Editor J. C. Roberts of the Myrtle
Point Enterprise, is a very chivalrous
young man ami recently after taking
observations about town he retired to
his sanctum and i>enned this editorial
paragraph: “ Ladies in this town
raise their skirts while walking, und
ii’» all right as far as we can see.”
Vacation Is over and the famiiiur
sound of the school bell is heard
throughout the land. The ¡boys and
girls seen wending their way to
school with arms full of books and
happy smiling faces, are the men and
women of the future, and upon whose
shoulders will soon rest the future
affairs of stute, and It is essential that
they be encournged to obtnin the
best education possible.
Cottage Grove Is rapidly gaining a
reputation for having the dirtiest
streets of any town In the county, and
the fact that it has no sewerage is
taken as positive evidence that the
place is unhealthy. Every day we
read overdrawn paraitraphs like the
following, which can but soon work
an injury to the town. The Myrtle
Point Enterprise saya:
"Cottage
Grove Is in such a dirty condition or
the water supply is contaminated by
filth to such an extent that the public
schools were closed, owing to an epi
demic of diphtheria.” Our friend is
not conversant with the conditions
in Cottage Grove, or else be would not
connect our water supply In any way
With the recent deplorable circum
stance of the schools having to close
fora couple of weeks. The conditions
in this city, from a sanitary point of
view, certainly are not good, and the
future prosperity of the town and the
health of the present population de
mand that a system of sewerage be
put in operation as soon as the coun
oil can have the work done. But our
water supply is our pride, as it comes
from away up in the mountains And is
as pure as the nectar of the gods.
