the records do not show any record of
the marriage. Mhe also claims that she
is the daughter of B. K. I.awson, who
was recently warden of the state peni
tentiary at Salem. Mhe says she was
formerly Mrs. Pearl Braunhart. but that
she left her former husband in San
Francisco and then returned to Salem,
where she lived till the beginning of
this year, when she went to Portland
and met and married Meyer.
While both are held for the forgery.
Meyer cluims thut the woman is in no

7 SHRINERS’ TRAINS COME
DURING DAYTIME
A revised schedule o f the Shriners’
special trains that will pass through
here on the way to the San Francisco
Exposition from the national conclave
at Seattle next week shows that seven
of them will pass through here during
the daytime. A majority o f the trains
are scheduled to leave Portland at such
a time us will bring them through Cot
tage Grove ufter night. Most o f the
excursionists plan on spending a day in
Portland, sightseeing, and leaving that
city in the evening.

Hen Set Here Hatches
Chicks in Spokane
Many peculiar stunts have been per
formed by hens raised in the Cottage
Grove country, but never until just re
cently hns anyone here made the ex
periment o f shipping a setting hen to
another city by express.
This was
done by Bert Nokes, who recently
moved from here to Mpoknne. His
friends here smiled knowingly when he
told them what he intended doing, but
he packed his hen nevertheless and she
arrived at her destination without hav
ing in any way changed her mind about
her desire to raise a family. Mr. Nokes
hns now sent word that 12 out o f the
14 eggs hatched and that the little
chicks and their mother are doing nice
ly. It isn’t often that a hen hatches
her chicks 500 miles or so from where
she started setting.
STATE ADVISORY BOARD TO
BE HERE TUESDAY
S. Benson. Portland Millionarie. J. H.
Albert and Leslie Butler Are In
Party of Viewers.
The members of the advisory board
of the state highway commission are
expected to be in Cottage Grove next
Tuesday on a trip over Pacific High
way for the purpose of inspecting it.
A letter received recently by County
Judge Harry I.. Bow n from K. F. Can
tine, deputy state highway engineer,
conveys this information and asks that
the members of the county court meet
the members of the advisory board at
the county line and accompany them
over the highway through I.ane County.
The party will leave Portland July 12,
aud is expected to reach Kugene that
evening.
The members o f the board are H.
Benson, the well known Portland mil
lionaire, whom the Panama-Pacific Kx
position will recognize by setting aside
one day in his honor in the near future:
J. H. Albert and Leslie Butler.
The letter from Engineer Cantine
states that the board will go as far as
the state line over Pacific Highway and
return north by way o f Central Oregon.
The members o f the board will meet
the various county courts on the trip
for the purpose of discussing road mat
ters in general and to receive any sug
gestions or ideas that would ussist the
board and the highway department of
the state in planning for the future.
Lane County can boast o f one of the
best sections of Pacific Highway in tin-
entire state. A large portion of it con
sists of water bound macadam.
Swearing Ruins League.
Hazleton, Pa.— Swearing at the urn
pire in the Munday School League con
tests at Hazleton by overworked play
ers has created dissension among the
clubs. The rules o f the organization
call for dismissal of men who piny ball
on Sunday or who use foul language,
and some o f the managers insist that
fans who grow profane shall be
ejected.
Many women attend the games and
they have been shocked at some criti
cism of the work o f the umpires on
tight plays.
