TWENTY-TWO
INJURED
SOUTHERN
Eeno, Feb. 21. Twenty-two men and women are lying in
a hospital at Elko, Nev., today, being treated for injuries re
ceived last night when six cars of the Southern Pacifio pas
senger train, east-bound, No. 10, left the rails one mile west
of Palisade. Three of the passengers are acknowledged to be
seriously injured, although the railroad officials do not ex
pect them to prove fatal.
The wreck was caused by a broken rail from a flaw in the
manufacture. The crash came just as the passengers of the
sleeper, were preparing to retire, and several cars went crash
ing down a steep embankment, almost into Humboldt river.
The fact that the scene of the wreck is considered one cf
the most dangerous pieces of track on the entire Salt Lake
division prevented a most disastrous wreck, as all trains are
driven at slow speed through Palisade canyon.

The county roads about Eugene
are In a better shape than they have
been for years at this time of year.
This Is partly due to the mild win

of road work doge last summer. The
road to Walterviile Is very bad In a

little' heavy mud In evidence, in

COTTAGE GROVE TO
VENT ITS SPITE
ON U. OF 0.
At Meeting Last Night People
Vote to Invoke Referen- ,
dum on U. of 0. Appropriation
Cottage Grove. Or., Feb. 21. At
a mass meeting held here last night
a movement was started to old up
the University of Oregon appropria
tion for two years through the refer
endum. Taxpayers of southern Lane
county and northern Douglas cYunty
gathered in the Commercial club to
the number of several hundred to ut
ter a protest against the appropria
tion of more than half a million dol
lars for tho State University.
Money was subscribed and com
mittees appointed to secure the ne
cessary signatures to the referendum
petitions after the meeting had ex
pressed, through unanimous vote. In
favor of invoking the referendum up
on the appropriations for the Institu
tion at Eugene. Resolutions fram
ed declared the appropriations ex
travagant and needless at this par
tlsular time.
Stirring speeches were made de
nouncing not only the appropriation
for the University of Oregon, but
against several other measures pass
ed by the recent legislature.
"Spite work because of the defeat
of Cottage Grove's county division
aspirations last fall," was the com
ment heard here when It became
known that a movement had been
started to call the referendum on the
University appropriation. Most of
those who were Interviewed today
state that Eugene can get along
without the University appropriation,
and that it 1b the Institution and not
the town that will suffer. The move
ment to build up a real state uni
versity did not originate In the minds
of the Eugene "boosters," hut was
conceived by the management of the
University, who are aware of its
needs, and it seems to be the be
lief .here that this movement of the
Cottage Grove county seat crowd
will kill their, chances for a new
county for all time to come.
There seemed to be a growing sen
timent In this city and surrounding
country to eventually concede to the
wishes of the Nesmlth county pro
moters whenever the lines of the
new county and the other conditions
imposed by the bill were regnrded as
more equitable, but this latest move
seemB to have wiped out all tendency
in that direction.
"While we as a community regard
this action of Cottage Grove as an
attack on the principle of higher ed
ucation, more than upon Eugene as
a city," said one prominent citizen
today, "It may be taken as indica
tive of the sentiment of pottage
Grove toward Eugene, and you may
say that the fighting blood of En
Keen has been arouBed, and you may
safely predict that h 1 will freeze
over before Cottage Grove becomes
a county sont. We will Join forces
with Drain and help form a new
county around that ambitious town
rather than let Cottage Grove win
out. If it Is to be war to the knife,
we accept the challenge."
CHAMBERS' SPUR
ORDINANCE VETOED
Track Would Partially Block a
Portion of Fifth Street
at High
At a meeting of the city council
late this afternoon the ordinance
passed last night granting F. L.
Chambers a franchise to build a spur
track from the main track of the
S. P. Co. to bis property on High
street was vetoed by Mayor Matlock,
for the reason that the street com
mittee after making an Investigation
today, reported adversely. The pro
posed spur would, according to the
committee's Investigations, block a
portion of Fifth street at the Inter
section of High and prevent the Ore
gon Electric or any other railway
company from turning up High
street A change will have to be
made In the route of tho spur be
fore tho council will grant the fran
chise.

Advertising Is Now a Necessity
For Churches, Says Presbyterian.

church and labor. In an address before ministers aud laymen at the MeCor
