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

eat'co ot this under taking. I itnli
er, 'he state loir'. de-Mguib s Vei
nciday, May is "IVary Day,"
in all the scoooi o! t'e state, mid
evVry t'.'H h r should cab this nut
ter to the iitt nti n d the bo s and
gills, and lLvit'- thun, 011 that day
to make their contt ibutions lo the
IV try Nonh Pole Fund." No
chihl is to he askul to give more
than one cent, but ihy are to be
allowed to give as much as a id'-kle
if they see fit. 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

WOMAN'S CLUB PICNIC.
A Damp Time But Considered a Suc
cess Nevertheless.
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.

Decoration day services will be
