Wednesday, September 2, has been designated by Postmaster Smith as “Directory Day” for Cottage Grove. The objective of the movement is the revision of the list of names of persons receiving mail through the Cottage Grove postoffice, in preparation for the establishment of eity delivery on October 1. In the morning of that day blank forms will be placed in the mail boxes in the postoffiee and in the mail boxe» of business houses and residences throughout the eity in the carrier districts. Patrons are asked to read carefully the in structions on these forms and to follow them explicitly in writing the names of each member of the family or household on the blank lines provided. Care should be taken to place the number of the postoffiee box, or the street and number of the business house or residence, at the top of the form, Married women are requested to use their given names instead of the initials of their husbands. Patrons who do not receive one of these forms on the morning of September 2 are requested to fur nish their names and addresses on any slip of paper, or preferably, to call at the postoffice and obtain the regular blank from the clerk on duty at the general delivery window. When these forms are properly filled out, they may be placed in the mail boxes of residences or business houses, in mail collection boxes, in the letter boxes at the postoffiee, or handed to carriers for delivery to the postoffiee. No postage is required. Legibility of names and promptness of return are desired. It is hoped that all completed forms may be returned to the postoffiee the same day they are sent out. In connection with the above movement, patrons of the office are earnestly requested to ask lheir correspondents to use box numbers or street and house num bers in addressing letters to Cot tage Grove. A large portion of the mail coming here bears no box number, house number or street address—a condition for whieh Cot tage Grove people themselves are responsible and whieh only they can rectify. Letters without street addresses and numbers are fre quently delayed in delivery, waste the time of postal elerks who are forced to search directories for the information necessary, and some times they are not delivered at all. Similar blanks will be placed in the mail boxes on the star routes emanating from the eity. Owners of boxes are requested to fill out the blank form, taking care to fill in at the top of the form in the blank space provided for that purpose, the name printed on the box, the name of the route, and below, to write plainly, according to the instructions printed on the form, the name of each member of the family and the names of all other persons receiving mail in the box. On the star routes these forms, when filled out, should be promptly returned to the mail box for collection by the carrier in the same manner as other mail, except that no postage will be re quired.

The season at the public play grounds officially closed yesterday and Miss Mildred Lehman, the director, has returned to Eugene. The average forenoon attendance during the season was 33 and the average afternoon attendance wan 60. While the BWings, teeters, alide and sand bin were popular with the youngsters, much interest was manifested in the story hour, in the folk daneing and in baseball. A story hour was held every after noon, the stories told being care fully selected for their psyaeho- logical and moral infiuenee upon the children. Folk dancing classes were held twice a week, girls be- tween the ages of 8 and IS par- ticipating. Their object was rec reation, pleasure and exercise, rath er than perfection in difficult steps. Greatest interest was shown in baseball and almost every hour of the day youngsters were engaged in the great national sport. In all the activities, baseball par ticularly, emphasis was placed upon good sportsmanship rather than Re- npon the desirability to win. — speet for authority, respect for others and respect for themselves were at all times taught the children. Those who promoted and spon- sored the playgrounds are well satisfied with the results and it is planned to add a wading pool next year. The equipment probably will be removed and put away for next season. Mrs. J. E. Tate was severely burned in a fire Tuesday afternoon which destroyed the house on the W. H. Ostrander place east of the city. The house was occupied by the J. N. Town family and Mr. and Mrs. John Ostrander. Mrs. Tate is Mrs. Town’s mother. The same house caught fire several wooks before but tho damage at that time was not great. The cause for the second fire was thought to be a defective flue or a spark lodging in moss on tho roof. Mrs. Tate was burned