Cottage Grove Retrospective
A look back at Sentinel stories from 30, 60 and 90 years ago
Tidbits from September 1, 1927
Stores to Be Closed Monday - All stores
and business houses of the city will be
closed all day next Monday, which will be
Labor day. Many are planning to take ad-
vantage of the two-day week-end holiday to
go to beach resorts or on camping trips.
Cone Industry Brings Unexpected Mon-
ey Here - Fir cone gathering has developed
rapidly. Joseph A. Manning, representing
his company, was here today to receive the
product already gathered and was pleased
with progress. More than fi fty sacks, weigh-
ing approximately 85 pounds each, were
ready for him and he said that was a good
showing for the fi rst returns. Those who
have gathered are well pleased with the
amount of money coming from this un-
expected enterprise. Earl Neal, who owns
a farm two miles down river from Culp
Creek, said that he and Mrs. Neal, and she
was somewhat retarded in her work by rea-
son of her care of several small children,
made $7 a day for two days.
Woodson Gets Permit To Erect Tile
Building - A permit for the erection of a
building to cover the vacant ground lying
west of the Woodson garage and extending
to the Howe confectionary store was grant-
ed by the city council Monday night to O.E.
Woodson. The structure is to be 75x95 feet
and is to be of open tile construction, which
is the same construction as that of the build-
ing now occupied by the Woodson garage.
Mr. Woodson is out of the city and no
statement has been made as to what use will
be made of the building. It is understood,
however, that it is to have two or three
store fronts and to have a second story. The
ground on which the new building will rise
is across the street from Hotel Bartell and
was once used as a deer park.

thing entirely new and different - a cross be-
tween a rayon pebble and - well, we haven’t
decided what, yet. Gorgeous plaids in red,
blue, green and orange, and dainty check
in blue and gold. These present the out-
standing creations in moderately priced Fall
dress goods. Excellent for school frocks
and SO serviceable.
“Max Schwartz”
- The Finest in the Art of Tailoring. That is
the reputation I have been building up ever
since my arrival. Anything less would be
disappointing to me, for mediocrity is not
my standard. Clothes made to fi t you per-
fectly, of high grade material and the best
of workmanship are the kind you have been
looking for, and this I guarantee to give
you. Men who like distinctiveness in their
clothes are fi nding their ambition realized
in this establishment. And the best of all the
prices are reasonable. You are cordially in-
vited to come in and inspect my full display.

That’s the kicker. Oregon taxpayers will get an extra
bit of money in their refunds in 2018. For those that
paid state income tax in 2016 will get a refund in 2018.
The average return is expected to increase by $227 and
the median increase is estimated to be $89. The refund
is based on how much money the taxpayer makes.

Oregon Secretary of State Dennis Richardson put the
lid on rumors he may run for governor in 2018. He
announced last Wednesday, “I’m not running for gov-
ernor. I’m focused on being the best secretary of state
I can be.”
• Texas is under wa-
ter. Hurricane Harvey
dumped 50 inches of rain
in Texas this weekend with water levels reaching state
highway signs, submerging vehicles and trapping resi-
dents on rooftops. Emergency responders’ call log had
a 1,000-call back log over the weekend with media
outlets stepping in to aid in the rescues as well as good
samaritans who used their personal boats to check for
trapped residents along roadways and fl ooded homes.
Harvey has stalled over Texas and is expected to drop
more rain on the already saturated state.
