COST OF NEW LIGHTS $2 THE FRONT FOOT Budget Committee Provides Maintenance of Clusters. At the budget meeting Monday night it developed that an error had been made in the figures pre sented the light committee as to the cost the front foot of business property for the cost of installation of standard lights for the business section. The figures of 50 centB the front foot previously announced should have been $2 the front foot, it was found. The budget as adopt ed by the committee includes a suf ficient amount to cover the cost of maintaining the proposed stand ard or cluster lighting system but nothing, for the installation of the poles. "It wai thought that there is a possibility of the installation being taken care of by business interests, and .property owners some time during the year and was necessary to budget money advance for maintenance.

He has driven the set on the car 10,000 miles without a puncture. Included in this were two trips to California, one of which took him up the coast route through Crescent City to Grants Pass.

Godard & Randall, contractors, have completed the construction work on the city’s new million gallon reservoir and it will be in use within two weeks. A diversion box is yet to be constructed and the water line to the city is yet to be hitched up with the big hole. A strong wire fence is being placed around the new reservoir, which is on open one, by the Northwest Fence & Wire Works. The old reservoir, which will bo continued in use, is also to be fenced, as it will be necessary to remove the roof, which is now in poor condition. " Experience is what you need; Get out and see the world!” When such unsound advice they heed So many boys are hurled Defenseless into problems where They have small chance to win; Discouragement awaits them there Before they well begin. They ought to "see the world," oh yes, But not before they know Beyond a childish whim or guess Where it is wise to go. Boys guided by a father’s hand Thru early manhood days Will sooner learn to understand Life’s many doubtful ways. Experience they need, and so I hope they’ll talk with Dad And let him counsel when to go And where; he’ll be so glad That his boys ask for his advice. And time will demonstrate His friendly “tips” are worth the price; Dad knows what makes men great! EXPENSES OF CITY LESS THAN ITS RECEIPTS Four students of the Cottage Grove high school took part last week end in competitive judging of stock at the Pacific Interna- tional Livestock exposition in Port land.

Progress; Now Budget To Cut Levy One Mill. Despite the fact that the past year has been one of the greatest progress in the history of the city, Cottage Grove has made the unus ual record of spending less than its receipts. The surplus may go as high as $3,000. That amount, of course, will go into retiring war rants, the amount of which has been steadily decreasing for a num ber of years until the general fund is the only one with any conjid erablc amount outstanding. Other funds are practically on a cash basis. Not only did the city keep well within its income during the year, but the budget for next year, as passed by the budget committee, is $1000 less than the budget of a year ago, which means a reduction of one mill in the levy, the assessed valuation being almost exactly a million dollars. The amount levied for all pur poses a year ago was $24,574. The amount the budget hsks by taxation for next year is $23,520. The proposed budget is published in full elsewhero in this issue. A campaign to rid the air of squeals, squeaks and other local disturbances so annoying to radio fans, will be started this week by Ray Nelson, local radio dealer, and R. L. Stewart, manager for the Mountain Statos Power company. An automobile carrying a loop radio set will be driven about the city to hunt down the sources of trouble. Several reading» will be taken wherever tho loop set indicates trouble. In this way the direction can be ascertained and tho trouble ROSEBURG AND COTTAGE located.

He submitted figures on valuations and assessments of timber lands and explained the increased taxa- tion of thia class of property, which led to a lengthy discussion between Mr. Keeney ami timber owners before the reeent session of the county board of equalization.

Tradition that Lost lake in tho Cascades, near the McKinzie river highway, is bottomless is only a myth, according to three geology students of the University of Ore gon, wko have just returned from a trip to tho lake where they sounded its depth. "Lost lake is probably a deprec sion in an old lava flow,” said Herman Meierjurgen, one of the students, “and is one of a series of small lakes. Most of the others have been filled up and Lost lake is the most outstanding one that remains. This discovery has settled an old controversy.” Burroughs Bookkeeping Forms Of every kind printed at home by the Home Print Shop. Always give your Home Print Shop first chanoe at all your printing.
