The school year brings its troubles to the parent in the matter of procuring the necessary funds with which to purchase Ihe alleged needed books for the young idea. If ever an imposition was thrust full in the face of the ever patient pub lic, it is the school book imposition handed down to us for lo these many years; but the patrons of the public schools have become so ac customed to the great abuse that little grumbling is heard they having taken to it as a thing in evitable, and have virtually given up the thought of remedy. Now it is said that legislation has de creed that the several states shall adopt the same standard of books. This is a move in the right direction and may be the commencement of 1 ' e led reform in the interest of i- . An txhorbitant price has always been tolerated, and it is about time this was investigated by our law makers. The Campfire Last Saturday Evctv ing Well Attended by the Old Veterans. Don't forget the date, October 23d at 2 p. ra. at Martin's Hall in Cottage Grove, when and where Hon. Thomas H. Tongue will talk to all who come about the leading issues of the campaign. Don't miss this opportunity to listen to one of the finest speakers in Ore goui He will interest you and will, perhaps, tell you things you don't know, and when he is through there is one thing that you will want to do, and that is to vote for McKinley and Roosevelt. The directors, representatives of the construction company and the building contractor of the Oregon Midland Railroad have held a meet ing at Ashland on last week and arranged all matters tor tue im mediate beginning of work on the new road. The contractor is given until December 31, 1001 to finish his work. Hon. Thomas H. Tongue will address the voters attd ladies of Cottage Grove and vicinity, on the vital issues of the presidential cam paign at Martin'S!Hall on Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock on October 23d. He is a fluent speaker and will voice words, of wisdom that all should hear. It is not necessary to go ,back to 1896 to find inconsistencies in Bryauite speeches. The trade pros perity now being enjoyed by Porto Rico destroys some of the latter day utterances. Alabama sold twenty thousand tons of pig iron to foreign buyers in August, tlje largest output for the European trade ji? the history of that state. Alabama should go for McKinley and expansion. Ex-Secretary Olney was the man who advised President Cleveland to use federal troops against the strikers in Chicago during the term of the last democratic administration. Last Saturday evening the old comrades of the G. A. R. Post here held one of their interesting and time-honored campfircs in Martin's Hall, which, though not numer ously attended was in other re spects all that could be desired, and fully and faithfully exemplified the strength of the bond of fraternity that binds together the battle scarred heroes of today who gathered from the northland in the early sixties to defend and preserve the sisterhood of states that now is the most powerful, grandest and most liberty-loving nation on earth. The campfire opened with selec tiops on the graphophone, which was followed by a piano symphony, and then was introduced Rev. V. J. Gardner as the orator of the evening, who as a boy faced the caution's mouth. He gave a graphic picture of his experience in Kentucky and Tennessee in those troublous times when the mighty army of the Cumberland battled with the dauntless foe of the south land. The generation of today can but faintly grasp the terrible trials and fierce conflicts endured, nor will they ever apprsctate the bitter hatred entertained by the con quered foe. The oration over, the audience was invited to partake of an army banquet. The tables were laid with pork and beans, hardtack and coffee, served in tin plates and cups on bare boards. The youug folk present thought it a barren spread, but the old heroes sat down with smiles, and memory carried them back to thirty-six years ago when a layout of that sort would have been considered a royal feast; the Rev. Gardner asked a blessing, and amid the reminiscent story of those long ago dark days the provender was soon Stowed away where it would do the most good. Some militarv evolutions were then " gone through with, guard mounting, picket duty, bringing in of spies, reading general orders, and incidents of life before the enemy. Singing by a group of young ladies and more graphaphone selections i Comrade E. F. Chapman of Eu gene was then introduced and for half, an hour entertained the au dience with thrilling sketches of his share of trials in the maintenance of this nation, and incidents that grew out of it and were euacted many years afterward on this coast. The hour was growing late and with a few well chosen remarks by Commander Miller and Comrade Hicks the entertainment came to an end. The writer was through the civil conflict and served in