Lane County Hoo-Hoos Against
Suggestion of Interior
Secretary Works.
The Lane county Hoo-Hoo club,
at a meeting Friday night in Eu­
gene, went on record as strongly
opposing the suggestion of Secre­
tary Works, of the interior de­
partment, that wagon road graht
lands be withdrawn from sale. The
drawing of a strong resolution, to
be forwarded to congress, was or­
dered.
It was pointed out that many
small operations in Oregon would
be jeopardized by such action, as tho
grant lands take the odd sections
and it is necessary ,to be able to
buy these odd sections in order to
make operations profitable, while
often it is impossible to log private
tracts without first clearing grant
land tracts. Many sawmill indus-
tries of the county have been es-
tablished under the belief that the
sale of odd sections would con­
tinue, and such operations would
be ruined by their withdrawal.
With timber in the national for­
ests it is different. Operators do
not enter the national forests until
they have arranged for a supply
for many years in advance. While
operations in the state might be
seriously curtailed by such with-
drawals, operating industries would
not be put out of business.
The January meeting of the club
will be held in Cottage Grove.
Initiatory work will be exemplified
upon several and one of the biggest
meetings* of the year is planned.
John F. Woodard and Elbert Bede
were appointed a committee to
make arrangements.
These two
and Roy Leonard attended the
meeting in Eugene.
Mrs. C. A. Bartell, with the as-
sistance of members of the local
Eastern Star chapter, has prepared
what those who have seen it have
declared to be a wonderful scrap
book, which she will present to the
kiddies of the Shriners hospital in
Portland for Christmas.
Eastern
Star members assisted Mrs. Bartell
in gathering the pictures, which
were cut from the covers and
bodies of magazines and were se­
cured in many other ways. Mrs.
Bartell placed the pictures in the
book, which was a wall paper sam­
ple book. The tints of the paper
give an artistic background for the
pictures.
The pages are 13x18
inches in size and 76 in number,
1275 pictures having been used in
filling them. Eighteen hours were
required to place the pictures.
A story. runs through the book,
the cover page of which is a wel­
come picture. The last page is a
good night scene.

pictures of the signing of the Dec­
laration of Independence, the na-

The book is to be presented the

A unique Christmas program is

In spite of the fact that more of
the Siuslaw national forest is in
Lane county than in any oth­
er county, only three of the 30
fires reported in this forest this
year were in this county, the sta­
tistical and summary fire report of
the forest officials, made public
recently, reveals, Also, no fire law
enforcement case was brought be-
fore the court in Lane this year,
while the total in other coun-
ties was 30, according to H. H.
Long, executive secretary in the
forest offiee. In Lane there is
nearly twice as much of the forest
area as in any other county.
The small number of fires in this
county is due, Mr. Long believos,
to the cooperation of the public and
efficient work of the forest rangers.
TAX TIMBER HOLDERS
FOR STATE PROTECTION
Lane Owners Assessed 2.3 Cents An
Acre to Swell Fire Fund.
Lane county timber owners who
have their holdings protected by
the state will be assessed 2.3 cents
per acre, according to a report
received Friday by R. 8. Bryson,
county clerk, from F. A. Elliott,
state fire marshal. This special
assessment will be extended on the
tax rolls against the property listed.
The state charg? is made against
all timber property where the resi­
dence of the owner is more than
one mile away or where other ar­
rangements for protection against
fire are not made. Some years the
tax in the eastern and western
divisions of the county differ but
this year the same assessment is
made against all timber in Lane
that is unprotected.

Lost Soil Elements.
Lane county won the verdict of
the jury -rn the Benton county cir­
cuit court at Corvallis Thursday
in the case wherein Stanley Greg­
or and a large number of other
men, formerly in the employ of
the county road constructon de­
partment here, sued for wages al­
leged due for overtime, approxi­
mating $9000.
The trial lasted for several days,
having begun Monday. The ease
went to the jury Thursday about
11:30 a. m., and the verdict was
returned two hours later.
These men sued for overtime
wages alleged due at various times
between 1^18 and 1923 inclusive.
The county admitted that they
worked overtime but contended
that the men did so at their own
request and were given straight
pay. The law allows them to col­
lect double pay for overtime on
county road work but the claim
was fought on the ground that the
men asked to bo silo wed to work
longer than eight hours, it being
stated that the requost was made
for the reason that they had rather
be working than lying avound the
road camps idle during the long
summer days.
The matter was at' one time
placed before the Lane county
grand jury in an effort to indict
the members of the county court
on a charge of violating the state
labor law, but the jury refused to
return an indictment.

LANE BOYS AND GIRLS
ARE IN MOTION FILMS
Pictures Depict Many Scenes At
State and County Fairs.
Young folk and grownups of
Cottage Grove and vicinity are to
have an opportunity to seo familiar
sights in motion picture at 10 a. m.,
Saturday, December 19. A Beries
of roels will be exhibited at the
high school under the auspices of
the boys’ and girls’ clubs of this
section. There will be no admis-
sion charge.
Some of the licence were taken
at the county fair at Eugene last
fall and others at the recent state
exposition in Salem. Possibly some
of the students here will have an
opportunity to see themselves on
tho screen.
The pictures have not only a
strong appeal to the juvenile
mind, but aro interesting to adults
as well. The scenes are unfolded
in story form, taking up the life
of a small boy as ho first enters
club work and following his prog­
ress through life until finally he
acquires considerable prominence.
The films were produced at a
cost of $10,000 by the Southern
Pacific Railroad company and pre­
sented to tho boys’ and girls’ clubs
of Oregon, as an educational fea­
ture, for free exhibition in every
community of the state.
H. C. Seymour, of Corvallis, state
club director, and Arnold D. Collier
of Eugene, county club leader, will
be hero with the pictures.

‘ ‘ Don’t burn or sell straw, but
use it as fertiliser on your fields,”
was the advice of O. E. Price of
Corvallis, soil expert at the state
agricultural college, in a talk given
Friday evening to ranchers assem­
bled in tho community meeting
house at Dorena.
The speaker explained that an
important element of soil is nitro­
gen. This is very necessary plant
food and when tho nitrogen supply
gets low the soil becomes unpro­
ductive.
“The secret of successful farm­
ing is not to allow the nitrogen
supply to become exhausted. Put
ou fertiliser while the land is still
rich, and it has been demonstrated
over the state that straw scattered
over the fields provides one of the
best rejuvenators yet tried.”
Mr. Price commented on the
regulation of moisture in crop
growing. He contended that too
much wator is as bad a* too little.
Getting the desired amount re­
quires a great deal of attention
and can be governed by cultivating
at the proper time and in the prop­
er manner. This meeting was a
special feature of a regular series
promoted by 8. T. White, instruc­
tor in agriculture in the Cottage
Grove high school, who is giving
instruction in agriculture to farm­
ers in nearby communities.
Although rain fell in torrents,
residents of Dorena, Hebron and
Creswell filled the building. Pre­
vious to Mr. Price’s discussion,
Mr. White took up the regular
evening lesson: “The Plant and
Its Stomach.”
Following the lesson and dis­
cussion a program was rendered
by residents of Dorena and Cres­
well consisting of songs, music,
readings, dialogs and music.

Ijine county's tax levy for 19211

December 20.
The county tax levy last year was
