The flames were under complete con

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.

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.

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.

One step won’t take you very
far,
Y ou ’ve got to keep on walking;
One word won’t toll folks what
you are,
Y ou ’ve got to keep on talking;
Once inch w on’t make you very
tall,
You’ve got to keep on growing;
One little ad won’t go it all.
You've got to keep 'em going.
