Two stretches of cement walk
on the east side of Second street
between Van Buren and Harri
son prove only too conclusively
that the city should handle the
walk business. These two
stretches are not connected with
other cement walks and are not
connected with each other. Not
only that, but they are built a
foot or more above the other
"walk near. The enterprise of
the people who have put in' the
new walk is to be commended,
but it is certain that no good
purpose is served as the situa
tion stands. The city should
have charge of walk building
and then construct this walk in
districts covering an entire
Street or a given portion. In
this way uniformity may be se
cured, the streets need not be
torn up periodically, and. there
is a much better chance of get-
tincr the best work done. It
. takes time to remake a city, and
we are familiar with the fact
that the council hopes to work
out this problem at some time,
"but these facts are printed oc
casionally lest the council forget.

- - Eugene Register Says: ...
Merging of the Willamette
Valley Company of Oregon, a
Welch manager, into the North
western Corporation with five
million dollars capital behind it,
is probably a matter of greater
significance to this valley than
t T, . , ,
many people suppose. It includes
i 1 . 1 1 i 1 1 J
tne ngnt, power and gas piants
at Albany, Corvallis, Springfield,
Eugene, Dallas, Manmouth and
Independent the Portland, Eu-
gene & Eastern, the Salem,
Ai
bany and Eugene Electric lines.
It also includes light, power and
gas plants outside the state.
"Whatever is said of Mr. j
Welch it is due him to say that
he has been a real booster for
Oregon in promoting these big
enterprises that promise to cul
minate with an electric line be
tween Portland and Eugene, a
line up the McKenzie and other
branches throughout .the valley
with up-to-date streetcar systems
in the leading cities. . '
While there is yet no positive
evidence to confirm it there is a
widespread belief that Jim Hill
is interested in the newly formed
corporation and that the Oregon
Electric is to be a part of the
system which is to give to this
valley as fine an electric railroad
system as is found anywhere in
the Union.
"Jt is highly .probable that
some valuable information will
be given out to the public in this
connection at an early date. Mr.
Welch is expected in Eugene in a
short time when it ; is hoped he
will be in position to give to the
people of this section the much,
desired infomation in this respect. :
' 'One thing is certain, there
is now sufficient funds behind
the Welch propositions in this
valley to combine them into a 1
great electric system and the
power being developed at Mar-!
tin's Rapids on the McKenize is
to cut quite a figure in the enter- j
prise." '

DUCEY, FRIEND OF POOR.
Glimpses of Beloved Priest Who Was
Foe ot Corrupt Bosses.
- Early in Uis' pastorate the Rev.
Thomas J. Ducey. founder aud pastor
of St. Leo's Uoman CatUolic cburch in
New York and because of bis individ
uality and methods one of t tie note
worthy clergymen in the Dnited States,
who recently died in .his country home
at St James. N. v., .was known as "the
ecclesiastical dandy." but as he went
on in bis work i be less frivolous title
.of "the priest of the genteel" was sub
stituted. The results of his powerful
and beneficent Influence was never suc
cessfully attacked. He worked in the
pastures iu his own way. and souje. If
not many, did not understand bis way.
From the pulpit of bis church Father
Ducey raised his' voice for political
purity, fought the Tweed ring in its
day. assailed Tammany Hall and struck
at the trusts.
Father Ducey was born in Lis more.
Ireland. Feb. 4. 1843. He was brought
to the Dnited States at the age o
five by his widowed mother. Judge
Thomas T. Brady met the boy. . took
a liking to him and adopted bim. and
be was brought up among luxurious
surroundings. On the death ot Judge
Brad his ward came into a large for
tune. " , .
ThomiH .!. Dm-ey studied in St. Fran
cis Javier's co'lif-jre, but. left It with
out tv-ing graduated in onler to take
up law in the offices nt his benefartor.
He deserted law to study for the uriest-
bood and was ordained in 18U5 in St.
Joseph's semiuary. Troy. He was as
signed to the old Nativity church, in
Second avenue. New York, and after
a brief stay went to St. . Michael's.
There be permitted himself the com
parative extravagances which would
not have attracted attention to a lay
man, but were conspicuous in a priest.
His clothes were faultless, and he drove
a carriage which was perhaps the
'snappiest" turnout in Central park.
Next he gained the reluctant consent
of the church authorities to establish
St. Leo's. Soon after' the church's
dedication on Sunday. May 1, 1881,
Father Ducey was credited with pro
pounding the following conundrum:
"Why is St. Leo's church like a well
known New York theater?" Answer
"Because it has a tony pasfr. '
Father Ducey could be found in the
clubs along Fifth avenue or at fes
tivities in the homes of social leaders
when not iu his rectory. He was as
much a man of the world as a priest
can be.
He was a delightful host. His food
was excellently ordered and his wines
mellow. Men of iutellect prized bis
invitations. The poor were assured of
welcome in bis church, but whether be
loved or pitied them was a distinction
which bis best friends have discussed.
Father Ducey bad only one strong
bobby. That like Oscar Hammer
stein's was bis bat He invariably
wore , a tall silk, bat with a narrow.
straight brim that was altogether out
of keeping with the rest of bis usually
smart attire. That bat was the joke,
of all the clubs and hotels. Hundreds
of times friends laughingly offered to
give bim orders for a lifetime of
bats from some fashionable sbop. but
Father Ducey clung to bis peculiar old
tile. And be laughed at it himself as
much as any one else did.
About a month ago. soon after his
fatal illness became grave, it was nec
essary for Father Ducey. to undergo a
serious operation. , He refused anaes
thetics, saying' be wasn't going to die
unconscious of death. If he bad to die
be wanted to know what death was
like. He was a gentleman unafraid.
"Father Tom." as be was known af
fectionately among rich and poor, gave
generously to bis church and to chari
ties from bis private means. It was
announced recently that be bad willed
his fortune to the cburcb.
