Eugene people have grasped the sit
uation at q bound, and have taken the
animal by the horns. The Guard says !:
In another column of this issue appears
call, signed by the mayor and a num-
Der of citizens, for "a mass meeting to be
held at the court house Friday evening,
July 26tn. to consider the matter of se-
curing an extension of the Oregon Gen.
trail and Eastern railroad from Corvallis
to Eugene. The object is, as stated, to
get an expression OF the people in re-
gard to the matter. If the extension of
this road to Eugene could be secured it
would be of vast benefit not only to the
town but to the whole county. and to
intermediate points, not only in secur-
ing great reduction in freight rates but
also in traversing and opening up a sec
tion of country which at present is not
convenient 10 railroad. The good to
be derived from competing railroad
directly to deep water is no secret to the
