P.OIIIIHUH I'MtNTIl'UI,
Most every tiny tlic wires arc
burdened with tiden of robberies up
uud down the line on both Hides 01'
Cottage Grove, but so fur, through
the vigilance of the Mtusliiil, noth
ing serious him happened lieie, ill
though uiut'li of this floating tough
clement pusses through town and
quite n few of them tiirry for a day
or two nt a time within the hospit
able limits of our Utile city. On
Saturday night lust n room iu the
McClcllnn House nt Koseburg wns
robbed, u blacksmith shop at
Oakland wns despoiled of tools mid
and u lot of steel drills, and a store
in Drain was eutertercd and n
watch, many knives and razors and
two pistols tnkeu. It behooves
the people of this town to keep a
watchful eye on the trnmp that is
constantly coining and going.

At a meeting of the board of di
rectors of the Hiawatha Mining
and Milling Company, held nt the
company's headquarters Tuesday
afternoon, it wns voted that the
two-cent stock now on the market
le taken off next Tuesday and that
the stock be placed at five cents.
This move is said to be based upon
some very flattering returns from
nssayrt made this week. The week
intervening was decided upon to
allow those handling the stock to
close up nny deals under way. The
Hiawatha Company has a property
highly spoken of by every one who
tins nny knowledge of the claims,
and is said to be n dividend payer
the moment adequate machinery is
iu oeratioii.

Of late it has become quite n fad
ninong the young folks of town on
Sundays, when the weather is fine,
to board the southbound overland
ns it passes through iu the after
noon and journey to the classic
precints of Latham, a mile and a
half below, nnd then walk buck.
They derive a vast amount of
pleasure and fun fiom this new
found fad. Last Sunday between
thirty and forty made the round
tripand they all had a real jolly
good time. Love's young dream
is decidedly full of scheme and
this latest novelty gives them all
a good chance to make goo-goo
eyes and enjoy the healthy exercise.

To IndVci; Immiokation

Fred Gale of the West Side har

mounted horns of all sizes, which
he puts up nnd has for sale at

The voters of Lane county
should remember that unless they
register they cannot vote at the
coming election. Do not put it
off. When you come to town
Saturday, hunt up n notary public
nnd register. It costs you nothing
nnd only requires a moment of
your time. It is a duty you owe
to yourself and the common-wealth.

In thu little curtained office of the
Miners' Kxehangc there is now or
namenting its wall a goodly num
ber of pen pictures drawn by that
versatile artist A. 1). Whiltier
which are well worth a study, they
being both unique and true to life,
the subjects having been caught
while unconscious of the designs of
the artist. These pictures arc not of
bad men; on the contrary some of
our most worthy citizens have been
sketched while in the act of expa
tiating 011 their most cherished
schemes or walking or sitting iu
their favorite altitude. These
sketches are so true to life that an
one acquainted with the animated
subjects will immediately recognize
them. There arc many choice sub
jects, but the one which proclaims
the arlist's skill most vividly is one
wherein "Hover" is taking an early
morning walk with his master
"down the line." Those who
know a good thing when they see it
should not fail to have a look at this
group of pen pictures.
LOCAL EDUCATIONAL MEET
