orchards reveal that in sev­
eral cases the low temperature of
last December has harmed fruit
trees, although this damage is
scattered and the loss is not con­
fined to any one district nor
is it extensive in any one orchard,
according to C. E. Stewart, county
fruit inspector. ‘‘I have examined
a number of fruit trees and find
that in several cases the buds on
the lower branches of the cherry
trees wore killed by the freeze. To
a lesser extent the buds on walnuts,
pears and peach were also hurt by
the low temperature. This damage,
although harmful to some extent,
will in no way curtail tho fruit
crops as a whole in Lane county.”
Noted Evangelists to Be
At Hebron
Revival meetings will start Sun­
day in tho Hebron Christian church
and will bo conducted by Evangel­
ists Toogood and Searle, who re­
cently arrived from Australia, their
native land.
Tho meetings will
eontinuo for two weeks and the
pastor, Harvey Shipp, will assist.
Mr. Toogood is a young man
who has had a wide experience
and has held important pastorates
in his home country. During the
recent, great world war he was
with tho Australian forces and
was also attached th the Y. M.
C. A. as a field secretary, He is
described as a young man with a
strong personality and is a fluent
and forcoful speaker.
Mr. Searle, who is to bo tho
song leader, has acted in that ca-
pacity for some of the foremost
evangelists of his own country.
He is said to have acquired the
ability to make others sing and is
himself a soloist.
Both of these men are in this
country to receive an advanced
education to fit them for their
work in tho evangelistic field.

WHAT’S THE USE
All of City Except Main
Business Section.
Tho rebuilding of its distribu­
tion system over the city have
been completed, the Mountain
States Power company is installing
the street lights which are called
for in ita new contract with the
city.
In order to provide lights for
many street corners which formerly
had no lights, the council has re­
duced the size of the lights at
a number of points. The large
lightB (formerly arc lights) ha vo
been removed from west Main
street, from east Main street, from
south Tenth street, from Sixth
street, from Ash avenue and
from a number of other locations.
The only large lights remaining
are those on Main street in the
business section. In other parts
of the city 60-watt lights hayo
been placed. This change is ap­
proved by those who live in sec­
tions where many street corners
were without lights. Those who
had to give up largo lights and
take smaller ones have protested
mildly.
Larger lights than 60-watt may
bo provided at some of the more
important street corners but it is
the intention of the council not to
greatly increaso tho cost of light-
ing tho city, which is now $216
the month.

South Sixth Paving Goes.
A remonstrance was presented to.
tho city council Monday night
against tho paving of south Sixth
street. As tho ordinance had been
onactod nt a previous meeting, a
remonstrance
representing
two-
thirds of the property was neces­
sary to Btop tho improvement. Tho
remonstranco
represented
about
two-fifths only and the council
took no action, tho result being
that tho work will proceed. W. D.
Stroud, spooking for the remon-
stretors, threatened an injunction
suit in case the work is started.
