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.
COUNCIL ISSUES CALL FOR

The council accepted the bid of

A hid by the same firm for a sower

The council authorized tho paint

THEY ADVERTISE.
A hen is not supposed to have
Much common sense or tact,
Yet every time she lays an egg
Sho cackles forth the fact.
A rooster hasn’t got a lot
Of intellect to show,
But none the less most roosters
have
Enough good sense to crow.
The mule, the most despised of
boasts,
Has a persisting way
Of letting folks know he
around,
By his insistent bray.
The busy little bees, they buzz;
Bulls bellow and cows moo ;
The watchdog barks, the ganders
quack,
And doves nnd pigeons coo.
The peacock spreads his tail
and squawks,
Pigs '»queal nnd robins sing,
A nd even serpent* know enough
To hiss before they sting.
But man, the greatest master

That Nature could devise,
Will often stop nnd hesitate
Before he’ll advertise.
