Wonderful Versatility of Cottage Grove
Soil that Astounds Outsiders.
Toot! T oot! All aboard! The big
trip around the world starts next
Thursday evening from the building
formerly occupied by Lawson’ s paint
shop, where tickets will be sold and
baggage and babies checked.
Special reduced one way tickets
sold at 35 cents, which includes meals
and berth—but there will be no chance
to sleep.
The trip is being personally con­
ducted by the ladies of the Presbyter­
ian Church.
The countries to be visited are the
United States at the home o f Mrs.
Helen Silsby; Japan at the C. J. Kem
hom e; Germany at the B. R. Job
hom e; Greece at the C. C, Adams
home, Ireland at the J. S. Medley
home.
Passengers secure their tickets at
the Union Depot and can visit the
countries in any order in which they
choose. Those who wish to secure
tickets in advance can get them at
the Metsan Shop.
Ted Silkwood, a young man living
near Creswell, attempted to enter the
home o f C. J. Schmitt at that place
Wednesday night o f last week, but was
discovered and captured at the point of
a gun.
It is understood that he pried open
the window of a room occupied by two
young girls of the family, awakening
them in do doing. Seeing visions o f
the Eugene murder being repeated,
they screamed at the top o f their
voices, their father was awakened,
grabbed a loaded shotgun and ran
around th^ house, put the gun to his
shoulder, and was ready to shoot, when
he recognized the burglar, who sub­
mitted to arrest.
The young women are certain the
man had a knife in his teeth as he
knelt on the window sill and surveyed
them a few moments before dropping
back to the ground. At any rate he
brandished the knife before submitting
to capture.
Silkwood was taken to Eugene the
next day. He admitted that he was
drunk when he attempted the burglary,
was admitted to $500 bail, which he
was unable to furnish and was remanded
to jail to await the next term of court.
It was at first rumored that he had
been connected with the Mildred Green
murder, but the District Attorney has
denied the rumor.
The Oregon Electric may Mart from
[■jugene towards Cottage Grove yet
thia year. An official o f the road while
in Eugene recently stated that plana
were already under way to start build­
ing out o f Eugene almost as soon as
that city ia reached.
The fact that several surveying par­
ties have been near this city o f late is
pretty good evidence that a tentative
right-of-way to Cottagu Grove has
been «elected and that announcement
o f purchases may soon be made. Sur­
veying has already been done and
stakes set for an outlet after reaching
the county seat.
