It was a little wooden horse, with
a mane and tail of Bcarlet wool;
such a toy as a child of three might
play with. It occupied the post of
honor in the center of the mantle­
piece.
Margaret took upon herself to ex­
plain, though the explanation was
not very enlightening.
"For some reason or other that
was my father’s most cherished pos­
session,she said.
"He would
never permit anyone to touch it,
evon dusting it himself. He re­
sented an allusion to it, and when
as a little girl I made a silly re­
mark about the toy, he was more
angry than I have ever seen him
since. I have always fancied that
it must have belonged to him when
he was a child, and that it had
some sentimental association-—with
his mother, perhaps."
"Possibly,-’ said Klyne shortly.

through the undergrowth, Guy led
Klyne to within six feet of the
wall and pointed to a rhododendron,
the shoots and foliage of which
were bruised and broken.

was: "What is on the other side of

Council Committee Gives Rea­
son Why Outsiders Ought •
To Vote Yes.
Saving in Cost of Water To
Equal Increased Taxes
To Be Paid.
Cottage Grove will hold a special
annexation election Monday and
reasons why those living outside
the city should vote to come in
are advanced in posters which have
been issued by the annexation com­
mittee of the city council and are
to be distributed over the city. The
posters read as follows:
*
To Those in Territory Proposed to
Be Annexed.
Beside the patriotic desire which
every resident and property owner
living just outside the boundaries
of the city has to have a part in
supporting the city which is his.
the following additional reasons are
advanced by this committee why
residents shonld vote for annexa­
tion:
WATER SUPPLY—An adequate
water supply will be provided for
all those living within the city
limits, while it is the present policy
of the city to make no further ex­
tensions to property outside the
city, with the probability that
water service to those outside the
city will be -discontinued entirely
or rates made double those charged
to residents inside the city. Those
outside tho city now getting water,
who come in through annexation,
will automatically get the same rate
as that charged those now living
within the city.
REDUCED INSURANCE RATES
—Insurance rates upon residence
property outsido the city are 50%
higher than upon adjoining prop­
erty that is annexed to the city.
Reduced rates will take effect at
once upon property that is annexed.
CITY PRIVILEGES—Those com­
ing into the city through annexa­
tion will automatically become en­
titled to the privileges enjoyed by
those now living inside the city,
such as fire protection, police pro-
tection, street lights, street im-
provements, sidewalks, etc., and
may expect to receive such privi-
leges under the same terms and
condition as do those now residents
within tho eity.
TAXES—Those living outside the
city limits now pay state, county
and school district tax. These tax­
es will be the same whether or not
they come into the city. The city
tax for 1925, to be collected in
1926, will be approximately 24
mills, or $24 on $1000 assessed vain-
ation, or $2.40 on each $100 of as­
sessed valuation. This would be
$4.80 on $200 valuation; $7.20 on
$300 valuation; $9.60 on $400 valu­
ation; $12 on $500 valuation; $14.40
on $600 valuation; $16.60 on $700
valuation; $19.20 on $800 valuation;
$21.60 on $900 valuation.
WATER RATES—Tho average
charge for water in tho city for
domestic purposes is $1.75 the
month, or $21 the year, to which
is usually added $3.75 for irrigation
during the summer, a total of
$24.75. Consumers outside the city
pay 50% more, or an additional
charge of $12.38, which is slightly
more than city tax on $500 of as-
aessed valuation.
Tho property
owner living outside tho city, if
his property should be annexed to
the city, and his assessed valus-
tion should be $500, would be a few
cents ahead; if his assossed valua-
tion should bo slightly more, he
would pay a small amount for the
added privileges which would be
his.
If water rates outsido the city
