COTTAGE GROVE, OREOOS
The old proverb that “ a house divid­
ed against itself canuot stand,” should
serve as a warning to the state miners
association to endeavor to harmonize
the various mining interests of the
state instead of creating discord and
friction as was tile result of a recent
questionable proceeding in the Bohe­
mia mining district in which an offi­
cial of tiie state association figured.
From this unfortunate affair there rre
a largo number of prominent mine
owners in the Bohemia district whose
ardor for the success of the state asso­
ciation has been decidedly cooled.
Ami again, the spectacle of prominent
officials of the state organizatio i
c n in g down and knocking certain
prominent mine o|«rators and owners
o f the Bohemia mining district is
enough to “ froezo” a blast in hades
the dry goods stores of Cottaige
