The alleys idiould also cuinu in lor a goon share of improvement and the slogan "better .streets'' ought to he the watchword of every wide-awake man or woman in Cottage Grove until the inquovcmeiits needed are made. Some wide-a-wake towns bare :raulcd their councilnien the power to improve, what streets they see lit, without getting I'"? consent of the property owner. The prop city owners along the proposed improvement however, can protest nnd in that cane provision is made for gradual payments extending over 11 certain period ot year, which lightens the burden, the property standing as security for its .share of the cost of improvement while it Iuih ull the advantages of iuorensed value during the tune, for when the ponuu'ioKt improvement is made ft few loadH of gravel ouce in a while ia nil that will bo necessary to keep tho roads. in good condition.

Tiiic. Effect of Car Shortage. Mr. Matthews, proprietor of the Cottage Grove Flour mills is ex periencing tho result of the cir shoitage which is not very encour aging to a new-comer and an enter prising man. Several weeks ago, iu fact in the middle of April he placed orders for sevctal loads of wheat, barley and hay, but up to the present time has received but oue carload and in consequence had to shut down his null, lie has made complaints to the putties from whom he purchased the grain, but all the satisfaction he could obtain was that it would be shipped as soon as cars could be obtained, which wa promised i y May 1. Last week he made a trip to Albany fii Bee if a personal appeal would havo any better effect. Ho lound there about 150 empty cars, but a solitary .one was all he could ob tain, the agent claiming that all the empty cars were engaged ahead ot him.' He wanted to know then why the company did not move them so that they 'would -bo doing some one good, but ot course could got uo satisfactory explanation, lie is now liviug 011 promises and can do nothing but await the pleasure of the company. This state of af fairs is very exasperating, canning uot only great deal of annoyance but a financial loss to him and the community ot large, but it does not seem that absolutely anything can he dono to remedy it.

A Plan to Allow the School Children of Oregon to Help Raise a Fund to Outfit the Contemplated Expedition to the North Pole. Through the courtesy of Mr. W. I!. Dillaid, S'ipf rinb-adent of Pub lic Schools, we have leen furnished with the following copy of circular issued from Dm State Department of Public Iiistruclio 1 to the school leichers of the State. To Tin; Tkaciikks or Orkgo.n': Commander Robert h. Peary, the world-famous arctic explorer, has appealed to the American people to h'-lp r'dse a fund of foo,ooo which he needs to defray the general ex penses ot his coming expedition in sentdi of tin; North Pole. lie has j gone s far north that lie (eels sure ! that he will be eble to solve the j perplexing mystcri s ot the Ti 11 - known Polar regions on the con-! templated exp-dition, piovided ! funds can be raided to finHijee it. It has been suggested that this amount might be nied through j small contributions by the school children of the Un.ted St-ites. Mr. j Peary has approved of this plan 1 and would be please 1 if the scho' 1 children ot On gou would take the initiative in this matter. It is es pecially fitting that tln-.v do so, for the reason that the masts and deck of his ship, the "Roosevelt," are made of Oregon l ine, and that his surgeon is an Oregon nrm. 'Ihe State Hoard of Ivdueation heartily approves of y plan to al low the school rhildicu of Oregon to help raise the fund, and the Peinrd suggests tit t yii a-: a teach er impriss ii 'ou the mm ! of your pupils the lniji.U t -iri'-e nnd M . lii'i- eat'co ot this under taking.

And ihy are furih 1 r allowed to solicit among their friends tor isst:ti!ce, m that the State of Oregon mav tuak" as good a showing as possible in this great national movement. Interest and enthusiasiuui can be amused by having "Penrv iTaiks" in the schools, discussions and studies ot the splendid achievement ho has made. The money contributed iu each school on "Peary Day" should bo turned over by you to the princi pal or county superintendent, who will in turn see that it i handed to the State Hoard. It will then bo forwarded by us to Commander Peaiy. It is advisable that uo time bo lost in explaining the r ovement to the children, and the Hoard of Edu cation is confident that the boys and gill will enter heartily into the scheme, it thoy are given clear ly to understand that their pennies ami uicklc may be the. melius of discovering the North Polo. 01CO. lv.

Hetween thirty nnd forty ot tho citi.eitH (, Cottage Grove joined in the Woman's club picnic given last Saturday near Disston. Tho weath er was not propititions for such an outing, but still you cannot find a single excursionist who does not say or bi.ngino that they had had a delightful ti,,e. Sunshine nnd rain were about equally divided and the intervals of sunshine was devoted to finding a good shelter for the next shower. However, all being of jovial dispositions, such a little thing as an Oregon mist did n t scare anyone and all made effort to secure all Ihe enjoyment out of the trip possible. The luncheon was partaken under umbrella and the fact that diippings from it occasion ally flavored the ice cream and other good things, caused a good deal of amusement and many In genious methods were calbd forth to prevent t lie mixture. The clerk of the weal her is to be severely censured (or his lack of politeuesa and it in to be hoptd lhat the next affair of th kind he will treat us with better consideration. Latest Revised Base Ball Rules. Although our Cottage (irove pport do not sepin inclined to form a base bnil club iliis year, we submit the following latest revised rules for their eon-i deration. Rfl.K The first thing .or a baseball player to do is to ueiuire a nickname. A hnllpl.i.ver never becomes famous as William or llenry. tjet to be "Mil Bu sy" or "Tripe" nnd your success is assured. Ueineiutier umpire are your only friends and are meant to ho abused. The timj.ljs must be made to take the blame every time you are called out arid every U"od base runner make the umpire .shoulder the blame for raw woik on r lie bags. Your jol) is never cinched. The only way t get to rhjht with the manager is to catch him murdering some one some dark night. Then when lie attempt to semi you to the bush tli 1 eaten to leil on him To be a success yon muse stand in with the home fans. To do this, you must imike a home run every time you eoni" to Ihe hat. Never knock the ball ho t lie tielder can catch it. This rule must never be broken. . If aballcoines toward you do not faint, catch it. Another unbreakable rule. l.earu to be an "inside phtyer." Nu one know what that is, Imt bo one unwny. When you ate on the coaching line always encourage the batter, if the manager is at bat make a play by calling to the score boy to "chalk up" "another run" although the run are hung up, not chalked up or else motion the Holders to piny well buck to the fence . Whenever you muff a hall swear at the scorers, ami tell them that.it was too hot to liati'lle. Never run away w hen any one be gins to throw "pop" bottle at you. Pick them up. You can sell tliem for three cents a piece. When a stall' photographer want to take your picture look shy and let him coax you. Don't overdo it, though. It is nice to have your pic ture in the paper you send home to the folks. It proves you aro uot in jail . The 0. N. G. Outing. Captain Johnson of. Co. Ii on be ing interviewed stated that up to the present time no order had been received, designating his eotnpauy as oue iioioug others to take part iu the outing which is to be held at Tort Stevens iu July. He, how ever, expects such orders will be re ceived, as it is evidently the iuteu tion of the authorities that the newly formed companies should re ceive the benefits of the instructions which will be given. We expect that the members will not be at all adverse at receiving such order, which will, be mandatory, but in case any find lhat their absence would be detrimental to their busi ness or iu ease of siekuess, they may be excused f-'om attending. Memorial Day Services. Decoration day services will be held at Cottage (hove, Oregon, May 30, 11)07. The Mayor, city couucil, all organization and the general public aro hereby invited to participate with us iu such ser vices. We will meet at tho bank comer at f :30 a m, proceed to tho cemetery and after dinner will meet at 2 p m at the Methodist church for further observance of the d'iy, D, t,. Woous, Pout Com,
