ADAMS IS TAKEN TO TASK ON ROAD POLICY Acme Resident Bays Highway Boosters Have Wrong Dope on Divi­ sion Point. Acme, Ore., Feb. 10.— (To the Ed itor.)— In the issue of the Eugene Guard of December 9, E. J. Adams, in laying a road bon«i proposition before the people of the county says to his self appointed committee, “ I have se­ lected you • • • may I ask you to lay aside every preconceived opinion and all jM-tty jealousy." He then lays out his road program in which he termi­ nate* the pru]Mised Willnmette-Coast road at Florence, with that place the division point for roads north and south. This program necessitates the construction of an expensive draw­ bridge to connect Olenadu with "this road and the expense of upkeep on this bridge would e«|Ual the interest on a half million dollars. I f Mr. Adams and his gang could lay aside their interests they would recognize that tne division point on this road should be at a point east of Mupleton, near what is called Indian creek. At this point a connection would be made with the Five Rivers road north to the coaat or to naviga tion, while to the south the Siuslaw river can be crossed to the south bank by a eheap bridge and this bank fol lowed westward to the county line, thereby connecting up all those thickly settled valleys which are now unable to reach the county seat by road. Mr. Adams ami his gang cannot do patriotic w«-rk that demands the leav­ ing out of their self interest. I can not forget their work during the war when they proposed to the govern­ ment the building of a railway exten sion to Florence under the pretense of helping win the war. Being then in touch with the government I was able to frustrate their schemes. A few years ago the county road on the north bank was taken or stolen from the people and given to the Southern Pacific under the pretense that a new road would be built, while any crazy cat knows that the hills at the point where the road was taken are so perpendicular that there is barely room for the railroad tracks and the building of a road at this point is impossible without taking up the railway. The Southern Pacific now has n lawsuit on its hands while the people have no rood. I protested against these unlawful acts at that time to no purpose and I suppose the courts will now let the railroad keep what has been stolen and tell them to pay for the stolen goods, but where will we get a place to put our road. It is therefore ’sometimes necessary to use your 'own opinions that yoii »hull not lose your head after having donated your wits to a road and beach lot booster for occupants and manu­ facturers of tin lizzies. \\ hy not elect E. J. Adams as one of our representatives to an already more or less jammed legislature. Economy- first and bye and bye graded roads for the farmers. O L A F J. HANSSEN.

TRAFFIC OFFENDER PAYS A FINE Marshal Pitcher Bays He 11 m Taken War Path and Regulations Must Be Obeyed. Consternation reigns supreme. Excitement is everywhere. A violator of the traffic ordinances in Cottage Grove ha* been arreted and fined, which marks a n e w epoch in the affairs of the city. The ij ff.-niter had som<- trouble in finding the judge, »h o failed to keep a date he had with the offender, but he found him the next day and made the requeated contribution to the de­ pleted city treasury. Not only hit* an offen«ler been ar­ rested and fined, but Marshal Pitcher ha« issued warning that traffic regu­ lation» are going to be obeyed or he will know the reason why. and when Pitcher aaya a thing is going to be done it usually is «lone. He says he will be no respecter of persona. Ed­ itors, bankers, doctors or lumb«-rjnrks » i l l look all the same to him and the fellow with the noisy cut out trying to awaken the dead of the night and de­ stroy the peace of the day will partic­ ularly come under proscribed nui- *anc«-s. The cut-out must lie cut out, he says, and the judge of the police court » i l l be the big noise hereafter. The offense which ennch«td the city treasury this week was the cutting of the corner at Main and Sixth by the driver of a truck. There are traffic regulation* for pe­ destrians as well as for vehicle*. As an example of what chances p*«Je*tri- ans sometimes take, a woman started to cross Main avenue Tuewiay after­ noon. The speed »he was making would have indicated to any driver that »he was headed somewhere and would keep going. A car swung in behind her just as she d«*eided to retrac«- her steps. The driver waa driving slowly and was able to stop the car within 10 feet. The woman noticed the ear and also put on the emergency, but a serious accident might easily have resulted. MRS. JE A N MORRIS ELLIS TO ADDRESS SERVICE M E N Mrs. Jean Morris Ellis, lecturer and «Jiuracter analyst, who has many friends in Cottage Grove because of past lectures here, will deliver an ad­ dress to the public in the h«gn school assembly room on Friday night, March 5, at S o ’clock. Mrs. Ellis worked during the war in the spruce camps and won the friemlship of the men because of her helpful -.d«ir«-*sv.< nnd personal conferences. Mrs. Ellis comes at thi* time in the inti rest of all ex service men interest­ ed in adding to th«-ir education or who are desirous of expert advice re­ garding the lines of work to which they are by nuture and tempi-rament adapted. Thi’ lecture will be for the public generally and Mrs. Ellis will meet any ex-service men by appoint­ ment during the next day or two fol­ lowing She is working under the edu­ cational service of the Y. M. C. A. and both lecture and conference are free. Any ex-service man desirous of ar­ ranging in advance for a personal in­ terview with Mrs. Ellis may do so by handing his name to Major Harry K. Metcalf or to Superintendent of Schools W. U. Beattie. Dr. SctUeef in Auto Accident. Salem. Ore., Feb. 17.— Dr. Catherine Schleef, of Medford, was seriously cut about the face and head toilay jvhen an automobile in which she was riding became unmanageable, dashed across the sidewalk and plunged through a window in the garage conducted by Otto Wilson. T. II. Thuemler, who oc­ cupied a seat beside Dr. Schleef, sus tained several body bruises. Dr. Schleef was carried to the offices of a phwicinn. where she received medical attention. The accident, ac­ cording to witnesses, was due to Dr. Schleef swerving her car to avoid a collision with another machine. Dam age to the car was slight. Essay Contest Today.

The dollar spent for stock and the eighty for an ad., brought him in thr«*e lovely dollars in a day, by dad! Well, he bought more goods and a little more space, and he played that syitem with a smile on his face. The customers flocked to his two-by-four, and soon he had to hustle for a regular store. Up on the »«pinre, where the p*-ople pass, he gobbled up a corner that was all plat© glass. He fitted up the win­ dows with the best that he had, and told them all about it in a half page ad. He soon had ’em coming, and he ne\*er, never quit, nnd he woubin’t rut down ou his ads. one jit. And he’s kept things humming in the town ever since, and every­ body calls him the Merchant Prince. Some say i t ’s luck, but that’s all bunk— why, he was doing business when the times were punkl People had to purchase, and the geezer was wise— for he knew the way to get ’em was to advertise.
