The flames were under complete con trol within a few minutes and the damage would have been small except that a shipment of print paper and a stereotyping plant, which had been rr ceived the day before and was still crated, were within a few feet of the flames. Two bundles of the paper, which had been found to be hi the way, hud been moved and were not damaged. The greatest damage was by smoke and steam, which discolored pa(M*r stock and furniture and badly rusted the machinery. Considerable difficulty was experienced in getting into operation the Intertype machine, which has some *1000 parts and many delicate mechanical adjustments. Some stove wood, stored in the rear id' the building, was partially destroyed by the flames. The loss was completely covered by insurance. ^ and o o ttaq e orove lead er COTTAGE GROVE, LANK COUNTY. OREGON, FRIDA Y, DECEMBER 30. 1921 GEESE FILL GIZZARDS WITH GOLD FROM RIVER SAND Those who kill poultry which has been running at large in the (hit tage drove country find that it pays to examine the gizzards for valuable metals. Not long ago several nuggets were found in the gizzard of a chicken which had been ranging on the (). II. Willnrd place. A few days ago Hake Stewart, o! Star, sold a goose to James Spahr. Upon killing the bird and opening the gizzard enough gold was found to almost return the price of the goose. Doc Pitcher had killed a goose a few days bo fore but had thrown the gizzard away. Hearing of Mr. Spahr’s luck, lie went in search of the discarded gizzard, found it and discovered that it also was full of small part ieles of gold, The geese had had access to the sandy soil along the banks of one of the small streams of the Star country and it is thought that there the gold was found. Mr. Stewart intends trying to de velop a strain that will gather their own gold and lay golden eggs.

MICHEL SUES RAILWAY IN SUM OF $3216 SOCIAL HYGIENE MEETINGS ARE TO BE HELD ______ NUMBER 15 METER LIGHT RATES MAY BE LOWERED City Officials, Power Company and Public Service Commission Enter Into Tentative Agreement. It is probable that the Cottage Grove Electric company may make a slight, reduction in meter rates for commercial and residence lighting from those shown in the new schedules of rates made effective by order of the public service commission. A tentative agreement to that effect was made at a conference with the public service commission held last week, which was attended by Mayor Knowles and Coun oilman Veatch, representing the city, and Mr. Bhinn, representing the power company. One condition of such ¡in agreement was that the city shouM take $200 in lights each month as a minimum. The minimum has been $33 a month more than that. None of the rates ordered by the public service commission are as low as those which prevailed several years ago and in most cases th«» decrease from the emergency rates, which were in effect up to December 20, is not large. 'The tentative agreement between city and power company is to come up at a meeting of the council next Tues­ day evening, after which The Sentinel will publish a table of comparative rates, showing the relation i f the new rates to those which have just been superseded as well as to the rates which were in effect up until a few months ago. A ray of hope for a satisfactory ail- just meat of the power and light situ at ion here is the fact that all users must be on meters within two years. The flat rate system has been the cause of much dissatisfaction, both to patrons and to the power company. No matter what you want, never give up until you have used a Sentinel wantad. *** ARCADE THEATER AND BUILDING ARE SOLD The Arcade theater business, owned by U. B.
