cities on Wednes<lpy and Thursday,

Agricultural College will hold sessions
in the high school building, giving
lectures, discussions and demonstra­
tions dealing with domestic science
and art, sanitation, food adulteration,
home decoration, child welfare and
kindred subjects.
Other citiea receiving this- educa­
tional treat, which was made possible
by the recent generous legislation in
favor o f the agricultural college, are
all practically twice the size o f Cot­
tage Grove. The department felt,
however, that Cottage Grove was in­

realise the value o f the two-day ses­

anee, especially ao, since all admis­

The culmination of one o f the uniquest
real estate deals ever made here is
found in the suit institutedliy Frances
Maria Harding to recover from J. E.
Thomas, et al. the sum o f $88,000.
About a year ago Mr. Thomas s e ­
cured a deed to the 1200-acre Harding
ranch, a mortgage back on the place
for $80,000 being the only considera-
ion. Mr. Thomas spent considerable
money in improvements and in having
the tract surveyed, made aeveral sales

courts, Mr. Thomas was oblige«! to

It ia understood that the present suit
is ostensibly for the purpose o f again

the part o f Mrs. Harding.
NEW BRICK IS GOING ANOTHER BRIDGE ON

PROBABLE
A new brick building will be erected
at once on Main Street near the cor­
ner o f Fifth Street by W. B. Cooper,
who recently purchase«! the Kebhle-
beck property. Work o f racing the
wooden buildings on the property waa
commenced yesterday.
The new building will be two atoriea
in height and haa already been leased
for a term o f year*. The Sentinel,
however, is not at liberty to make the
name o f the leasee public at this time.

The machine, which was a Stutz 60,
withstood the accident wonderfully,
its only injuries being a demolished
fender, and side light, a crushed radia­
tor and stripped wheel. Despite its
ride on the pilot o f an engine and the
fact that it was thrown against a tele­
graph pole the engine waa atill in run-
ning condition and the wheels did not
even show a bent spoke. Mr. Giltner
has taken the injured machine to Port-
land and expects to return Saturday in
his Peerless car.
Another brigde aomss the Coaat Fork

ture ia to cr«iaa the river at Van Buren
Street near the residence o f Dr. D. L.
Woods. A subscription list to provide
part o f the funds for the work was
circulated aeveral months ago and pre­
sented at the meeting o f the council
Monday night.
There ia no bridge in thia part o f the
city that can be used by teams or
autoa, and the new structure would be
a great convenience.

K now n to Pioneers o f G rove
Mrs. Eliza Spalding Warren, who ia
the subject o f a feature atory in the
August Ladies Home Journal under
the caption “ The First Woman Born
in the W est,” ia well known to a num­
ber o f Cottage Grove pioneers, chief
among whom is A lex Cooley who knew
her and her father, her brother and her
two sisters when they lived in Browns­
ville in 1853.
Mr. Cooley haa on hia old place a
number ' o f apple trees which he
bought aa little trees from Mra.
W arren’s father in February, 1854.
The trees, though nearly sixty years
o f age, are s t ill1 hearing aa lustily aa
young trees mig’M. Mr. Cooley aaya
he frequently gets aa much as a wagon
load o f fruit from one tree. Last year
specimens o f Ave o f the varieties
brought to the local grange fa ir for
exhibition and four prizes were won.
Mra. Warren waa born at Lapwai on
the Clearwater River near the preaent
town o f Lewiston, Ida., Nov. 16, 1837,
and ia the daughter o f Rev. Henry
Harmon Spalding who came Weat with
Mr. Whitman.
Mra. Warren apeaka
interestingly o f their life in the wilds
among the Nes Perce Indiana who
were kind and friendly, o f her father’ s
grist mill, (he first in the country, o f
the Whitman miaaion where she went
to school, and o f the horrible Whitman
Massacre by the Cayuae Indiana.
She was an eye witnesa o f the death
o f Dr. and Mrs. Whitman and many
other residents o f the miaaion and tells
a tale o f revolting cruelty and horror
and abject treachery.
Her whole life story ia one full o f
interest and the inspiration and cour-
aga o f the strong pioneer, and is all
the more absorbing because o f being
the history that the pioneers o f this
section waited eagerly from day to
day to hear.
