Fifty cent a head being offered the deal was closed on the spot, but before Spray could get the sheep out of the pasture a buyer came along looking for sheep. A price being agreed up on the second transfer was made, and Spray had neither sheep nor goats but had made a quick profit on his transaction.

Until they make a trip along its line, few residents o f the Cottage Grove country realize what an artery o f busi ness the Oregon & Southeastern rail way ia, nor do they fully comprehend that the twenty-three miles o f railway commonly termed “ The Slow and Easy,” is probably the greatest factor in the development o f the Grove coun- try. The editor of The Sentinel made such a trip Sunday and was forcibly im pressed with the preparations being made for activity in the lumber busi ness. Operations in the forest reserve, where the U. S. Logging Co. has com menced work are on a large scale and millions o f feet of timber has already been felled and is being snaked out with donkey engines. A good-sized crew o f men is in there now, but it ia easily seen that preparations are being made for use of a much larger number. Work ot laying rails on the O. & S. E. extension continues. For two thousand feet further at least the road will be pushed into the big timber be fore construction work is halted. At Disston the J. I. mill is a scene o f activity after a long idleness. The first sawing was done last week. New single piece saws have been installed. The advantage of their use is a big saving in the sawing, several more boards beine gotten out o f a log. A new planer that will handle any kind nf timber that can be gotten to (Continued on page 2.) Representatives Spend Day in Cottage Grove Discouraged With Conditions in Cold Northern Clime, Farmers Looking to Western Oregon. Conducted by W. H. Jenkins, travel ing passenger agent o f the Southern Pacific, four emissaries representing thousands o f Canadian farmers spent all dayj yesterday in Cottage Grove. They are from the Saskatchewan coun try in British Columbia, and desire to come to Western Oregon to buy farms, having become discouraged at the ex tremely cold climate in the British territory. Willamette Valley and Southern Ore gon may receive an increased popula tion of fully 10,000 thrifty people from this source. In case the delegates now in this state find that the price» of lands in tho territory tributary to Portland markets are reasonable, that the trans portation facilities are adequate and that the markets are o f easy access, this unprecedented horde o f new set tlers will make arrangements to dis pose of their Canadian lands and come to Oregon as soon as possible. It is estimated on good authority that with the families and children o f these farmera it will mean a new population o f at least 10,000 and probably nearer 12,000. The four delegates are being con ducted through the Willamette valley by W. H. Jenkins, traveling passenger agent o f the Southern Pacific, and will gather their data upon which to base their recommendations from the sec tions tributary to Salem, Albany, Cor vallis, Eugene, Cottage Grove, Rose- burg and Grants Pass.
