JOTTINGS
Sunday afternoon at Fairview Grange
hall, at 2 o’clock, there will be preaching
ing service conducted bv Geo. F. Zim­
merman. This will be the initial service
of a series of speciul meetings to follow
the coming week. Everybody in that
community given a cordial invitation to
attend one and all of these meetings.
Quite a number of the dogs in the city
have died from the effects of poison, and
it is some of the most valuable dogs that
have succumbed. If these animals were
poisoned intentionally, it is a wrong
thing for anyone to do. There are, how-
ever, too many cur dogs in the city,
some of whom would be a good thing
to poison off, but to poison valuable and
dogs that are used far sporting, is hurt*
ing a good many men’s feelings and who
would like to know who it is that is
doing the poisoning.
Senator Fulton knows the needs of the
Coast Counties, so long neglected for
want of transportation. He introduced
in the senate last week a bill appropri­
ating $100,000 for building a dredge for
use on the entrance of harbors along the
Oregon coast ; a bill appropriating $50,.
000 for improving Tillamook Bay ; a
bill authorizing the acquisition of the
canal and locks at Oregon City for $600..
000, or by condemnation, if that price is
refused ; and a resolution authorizing a
survey and estimate of the cost of a pro-
ject for a 40-foot channel at the entrance
of Coos Bay.
