James Whitcomb Kiley. The Leader is publishing ex tracts from an editorial in the Oregonian o f Monday, on the turning o f the tide o f prosperity. There is no one in so good a po sition to observe the trend o f a f fairs, industrially, commercially or politically, as a metropolitan newspaper, with all its news con nections throughout the country, and what such a paper says edi torially, if honestly told, is the best barometer o f times and con ditions to be found anywhere, The Oregonion sees sure signs o f an improvement in conditions, and gives its readers the benefit o f its optimistic conclusions. There does not seem to be any doubt in the minds o f men in a position to know, that business conditions are going to improve greatly in the next few weeks. The unprecedentedly big crop is putting the railroads o f the coun try to a hard test to handle the coming business, which will call for greatly increased expendi tures on their part. Financial conditions are excellent and la!>or is going to be pretty generally employed in all parts o f the coun try for several months to come. It looks as though the pessimist would have to go out o f business for a time at least. The people o f ijin e county ought to be kept reasonably busy amusing themselves for the next few days. With a Chautauqua at Cottage Grove and another at Eugene this week, a big tour- days' celebration and carnival at Springfield, a celebration at lx>- rane and a half dozen more throughout the country next week, there is no good reason why anybody should go hungry for amusement. “ I have noticed." said Dad Commit the other day. “ that when a man is wrestling with a full grown tooth-ache he hasn't either time or inclination to butt into the other fellow 's business, or worry about governmental af fairs.”, CHAUTAUQUA WILL OPEN THURSDAY ! THE A FEW LITTLE THINGS YOU • > The Big event in the history o f Cottage Grove, the Three Days Chautauqua, will begin Thursday, and continue with a continued round o f good things until Satur day night. The entertainers secured for these three days are among the very best on the Chautauqua cir cuit, and the people o f the com munity have arranged a big list o f amusements to be interspersed with the regular program. Dr. L. G. Herbert, the Lectur es;; Ash Davis, the Cartoonist; Count Alexander M. Lochwitzky, the Siberian Exile; Ferguson’ s Dixie Jubilee Concert Company; every one a top-notcher. This week’ s entertainment will stand long in the minds o f local people as a point in time from which to reckon amusement dates. THE FATS AND LEANS IN BATTLE ARRAY Talk about your baseball games!

Petersburg had a population In 1910 o f 24.127. o f whom 11.014 were negroes. The town o f Union in 1910 had 21,023 population, with a considerable add! tloiml population In adjacent munici palities having interests In common. In Petersburg the chamber o f com rnerce had rendered a service which.
