When the resolution came up for a vote, Alderman Wallace explained that when up for election he had stated that he was for the city’s water supply first and was defeated on that proposi tion. He therefore asked to be ex cused from voting as he could not vote in accordance with the apparent wishes of his constituents. This statement called from Alderman Martin the statement that unfair means were used in the defeat o f Mr. Wallace. The resolution was passed and will be forwarded to Representative Haw ley and Senators Bourne and Chamber- lain and all others where it is thought it will do any good. The resolution was brought up by reason of the fact that it is understood that the township in question has been filed on for log ging purpose:. Birds Are Tame. George Dorris says that the Reeves pheasants recently liberated on the state preserve just south of town are becoming so domesticated that he feeds them at the usual feeding time. The Golden pheasants, although somewhat wild, are still making the Dorris farm their home, and it is safe to say that within a few years these beautiful game birds will have multiplied beyond the fondest hopes of those who were instrumental in obtaining the birds.— Storm Giant Tree Commercial Bodies May Consolidate Springfield News.

WANTS HALF INTEREST IN HARDING RANCH PARENTS SUBJECT T O BIG LANE PROSECUTION Cottage Grove Seed Is Wanted by Uncle Sam SPRINGFIELD EXPECTS NEW MILL Official Announcement Is Expected After New Year. Springfield is in a state of restless expectancy in anticipation of some thing happening in regard to the re building o f the Hooth-Kelly mill. Nothing is given out by the officiais of the concern and there is a general feeling that nothing will be made pub lic officially until the details have been settled in the dealings of the company with the government under the inno cent purchasers act, but at the same time enough is happening to make residents feel confident that the mill will be rebuilt next year. In addition to the completion of the logging rail way into the timber upon which work ceased when the mill burned. Loggers coming down from Wendling say that two o f the largest camps ever yet established by the company have been opened in the timber, without any necessity for such opening to supply the present mills of the company. Meantime the $40,(MM> hotel proposi tion seems ready to be announced, but the place o f its location, or the per sonnel of those interested, has not yet been made public. Col. Wood Appealed to.

TAX LEVY MADE SOON Expected That Assessment of 15 or 16 Mills W ill Cover Y ear’ s Expenses. The annual tax levy for 1913 will be ma0e some time before the first of the year, possibly at the adjourned meet ing next Monday. There has been a desire on the part of the council to wait for a decision of the supreme court in the boundary case, but this will probably not be possible. Members o f the council have ex pressed a desire to have a free expres sion of opinion from the taxpayers as to what the levy should be. The Com-I mercial Club was asked for an expres sion o f opinion, but decided that not to Time is money, it costs you about be the province o f the club. a dollar in time every time you read Everything you can mention ia in all the live news in one issue o f The I f it ’s in The Sentinel it ’s news—if The Sentinel.

Mr. Currin has for years past fur nished the government with differed? seeds, especially o f forage crops, and experiment stations are coming to de pend upon him for a certain portion of seeds every year. Seeds raised in the Cottage Grove country are among the best for experimental purposes and farmers are missing a profitable crop by not grow ing for that purpose.
