MKAN TRICK. A mean trick wn perpetrated tipoit O. II. Stone lant Thursday evening. Mr. Stone hn contracted with the Light Company to fur- ulsh water power. Since the new wheel has been in operation every tiling han gone smoothly and the lights furnished have hccii highly spoken of lor stcadiuebflniid bright ucss. Last Thitrrtday night Kotnc party or parlies, prcniimahly some one having spite aguinst Mr. Stone went to the dam and shut down the gales, and then threw the iron bar used to raise the gates away. Of course this resulted in the shutting off of the lights. Mr. Stone was notified and as soon as possible adjusted the power and the lights were turned on again af ter a half hour of darkness. It might have been some satisfaction to the person who did the act, but It was n great inconvenience to many citizens as well as to Mr. Stone. JIACK YARDS AND AI.I.KVS. The back yards and alleys of not only bttsines houses and hotels but of residences are in o poorly kept condition In Cottage Grove said to be the worst known in this city. In many instances slops and debris of all kinds ate thrown out to lay and rot, creating foul smell and disease, while the alleys are full of old lumber, wood and all kinds of trash. The city is without a sewerage system and the present financial affairs of the town do not point to the early establishment of one. However, an ordinance could nud should lw passed compelling property owners to keep the alleys clear, and to establish garbage boxes or barrels which should be hauled off and emptied at stated in tervals. Why not do it? A sys tem of this kind would add much to the appearance of the town, and be a sure promoter of good health. KItVDINO ROOM nitNJH'IT. The benefit given at Martin's Hall for the reading room was at tended by a large audience last Saturday night, and a good pro gram, consisting of instrumental and vocal music, readings nud pantoraiues, was rendered. Much credit U due Mcsdaiues Aubrey nud Scott for their untiring energy in perfecting plans for the enter tainment ami lite successlul man ner in which it was carried out. Something like $25 was cleared for the reading room which wilt be used to free the institution from debt, and place it on a fair financial basis. It is a worthy cause and the public showed its appreciation through the liberal patronage be stowed. MASS MKUTING."- A mass meeting will be held at the Masonic hall in this city Mon day evening, March 25th, 1901, for the purpose of discussing the propo sition of refunding the present bond system, and to issue $5,000.00 more in bonds for the purpose of extend ing and improving the city water system. The meeting will also make selections of officers to be voted for at the coming city election. All who are interested in city affairs are requested to be present and take part in the discussion. BALL GAM It.' Last Sunday the Bohemia andC. M. A. ball teams, played a match in this city. The Bohemia team is the old team of last year, who played the Lorane boys, and the C. M. A. is a school team composed of mem bers under seventeen years of age. The score stood 7 to 17 in favor of the C. M. A's. It is said that an other game is being arrauged. MOVJtD TO TOWN. C. M.

Commencing with March 21st the government mail service from this city to Harris will be changed to a thrice a week service. Notifi cation to that effect having been received this week by Mr. J. J. Lane the present contractor, SOCIAL ItVKNT, On lant Friday evening, after Ho hcinln Camp No. 260 Woodmen of the World had closed, the uiumburH of the Ladies Citclc crime filing in with well filled baskets ofdninty luncheon and delicious coffee. The occasion of their presence wa in the nature of n surprise and fare well to C. II. Vnudenburgaud wife who nrc soon to remove to Eugene Mr. Harry Wynne having bought out the interest of Mr. Griffin of Eugene in the hardware nud iniplc incut business of Griffin & Vcatcl in this city. Mr. Vandcuburg will resume bis former position with Mr, Griffin in the same business at En- geuc. Upon the entrance of the ladies into the hull, Council Com maudcr Goodman called the assem blage to order and announced its object. Mr. Vandcuburg arose to express his thanks and appreciation of the honor bestowed, and his re grets at having to leave his friends, but was overcome by emotion and sat down. It was n moment of great intensity, and mnny present became likewise affected, when At torney IJby arose and in a lew well chosen words voiced the sentiment not only of nil preseut but of every man, woman and child in the community," by expressing rcgrtts at the loss of such valued members ol the society of this place, assured them that they take with them to their new home, the esteem and best wishes of all, especially thank ing Mr. Vandcuburg for his past efficient services in lodge matters, and then, in a happy vein, gradu ally changed the assemblage from seriousness to mjrth. Luncheon was then announced to which all did justice, after which several hours were spent in old-time games, when nil repaired to their homes, pronouncing it "a nappy evening well spent. TiiouoiiT thuv cour.n run. The invincible Geo. Hohhnnn, the popular tailor, likewise ladies' man, has now developed into a full- fledged foot racer. Last Sunday, accompanied by his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Weber and Miss Shock of Oakland, California, who is visiting Mrs. Bohlmau, a visit wns paid to the home of Mr. Rudolph, south and went of town. On the way out Mrs. Weber and Miss Shock- took a notion they were fleet of foot, and bantered the charming George for a foit race up hill. George accepted and the race was on. The ladies wcrn't in it how ever, and George won by several lengths. Now when a woman gets an idea into her head that she can do a certain thing she isn't satisfied until she succeeds or fails. When they were fairly beaten in a race up hill, and Bohlmau was clad in not only clothes but victorious smiles, they proposed a race down hill. Again the race was on, Bohlmau starting with a handicap of about eight rods. The appearance of those women as they cantered down hill reminded one of Kansas people hunting a cyclone cellar. Hair pins, switches, false teeth and bustles were galore in the air, and those who witnessed the tryout said it beat an old fashioned "boss race" any time. Again Bohlman breasted the string and was de clared the winner. BIRTHDAY PARTY. Row River had quite a pleasant social gathering on Sunday the 17th day of March; but it was not for the purpose of celebrating St Pat ricks day in the morning, but Mrs. Miles Pitcher's birthday in the evening. Relatives and friends to the number of 28 surprised Mrs. Pitcher very much, when they made their appearance at her home from 5 to 6 o'clock in the evening well supplied with baskets filled with pies and cakes. The house was pretty well filled with a jovial and good natured crowd who wished the surprised Mrs. Pitcher muny happy returns of her birthday anniversary. Supper at 7 and late lunch at 10 o'clock was very much enjojed, so much so that sleep was courted with small suc cess by those that got home in time to blow out the electric light before sun up on Monday morning.
