C. S. Wood, age 55, a rancher of Myrtle Crock, Oregon, was injured while traveling on the highway about one mile south of Cottage Grovo Tuesday evening. Mr. Wood had beon at Drain and was enroute to Eugene when the accident took place. A hit-and-run driver caused the trouble. While at Drain Mr. Wood says he was commenting on tho long time he would havo before being able to take passage for the Lane eoun- ty seat when a gentleman offered to give him a lift toward Cottage Grove. After leaving the auto Wood was finishing the distance afoot when struck by a big ear which did not stop. Wood, according to his own statement, was thrown to the pave ment with such violence that hiB collar bono was broken and severe bruises about other parts of the body were inflicted. Shortly after being hurt, Mr. Wood was brought into Cottage Grove by a passing motorist and given modical attention. Ho did not get the license num ber or description of the mnehine. Tho fog nnd dnrknoss probably would have prevented his doing so oven had ho thought to try. Garage Building Nearly Ready. Tho garage building being erected on north Ninth street by Miss Naomi Hoskins nnd C. H. Hoskins probably will be ready for occu pancy by December 20. Construc tion work is progressing rapidly. It will be occupiod by N. J. Nelson Jr., who represents several makes of cars, and by W. A. O'Hara, who has the Chevrolet agoncy. Mr. Hoskins is considering the erection of one or two other build- ings, but nothing definite can bo announced until contracts are signed by prospective tenants. SIX MEN ARE CHARGED WITH GAME VIOLATIONS Postmaster Smith Has Choice Quick Delivery Worm For Early Mailing Birds. “Now is the time for all good men (and womeu) to come to the aid of the postoffice,” according to Postmaster Smith, who declares that the most desirable cooperation comes by mailing Christmas parcels now, insuring promptness and safety in handling and transporta tion by avoiding the rush of the fow days immediately preceding Christmas. Christmes seals may be placed anywhere on the parcel, except that they should not be so placed as to seal the wrapper of the par cel. If they are so placed the pared will be accepted only as first class mail and the rate of postage will be two cents an ounee instead of parcel post rate. Parcels will be accepted for de livery in the first, second and third zones up to 70 pounds; be yond tho third sone up to 50 pounds. In size, parcels must not exceed 84 inches, length and girth, at largest circumference added to gether. The postoffice anticipates that many patrons will attempt to send Christmas cards for one cent, This was the rate last Christmas but not now. The only one-cent card now is the government postal card —a one-cent stamp being printed on tho card. All imitations of this, including mailing cards of every character, should have a two-cent stamp. Cards to any foreign coun try requiro three cents. Christmas cards enclosed in envelopes, of course, require regular firstelass postage—two cents an ounce. Preparations have been completed at tho postoffice to meet the Christmas emergency, but the co operation of patrons by mailing early and observing the simple re quirements imposed by the post office department will be greatly helpful, sincerely appreciated by the postoffice staff, and conducive to prompt and efficient service. The postoffice will not be open for business on Christmas. Patrons who desire to send parcels to per sons in Cottage Grove and immedi ate vicinity should, therefore, mail them not later than December 23, in order that they may be delivered on December 24. Parcels mailed before noon on December 24 may be delivered in the city during the afternoon, but the chances are that they will not be delivered until after Christmas. New “traffic” signs will be displayed in the postoffice for the information of patrons and the office hours will be the same as usual—8:00 a. m. to 5:80 p. m. Possession of Game Bird and Venl son Admitted by Two. LANE TO GET BIDS ON GAS CONTRACTS Six Cottage Grove mon appeared in Eugene justice court Tuesday on charges of violation of tho game laws. W. C. Pitcher paid a fine of $40 on a charge of having a china phensant in his possession. Doc Pitcher pleaded not guilty upon a similar charge, George Pitcher pleaded guilty to having venison in his possession and will be fined later. Darrell Pitcher, Walter Pitcher and Richard 1 A. Pyburn pleaded not guilty upon i similar charge« and will be tried 1 later. E. N. Cru son, deputy game war* den for thi .section, was responsi- ble for thc information leading to the arrests, in which ho was assist ed by F. M. Brown, chief deputy game warden, Rodney Roach and C. A. Hering, deputy wardens. W. H. Ehlen of Eugene nnd Allen Crisell of Portland were charged with running deer with dogs near Siuslaw falls. They pleaded not guilty. Wayne Nelson of Portland was fined $25 for having an im properly tagged doer. Companies Submitting Prices For Connty Use During 1926. Bids for gasoline and distillate for use by Lauo county for the coming year are being received by the county court and delivery starts tho first of the year. A number of large companies that operate in Lane county are submitting bids to supply the county and the lowest quotation will be accepted, it is announced by members of the county court. “Making a contract for gasoline nnd distillate in far more economi cal than purchasing as needed,” according to Clinton Hurd, county commissioner. Distillate and gaao- lino nre used by tho county on road trucks and tractors principally. Always give your home print shop first chance at all your print ing.
