At the budget meeting Monday
night it developed that an error

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

nothing, for the installation of the
poles. "It wai thought that there
is a possibility of the installation

Record for economical gasoline
consumption is claimed by A. L.
Monroe, who made a trip over the
week end to Stayton and other
points down the valley. Six and one-
half gallons of gasoline and ono
pint of oil were consumed on the
trip, the total mileage of which was
187% miles. Monroe’s car is also
easy on tires. He has driven the

two trips to California, one of
which took him up the coast route

Reservoir It to Be Put Into Use
In About Two Weeks.
Godard & Randall, contractors,
have completed the construction
work on the city’s new million

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

" 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!

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.

County Clerk’s Fees Increase.
Total receipts at the office of
R. 8. Bryson, county clerk, during
October were $1922.20, a record
for the office, indicating tho large
amount of legal busness transacted
in Lane county. During the month
93 instruments were filed in one
day, this being the largest single
day’s business in several years.
The total for the month was seg
regated as follows: Recording foes,
$1,011.25; circuit court foes, $558;
probate and county court fees,
$170.50; marriage licenses, $108;
miscellaneous, $74.45.
Keeney Is Speaker.
County Assessor Keeney was the
principal speaker Friday night at
a special meeting of the Farmers ’
union at Dorena.
Taxation was
the theme of Mr. Keeney's address.
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.

Patriotic services in observance
of the approach of Armistice day

Lost Lake Bottom Is Found.
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.”
