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

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.
