H IS popular musical organization, composed entirely o f prominent young men o f Cottage Grove, was organized in February. 1901. by Byron Atkins, who served as director 1.1 tile band for a slicrt time, .and was succeeded by Cl’.as. Cochran, tile well-known cornet player. Organization was effected with about 16 members, only threi o f whom were able to play the scale in band music It l l l P t < progress n r A I T f P C C t that l l Q t t the i l * » l banil xoM rl n o c ij] that time. However, so rapid did its members was a!>le to give its initial concert on April 1 1 , about one month after its organization. It filled its first public engagement on July 4 following, and made its first decided “ h it." I11 September following this band was engaged to fill a four davs' en gagement at the Eugene street fair and carnival, and received much favorable comment at the county seat Free concerts were given at home at intervals dur ing this time, and rehearsals »ere held from once to twice a week regularly. Late in June o f last year, ill the face o f many obstacles and discourage ments, the C. M. A . Band announced that it would give a four days’ street fair and carnival at this place, which was a big undertaking considering the size o f the town. Arnold’s big carnival company was engaged to help out the daily H. R . B E R R Y program and supply attractions, and the occasion proved a great success financ C. W . W A L L A C E . M anager ' •«DIRECTOR ially and otherwise. On July 4 following, this band was again employed to fill an engagement at Eugene, for which it received a handsome purse In August, 1903, elegant uniforms were received by the band. They are o f a greenish color, richly gold laced, and give the band a splendid appearance. Much credit for the rapid progress, excellence and success cl this musical organization is due to the efficient directions o f Chas. Cochran, who gave the band his personal attention up to about six months ago, when he was succeeded by H. R. Berry of Fargo, North Dakota, who, through his ability and efficiency, has been able to advance the band at its old time pace and more than maintain its e x cellent reputation. A full share o f the credit tor the splembd success o f this band is also due 0 . \V. Wallace, who was elected manager at its organization and has been retained in that office tip to the present tune. Besides taking a very active interest in the business affairs of the band, he takes the important part o f baritone. The band now comprises 24 pieces, principally silver plated Conn instruments, its instrumentation being as follows: H. R. Berry, director, solo cornet; Horace Cochran, solo cornet; Guy Vanriper, solo cornet; Wm. Perman, solo cornet; Win. Thom p son, first cornet; Eber Brown, first cornet: Merl Scovell, stcond cornet: Herbert Hawley, third cornet: Llovd Bisby, first clarinet; Frank Holderman, second clarinet: Mr. Harris, alto; A . Griffin, alto: Ernest Bisby, alto; Robt. Bruce, alto; A. L. W ynne, first trombone; Clarence Morss, second trombone: Blain Jackson second tromlione; C. W . Wallace, baritone: C. G. Gray, baritone: Orvil Taylor, B bass; W . L. Wallace, tuba; Lee Roy W oods, tuba; Clyde Nokts, snare drum; Kari Hill, base drum and cymbals; Pearl Bennett, drum major. r More interest than usual was manifested in Cottage Grove’ s muni cipal electiou last Monday, from the fact that opposition tickets were in the field representing distinct issues. One ticket headed by It. M. Veatch, for mayor and Jos. Youug for re corder, both candidates for re-eleet- ion, was designated, “ citizens tick et,” while the other headed by At torney J. S. Medley for mayor and F. D. Wheeler, for recorder, ap peared as “ taxpayers ticket.” Early Monday morning a circular, addressed to the taxpayers of Cot tage Grove was found distributed about town in which Messrs Medley aud Wheeler were sharply criti cized. This intensified matters and inspired the Medley suppo.l.rs to even more vigorous efforts. The principal issue involved a strict regulation of the saloon business and the issuance of bonds in the sum of $15.000 for the purpose of supplying the town with sewerage. Both tickets favored the latter issue, but the old regime was considered too lenient in regard to the former issue. The tickets were as follows: be primary for West Cottage e precinct couveneil iu the Ma- i lie Lull anil the ineetiug was call- | to oriler at 1:30 o’ clock p. 111. by j mitteeman, J. E.
