THURSDAY
A Hit At Eugene. Ono would think
to read the Eugeno papers that all the
life in Oregon was centered in that citv.
It is a good city; but not so energetic
but what ' the Commercial Review of
Portland is ablo to say: Mr J. E. Dntcks,
of Los Angeles, California, who has had
an eye for some time on this stato with
the view of establishing a flouring 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!
solid and sulwtantial encouragement to
some one miller to go and locate there,
they will get a flour mill neither this
year or the next. The regular 'announce
ments coming from that town spaced
seven days apart saying "So-and-ao from
So-so 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
for "the store" in the morning staying
there till midnight in the hopes' of
"something turning up," this is just a
bit exaggerated, but the principle more
than fits Eugene. If the citizens of Eu
gene would assist Mr. Edris, who lost his
all when his mill burnt there, thev 1
would have a mill to be proud of in short '
order: he has been in business there lv-!

The Linn county division bill did not
pass the House asthe Dolph manager"
promised its friends, Tuesday night. It
was continued bv 26 to 23" and made
special order next Monday at 3 p. m.
Linn count v has about the same area of
arable land that Marion countv has i
and
not near the population that Marion
county has. A proposition to divide
Marion county would have about as
much merit.
Easiness men want trade, and they use
the newspapers as a medium to obtain it.
Advertising u a worthy of a study as any
part of a business, and our successful busi
ness men evidence that fact. Advertising
is aa much a necessity to business, in these
modern times, as a stack of poods. Unless
you can gain or induce a trade, there is no
aioixT in adtertising, so it should be studi
ed. There are thousands' of dollars worth
of shop worn good that would have been
sold years ago. bad they been advertised.
It is better bosiaess to advertise them at a
slight loss than it is to carry Ihem bopintr
for a demand that will never come. Create
a demand by advertising them at a low
fieura. Dispose cf tkem an! save money.
The continuous and judicious adrertiser
always has a fresh stock. Ex.

A GREAT SCHEME.
An Albany lawver 1ms a colossal
scheme in view. Though not kaowu
about here at home it is certainly worth
considering, as it would give, employ
ment to thousands of men. As a matter
of fact, though, there is nothing in it but
ink just now. The iaigene Uuard gives
the particulars and comments as follows :
The following letter was received this
morning bv County Judge Fisk, and ex
plains itself :
Albany, Ore., Feb. 5, 189.").
County Court, Lane County, Ore.
Gkntlemkn: A movement is on foot
to build a bicycle road-from Oregon City
to Eugene, pfank six feet wide, if right
of way can be secured. The object is to
build "it along the side of county roads by
nost direct route. Koad to lie tolled lor
bievelists but free to school children and
pedestrians. All crossings to bo kept in
repair at the expense of the company.
Please let mo know the pleasure of the
county court, in a general way, after the
next session. Resnectfully'Yours,
C. II. Dalrymm-b.
RMr. Dalrymple is a prominent attor
ney of Albany, and the road proposed in
his' letter is a very feasible and practical
one. Bicyclists, by jMiving a small toll
over this road could ride easily the en
tire length of the road almost any day in
the year, and the walk Iwing free to
pedestrians means something as well
The originators of the comimnv. their

Ax Kirxssivc Walk. Our exchanges
are taking that bicycle sidewalk between
Oregon City and Eugene seriously. The
Eugene Register savs : Tlie plan to build
a six foot sidewalk from this citv to Ore
gon City, along the orwnty roails, would
involve a great acai oj exjic-nse. . gen
tleman in this city has figured out that
the cost of the lumber alone, at 4 per
thousand, would Iw less than i2,000.
Add to this the cost of nails. laW. etc..
and the proposed walk could not be laid
lor less than 1 100.000. This amount ot
money, if expended on a macadamised
road, would build a pretty good one be
tween I nc two cities, and would lunmn
a thoroughfare for more than pedestrians
and bicyclist. The expense ot collect
ing Uie toll from bicyclists would un-
doubtediv be more than the receipts, so
it would be an expensive luxurv. It will
be many a dav. before we will see this
plan materialise.

The Trouble At The Central.
Editor Democrat :
I noticed in your paper of Inst Wed'
nesdav an lti-m nlioiit. "(lnp PnUi.
Schools" in which vou say that the re
cent trouble at tho Central school turned
out to be a very mild affair, the reports
being exaggerated and nothing having
been done but what was iustifvable. You
certainly must have received your infor
mation from .some one interested in
keeping tho matter hushed un. Aa the
pupil that received the punishment is an
orphan girl, and has no relative to take
iirr in, leei u my duty, as she is
living at mv home, to see that alio at
least gets justice in our newsnaners.
That the girl needed punishment I w ill
not deny, though she tells me tltat she
did not understand the question pro.
pounded to her by her teacher. Be that
as it may tho punishment could not be
called mild, as the teacher caught her
violently by the hair, anil pounded her
on the head with a wooden ruler and
aim on the bands and face, the marks of
which could lie seen for several days. I
would like to know how this can be
characterized as a "mild affair" or noth
ing more than was justiilahle. The
woman that did it maybe a good teach
er, but I can't think that she has very
good control over her temper, and the
tchool authorities should see to it that
she either curbs her temper in the future
or give way to some one else that can
govern a school without resorting to such
i-utragcoufl methods. K. L. Powot.

Dime Novel Teacher.
Countv schools particularly need bet
ter teachers. Some now emnloved are
certainly wry rocky; bat it is not prob-
e there are manv like the one toM
about by the Corvaliis Times: A report
of an entrgetic district schoolmaster
comes from an outlying district in Ben
ton ccunty. One dav last Autumn the
county superintendent knocked at the
door of the school hou5e for admission.
and after kw or fire distinct alarms had
been sounded the door opened. andthere
stood the teacher, novel in hand. All of
the seats were empty save one, and that
was occupied py a angle email boy.
"Where are the "rest of vour papils?"
asked the superintendent. "Gone for a
bucket of water" replied tbe teacher.
The superintendent decided t wait for
the rest of the school to co:..e back so
that he could visit them, as I sat down.
Time wore on ami as he waited he figur
ed out that from the amount of dirt on
it. the floor had not been swept since
school began. A three dollar clock hung
on the will, but a few days before a boy
had poured a bottle of ink in it and the
time could not lie told. "Sav, teacher
vou didn't have me recite between re
cess and noon," sang out the boy in the
corner. "Yes, I did' said the teacher
but the superintendent knew that the
little fellow told the truth and that the
pedagogue wanted the fact concealed.
After titty minute passed the rest of the
school returned with its backet of water.
There were only two of them and they
with the boy in the corner made three,
the total a-tendance at that school,
w here recitations waited until interest
in the novel subsided. Tlie school began
with sixteen, but no wonder that it
dwindled to three before the term ended.
