ste|>s leading toward the securing
of a new county of which Flor­
ence is to be the new county seat.
Their purpose is to initiate a bill
to form a new county and to have
it voted on at the next regular
state election. The county they
projiose to organize will take all
the sea coast of both Lane and
Douglas which will lie 45 miles in
length from north and south and
let it run inland about Mi miles
following the summit of the Coast
range as nearly as jiossible as a
natural boundary and leaving
Blnchly and I.orane in this county
and F.lktou still in Douglas. The
line proposed will run between
Mound and I.orane crossing the
Umpqua just west of Elktou to
the south line of Douglas and fol­
lowing said south line to the coast,
including the lower part of the
Siuslaw and Umpqua rivers.
The name of the proposed new
county is Siuslaw and it will take
about $.1,000,000 of taxable prop­
erty front Latte and about $2,500,-
000 from Douglas. This would
give the new county quite a start
and make a county whose interest
for natural boundaries are identi­
cal.
It would not have the effect of
hurting the chances of the pro­
posed new county of Nesmith.
As the eastern boundary fixed
by the Florence ¡>eople is practi­
cally the exact line fixed by. the
Cottage Grove Commercial Club
as the western boundary of Nes­
mith county, the promoters of
the two new county projects should
and will work in harmony for the
success of their respective causes.
It would be money in Lane and
Douglas county's pocket to have
the new county formed and get rid
of the outlay over income.
The lower Siuslaw jieople are in
dead earnest in the matter and will

Baker first entered a team of
consequence at Fort Dodge, Iowa.
Then he appeared at Cherokee,
same state, next at Sioux Falls,
South Dakota, when he decided to
come west. Attractions of bc.os-
terdom landed him at Cottage
Grove aud of course being a ball
player by nature, he couldn't re­
sist nature’s call when the boys
oiled tlieir inits and polished their
bats last spring. So it was that
he began his career on the Nes­
mith team and spread his fame
over the county as probably the
tiest pitcher in all Lane.
Baker not only uses curves and
speed, but he lias control of the
famous spitball. Last year with
the help of this accomplishment
he occupied the box ill 22) games
and only lost five. In spite of off
days he has lost but three games
this year and scored some shutouts
among his victories.— Eugene Reg
