That fruit worms and bugs will dis-
•ppaar of their own accord, is the be­
lief of J. F. Spray. He made that
pradMIo'i two years ago when Prof.
Withftornhe, of the Oregon Argicul-
tural College, was here and he believes
tha prediction made at that time iH
about to be realized.
In support o f that belief, Spray
cltaa the ease o f several old orchards
which were not sprayed this year and
which were hardly touched by bugs or
worma. He recalls the time when po­
tato bugs disappeared from Iown, and
saya that black-tailed rabbits thst used
to be such a pest in Northern California
and sand squirrels that used to infect
Eastern Oregon have ceased to worry
agriculturists of those sections of the
country.

BLOOD HOUND IS CALLED 13211318
'
1 : 1 & TIMBER
TO JUNCTION CITY
CO. SUED FOR $15,000
The Cottage Grove bloodhound has
been called to Junction City to assist
in tlie capture of daring thieves who
entered the store o f Jacksor. & Son
Tuesday night. They carried away
dravloads o f merchandise and turned
tke store ups«de down.
Entrance to the store was made
through the rear door. The thieves
bored holes through the door and gained
access to the lock, opening the door in
that way. They ate a lunch while in­
side, the remains having been left on
the counter. From the amount o f food
consumed and the leavings found on
the counter it was seen that there
were at least two and perhapB more in­
side the store at the time.
The proprietors of the store do not
know the amount o f goods taken, but
it looks as if great quantities were car­
ried away. The burglars tore up a lot
of goods and scattered more of them
over the floor. When the proprietors
came down in the morn’ ng the interior
of the store looked as if it had been
ravaged by fire or cyclone.
O. W. Dunn yesterday instituted suit
iri the circuit court against the Orchard
Land & Timber Co. of this city to re­
cover 815,000, alleged due as damages
on account of injuries received while
the plaintifT was working in the de­
fendant's sawmill on June 8, 1912. He
saya that while pulling slabs away
from the slab machine he fell from the
platform ta the bottom of a canyon 27
feet below and sustained such injuries
that a curvature o f the spine was
caused. He alleges that the fall was
because the company failed to supply
him a safe place to work.

School Report for September.
Work is progressing nicely in the
public schools, the attendance now be­
ing 521. The girls are ahead in num­
bers with 270 as against 251 boys. The
whole days attendance for the month
was 7,095; total days absent 121 ; total
times tardy 27; number pupils neither
absent nor tardy 419; percentage of at­
tendance 98.1.
In order to make the report to par­
ents and guardians conform to the re­
port made to the County Superinten­
dent, the first report will be made at
the end of seven weeks and every four
weeks thereafter. This will save the
teachers much extra work.
As has been anticipated, the saloon

SURVEYORS ARRIVE NERVY THIEF. STEALS
AT CRESWELL
GRIPS ON TRAIN
They Represent Hill or
Harriman Lines.
A party o f surveyors arrived in Cres-
well Monday noon and were there for
an hour or so.
They came from
Cloverdale to this place and returned
in the same direction.
Some think
they belonged to the Harriman system
while others entertain the opinion that
they were a Hill outfit. It is under­
stood that this party o f surveyors have
been working east out o f Goshen into
the Pleasant Hill section, thence to
Cloverdale, and from the latter place
to Creswell. It is thought that the
survey will be extended west through
Creswell and on to Eugene by way of
Spencer Rutte. However, there are
other reports current and the only way
to find out which is correct is to wait,
as no information can be gained from
the men in the field.—Chronicle.

CURFEW ORDINANCE
FOR GROVE
A t the meetiog of the Council Mon­
day night a petition was presented for
the enacting of a curfew ordinance.
The petition was granted and the City
Attorney instructed to present such an
ordinance at the next meeting.
It seems that Cottage Grove has had
a curfew ordinance, but it haH not been
enforced because o f conflict with the
Juvenile Court. It is understood that
the new ordinance will carry a provi­
sion for the arrest o f the parents in­
stead of the children.
