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

region will secure the business.
So it behooves us to bestir our
selves to interest capital in this
worthy enterprise.

Bachelors Beg For Wives.
Klamath Falls, Ore., March 2 3 .
— Having become wealthy grow

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.

When our little sister city on
the south, o f three or four hun

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

proposed building is to occupy

would be no trouble in making a
wise choice in this matter by the
school board and patrons. It’s

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
