Citizens Petition City Council to Clean Up the Hobo Camp A petition was presented the council, at their meeting Monday evening, by property owners in the north part of the city and east of the Southern Pacific railroad, ask ing that the hobo camp near the Cottage Grove Manufacturing plant be cleaned up and all camp equipment removed. A motion was mack* and carried that the re quest be complied with and the chief of police was ordered to clean up and patrol the place. An application for a retail beer license, class B and retail package store was filed by the Bohemia club, which w as referred to t he liquor committee. Motion was made and carried that the bonds men of Glen Merell, former chief of police, I m « relieved.

GLASS GETS APPOINTMENT County Judge N. E. Glass Sat urday received the appointment from Governor Charles H. Martin as member of the state advisory council of the Oregon State Em ployment service, to succeed Fred Fisk, ex-county judge, who is now collector of customs In Portland. Motor Travel First Six Months of 1938 A Half Year Record Made by Oregon Motorists Equal to 50 Thousand Times Around World More automobiles have traveled the highways of Oregon during the first six months of 1938 than dur ing any similar period In the state's history. Secretary of State Earl Sntdl said today. He bases his statement on the fact that oil companies reported record-breaking sales in Oregon up to June 30, and also paid in more gasoline tax money than during any previous first half year. The total tax paid from January 1 to June 30 wax slightly more than five million dollars, representing the sale of more than 100 million gallons, approxi mately 100 gallons for every in habitant of Oregon, during the six months. Some inten-sting conclusions can be drawn from these figures, Snell says. He points out that Ore gon motorists traveled a total of more than one billion miles since the first of the year -a distance equal to 50 thousands times around the world. The average li censed drivers in that time drove 3000 miles, or about 500 miles per month. "With this tremendous amount of travel, and with an increasing number of cant on the road, the •need for careful, courteous driv ing becomes more urgent every day." Snell declares. “No longer can we allow an 'every man for himself policy to guide our traf fic movement. Drivers can best con tribute to a smooth, rapid flow of traffic by closely observing the rules of t he road, by maintaining a reasonable speed, by signalling their turns and stops and by driv ing at all times In the proper lane. ”1 believe more motorists are beginning to realize this fact, and are actually practicing these im portant rules." Youth Offered Big Prizes at State Fair Oregon's farm youth will have a splendid opportunity to show their wares and enter clean com petition for prizes and scholar ships valued at over $7,000 at the 1938 Oregon State Fair Septem ber 5 to 11, Manager Leo G. Spitzart pointed out this week. Awards given entirely to boys and girls are those in the 4-H club and the Future Farmers of America contests. In these two de partments, the Oregon State Fair will offer nearly $5,000 in cash prizes this year. In addition. 4-H clubtM’rs are offered 148 full and half-time scholarships, valued at about $1,500, to attend the annual summer school at the state col lege. Chinese Pheasants Released Near Here More than 300 eight weeks old Chinese pheasants were released in the Cottage Grove area Friday morning by officials of the Cot tage Grove Rod and Gun club. The birds were from the state game farm at Eugene and make a total of 575 pheasants released in this area since the close of the hunting season last year. The birds were released in sev eral different locations in areas where farmers had expressed a willingness to care for them. The state keeps a record of each loca tion and this information is avail able to state police who will no doubt keep a weather eye out for “sooners." BRISBANE ELECTRIC MOVING The Brisbane Electric store is moving this week to their new lo cation across from the Woodson Motor company on Main street. The building is being renovated and enlarged to give more space for their growing stock of mer chandise. Mr. Brisbane states that their 1939 radios will be on dis play next week.
