LEAD ER AUOUBT 1, 1012. HuccUlent and tender Cottage Orove vegetables are now tickling the palates o f at least one (California family. (Ireen things are almost as common ( hi the Cottage drove market at this time of year as at any other season. Kvery time Mrs. C. A. Hprague, a vis itor from Washington, passed a shop window full o f the vegetables or saw them growing in a garden, ahe thought o f her California relativea who did not have nuoh things. The wish that they could have some became so strong that she finnlly packed n big box with cab- lingo, turnips, celery, carrots, beets and other vegetables and dispatched it to the vegetablenn family in the state o f fruit nnd flowers. Boy Scouts Organized The organir.ntion of n troop o f Boy Hcouts o f America was effected Friday afternoon at the Baptist Church, start ing with three full patrols nnd a fourth well on the way.

Fur a couple months a crew o f men bus Ireen busy in the forest reserve building railway through the timber purchased by the logging company and making other ar rangements for getting the timber out expeditiously. Hince the Brown Lumber Co. closed down a month ago two-thirds o f the mill building has Ireen torn down and the entire structure has Ireen rebuilt. Quite a lot o f new machinery ban Ireen purchased and will be installed before the plant resumes operations It is snticipated tbat the repair work will take until well into January. The J. H. Chambers mill has orders on unml which compel operations fur a short time at least. SURES PROSPEROUS FUTURE O W NER OROVE OP STORE. The rumor which has gained some credence tbat Hampton A Co.’s store iu this city is to be closed out when Mr. Tyson, the present manager, moves to Eugene, is emphatically denied by Mr. Tyson. The manager who will suc ceed Mr. Tyson was selected some time ago in the person of Lair A. Ralston, at present employed by I'mpbrey A Mnckin. The business ha* proved a successful one and Mr. Hampton, who is now entire owner o f the store, thinks the future o f Cottage Orove is one tbat assures prosperity to every business in the city. He intends to show his faith in the city by continuing the business upon the same scale as in the past, en larging as the growth o f the city de mands.

The wisdom of the build- ing committee in placing the building where it could be easily seen from passing trains was at once demonstrated.

Cottage Orove has the distinction oY being the first city in Lane County, pos sibly in the state, to declare a Road Builders’ Day nnd a Road Meeting Day, during the progress o f which business shall cease. The Road Builders’ Club, at its meeting Monday night, set aside tbe seeond Monday in January for the first day. A ll business will be asked to cease and every citizen capable of that much physical exertion ia expected to appear upon one o f the highways leading into the city with his or her rake and put in tbe day under the sup ervisor o f that road district. A num ber o f road drags have been ordered constructed and at least one will be plaeed on each road. County President Fitzbenry will probably be preseat to witness the progress o f the movement started by him. Road Meeting Day will be the Hnturday following Road Builders’ Day and every resident o f the Cottage Orove country is expected to attend. Hubjects o f vital interest will come up at this meeting.

OOTTAOE GROVE COTTAGE GROVE, OREGON, WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 10 XXV SAVES EMPLOYER’S LIFE DAY HE IS HIRED W IT H DENCE D ISTRICT. Wrap Your G ood s in Best You Have; One Man Finds It Pays By Devoting Paper to Best Interests of Readers, Yon Get That Which Ia Moat Valuable to Advertiaer, Says “ Make up your mind to have at least one page devoted entirely to your renders.’ ’ said Horace Barnes o f the Alhian (Io w a ) Republican ,in a recent address before the Houthern Iowa Ed itorial Association. Continuing he suid, “ I suppose you want to know if I think it pays to run a ‘ clean front, with absolutely no advertising— Yes, it dues nnd it pays big. Everybody ap preciates it and after having a clean front for a while your readers will not stand for any other sort. Besides that, the advertiser knows that it ia the bright nnd interesting front page with nothing but the best and latest news on it that builds up and holds the cir culation.’ ’ Mr. Barnes declared from every point of view it was o f superior advantage to keep the front page free from ad vertising o f any sort. The advertiser Iowa Publisher soon learns that some other place is just as good for his advertising as the front page, for the reader catches his adver tising on the inside pages just as surely as he does on the outside, and at the same time appreciates the readableness o f the front page so much that the cir culation grows apace. And it is cir culation that counts with the advertiser, for his aim is to reach the largest num ber o f people possible. “ When you wrap your paper in the best you have— give it a clean front, when you have a list o f paying sub scribers, when you have the nerve to pass up the patent medicine ads that pay from two to three cents an inch, then you are making newspapers, not mere dope sheets,” according to Mr. Barnes, who himself has made -one o f the greatest successes in Middle West ern Newspaperdom. That the City Council intends making a fight on flies, disagreeable odors and disease breeding accumulations o f every kind is indicated by its action in passing an ordinance with an emer gency clause regulating the construction and maintenance o f barns and stables. No livery stable housing more than five head o f horses or cattle are to be allow ed in the residence listrict. which in cludes all o f the city except that part bounded by Tenth street, Washington Avenue, I street and Whiteaker Ave. Cottage Orove wishes to again demon strate its progressiveness by being the first city in tbe county to apply for the road primers which arc being published by the county court. The secretary of the Road Builders' Club has been in structed to take the subject up with the court, after which it will taken up with the schools. Sanitary precautions, i n e lu d i n g the keeping clean o f the stables and stable yards by the removable o f man ure every two days during the months from April 1 to October 1 and once each week during the remaining months, are made compulsory by the new ordi nance. A fine not to exceed 220 and imprisonment in default o f fine, not to exceed ten dayx, is fixed as the penalty for violation o f this ordinance.

Cottage Grove does not furnish the only instance o f an increased enroll ment in the city schoots apparently contradicted by decreased school census.

For that reason the commercial club has under consideration the adoption o f some dis tinctive feature that will attract at tention to the delegates from this city whenever they visit other cities o f the valley. This may take the form o f uni forms. different in color from those of any other city, or something entirely new and unique may be worked out. A committee has been appointed, consist ing o f David Griggs, J. 8. Silsby and C. M. Hhinn, w“ eh will make recom mendations at the next meeting o f the club.
