Few, if any, are inclined to think
the purchase of the rock crusher,
bv the Lane county court was
bad move. On the contrary!
.....
everyone is iuuu m men puiuc
the effective work being done on
the county roads adjacent toEu -
eene. auemcnted by the crusher.
However, there are other roads be-
sides those leading directly into
the county seat, that need some
attention, and some of them are up
this way. It is to be hoped that as
soon as the court can see its way
clear to do so that this rock eating
machine can be used in devouring
some of the boulders in this part of
the county. We are a few miles
from Eugene it is true, but we ueed
some attention, especially in the
matter of roads, notwithstanding.
The county court has been impar
tial in its many transactions, and
we have no reason to believe that
we will not get material assistance
on the "good roads" proposition
that is bound to demand much at
tention from our people from now
on.
James Smith, who was bound
over in the sum of $500 in Justice
Wintermeier's court at Phigene,
for having stolen a couple of rifles,
has given bail and is at large.
This bail business is getting to be
a nuisance. Of late it seems that,
no matter what crime a man may
commit there is a bail proviso and
if he can liquidate said bail, he can
get out and migrate to pastures
new, and again commence a life of
misdemeanor. This is wrong. If
a man is caught in the act of steal
ing, or if he is proved guilty of
theft, let him be punished. This
ljcensing a man to steal and other
wise break the laws of our land is
disgusting and should not be
tolerated.
Brother Amos of the Broad Axe
lays down some ditections by
which bald beaded editors an' sech,
may again possess a luxurious crop
of locks. In giving the directions
for use, Jim says to apply the
mixture to the hair by rubbing it
on the scalp. Now Jim, what do
you want to mix us up that way
for? How's a fellow going to ap
ply it to the hair by rubbing it on
the scalp1, when his head is as
smooth as a billiard ball, and there
hasn't been a sign of bristle for 10
years or more?
The Monitor-Miner, published
at Medford and for some time un
der the editorial management of E.
E. Phipps, has changed hands, Mr.
Pbipps having sold his stock and
transferred his lease of the Monitor
Miner to A. H. Chessmore and
Rev. J. S. Cain. The Monitor
Miner has been a good paper un
der Mr. Phipp's management and
we trtist his successors will keep it
so.

It shall not be said of Cottage
Grove a year hence that poople arc
obliged to remove to Eugene on
account of not being able to procure
houses in which to live. We'll
take 'em in out of the wet uext
winter.

whipped McCoy in the pugilistic
ring, and Fitzsimmons Lanky
Bob are about to arrange a 25
round mill. Marbles to chalk that

Cottage Grove and the great Bo

this year. Each mail brings letters
and postal cards asking for infor
mation regarding this town and
the mines, and a sample of the Bo

Governor- Geer has been insulted
already. A populist paper has
already referred to him as "border
ing on the doctrine of populism."
Governor Geer is a man calculated
to bear heavy burdens and his very
makup indicates that he can stand
most any kind of disparaging re
marks but this is the unkiudest
cut of all.
The United States government is
making arrangements as fast as
possible to bring home the bodies of
our soldier boys who have given
up their lives in far away Manila.
The body of every son will eventu
ally find a resting place in his na
tive land. What greater honor can
a government of a mighty country
confer upon its soldiers?
When our legislators get through
chewing the rag over salmon eggs
and fish bate and laughing at
their own sta'e jokes, for the want
of something better to do they
might enact a law, prohibiting
bilk show companies, doing business
in the state. The people need a
little protection in this line as well
as others. A company of players
who fail to present the bill they
have- advertised to the public,
should be prosecuted.
It is beyond dispute that there
has been an immense amount of work
put upon the streets of Cottage
Grove, and it is quite as near be
yond dispute that at present we
have as muddy streets as any city
in Oregon. It is not worth th
while to heap gravel upon our
streets with the view of improving
them until we shall have provided a
drainage system. As it is today
there is no way whereby the sur
face water can be removed from the
streets other than by passing through
the gravel upon the streets into the
ground, the result of which is a
softening up 'of the earth, and
with the constant travel upon the
gravel, causes the gravel to be
crushed into the softened earth and
the mud and water to ooze to the
surface. If the streets are first pro
vided with,, he proper
drainage

John Clark an inmate of the
soldiers' home at Dodge City, Kas.,
who had been buried because it is
supposed he had died from typhoid
fever, was exhumed after two days,
and it was found he was only in a
trance. He revived, and states
that he was half concious of every
thing that was going on, but was
helpless to do anything to save
himself from his impending fate.
One ol the soldiers insisted that the
mau was not dead and caused the
exhumation with the result stated.
