It would be a good idea to scrape
the mud from Main street.
Tlic indications arc good now for
Cottage Grove to lit a city of 5,000
inhabitants by Januarv I, 1906.
Cut this out and paste it in your
watch.
If we can net n new charter that
provides for sewerage, restriction of
cur dogs on the streets, and for the
installation of n rock pile for
the benefit of drunks, the extra ses
sion of the Legislature will not
have been in vain.
Some weeks ago the City Council
ordered the street committee to
scrape the mud from Main street
How nbout it? There is not a mud
dicr street in Oregon: and there is
no reasonable excuse for it.
If Bohemia makes as rapid strides
in the uext two years as she has
this year, the summer of '05 will
see 2,000 miners in the district, a
number of fine properties paying
dividends, and many more rapidly
developing into dividend-payers.
The Nugget does not have to
defend its actions toward Bohemia
in scarehead articles. A perusal of
its files from the first issue. Jan
uary 20, 1899, to the last issue, will
convince anyone that the paper has
been run in the interest of the dis
trict.
I'lia matter o special session of
it? Oregon Legislature is cetta'nly
. .. to Governor Chamberlain. If a
,ecial session is needed 10 ad
.nice the interests of the scvctal
eetions of the state in the matter of
uxallon, the responsibility of the
ioii rests entirely with the gov
ernor. He should not attempt to
hlrk his duty nor to throw part or
ill of said responsibility upon (lie
lumbers of the legislature. It is a
duty directly within his own pto
vnicc and he should meet the duty
like the statesman that our demo
cratic brothers would have us be
lieve be is. It is no affair of the
"lawmakers". They have troubles
of their own. It is enough for litem
to puss upon obtti!eaiid meaningless
laws, without being forced into
more conspicuotisness by passing
upon the vexatious special session
question. It is up to our own
George.

We have a cow ordinance, a
chicken ordinance, etc., but as yet
the good citizens of Cottage Grove
are powerless in the matter of keep
ing cur dogs off the streets. In
talking this matter over the other
day, a citizen, and, by the way, a
dog fancier that is, a fancier of a
good dog made the remark: "It
should be a penitentiary offense for
a man to own more than one dog,
and it should be a crime liable to
capital punishment for a man to
own three or m ire." This worthy
citizen might have been a little too
severe, but there is some logic in it
after all.
According to the statements of
officials of other roads, the South
ern Pacific is damaging the com
mercial interests of Oregon to an
alarming extent by its refusal to
increase its hauling capacity by the
use of cars of other companies. It
is alleged that this refusal is the re
sult of a wrangle and an attempt on
the part of the Southern Pacific to
control in its entirety the business
of the Willamette Valley. The
Southern Pacific is uot to be blamed
for looking out for its own inter
ests, but it should have sufficient
interest in the development of this
great State to take care of all the
business. If it cannot handle the
business on its own account, it
should be broad enough to accept
the assistance tendered by other
comoanies. A board of railroad
commissioners should be estab
lished, the members of which
should be of the right kind of ma
terial to compel the Southern Pacific
to protect the commercial interests
of the State.
It now appears that the Governor
has no intention of calling a special
session of the Legislature unless the
members of the body, or at least a
majority of them, will make the re
quest in writing, agreeing at the
same time not to enact measures
other than those bearing upon the
tax proposition. While a method
of this kind would, no doubt,
tend to . expedite matters, it
would appear that the Gov
ernor is a trifle too severe. There
are several things that could be
brought up that would take up
comparativ.ly little time, that, were
they handled by the Legislature,
would be of great benefit to the
several communities. For instance,
in the matter of a new charter for
Cottage Grove. The sole object is
to introduce sections that have been
omitted in the one under which the
city is now doing business, that are
of vitaUnterest to the community
at large. With us we are without
sewerage a very necessary thing
and if we cannot get before the spe
cial session, the city is obliged to
let the matter go until the next
Legislature. It is n matter that is
deserving of attention, and it would
be a matter of grievous delay if a
special session should be called and
M . , X 1J
matters ot sucu importance cumu
not be taken up. Why not limit
the session to a certain number of
days, the primary measure to be the
tax law. the balance of the time to
be plven to measures that are of
general importance. Either limit
the time or specify what legislative
measures may be taken up.
There is one notable improve
ment in the affairs cf Bohemia dis
trict, among the many that bate
leeu realized tn the last year, that
is worthy of comment, and that is
the teeling between the property-
owners of tue district. Up to a
couple of years ago there was, ap
parently, as is nearly always the
case, a spirit of jealousy. Today
that spirit seems to be well under
cover. Only once in a great while
does it crop out, and then only in a
small way and from an almost ob
scure sou ice. There is no reason
for suclin spirit in a mining camp,
and especially in Bohemia, where
nearly every location presents a
showing worthy of the most tech
nical consideration. Again, it
profits no one. If you have a good
property it will become known tov
the people to whom you look for
ward to with the view of securing
their assistauce in its own good
time. If your people get to the
camp and bump up against some
other mine owner, it is the poorest
kind of policy on his part to run
down your property with the hope
of interesting them in his own, or
by reason of the fact that he may
have some personal grievance
against you. In the majority of
cases he does uot succsed in keep
ing the people from examining
your property, and if upon the ex
amination, they find that the "fill"
is not substantiated bv the facts as
they see them, then the "bawler"
has fallen a great measure in their
estimation, and therefore his prop
erty, "which he has taken consider
able pains to build up in their eyes,
takes a tumble with him. The re
action never helps the camp, and is
sure to be dead ngaiust the man
that is running down the "other
feller's" property. We should al
ways work for the general interest
of the camp, and miners above all
other classes should be above spite
work. It we can't say anvthing
good of a man's holdings, let us
uot be actuated to say something
bad about it because we have had
differences witii the owner person
ally, or because we would like to
land his people.
