COTTAGE GROVE, LANE COUNTY, OREGON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 1925
VOLUME XXXV
WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 2, IS ID BE PUBLIC PLAYGROUNDS ARE
CLOSED FOR SEASON
DIRECTORY DAT
Postoffiee Patrona Asked to Co
operate in Revising List of
Names
of
Residents.
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

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.

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.

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

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.

as grain growers are concerned.
The nuts are now ripening and
squirrels will make heavy inroads

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. A new standard loco*
motive has just been added.
