BOHEMIA NUGGET. C. J. HOWARD - EDITOR, Kntercd nt the postonice nt Ctmg Unrti, Uregoit Second Clwc mll malter. Hitltrltlmi price, St. AO, In a.ivmirr. Advertising rnlon mm', known upon application. Friday, May 24, 1901. It is not always a good sign when as tunny business changes take place in a town ns has take place in Cottage Grove within the last three weeks; but when tlic changes are governed by such facts as those attendant upon the changes in Cottage Grove it speaks m th highest comnlinicutary terms of o - 1 the business possibilities of this city. For instance: R. V. Few land of the firm of Garman & New- land sold his interest to James Hemenway; Mr. Ncwland itnme diately purchased the E. Wall & Whipple stock of furnishing goods the old firm wishing to pertna ncntly retire. M r. Hemenway who successfully succeeds Mr. Newland is an old resident having been closely identifiel with the business interests of the town for twelve vears. and no one has reasot? to dotibt his business Judgment. He still has faith in the business possi bilities of Cottage Grove. U. S. Martin of the firm of Cochran & Martin has sold to his partner an other case of the parties having faith in Cottage Grove. Wheeler & Scott have sold their hardware business to Messrs. S. R. Piper and C. H. Vandenburg, two of the best and most experienced- hardware men in this city, who have been engaged in the business to the date dfjtheir purchasfef'.which is argu ment that they know the trade and are not afraid to venture in busi ness "'in Cottage Grove, while Messrs. Wheeler and Scott retiring only to avail themselyes of oppor tunities 10 uecome inuie atuvc m mining circles in Bohemia. What better recommendation could the town ask than that of her business men selling and buying again. It is always a pleasure to pre pare entertainment for children; but sometimes, in our efforts to please, we place the lives of our boys and girls, a'nd not infrequently our own, in jeopardy. In the matter of holding school entertain ments in the evening in public lialls, there is much comment pro and con. Children as a rule, are restless and oftinies, accidents with lamps and fire occur that might, in a single moment bow the heads of every parent in this city with grief and sorrow, As illustration, at tention is called to the horrible holocaust at Silver Lake some few 3'ears ago, when every heart, ypung and old vibrated with overflowing happiness. The public hall of this city, like many others, is an.unsafe place to hold such entertainments'; and when we crowd the young lives of this city into it we assume a responsibility the magnitude of which few of us, in our desire to flash a little ray of sunshine upon the happiness of youth, realize; and we know not what moment we may be called upon to witness the charred body of our little ones raked from the burning embers. The proprietor of the Cottage Grove opera house would not be wholly to blame in the event of one of these heart-rendering catas trophies the blame would fall di rectly upon the management of the entertainment, and indirectly upon the parents for allowing children to .visit such places of entertainment. The proprietor of the opera house has never been able to do sufficient busi ness to justify the outlay incident to the building of a better and safer house, and it is only human natup that he should endeavor to do' as much business as possible in the hoUse at his command; but there are a few improvements that could be made with very little expense, that would be appreciated by the public and at" once lesson the danger of exit in the event of fire. For in stance: A substantial and broad, set of steps should be- made at the Stage door, the door swinging, out ward; if possible, a door should be cut through, .011 the side, through which exit could be made that door swinging outward; then swing the double doors in front, outward, in a substantial manner, and keep a light burning in front during the hours of entertainment, so that, in the event of n stampede, men, women nud the little hearts who succeed in escaping the burning tongues of flame shall not break their necks and lruibs on the irreg ular walks in front. A few im provements of this nnture should be done, else the house should be condemned by the city authorities. In another column of the Nugget is to'be found a letter from C. H. Markhnin, of the Southern Pacific Co., relative to the creamery busi ncss and suggesting the manner which, in his estimation, should be adopted to procure the necessary information required to solicit the attention of some wide awake creamery man, and eventually get creamery established here. It has long since been determined that the business is a profitable one to both farmer and operator, and the longer Cottage ('trove people put it off the longer will they keep themselves out of much ready money which is realized from the creamery business each month, ac cruing in amounts and at intervals sufficiently close to .furnish , the household expenses.1 The condi tion of the creamery business throughout the state is most prom ising, and why the people of this section should be contented to get along wifhout. one is a question not asily auswered. v, THE CREAMERY An Interesting Letter Front C.

On motion the meeting adjourned to meet again on Tuesday evening May 28 at 8:30 p m in city hall, The following letter written by Mr. C. II. Markham of the South ern Pacific Co., in response to an article in Inst week's Nugget and a personal letter to Mr. Markham ham as to how best to get the far tners and stock owners interested in a creamery business, is self ex planatory, and shows conclusively what that gentleman thinks of the business: Editor Bohemia Nugget4 Dear Sir: I nni in receipt of your favor ot tlic 1SU1 lust, aud find it very interesting reading. One ot the lirst things that I tuink ought to be done 111 your lo cality is to determine the exact number of cows within n radius, say 7 miles of a common center, the owners ot which will agree to luniish milk to a creamery. In addition to this it would also be ad visable to know just exactly how many cows there arc altogether. We very often have people looking for locations for creameries calling 011 us, and the information sug gested together with that conveyed in your letter, would very fre quently be of value and would de termine selection of one looking for a location. We have a lecturer in the field, Mr. C. L. Smith, of Minnesota, nud would be glad to have him arrange to visit Cottage Grove if your people ate interested enough to arrange for a meeting there. There h no question but that the farmers ate taking kindly to the creamery movement. It is more to their in terest than any other class; as a matter of fact the farmer who con tinues to confine his efforts exclu sively to wheat growing is, as a rule, poorer and poorer every year; on tlie other haiirJ, wherever you find a farmer who is keeping cows and paying-attention to his business. you find a man who is getting ahead every year. Yours truly, . C, II. Markham. TAN BARK WANTED. The second annual inter-state debate between the Universities of Oregon and Washington held in Eugene last Friday evening re sulted in a, victory for the Oregon boys. The question debated on was: "Resolved, Thatthe perma nent retention of the Philippine Islands by the United States is de sirable." The U of O' had the affirmative and U of W negative. M. Volk, general roadmaster on the S P lines in Oregon, met a terrible death last Thursday, two miles east of Upton, Calif. Mr. Volk was inspecting the "track and was riding a gasoline velocipede. On rounding a curve he was struck by a work train, throwing him from the veiocipede in such a position that the wheels of the engine cpm pletely severed his head from his body. Deceased resides in Portland and. had. been in the emplay- ,of the S P Co for 20 years. NOTICE. We have sold out and all accounts must be settjed at once by cash or note.