the army of the Patomac and in the miasmatic labyrinths of the Dismal Swamp of Virginia and North Carolina. Those times were days of trouble and conflict and nights of misery and woe, and every year now sees the members of that vast army fad ing from the walks of life and pass ing over the Styx. Two years ago 35,000 passed over, last year 40,000 and it is estimated that this year the ranks will be depleted of 50, 000. The glory of those grand old veterans will never -fade, but through political trickery thousands are illy paid for the sacrifices made. To show how bitter was the hatred of the foe 'of those days a couple of stanzas is given from memory of a poem written by the daughter of General Petnberton, who commanded at Vicksburg dur ing the siege. The lady after the war married a white lieutenant of a Massachusetts colored regiment: The sweot ningnoliu in Its pritlo When touched by Yankee hnnda has died; Tho Southern rose would ceaso to bloom If planted nonr 11 Yankee tomb. Her free-born maids mid nmtrons fair, Who wrought the flag her soldiers bear, Would form u line of battle When their hearts grow dim for want nt men. And rather than xeo freedom's flnp Htir- rondored up lo Ynnkeedom Would perish one by one In strife All recklcaa of the duaturdti knife. What! Call tho unfile Irom his flight To nestle with tho 45000 nt night, Hid him quit his mountain penk, With barnyard birds n tniite to seok, 'Twero better that you lay him low In battle Than thus dogrado hlin so. To force n Christian soul to dwell, In common with the llemls of hell, Constrained to taste ouch bitter cup Intended forthe damned to sup, Would eeem as much like heaven's decree A Yankee rule nmong tho free. REPUBLICANS, ATTENTION. All members of the Cottage Grove Republican Club and all republi cans of this vicinity who are in terested in prosperity, a substantial money system and a progressive government are cordially invited to he in attendance ill call meetimr assembled at the city hall, on Mon day eveniue, Oct. 15, to confer and make arrangements for the re ception and entertainment of Hon. Thos. H. Tongue, who will ad dress tho citizens of this city and vicinity on the afternoon of Oct. 23 on the leading issues of the day By order of C. J. Howard, Pres. James Hemenway, Sec. It USIXESS A CTI VITY. The past week has given this city perfect weather. Clear Italian skies have been the rule; the nights have been moonlit and cool enougl: for refreshing rest; the mornings have been a bit foggy, just enougl: to give zest and anticipation to the days that followed. Business has been brisk with all the merchants and a rushing fall trade is being done. Improvements have gone steadily ahead, building having been more active than at any time in the his tory of this city. Carpenters and painters have seen no idle days when the weather permitted them to follow their calling. Work of all kind has been plentiful and idleness has as yet not been known The grading and rocking of streets has been pushed with en ergy and the streets worked upon are fastassuminga substantial look Wall street has received its full complement of coarse rock, been rolled down and now only awaits its top dressing of fine rock to make it a splendid avenue. The block at the depot has also been covered with the first layer of rock. Several substantial culverts and crosswalks have been completed and more are under way. When the street improvements now being made are done our citi zens will have cause for rejoicing at the accomplishment of tho first and most important step in the building of a future city. ;mi niMiivm m n. - 35 w 1 Lurch's Lurch s WE HAVE RHCK1VE1) ALL OF OUR WINTER GOODS AND THE SAME WILL UK SOLD AS CHEAP AS ANY PLACE IN THE VALLEY.

The democratic nominee prospers on the closing down process. You voted for prosperity and got it. Are you now going to vote against it? A Pittsburg dispatch says that the American Tin Plate Company will have in operation this week 20 of its tin-plate plants out of 35, giving employment to at least 25,000 workmen. The tin-plate company employs in all over 50,000 workmen and within a few weeks, it is said, every plant in the country will be working. The New York Police Commis sion has peremptorily refused, to even discipline the officers who clubbed the negroes during the race riots in that city. Yet these democratic gentlemen are much in terested in the cause of Aguinaldo. The country responded liberally to the call for Galveston's relief. Political and sectional lines are not permitted to stand in the way of national unity. It doesn't require a vast amount of strain on the mental organs to recall the fact that the democrats in congress voted to continue im perialism in Hawaii. Mr. Bryan dodges questions con cerning political liberty in North Carolina with the same dexterity that he evades his piedictions of 1896. MA ltltIKl. MASSKY I'OWKLL At the reiddenre of I). (!.
