RECO RD .
Cottage Grove has a record for
$136,41« spent on new buildings
the past eight months. Five new
brick blocks, ‘>2 residences, a Bap­
tist church, and eight miles of
graded streets is the record for
1909. Four new brick blocks, a
German Lutheran church, and
pavement on the principal business
street is the program for 1910. The
number of new residences and
blocks of concrete sidewalk cannot
be computed. Many are going up
now. There are two good high
school buildings. There is a gen­
erous spirit of progress and rivalry
among business men and citizens,
that each shall do his part, and
the strongest community spirit
manifested by any western Oregon
town. The Cottage Grove spirit is
invincible. They have set out to
conquer non progress!vism among
themselves, weeding out the knock­
er, putting live men to the front,
and using every resource of credit
and taxation to build a city beauti­
ful by the present generation, with­
out waiting for the slow processes
of nature. They realize that a city
is an artificial creation and not a
matter of municipal vegetation.

marks the ending of the first three

company will be mustered out. It
is stated that 33 of the 73 members
have signified their intention of re-
enlisting. Col. Jàckson inspector
general of the state will be present
and deliver the principal address.-
The discharge papers will hie pre­
sented by Col. Yoran of Kugene
aud the medals for rifle practice
and skill will be awarded by Gen­
eral Fitizer. The recruiting and
perpetuation of Co. K. depends en­
tirely upon the interest and en­
couragement offered on the part of
the citizens of Cottage Grove all
of whom are invited to attend the
mustering out ceremonies. Co- K.
has been of great benefit to Cottage
Grove in numerous ways.
The
company has made good on every
occasion aud directed much atten­
tion to Cottage Grove through its
efficiency and good showing on all
occasions. Its rifle team has caus­
ed military organizations all over
the state to set up and take notice
and twice have members of this
team been clioseu to represent Ore­
gon in the great national shoots.
For these and many other reasons
Cottage Grove can illy afford to
disband this splendidlocal military
organization. Now is the time to
boost.

Nesmith Wins First Game.
The first game of base ball put
up by the Willamette League for
the season was pulled off oil the
Grove diamond Sunday between
Roljerts Bros, team of Kugene aud
the Nesmiths of Cottage- Grove.
The visitors had it pretty much
their own way tip to the last half
of the ninth inning when the Nes­
miths got busy and made five spec­
tacular runs, changing the score
from .5 to 0 to 6 to 5 in favor of the
home team, thereby springing a
great surprise on the local fans
who went wild. The game was
witnessed by a good sized crowd
the gate receipts being $103. T h e
Nesmiths were out in • their new
suits, navy blue, with maroon
stockings and caps. The n ex t
game will be played with Spring-
field Sunday at Kugene. Follow­
ing is the liue-up of the teams in
last Sunday’s game.
