MAN HURT BY HIT AND
RUN DRIVER TUESDAY
c. S. Wood, Myrtle Creek Farmer,
Victim of Careless Autoist.
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.

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-
