Eugene, April g.. = Special -
This city is in the thr{ of convul-

Railroads are to be here there and

considerable attention WHAT is still

is any connection between the activi-

Again the asset Company, composed
of local people in the main, is said
to be representing the Southern Pa
cific Company. How many of these
newspaper railroads are to be built,
and when, is mater of conjecture.
The only tangible evidence that any
of these floating roads are actually
going to be built is the awarding of
a contract to Contractor Rooney, of
this city, for a heavy Howe truss
bridge for the p. e. e e. across the
river to Springfield. The present con-
tract calls for bridge much heavier
than originany planned This invites
the supposition that the road is to be
extended further, and will carry
heavy traffic coming from unknown
Connections. One dreamer says the
road will be run into the McKen zie
country for the purpose of trans
porting supplies of the Northwestern

be erected at Martins rapids this
summer. The Asset Company which

iousness. Deserted, crippled, she
could do no work to earn money
tor the support of her babies. But
the elder son came to the front,
three younger boys did whatever
they could, carrying papers, running
errands, piling wood, doing all that
was possible to "help mother"
Some way, somehow the family
lived, and gradually the sting of de-
sartion faded from memory, and the
mother and her babies were as hap
py as possible under the circum-
stances.
And then came sickness. The lit
tie girl, she was only when she
died, had been sickly all her life. A
few weeks ago she was troubled with
throat disease. This developed into
diphtheria, but a doctor was called,
and the disease was thought to have
been checked
Yesterday morning the child was
sick again. She had never fully re-
covered from her previous illness,
and as the day wore on she faded.
Gradually the little heart grew
weaker and weaker, until finally it
stopped Altogether, and little Muriel
was dead
Begs for Father.
During the last hours of her life,
the little girl begged, begged pit
eously, to see the father who had
deserted her nearly three years ago ;
and the mothers grief-stricken
heart was compelled to bear the dou-
Dle burden of having an old sorrow
refreshed and of seeing her baby
fade away.
Then came the end. The little
life departed, and mothers darling
was still forever.
And so this suburban mother,
crippled bereaved, deserted, sits to-
day and faces her greatest sorrow.
She wishes for no financial assist
ance.
81 can take care of my baby's
burial" she says; but I would be
grateful for some flowers. 1 can't af-
ford to buy the flowers I would like
to bury with my darling"
The dog in San Francisco was
buried in a silver-mounted casket,
and it's coffin was covered with hot
house blooms.
The baby who died yesterday will
be buried in a simple coffin. And
the flowers?
Will the people of Portland let
this little body go to it's last resting
place without one final tribute Of
flowers?
The News is so sure that they will
not that it offers to see that all flow
ers delivered at the News Office be-
fore 12:45 tomorrow afternoon are
placed on the little Casket in time
for the last final ceremony.

How the Evil One Came TO BE Popu-
larly known as "The Old Scratch
One of the many familiar names
of his santanic majesty is THE Old
Scratch, 1t is undoubtedly due 10
the fact that scratching is so disa-
greeable that people thought 1t no
worse than the evil one. A scalp
full of dandruff keeps one scratch
ing all the time; not only disagree
able but considered very inelegant
in polite society-as It should be-
because one ought to keep the scalp
so clean that It would not itch. To
cure the scalp of dandruff effective
ly, use Newbro's Herpicide. 1t kills
the germ that creates the dandruff,
which is preliminary to falling hair,
and finally, badness. No other
hair preparation kills the dandruF
germ, Herpicide also is a very de-
lightful and effective hair-dressing.

THE EUGENE REGISTER
OFFERS EXPLANATIONS
cent Election the Local Option
lists Got a Black Eye.
(From Daily Eugene Register)

(From Daily Eugene Register)
The Salem Journal, discussing an
Associated Press dispatch sent out
from Chicago on the prohibition is
sue in this state, quoting State
Chairman Newell as saying an effort
will be made to carry Lane county
for prohibition, says concerning Eu-
gene:
I'm the recent city election bond
issues for city hall and refunding
bonds were defeated.
This was due to the revolt of the
business men and taxpayers at the
results of prob 'bitiOn."
The above shows how little the
Journal knows about the situation
in Eugene. The bond issue was de-
feated, but the liquor question had
nothing to do with it. In that cleo
tion is was proposed to issue bonds
in the sum of $150,000 to take up
warrants in that sum, most of which
had been issued to pay for the paw
ing done by private individuals, the
city thus becoming responsible for
the debts of private individuals. To
this procedure many taxpayers
strenuously objected, as they did not
want to become responsible for the
debts of private parties, and, there
fore, refused to vote the bonds, pre-
ferring to let the city warrants
stand as liens against the private
property thus improved, so that the
taxpayers, as a whole, would not be
held for such Indebtedness. 1t was
supposed that when the paving was
done the city would invoke the Ban
croft bonding act and thus relieve
the taxpayers of any liability for the
debts of private parties for such
improvements, and which it failed
to do, using the taxpayers money,
issuing warrants on the general fund
in payment to the Warren Construc-
tion company of these private paw
ing bills. 1t was this general objec-
ton to obligating the taxpayers to
tie themselves up, through a bond
ing scheme, to the payment of pri-
vate paving debts that caused the
defeat of the $15O,000 bond issue,
and not the status of the liquor
question in Eugene.
For the benefit of the Journal, II
might be stated here that local OPP
ton has come to stay in Eugene and
Lane county and is not to be side
tracked by any such misrepresenta-
ton as made by the Journal in the
above quotation.
Eugene will repudiate none of its
financial obligations, but will meet
them all intelligently. In doing this,
however, it will protect the rights
and interests of the taxpayers wher-
ever they appear. just as it did in
the bond election of March 2. ana

ton.

Identified With the

ton of the College Hill loop for the
bonus offered, has been given the OPP
portunity to make good by the Welch
people. Nothing so far has been
done by the Asset crowd towards
building the loop. The removal of
Manager Talbot, of the oregon Elec-
trio, and the affiliation of Mr.. Welch,
of the p. e. & E., and John F. Stew
ems, of the Hill interests, has caused
considerable speculation as to its sig
nificance.

number of Eugene people have re-
ceived "boost" literature from Salem.
One merchant questions the advisa-
bility of boosting. He says he contrib

which, in turn, brings competition to
Eugene to share in the profits. Why
should he hire a booster to bring
him competition. That's his way of
looking at it.
