RETURN
MATCH
BILLED
Sailor Jack Wood and Hand to
Meet Again Saturday.
>
Jack Wood and Ralph Hand will
meet on the mat here Saturday
night for a return match. When
the muscle grinders met a week
ago the decision went to Hand on
a referee’s decision.
Wood has
agreed that this time he will keep
his feet from coming in contact
with Hand’s chin and that he will
wrestle a denn game, the only
kind that meets the approval of
local fans.
Although it is admitted that
Wood is a real wrestler, he was
vociferously razzed upon bis initial
appearance here because of his
resort to tricks that do not appeal
to Cottage Grove fans. It was the
opinion that he does not need to
resort to underhanded ways of
winning a match. Hand, however,
was a favorite writh the local fans
and it was their opinion that he
is fully capable of taking care of
himself.
PYROTOL IS ORDERED
County Agent Distributes Govern
ment Explosive to Fanners.
I
»
An order for 18,750 pounds of
pyrotol, government explosive that
is cheaper and stronger than 20
per cent dynamite, has been placed
with the government by O. 8.
Fletcher, county agent, for Lane
county farmers and the Lane
county court.
Of the amount, 10,000 pounds
will be used by <he county in road
work. The remainder will go to
24 farmers who have placed orders
for from 50 to 1000 pounds.
For those who have not placed
orders, but who want to get
some of the explosive, Mr. Fletcher
proposes to order another carload
on August 15. He hopes to dis-
tribute a carload in western Lane,
another at Junction City, another
here and a second car in the Eu-
gene area.

months ago.

The National Association of Farm
Equipment Manufacturers makes us
sit up and take notice when it
reports that tractor manufacturers
are behind with their orders; that
i this heavy buying of tractors is
to take up a slack in man and
horse power and that tractors are
rapidly passing out of the seasonal
equipment class. There was a time
when a statement that the horse
was to disappear from the city
would have been thought pre
posterous. Now once in a while
he creeps into and out of the city
