First Recital of Choral Union a Suc

at the Christian Church oa Tues
day night with a cboruB of 22
people out of the 4o members of
the chorus. The principal piece ot
j the evening
was the cantata the
"Prince of Peace" in which there
were numerous boIob, duets, etc,
Tho tenor and soprano duet by

time pipe organist of much ex
perience, rendered a voluntary
upon the new organ, bring out as
never before brought out, the ca
pauiiHies 01 ine organ, liis as
sistance was a delight to all, and as
a result of his playin? an effort
will be made to have the regular
organist become acquainted with
the pedal keyboard, and to have
further instruction upon such work
The entire song service was greatly
enjoyed and the choral has much
occasion for being proud of what it
lias accomplished. With the num
bers that might attend the chorns
much better work could bo done,
but so many are lax in their atten
dance upon practice that it makes
it hard for the instructors and the
chorus. It is a good opportunity
for all singers in the town and
should be made the most of.

the Union Watch Night services at

composed of younger boys got in
some good work at Eugene last
rriday night as is attested by the
following note from tho Rwgister.
Lugene has a boy's club that
bears the high-sounding title of Cy
clops club. The boys of Cottage
Grove have no other name than that
of their town, but they can play
basketball. They put up first-class
article at the armory pavillion last
night. The first half the Cyclops
got their wind and favor of Cottage
Grove. In the last half the Cyclops
got their mind and gave their
smaller opponents the worst of it.
The final score was Cyclops, 28;
Cottage Grove I7. Both clubs put
up a good game of ball but the boys
of the Grove altho smaller, seemed
to be able to hit the basket more
accurately.

In reply to a uery from Game
and Forestry Warden Baker, an op
inion has been rendered by Attor
ney-General Crawford, in which he
holds that the game warden has no
authority to pay any portion of the
money collected iu lines from viola
tors of the game laws to persons
furnishing the necessary informa
tion to convict, but that all of the
money must go into the general
fund iu the state trrasury. Game
Warden Baker thought there Would
be less liability of violation of the
game laws if half of the fines col
lected be paid to informants, but
the attorney-general says no part of
it can be used as blood money.
YEAR
Christmas Time Cele
brated in Great
Style.
Christmas day was celebrated in
royal manner in Cottage Grove.
The stores were open until ten
o'clock and big crowds were on the
streets in spite of the heavy raio.
Every train was met by a huge del
egation to welcome friends and to
see the sights. The merchants all
state that their sales were unusu
ally large and that they all have
reason to be thankful for their bus
iness of the year.
The churches all had Christmas
trees for their Sunday School
scholars Monday uieht. and fine
programs were prepared.
At the Methodist Church a
Christmas cantata entitled "Christ
mas Fairies" was given by a large
number of the young folks and lit
tle tots of the Sunday School, and
was well rendered, and too much
praise cannot be given to the in
structors for their work in prepar
ing it. The church was finely dec
orated with two large trees on
either side of the pulpit, hung full
with things for everybody. Santa
Claus in this instance had a fine
tenor voice, a thin? he is not usu
ally credited with possessing, and
enlivened the occasion with an ex
cellent solo.
Eugene Wins.
The basket ball team ol Co. C of
Eugene and the older team of Cot
tage Grove boys met in battle
Christmas night in the Opera
House. The Eugene team had
something of a walkover winning
Dya score or 2x to o, which is
largely accounted for by the fact
that the Cottage Grove team had
little or no practice, while the other
Uam is in regular trim, despite the
difference in the teams, the came
was interesting for the onlookers.
