THE = S O = The Leader was informed by William Edlefsen, one o f the wealthy orchard tract owners o f the Lorane valley, that a number o f prominent Eugene citizens visited Lorane last week, with a view to inspecting or investigat ing an electric railroad route from Eugene to that rich and fertile valley. O f course, the nearest, most practical and fea sible route for an electric line from the Southern Pacific rail road to Lorane is from Cottage Grove, over which route a tem porary survey has already been made, but unless special induce ments and substantial encour agement in the way o f securing right-of-way is offered by Cot tage Grove, Eugene will yet beat us into this valuable territory with an electric line, and forever secure the business and benefits from the development o f the vast timber, orchard, dairy, farming, fishing and other resources o f that section, which is directly tributary to Cottage Grove, anil made easily accessible now by two good wagon roods from this place. But those people, includ ing many o f wealth and influ ence, are not going to remain long content with 12 miles o f even good wagon roads, but will demand electric or steam rail road transportation with outside points, a»d o f the only two fea sible routes Eugene and Cot tage Grove, the first to tap that region will secure the business. So it behooves us to bestir our selves to interest capital in this worthy enterprise. Hurrying to Coos Bay, “ Within a week we will have 1000 men to the front at the sta tions along that portion o f the Eugene-Coos Bay railway, cov ered by Porter Bros. ’ contracts,” said George P. Crowell, local manager for the Hanley employ ment agencies. He has just opened the Eugene agency in the rooms formerly occupied by Ful ler & Bain, contractors. “ We shall have two four- horse teams leaving for the front every morning, ” continued Mr. Crowell, “ and shall keep things stirring until the camps are sup plied. Porter Bros, are com pelled, by the terms o f their contract, to have the line com pleted from Gardiner to Marsh field by the first day o f Novem ber.—Guard. Bachelors Beg For Wives. Klamath Falls, Ore., March 2 3 . — Having become wealthy grow ing alfalfa and grain on their homesteads, a large number of bachelors of Langell Valley, near here, have appealed to Rev. George H. Feese, of Klam ath Falls, begging him to secure for them “ carload lots” of mar riageable women. Mr. Feese is making an effort to comply with their request and has addressed letters to Eastern cities, with the view of securing 200 women, as a starter, for the lonely bachelors. Baby With Three Heads. Applelon, W is., March 22.— A child with three heads was born to Mrs. Louis Palm, of Appleton, today. The main head is longer than the other two and is the one closest to the trunk of the body. On top of the main head is a neck surmounted by the other two heads. It is said the child cannot live, as it was born with a broken spine. Easter Observed. TO VOTE ON BOND ISSUE Shall W e Provide for Needs of Cottage Grove Schools? The $20,000 o f bonds for the new Yoncalla school building have been sold to Keeler Bros., o f Denver, Col. The price to be paid is $1.04. The sale is sub ject to legal investigation by the f i r m ’ s attorneys. — Yoncalla Times. When our little sister city on the south, o f three or four hun dred people, demonstrates so much enterprise and public spir it, it looks as if Cottage Grove could hardly afford to turn down the proposed $40,000 district bond issue to provide funds for the building and equipment o f a modern and much needed high school building in this city, es pecially since the time has come when more room and better ac commodations and facilities must be provided or else our children be sent elsewhere to attend school. Like most all other taxpayers, we are not anxious to have our taxes increased another mill, neither would we have our school district plunged hopelessly in debt, but it seems somethiug must be done to provide for the rapidly growing demands for adequate educational advantages and facilities here. It is gener ally understood that the new proposed building is to occupy the site o f the present east side High school building which could be moved on the south end o f the campus and utilized for the lower grades. As to the plans, material and specifica tions, any one knows that scores o f estimates and plans would be submitted to select from, were the bond issue assured and there would be no trouble in making a wise choice in this matter by the school board and patrons. It’s up to us —or will be, next Satur day. Creswell has a new modern, commodious high school building, Drain has a palatial high school building and now little Yoncalla falls into line. Cottage Grove has only $10,000 school district in debtedness. Are we to be out classed by all neighboring towns in the matter o f educational pro gress and advancement? PEOPLE FLOCKING TO C I T I E S M O S BAY Marshfield, Ore., March 20.— Never before were there as many strangers in Maishfield and North Bend. Every house in both cities is occupied, and hotels and rooming houses are crowded. It will be necessary to build more houses to accommodate the peo ple who come to reside, and a number o f apartment houses and roominghouses are being planned. The vessels from San Francis co are crowded, and it is neces sary to engage passage from that city far in advance o f the departure o f the vessels. The boats from Portland are also crowded, and most o f the pas sengers are strangers who come to look over the country or to lo cate. Some Good Porkers. Bartels & Ernest received Fri day from James Conley two dressed hogs, one weighing 322 pounds and the other 245 pounds, or a total o f 567 pounds, for which Mr. Conley received 9 1-2 cents per pound, or the neat sum o f $53.86.
