Thete is no use beating about
the bush. Cottage Grove has
reached the point in her municipal
history when ways and means
sufficient to carry on the city gov
ernment must be considered by her
citizens. At present the city's
"bonded indebtedness is $5,000, draw
ing 8 per cent interest. Our streets
are, as all must admit, in a de
plorable condition. We have only
a 12 o'clock electric light service,
we have no night watch; and all of
these are a necessity to any well
managed municipality. It is not
the fault of the present city council,
nor of former city councils.
They have managed the affairs as
best they could with the funds at
hand. The citizens of Cottage
Grove should set themselves to
working out a plan whereby the
interests of the municipality may
be furthered. In the first place 8
per cent interest is too high, and
should not be paid any longer. It
is a safe assertion that money can
be borrowed at 6 per cent, and per
haps less. Why not issue new
bonds at a reduced interest and pay
off the old ones, at the same time
borrowing enough more to make
the necessary improvements? The
city can borrow nearly $2,000 more,
by issuing new bonds, without in
creasing her interest account.
Various complaints have come to
this office in the matter of obscene,
and vulgar language being used on
the streets of Cottage Grove, by
men, who, were we to intimate
that they were not perfect gentle
men, would be much offended. We
realize that many men so far as the
term is applicable in a business
sense, use language that is rough
and as a rule not appreciated even
by themselves, but no true gentle
men will use vulgar language in
the presence of ladies, and every
man, even if be be abdicted to the,
use of profanity, should refrain, in
honor of the woman who bore him,
from giving vent to uncouth ff
tionson the street co'rners.

Susan 11. Anthony, now comes
to the front with her opinion of the
Roberts case. Susan says: ':There
isn't a tnati in congress who dares
raise his voice against Roberts. If
he does his own record will be
sifted to the bottom. Almost
all men are guilty of violating the
sanctity of the home." Now for
the life of 'us we can't see, and
furthermore don't care what this
has to do with the matter of seat
ing Congressman Roberts of Utah;
but we would like to know how
Susan comes to know so doggasted
much about all the men?

Manila, Nov. 28, The trans
port Manauensc, with Lieutenant-
Colonel Webb C. Hayes and three
companies of the Thirty-first in
fantry on board, has arrived here.
She nar.owly escaped disaster. The
Officers and soldiers were for 120
days bailing with buckets. The
steamer was unseaworthy, under
manned and short of provisions.
Her engines broke down, and she
rolled three days in a typhoon. Au
thorities from San Francisco deny
that the transport was unseaworthy ,
short provisioned, or undermanned.
Berlin, Nov. 28, "President
Kruger and President Steyn have
instructed General Joubeit and
General Cronje not to split their
forces into small detachmants, but
to strike vigorous blows. Genera 1
Joubert has three corps, one hold
ing Ladysmith, the second com
manding the Lufiela, and the third
east of Estcourt, in order to cut off
the British retreat. General Cronje's
forces are divided into three con
tingents, one Kimberley, another
at Modder river, and the third in
the rear of General Methuen."
Washington, Nov. 28. The
financial bill prepared by the re

met at Atlautic City last spring was

h day the repoi t of some,
,a pioneer's death is flashed c r
the telegraph wires of the sta,
bringing us , to the realization that
,the day is fast approaching when
we shall have placed the sod over
the last survivor of the old heroes
of pioneer days in Oregon. We
may without hesitation call them
heroes, for they were heroic in all
their actions. The last one to be
recorded is Lane county's old and
aespected citizen Joseph G. Gray,
of Eugene. He died in Albany at
the home of his son-in-law, F. J.
Miller, on the evening of November
26 of pneumonia, aged 75 years.
Mr. Gray was a pioneer of 1853,
and was known throughout the
state. He held various positions
of trust, and was respected for his
true manhood and 'gentleness of
nature.
A Chicago woman, frankly ad
mitted in court recently that she
made it a rule to soundly spank
her husband twice a day. If this
turns out to be a regular Chicago
custom,, one will begin in time to
cordially sympathize with Luet
gret and the other wife boilers of
that extraordinary city. S. F.