while en deavoring to save some valuables and she probably was saved from death by her granddaughter, Miss Mildred Hurley, daughter of Mrs. Town. Tho fire was not discovered until burning fiercely and only a few articles wore saved. The house and contents were, only purtially cov- ered by insurance. The house was outside the city limits and beyond reach of the city ’a water system. Tho Towns were planning to move to another home within a few days. Mrs. Levi Cline, of Port Or- chard, Wash., Buffered severe bruises on one leg and cars owned by Mr. Cline and Mrs. Alice P. Bowers, of Pasadena, were wrecked in an accident on the Pacific high way a mile south of the city Wed nesday afternoon. Mr. Cline, driving a small Over land, turned to the left side of the highway to pass a wide wagon behind which he had Iteen travel ing. The Bowers car, a Buick sedan, with Mrs. Bowers’ daugh ter at the wheel, was approaching rapidly from the opposite direction, but it had been unobserved by Cline because of his view being obstructed by the wagon ahead. As tho big car bore down on him, Clino tried to got into the ditch on the wrong side of tho road, while Miss Bowers swung in the same direction to avoid hitting the Cline car. The two came togeth er and swung thoir noses into the ditch. . The front ends of both cars were twisted out of shape. The framework of tho motor of the Buick was fractured in several places and tho frame of the chassis twisted. Both cars will be in the repair shop for several days. In the Overlnnd were Mr. and Mrs. Cline, Mis« Clino and Miss Peterson. Mrs. Bowers and daugh ter were alone in their car. No one but Mrs. Cline was injured. At 7:30 in tho evening of the same day a Ford coupe driven by L. A. Mulkey collided on east Jef ferson avenue with a buggy driven by Mrs. W. E. Dodge. The con tents of the buggy, two boxes of pears and several bottles of milk, were thrown out and Mrs. Dodge sustained minor bruises. She did not know whether she was thrown from the buggy or whether she jumped out. The buggy was im paled on a fonder of the car. Bug gy and car were but slightly dam aged. Tho buggy was on the left aide of the road and Mulkey claimed that it carried no light. Mrs. Dodge screamed at the top of her voice to attract tho attention of the driver of the car, but Mulkey said he could not see the buggy and did not know what tho scream ing was about. Taught Lessons in Morals INTO OPERATION AU of Street« of City Completed Except East Main, Chestnut and Central Jefferson. The city roek crasher north of the eity has been put into opera tion to get out the material for the macadamizing of Chestnut ave nue and a block of Central Jeffer son avenue. All of the season’s street work, with the exception of these two jobs and the laying of black top on east Main, has been completed. Monroe, Washington and Adams avenues were completed during the past week. The work on east Main is now well under way. Weather conditions have been ideal throughout the time work has been under way. Olaf Hammer, who has had charge of county rock crashers, has the contract for getting out the roek at the eity plant. Crushed gravel was used for the hard surface streets but is not a satisfactory material from which to make macadam. SQUnUUBLS ATTACK NUTS County Agent Fletcher Advises Set ting Out Poison.

Set in the midst of abundant natural resources, the city of Cot tage Grove is fast coming to the fore as a center of industrial activity. The community and sur rounding territory are forging ahead solely on investments of private capital, coming from individuals who believo the district has a real future. The country to tho east is tapped for 28 miles by the Anderson 4 Middleton railway, recently pur chased from J. H. Chambers for $750,000. Now Mr. Chambers is busy constructing a standard guage line 12 miles northeast, at a cost of $500,000. The new Chambers railroad, of whieh over four miles is completed, will tap the rich Lorane country. In this district lies much of the fine fir timber of Lane county, and Mr. Chambers himself owns 5,000 acres there. A sawmill of 100,000 feet capacity is to be erected on the holdings as soon as the railway is completed. Thia alone will employ between 200 and 300 men and will have a total of 250 million bos.rd feet from which to draw raw timber. The railroad and mill mean an investment of nearly $1,000,000, it is staled. In addition to the four miles of steel now in use, grading for the railroad has been completed three miles farther. A crew of more than 100 men is employed on the work. Equipment include» two huge steam «hovels, one at the scene of grading operations and the other near Cottage Grove load- ing gravel.
