The tunnel has been driven

when the cylinder rotates so as to

Those high in authority in man
agement of the Southern Pacific
railroad will fully understand after
last night's meeting at thcCommer.
rial Club, that the producers and
shipers of the Willamette valley
arc determined on a united struggle
to remedy the freight rate condi
tions that have paralyzed not only
the lumber industry, but also af
fected other lines of business.
Last evening at the club fully
200 representative business men and
citizens of Kugene and Lane county
met in pursuance of call to discuss
from all points of view the ques
tions now confronting the people.
Promptly a 8 o'clock the meetiue
was called to order by H. W.
Thompson, president, R. S. Ilryson
serving as secretary. The object of
the meeting wasstated by the chair,
the resolutions adopted by the Ore
gon Co-operative Association No. 1
at Cottage Grove being read.
On motion a committee was ap
pointed on transportation, consist
ing of Hon. K. A. Booth, P. E.
Dunn and II. Gordon.
Mayor K. M. Veatch, I. II. Bing
ham and Dr. Lawbaugh were pres-
cut from Cottage Grove. Mayor
Veatch was the first speaker of the
evening, and presented in vigorous
manner the situation existing at
Cottage Grove, which led up to the
movement inaugurated there and
which bids fair to spread to all
parts of the valley and over the
state. After showing how the pres
ent freight rates on lumber and
other shipments is a discrimination
against this part of the valley, Mr.
Veatch said the company had been
asked to remedy the conditions,
but had not done so, and it was
time to do something. He declared
that nothing short of legislation can
accomplirh what the people demand
in this respect.
At this juncture Senator Booth
was called for, but asked that the
business men express themselves
first, so that he might see how they
were affected by prevailing con
ditions. Then followed addresses by Hon.
S H Friendly , II Gordon, Geo T
Hall, Sr, G W Griffin, Hon J M
Shelley, Hon A C Woodcock, l)r
Lawbaugh of Cottage Grove, I? C
Smith, B LBogatt, P. L. Chambers,
S. Klovdahl and others.
The hardware and furniture mer
chants especially dwelt on the long
haul from the Kast to Portland as
compared with the short haul from
Portland to Kugene and Cottage
Grove, showing that in some in
stances freight hauled 3000 miles
cost, say on wagons, $1.25 per 100
from Chicago to Portland, 3000
miles, and from Portland to Ku
gene, 31 cents per 100 for 123
miles.
A C Woodcock declared the
movement as inaugurated to be a
good thing. He said we must have
railroads to develop the country,
the railroads must have rights, but
so must the people. He said rail
road can take right of way through
a man's land, the law gives them
that right; but it also gives the
people the right to coutrol the rail
roads by legislation. If, by humble
petition, they refuse to do what is
right we should do by legislation,
what we can not do by petition.
Mr. Woodcock said that not only
the lumber industry suffered by the
high rates, but the producers like-

Senator Hooth was next called
for and said this was tlu occasion
for a family talk. We don't want
to look at it in the light that only
the lumbermen are to be benefitted
by better freight rates, but that
such would benefit other lines of
business.

timber and cost of production. I
am surprised that the prevailing
conditions can not be remedied.
Oregon is to great to be held down
by any railroad company. Rail
road legislation is the last resort,
but if we have to use it let us use it
vigorously. He said it makes no
difference who cuts the lumber
when only local business is to be
supplied, but it does make a differ
ence when we are to ship it away
and bring back the other fellow's
money to distribute by the millions
of dollars to pay the men who have
the lumber, cuts the logs and helps
produce the lumber. I

CITY ELECTION
Spirited Contest over the Elec.
tion of Mayor Medley Wins
by 31 Votes.
HEAVY VOTE POLLED
The election on Monday for city
officers for the ensuing term was
one of the liveliest contests
ever held in Cottage Grove. The
strife was confined principally to
the candidates for mayor. Both of
whom were well known, having
lived in this community for many
years. There was nothing ol a po
political nature entering into the
contest as each candidate is a pro
nounced democrat.
All elements in tho city were
considerably divided but the church
and temperance people as a rule
favored the election of Medley,
while 'the partisans of each side
were ery much in earnest and
worked faithfully. No trouble oc-
cured. The result of the vote is
given in the proceedings of the
Council which met Monday night
and canvassed the returns.
Monday night the City Council
met in regular session Mayor
Veatch presiding, minutes of pre
vious meeting read and approved.
An official canvass of the vote
for city officials was had and
showed the following results:

Adjourned meeting called to order
by Mayor Medley. The report of
Recorder Young of receipts and
disbursements for the closing mu
nicipal term was read and referred
to Finance Committee. The bond
of F. D. Wheeler, recorder, was
read and approved. Councilman
Hinds took oath of office and F D
Wheeler assumed bis duties as re
corder. The mayor addressed the Coun
cil in a short speech. He stated
they were all expected to look after
the best interests of the city. That
he from time to time would very
likely make suggestions to the
Council, at the same time he de
sired each councilman to study
these matters and then act as his
judgment dictated regardless of his
opinions. Was desirous of having
harmony among us, and hoped and
believed nil would work together
for the best interests of the city.
Applications from lid Under
