Cottage Grove and community
suffered less from Monday’s freshet
than most of the upper Willamette
communities. The loss of a small
bridge on River street near the site
of the old Cottage Grove hotel, the
displacement of a few side-walks,
crosswalks and fences was the ex
tent of the damage in Cottage
Grove. On Row river some farm
fences were washed out aud one
newly constructed bridge on Sharp’s
creek, recently built by Ilogate
and Cunningham was carried a-
way. Some of the newly plowed
and seeded ground in the bottom
opposite Saginaw, on the Ilardiug
aud Kennedy farms, being culti
vated by E. C. Conner and Beidler
Bros, was washed out. However,
taken altogether, the damage in
this vicinity was comparatively
slight and by Wednesday the water
had nearly all receded to the river
and creek channels and old Sol

DIAM OND
As A n Investment
The man or woman who wears a diamond also
wears an air of prosperity that is far reaching in
its influence.
These are Commercial times, and to BE suc
cessful you must LO O K it. People are always
judged at first by their appearance.
As an investment, the diamond is in a class by
itself, because, outside of its intrinsic value, it has
the added value as an adornment.
When you are ready to buy a diamond, at what
ever price, there are plenty of reasons why you
should come and see the fine line of Diamonds in
