Mr Carol Jacobson who was running the gang edger had the misfortune to get his hand •caught iu the saw. The third fin ger was taken off aud the saw fol lowed up the forearm almost to the elbow. He was taken to the hospi tal at Eugene and Drs Kuykendnl and Paine dressed the wound, taking out the third finger and all the bones of the wrist aud about half the bones of the forearm. At last reports he was getting along nicely end will probably recover the use of ■his baud, though it will never be strong. The boys in the camp where the accident occured made up the sum of $340 and sent along with him when he was taken to the hospitnl. We understand that Mr Booth has offered to put the un fortunate man through a business college as soon as he gets able to atteud. T he S chool L aw .— The following is the gist of the school law which applies to voting at the special meeting to be held in Cottage Grove e a the 18th 2o’ clock p in, to wit: Section 45. “ Any citizen of tbi3 state, male or female who is 21 years ot age and has resided in the district 30 days immediately preceediug the meeting or election, and has property ia the district, as shown by the last county assessment by the sheriff on which he or she is liable, or subject to pay a tax shall be entitled to vote at any school meeting or election in slid district. Then follows an ex planation of what constitute» pro perty which is to the effect that if “ he or 6he has stock, shares, or own ership in any corporation firm or copartnership, which has property in the district, as shown by them by the last county assessment, upon which said firm or corporation pays a tax or is liable therefore whether the same has been assessed or n ot." they are legal voters. The writer is informed b the district board that there is state and county school m>. iis drawn by this district to carry on but little over five months school It appears to be imperative for the existance of a good school hare to levy a small tax upon the property owners. Cottage Grove has the name of mantaioieg a good public school and her present standard in this regard should not in our estimation be lowered. No kind of publio institutions of this kind can be run without finances. The rising generation of this school district will tie the living monuments to mark the progress of their pred ecessors. There is nothing loet by spending money to educate the child; but a great deal baa been loat for the lack of a good education. The American school of todav is the bulwark of American liberty.
