Big Business Uses Newspaper Advertising - .. NUMBER 101 Plans Made to Construct Building Without Asking Local People to Purchase Stock. Plans have been almost completed for the erection of a hospital build ing in Cottage Grove without sub scriptions for stock on the part of local citizens, so C. E. Turner of Eugene informed chamber of commerce members at their Tues day noon luncheon. ■Mr. Turner was here several weeks ago, at which time ho sug gested local subscriptions of from $25,000 to $50,000. That propo sition did not meet with the re sponse which had been expected and Mr. Turner has since mado other arrangements for the money. Ho stated that all that now re mains in tho way of consummation of tho plans is tho renting of a portion of the ground floor. A protestant organization already has been secured to take over the hospital. W. J. White, who is interested in tho property at tho corner of Main and Fifth streets, upon which it is proposed to ere-t the building, spoke briefly. Tho plans for tho building re main tho same ns when first pre sented, the lower floor to be given over to space for business institu tions, the second floor to be for offices and tho third floor for tho hospital. The cost is to be practi cally $100,000. Mr. Turner stated that all now asked of tho commu nity is moral support.
