NEWS FROM COTTAGE
GROVE ANO VICINITY
Elder B. C. Tabor, pastor of the
Advent church, made this office a
pleasant visit on Monday, He says
that the work on the new chapel
which the denomination will erect on
Wall street will be delayed somewhat
by having to wait a few days for the
proper dimension stuff and also from
the fact that he finds all our mechan
ics so busy that he expects he will
have to import carpenters before the
work can proceed.
However, what
work can be done Is being proceeded
with. About 1600 so far has been
pledged, but more will have to be
raised, which he does not anticipate
much difficulty In doing.
The death of Mrs. Geer at London
Springs caused the celebration of the
country's anniversary to be postponed
until last Saturday. A large number
of our cltlaena attended and from
what we can hear them say they had
a most enjoyable time The program
as originally arranged was carried
out with the addition of various other
things. Speeches, declainatlOns and
Bongs were rendered and In the after
noon sports of all kinds were Indulg
ed In. A bow< ry dance was a great
attraction, and the fireworks In the
evening were very fine, and It was
long toward
midnight
before the
crowd dispersed for their various
homes, having enjoyed a most pleaa-

Corvallis, Or., July 16.—It Is given
.out here that 25 miles of a railroad
running from Corvallis southwest)
along the foothills is to be built this
I autumn, work to begin as soon as
. the surveys can be completed and ]
I right-of-way secured.
The initial i
shipment of steel rails, comprising I
four cars, is now in transit to Cor- >
vallls over the XVest Side line of the
Southern Pacific. An additional six
cars are in Portland, and in all 1 > ]
miles of the rails are en route. Sur- ■
veyors have been in the field four,
weeks, and are now operating near)
Corvallis.
The destination of the line Is!
Rlachley, in what is known as the
Lake Creek country, on the headwa- >
ter.i ot the Siuslaw. The road will be i
38 miles long, and the announcement
is that it will be completed next
spring. It taps 3,000,600,000 feet of i
standing timber en route, and trav- (
erses the finest agricultural section ,
of Benton county. In the Lake Creek
country It opens the finest dairy re-'
gion along the coast.
Stephen Carver, who built the 16-
mlie railroad from Ontario to X'ale,

vlcinty subscribed $30,000 in stock.
The estimated cost of the first 2 >
