Whoever the thievitiff rascals are
who make so much trouble for the
business men of Cottage Grove, by
breaking into the different places of
business, in the stillness of the
dreary night, one thing is certain;
they are after money, they pass by
costly goods of every description
and open the money drawer. How- j
ever they haven't had the pleasure
of getting away with much money !
as the merchants take pretty good
care of that part of the business and
empty the shining stuff into the 1
depths of their jeans pockets before
delivering over the store and its
contents to prowling thieves and a
night watchman that we haven't
got.
The O. R. & N. doesn't seem to
like the Eugene steamboat company
and declined to allow the company's
-steamer to land at O. R. & N.
wharves. In other words the O.
R. & N. don't propose to let Eu
gene play in her rain barrel any
more. The people of Eugene
should now fall upon each other's
necks and between sobs of joy con
gratulate themselves that it has not
been decreed that they yank their
tub out of the waters of the Will
amette. For some time store robbing has
been quite a pastime in Cottage
Grove. It has been suggested that
tramps were the perpetrators of
these crimes. While we are sug
gesting let's suggest to look a little
nearer home. Tramps, like lighten
ing don't hit the same place twice, as
a rule, especially in an interval of ten
days.
It is said that Claude Brantpn
jumped two feet high when he
heard that Governor Geer had
pardoned Olberman. Today Claude
will jump about ten feet low because
Governor Geer did not pardon one
Bran ton.
J. be mining industry made
Spokane, Wash., what that city is
today. The Bohemia mining dis
trict nf 'Lane ronntv will mnlrp
Cottage Grove, if the proper enter
prise is put forth.
Farmers around Cottage Grove
are beginning to see the necessity
of having better roads. It is a
question deserving of the attention
of every enterprising citizen of
every community.
The Eugene Register has just
reached the 16-year mark of its
existence. The Register has al
ways been a good paper, and has
done much for the good or the re
publican party.
It is said that Claude Branton the
condemned murderer gets weak in
the knees at times and begs for
mercy. It is predicted by some that
he will break down on the scaffold.
Lane county should have a rail
road from Eugene to Florence. It
would probably have a tendency to
cheapen freight rates.
How about that night watchman
anyway? Are we to have one?
Surely it looks as though the town
needed one.
There are few towns in Oregon
of the size of Cottage Grove that
don't employ a night watchman.
WRITING EDITORIALS.
If any one thinks it is an easy
job to write a four column editorial
just let him try it once.
1 Before he gets through lie will be
! reminded of the young man who
criticized his pastor's sermons and
complained of his receiving 10 much
salary. So the pastor proposed to
him that he fill his pulpit for him
next Sunday. The young man
readily agreed, saying that it would
be an easy task.
I All day Monday the young mau
' hunted for a text. The pastor had
offered him the use of his study and
1 books. On Tuesday he still hunted
for a text. Wednesday and Thurs-
da he pursued the same occupation
and beginning to grow desperate
appealed to the pastor for a text,
remarking, "If I only had a text
I'd be all right."
The pastor chose a text for him.
He sat down wrote out his text and
then tried to think of something to
write. A few lines came quickly
and there it ended. If you have
ever tried to write au edi
torial you may know somethiug of
the young man's agony when on
Saturday evening he told the
minister he would have to give up,
and henceforth would never com
plain of sermons or salary again.
Capital Journal.
Friday upon the streets of Eu
gene at oue time were a number of
old men, proving that our climate
is conducive to longevity. They
were Waldow Skinner, 90 years,
Bell Jennings, 87, John Cogswell,
86, Dr. A. W. Patterson, 85, H. C.
Hadley, 84, John Diamond, 84,
John Whiteaker, 80, H. C Owen,
80, A. Goldsmith, 79. Each of
these old men is in good health and

have. Guard.
