WILL ISSUE FIRST CITY DIRECTORY
One Between Oregon City
and Salem.
R L. Polk Co. Will List Collage Grove
Residents.
A county directory soon to be is­
sued will provide for this city its
first published list of residents. It
is impossible to designate exact lo­
cations, because there is no system
of house numbering. This can be
provided for by ordinance. In the
preseut instance the difficulty is a
serious one, names and occupation
only being available for publication.
If there were a system of street des­
ignation and numbering this disad­
vantage would be avoided. The
Leader will soon publish a map of
Cottage Grove shoving streets and
giving names. This is not a map
to show property lines—ouly streets
and manufacturing and kindred in­
dustries. Iu conjunction with the
new directory it will furnish means
of directing strangers to any given
location. It remains for the Council
to get figures over the doorways of
business houses and dwellings.
W. J. Lloyd, of Portlr.ud represen­
ting R. L. Polk & Co., Directory
Publishers, is here gathering data
for the forthcoming Lann county
Directory. The directory will con­
tain a complete list of the residents
in each town iu the county also a
list of taxpayers with the assessed
valuation and poet office address.
A writeup of the town will be in­
cluded at the head of the Cnttng*
Grove lists.
Merchants realize the value of
such a publication and are giving
it substantial support.
Copies of this directory will be
placed in every city of importanca
in the United States.
L. B. French, manager of the
Portland Southern Railway Com­
pany is making arrangements to
establish headquarters in Salem and
attending to many minor details for
his compauy, says the Journal.
Mr. French is not a “ brass band,'
railway man, and (lees not rush into
print, consequently is rather ad
verse to discussing future plans.
Nevertheless, lie is courteous and
civil and easy to approach.
In talking to a Journal reporter,
Mr. French said: “ We expect to
commence work on the permanent
survey at once, probably tomorrow.
1 am going out this afternoon to
meet the engineers, and the grade
stakes will be set as soon as we de
termine ono or two right of way
agreements.
"The route will follow the South­
ern Pacific railruad, and will touch
all the valley towns between Oregon

of New Era.
