Memorial Sunday services were j fittingly observed by the Comrades of Appomattnx Post, the Indies ol the Women's Relief Corps and many of the citizens of Cottage ' Grove. Through the kindness of the Methodist people their spacious church was occupied upon this 00 1 casion. 1 The Pastor and members of thei Christian Church very considerately omitted their morning services and repaired to the M. K. Church. At a little before eleven o'clock the Comrades of the Grand Army and the Women s Relief Corps, marched to the Church where they took seats in the front row, es- , . r .

At the request of his comrades, Rev. W. J. Gardner, who saw much hard service during the war, and who has been a Methodist minister for many years, deluded the Memorial sermon, which w.is re plete with interesting reminiscences of the terrible struggle that oc curred so many years ago. Yet is so well remembered by those who participated. The sermon throughout was one well suited to the occasion and ot great interest to the old soldiers as if came from one who has long been a comrade among them and whose Staple k Fancy Groceries W. W. View of Buildings social Qualities and exemplary life has endeared him to all. His vivid descriptions ol war incidents; his fervent words of commendation of many of those who fought for the Union and their subsequent services to thecountry. together with his earnest appeal to the veterans to be as good men now as they were soldiers then, appealed strongly to his comrades.

The First National Hank of Cot tage Grove opened its doors on June 1st in its new quarters in the Hank building on Main and Fourth Streets. The corner room of this fine building had been specially ar ranged for the bank, a well built and commodious vault having been put in when the building was erreclcd last season. In 1890 Darwin Iliistow and Herbert Kakiti started a private bank which was continued until 1900, when tliey with other citizens organized the First National .'auk ol Cottage Grove. Until the first ol this month it has remained on the West Side. The capitalization is 25,000 which with the present profits and surplus makes $31,000. As the stock holders are liable in double the amount of capitalization which added to the surplus equals.$56.ooo shows the real strength of the Hank. The new place of business has been fitted up in first class bank style. New quarter sawed oak counters and shelves, grillwork railings with glass panels, with the usual wickets or windows for the cashier, paying, receiving tellers and book-keeper. The president's room is in the front and it, as well ns other departments of thi bank, will be supplied with suitable furniture. The bank is an ornament to any city and will compare favorably with those of much greater preten sions. The present officers are: Herbert Kakin, president; and T. C Wheeler, cashier. The officers state that the busi ness of the bank has proven satis lactory to all interested, having made a steady mid constant growth Irom its inception; that they highly appreciated the patronage of the people of Cottage Grove and the surrounding country in the past and hope to merit their confindence in future and will be pleased to meet all their old patrons, ns well as new ones, in the bank's new quarters. HAD NOT 100 PER CENT. I More Errors Than Correct Decision. ' The democratic pipers of this judicial district are making a big j effort to deceive the people into be lieving that Judge Hamilton has a 1 record of too per cent in affirmed cases belore the Supreme Court. As a matter of fact of the twenty-six , cases appealed from his decision only twelve have been affirmed. In the remaining fourteen his judge ments were found wrong. This is not a record to be proud of and don't argue very strongly for his re-election. The reports of the Supreme Court show for themselves that he has made more errors than correct decisions iu appealed cases. He did get 100 per cent on volume 39 of the reports but that volume hod only one cose from his court. This statement has been perverted and presented to the people with the manifest intention to deceive. I.ook up the reports for yourself. MUSICAL RECITAL. The Musical Uccltal Riven by Mrs. W.

The new tunnel, I is seven feet high by four feet aud six inches wide, and it is the inten tion of the company to equip the tunnel with car and track and con tinue the development work during the season. OREGON SECURITIES CO. Word was received this weefc- from Supt. Mathews of the Oregon Securties Company, that every part of the work so far started this season is progressing finely. The big tunnel is being driven rapidly ahead with three shifts on the machine drills, the electric power plant is doing splendid service, the bents for the tramway between the mine and mill are nearly all in place and the tram will soon be ready for use. Snow while deep in some places is fast disappearing, and out side work of all kinds will soon begin. AT THE CRYSTAL CONSOLIDATED. Mr Hart, foreman of the Crystal Consolidated Mining Co telephoned down from the mines this week that his men were making good progress with the work, that the face of the drilt iu No. 1 and 3 tunnel showed a large amount of ore, and that in a few days the snow would be gone when they would commence the moving of the boiler and engine to the stamp mill when active work would com- mence crushing the large amount of ore they have in sight for milling purposes.

We are agreeably surprised to find the ore so thoroughly oxidized such a distance into the mountain. It gives us a much greater amount of tree milling ore than we anticipated. , It is the intention when we have anven a nine luriner aueaa, to start crosscuts on each side of the 1 tunnel for the nurnoseoloneninc to r . 7 ' , r. . 1 e ve,ns wnicu are Known 10 parai- lei at no great distance away, the iveiu we are now following.

Concern ing the mining interest in Portland, Mr. Hard said: I am well pleased with the way the business men and people of Portland are taking hold of mining matters, they are taking up the affairs of the American Min ing Congress to be held there in August, with a great deal of energy and with the determination of mak ing it one of the most successful ever held any where. The recent visit of Judge Richaids, President of the Congress, and his statements relative to the untold advancements in all brancees of business, and es pecially iu mining which were made in the State of Idaho, following the holding of the Congress in Boise City two years ago, has caused re newed energy and enthusiasm among the business men. Secretary Irwin Mauon who had devoted many years to this work is flooding the mails with literature; has also addressed at least a thousand per sonal letters to prominent men throughout the United States, call ing attention to the coming Con gress and the resources and attrac tions of Oregon, and proving be understands the methods of attract ing Capital, especially toward min ing, and there is no doubt but the holding of the American Mining Congress this year, followed in 1905 bi.
