WliDNKSUAY, At GI ST 29, 1 906 CITIZKXS WANT FRAXCHISK GKANTKI) The -itic'i s ol Cottle Grove S''ein 10 feel Unit the Willnuiette 'al!ey Co. is utitl d to a franchise, eena thirty-year franchise, and tbat however, under suitable n stricliui. Severil ordinances have been prepared, and month have been wasted ' over the matter and nothiug done. Any large corpor ation expects to h ve a right to do business, the same us any small cor poration or firm, and that is right, i'he Willamette Valley Co. have iu- v' ted more mouey here within the last few' mouths, than any other hi'igle comnanv or person. True they are nuking mouey off the light they furnish the citizens; the merchant is uaking money off the groceries be tells, but the Vil umette Co. is paying out wagesto H8 men, fuel, and a thousand other xpenses all the lime, the same as the merchant. The company does not expect to get a franchise that will throttle similar industries, it simply wants the right to act as servants f the public, and it should be grantedtbat right. Cottage Grove and uo other place ver grew or became any place without such corporations, and they must have rights to do business. We waut to see Cottage Grove grow, an I become not only the town of Lane county, but to staid at one end of the W'llamette valley, ; 8 Portland does at the other, and that will never be if corporations are not granted a welcome to the town, and that under fair fran chises. Within a short time the system of a tax ou gross earning will pay i.ito the city treasury far more in ihe way of income, and that com mensurate with the cities growth, than anything thut could be planned now, und more equitably. Let the council cousider the pre ent franchis", and if it is suitable on noth sides grant it, uud bid the Willamette Co a royal welcome to do business here. The citizens j.i;l that it is right and will look to the council to carry out their wants. Dairyiug exhibits will be made i prominent fenttne of the State Fair, For, the first time it may be possible that Cottage Grove will be 1 'presented. Dairyiug here is coming to the front fast. More ;ream is being brought to the creamery every jiunth, md the Jarmors are im roving tlmr stock, md giving that end of their farm ing more attention. The Oregon State Fair will -o n 1j9 on. Those who have attended uavo found it a wonderful educa lor, so to speak, when they have gone to the Fair seeking light. The Fair is uttended by cruwd. and people from the farms' go to the Oregon hUate Fair in large numbers. It wouM, however be interesting to know what propor tion of the farmeis have.never been to tbe State Fair. The statement, would doubtless be safu which claims that one-half the farmers in each state have never been to a State Fair. Th'ey lo-e much by not going, as Stute Fairs are in a sense indications of Uie pulse of progress. Tbe muu who never goes to tbem is in danger of being iiuable to keep step in the forward movement af agriculture. Is it not theboundeu duty, therefore, of tho farmer, who has a neighbor who never went to a State Fair, to try to persuade him to go, if not . only for once? In very many seuses the words "come and nee" may be significant, mUMBTTB I 1 TI n. tk ?v vy - w -, w w vk 'A n n n f 4 J i 4 .-I i j 4 :i 4 i 4 i ' .t SALEM. OREGON.

A committee was appoiuted to attend the Oregon Development League at Salem during the Fair. Oliver Veatch was appointed assist ant secretary of the Club. The advertising committee was asked to look up the cost of adver tising in the Pacific Mouthly, as the club might think it best to ad vertise Cottage Grove.
