A hit AT EuGENE.-One would think
to read the Eugene papers that all the
life in Oregon was centered in that city.
II is good city; but not so energetic
| but what the Commercial Review of
Portland is able to say: Mr. ]. +. Drucks,
of Los Angeles, California, who has had
an eye for some time on this state with
the view OF establishing q Touring mill
was in Eugene last week looking over
the situation. We understand the in
tention is to establish a steam mill; he
| should be offered all the encouragement
necessary and the mill secured by Eu-
gene If in any way possible. But from
present appearances unless the Eugene
citizens bestir themselves and give so~,e
solid and substantial encouragement to
some one miller to go and locate there,
| they will get flour mill neither this
year or the next. The regular announce
ments coming from that town spaced
seven days apart saying 'So-and-so from
$3.50 is here looking over the situation"
reminds us of a certain burg the writer
accidently struck in his travels last sum-
mer where the entire population started
Tor ''the store" in the morning staving
there till midnight in the hopes OF
something turning up" this is Just a
bit exaggerated, but the principle more
than fits Eugene. Ii the citizens OF Eu-
gene would assist Mr.. Edris, who lost his
all when his mil! burnt there, they
would have mill to be proud OF in short
order; he has been in business there h,.
fore, knows his business, the people and
the country. What in the devil else do
they wans in their miller.
PoiLTres Is IT.-The following from
the Journal indicates that politics are
being mixed into the Linn county diyis-
ion q ies.icn in a irightful manner: The
ridiculous filihustering of the Mulino-
nah delegation, begun last night, TO
force through the bill To divide Linn
county, was continued today, the evi-
dent intention being TO deadlock and de-
lay the work oi legislation in the interest
of the machine candidate for senator.
The iilihusters were voted down every
time.
The Linn county division bill did not
pass the House as the Dolph managers
promised its friends, Tuesday night. Ii
was continued BIZ % to % and made
special order next Monday ut p. IN.
Linn county has about the same area OF
arabic land that Marion county has and
not near the population that Marion
county has. 4 proposition TO divide
Marion county would have about as
much merit.
Business men want trade. and they use
the newspapers as a medium 10 obtain it,
Advertising is as worthy of a study as any
part os a business. and our successful busi-
ness men evidence that fact. Advertising
is a. much necessity to business, In these
modern times, as stick OF goods. Unless
you can gain or induce trade, there is no
money in advertising, so it should be studi-
ed. There are thousands Of dollars worth
of shop worn good that wouid have bern
sold years ago. had they been advertised.
Ii is better business 10 advertise them at a
slight loss than il Is 10 carry them hoping
for demand that viii never come. Create
q demand by advertising them at q low
figure. Dispose Of them ami save money.
The continuous and l1dieious Advertiser
always has fresh stock--Ex.
The following from the Eugene Guard
is in keeping with remark recently made
BY the DEMOCRAT: The house calendar
has now by manipulation of interested
parties been padded to eighty pages and
contains clear grab out Of the state treas
ury CT from three to four thousand dollars.
Ine gra0olng and stealing OF the last leg
is.ature is beiLg duplicated in this matter
and should be stopped.
QUiTE SIGxIFIcASr.-Capt.S Symons has
made report to the effect that the bar
at Yaquina Bay is not worthy Of further
| Improvements, and the report is en-
dorsed by Col. Mendell. Naturally the
| newspapers In the section Of the state
most interested are wrathy, and accuse
the captain Of gross partiality. Symons
owns townsite on Coos Bay.-Rose-
, burg Review.
