X. CAPITAL CITY NEWS. Recital oT the Daily Doings Compiled From Various Sources. Happenings Ucr tlio City and From the Country. News THE SUBSIDY IS COMPLETE. Arrangements Now Being Made to Es tablish the Mill. Nasty. Thero is one thing we wish to notice and hope this will uttract the attention of those whoso business it It to see to it. We refer to the foul condition of some parts of some streets. Aud especially do wo refer to those numerous little ponds covered with a disgusting green slime, such as those on Court street and Commercial, southeast corner. A few wagon loads of dirt would fill up the depressions and perhaps it would bo well to mingle some un slacked lime with the dirt. What would strangers think on seeing these abomnable frog ponds close up to the busiest sidewalks, week after week. Another thing there must be some broken or leaking pipes or hydrants near by or else tho street along that block could not remain Buch a perfect bog during all these weeks of dry weather. This must bo seen to. Wo have hinted at it more than once. It is at the request of many pooplo that we. say this. There are many other places be- aldes that need attention. As announced In tho Capitax Jouunai. on Saturday evening, tho $20,000 subsidy for the Salem woolen mills is raised, and the Immediate construction of an extensive woolen manufactory In the capital city is an assurance. Tho soliciting executive committee held a meeting Saturday night and decided upon this after noon as the time for a meeting of the subscribers and election of a board of trustees into whose hands the funds and general arrangements will bo given. Mr. Kay has been informed of tho completion of tho bonus and will leave shortly for London, where ho will make the purchase of tho latest improved ma chinery. Before leaving, however, he will seo that construction of the buildings is well under way, so that by the time of tho arrival of tho looms, jacks, etc., tho factory will bo ready to receive them. THE CITY OP THE VALLEY. Eugene a Busy, Bastling City, Rich in Promise. Tbe Peaceful Oregon. Was there ever a lovelier day titan yesterday ? Dawn broke and the first rays of the sun sparkled upon a white frost, which rapidly disappeared in tho calm atmosphere, while tho sun mounted higher, and shone tho livelong day from the clearest, brightest sky ever seen. By noon tho meicury was up to 60 and by 2 p. m. to 70 ! A very re markablo fact at this season. Kyoryoody who could get out was oft'for the hills of Polk eounty over tho river. Tn tho translucent at mosphero all tho mountains to the east wore plainly visible; behind them Jeirerson'H abrupt peak rose up bilghtly white, while old Hood, towering overall, seemed as if but three or four miles oil, all tho vast high plateau on which ho lcsts ua like himself, being clothed in agauncnt of untrodden snow, whoso every fold and wrinkle wcio outlined with u vivid distinctness absolutely ns touihlug when thejvast distanco is oonsldoied. People from tho cold not th west say they never saw a brighter sky on the coldest, clearest winter day. Uetrgla lllntstrels. The Georgia Minstrels give a first rate entertainment, that wo will say and adyise any one who wants to laugh till his buttons burst off and his sides ncho again to hear Billy Kersands and George Jackson. Though the former supriscs as well as amuses wo tuink lor steady de lightful amusement tho humor of Jackson is the finer entertainment. Thero is comedy in tho easiest tones of his voice We aro nothing if not critical and will suggest that the minstrels drop their sentimental lugubrious songs that have come in to fashion to please lack-a-daisical fools and give the public moro of the Old Dan Tucker style of melo- dies. We are not mistaken. Fash- Ion may como and go, but tho world can never seo tho immortal Jim Crow aud Cool White of our old men's boyhood timo surpassed. Tlioso old-tlmo plantation melodies! Ah! never can they wear out their welcome. NEATIIEK KEI'OKT. An lupoitaut Need. No part of this state is so deeply interested in having a first-class harbor on the Pacific coast, and rail way communication tuorewitli as tho Willamette valley. Then all 1'astern Oregon has nearly the same interest, and one that grows with every accession to its population. What a wonderful change it would make. Tho first point where a good wvfu harbor can be made will become u largo city, taking on an inordiuato growth from tho very start. Tlioso who live to seo this accomplished will see wonders In this valley. Tbe l.a Crtole Aciileni). At Dallas Sat in day night tho mass convention of cltions resulted in the determination to construct n fine academy building soon.

Eoi.a, March 2, 1889. Lucky Happening. This morning a lady and gentle man were standing at tho corner of Stato and High streets waiting for a street car to the' depot, and while waiting tho lady laid her purse and gloved on tlio folice. When tho car came along sho forgot tho articles am did not realize, tho fact until she had reached the depot. Win. Cook of Cook's hotel happened to see the articles as ho left for tho depot and secured them and took the next car and delivered them to tho anxious owner. Mr. Cook 'was heartily thanked forbids kindness and the lady took her dopaituro from tho de pot in a mueh happier mood than upon her arrival. Imrrarement.U N'orlh Salem. 11. D. Teeter of Nebraska, to-day purchased through Duncan, Ellis & Booth, two very fine building lots in iorui baiem, aim will proceed, as soon as possible to erect a good sub stantial resldonco. Mr, Teeter is a wldo-uwake, onergctlo young inau, ami oaiem oxionas to an sucu a hearty welcome. An Insane l'atleut. Sheriff Zoeth Houser came in from Umatilla county this morning with Luke, Kuykendall patient for the Insane asylum. The committed man has insanity of a mild type, not very dangerous. His insanity Is tho uuiko of too much whiskey. Lane county is one of which Oregon may be justly proud. Nest ling at tho base of Skinner's Butte, on tho banks of the majestic Wil lamette, Is Eugene, the county seat, which beautiful little city is boom ing along with other portions of tho state. Tlio lato legislature dealt kindly with her and changed her name from Eugene City to Eugene. It also gave the State University greaj; impetus by making tho schol arships free. Tho result of this will be felt with the beginning of 1890, when tho now ruling goes into effect, at which ttnio the enrollment will be greatly increased. Tho attendance is now good, but will build up rapidly. Bcal estate values there are rapid ly appreciating and the number of sales is a good increase over former years. Values are normal and prop erty is worth every dollar it brings. One substantial feature is that many, in fact a majority, of tho Bales are to new-comers who stpp thero to live and make their homes. Thero is not a vacant dwelling In the city and dozens of now resi dences aro under course of construc tion in all parts of tho city. Among other evidences of prosper ity, it may be remarked that a street! railway company has but recently been incorporated and will, at an early day construct a line of street railway from the depot to the University. An ice manufactory is soon to be established and will furnish congeal ed coolness to the denizens of the valley, both near and tar. The fac tory will have a capacity of seven tons per day. A telephone aud electric fire alarm system is among tho contemplated improvements. There is little doubt but that a new court house, to cost $ 60,000 will bo built dining the coming summer. There 1b also in contemplation the construction of several substantial brick blocks In the early spring. That Eugene is making grand strides forward Is apparent to tho observer. And that she is at the head of a grand valley and backed by as productive a country as the sun ever shone upon none can dis pute. Why should sho not boom? Echo answers, "Let her boom !'' and she boometh. LOCAL SUMMARY. For your Paints', Oils, etc., go to Gilbert & Patterson's. d-lm For Sale A good riding pony. Call at this office. tf.
