EUGENE vERsus sALeM.

Eugene papers get great pleasur,
and satisfaction out OF Comparisons o

says:
The appropriations for the state uni

prosperity.
Salem can never come up with Eu
gene in tributary numbering and min
ing industries. In well-Sept streets and
sidewalks.
In proportion 10 our size. we do
mated more money for the Heppner
sufferers than did Salem. Next
The Register says: Down at Salem
the city is in the throes of a strenuous
debate over whether or not bicyclissts
shall be allowed to use the sidewalks.
The controversy is so bitter that coun.
cilmen are divided on the question,
and the election or defeat of future
candidates for city legislators will be
based on the question. In a case OF
that kind the whole matter should be
compromised by allowing the bicycles
on the side street walks during the
winter months, and make them take to
the streets In summer.
During the summer months bicycles
do twice the damage to walks they do
in the winter, for the reason that the
rainy season swells the boards. and
walks are more solid than in summer
time. During the warm season the
boards loosen. nails come up and bicy.
cles running over the walks work
many of the boards hose. and wear
,ut the walk faster than do the pc.
iestrlans. The rule should be made
