K IN G MISS MEETING HELD THURSDAY All’s Weil for 1909 QThe truth of this ¿fatement is borne out not only by the present condition, but by indications which positively cannot be ignored. QWe have no complaint to make with the year 1908. for certainly our business has prospered. The out look for 1909 is very favorable; confidence is returning with lightning speed and we know of no reason why the coming year should not prove to be a banner year for business. QWe wish you a Happy and Prosperous New Year. To Consider County A most enthusiastic aud largely J. F . Spray, Chas.

T h e Albauy Democrat mau e x poses his iguorauce on the Lane couuty divisiou proposition in a late issue o f his paper when he says: “ Cottage G rove people are plan ning to have a uew couuty with Cottage Grove as the county seat, which suggests the reason for the chauge. Lane is a loug couuty. I f there shall be any division the proper thing will be to divide the couuty from north to south. Meat of these county divisions are for the purpose of securing the ad vantages offered a couuty seat W hen that is the only reason they should always be opposed. That is uot what couuty scats are for aud there should be higher motives than th is." The Democrat matt then admits that he "know s nothing about this proposition,'' which is evident from his nonsensical argument. It is the Bohemia miniug district, the Coast Fork and Pass Creek caityou timber and lumber interests which are cut in twain by the Lane and Douglas bouudary line, which "suggests the reason” for this plausible movement aud uot atty particular ambitiou ou the part o f Cottage ( ‘. rove to become a county seat. The citizens o f South Lane county have tried to secure ICgis latiou repeatedly providing for chauge o f the county bounddry line so as to iuclude these mining and timl>er iuterests all iu Lane county in order to avoid a world of legal tcchuecalities, inconveni ence aud extra expense iu devel opment proceedings, but have met with failure, so uow, it is proposed to form this section into a new county. I f you cannot write intelligently south Laue, but they admit that if the proposition is carried to an initiative vote the measure will probably carry, so those Eugene aud Roseburg citizens who have beeu playing the “ dog in the manger” act for these years— re fusing to develop the resources of north Douglas and south Lane or provide assistence for others to do so, will have to take their med icine, agree upou au amicable divisiou of the com paratively small territory asked for by the promoters o f the new county, or the measure will certainly be submitted to au initiative vote at the next regular election and the boundary line will be fixed to our own liking. Gentlemen, its up to you!
