It was written ly Mr. Alfred Ilolman, aaiociate editor of the Oregon ian: The grain in the Willamette Vll,y south of IlarriHhurg is not so far advanced as the lower oouidiee of Linn, Marion, Clackamas and Multno mah. Thern has Wn , rain hy aliout onethird and the fit-Ids are less forward in the same proportion. The difference appears even greater to one who travels through, due to the fact that there in more Fall sowing in the lower counties and more Spring sowing in the upper valley. The runs of last week, quite heavy and sufficient at Portland and Salem, were here only passing showers. They were hlessed indeed and did great good, hut the country iieedn as much more. Unless the weather should turn severely hot there is no immediate need, and two weeks of dry and moderately warm weather will tlo no harm. In Lane county thure is a great area of Spring sown gram now from two to xix inches out of the ground. The early open season enaMed farmers to outdo all former efforts, and the. acre age is said to he somewhere in the neighliorhood of 20 per cent, greater than that of any former vear. Eugene City "is the only town in tho valley which ia making notable pro gress in the matter of budding. I was there twenty-two months ago, and the usiness street has changed so much that I could scarcely recognizo. it as tha same, uight brick buildincs have if len put up for business purposes dur ing thut time, one of them three stories hiuh. Eugimo is one of tho oldest towns in the valley and its first store- huildins were cheap ouu-floor struo A..-..- ...... f.li: .- . .1 mi luri'n, nuir ittiiinjr mu uecay. inn city council hns established lines in cluding the main businesi street within which building of wood is prohibited, and as the old stores become too old r use or too hi call for increasing bus iness they have to lie replaced by brick or stone. Thm policy has resulted in the building up of a fine street which is a credit to the town and a safeguard ;iiinnt fire. Insurance rates have lien here, as brick lias taken the place of wood And the people are reap ing a very sulmtin';ial advantage from their own fop-sight and enterprise, Other towns would do well to follow a pattern resulting in many benefits. As the business center of Lans coun ty, Eugene enjoys a considerable pros- M-rity, nd has I wen less affected by he hard times thin any other town in he state excepting, perhaps, Astoria. ts trade has been fairly good all alon itnd is continually growing better. The Stute University affords Eugene City a good denl of profit. First, it provides a fine home scho-1, and sec ondly it brings a large trans ent popu lation which in the ceurst of a year it distributes a good deal of money. Be hides these tangible benefits there is another quite bh important, namely its social etlect, There are no betti r so cial influents anywhere than in Eu gene. The society is not a formal one, and gets on without kid gloves or swallow-tailed Roam, but it ts intelligent, refined and moral. There is no letter place to live and bring up a family, and this influence alone is attracting popu lation. Tlie University is not yet all thnt it ought to lie, or all that if will 'm-, but it ha" the phn, the organiza tion and tlie right' spirit. A second building, eat of the present college building, will le put' up during the coming summer, and the proposed new allotment of county scholarships will add largely to the attendance. It would greatly help th" dignity of tlie school and so add to its reputation and standing if th "preparatory depart ment" were done away with. The State University should not' bo a pri mary sehoo . Lane county is getting. a good share of new population. .From one to five families slop ofif every day at me or another of the stations, and all soon find satisfictory establishment Lane county has still a good deal of vacant land, but it lie far back in the foot hills or off toward the coast, and is chiefly valuable for range. The time will como in the future when the whole face of the country whl be covered with settlements, but while land in the valley can lie bought on easy terms set tiers will not go far from the railroads. Whoever would see the Willamette valley at its best should make the trip from Portland to Eugene City during the coming month. The fields .every where fresh in all tho varieties of green, the orchards full blown and lieautiful, th j hill sides decked with a thousand glories of color, the varying landscape, the distant mountains, and the rolling masses of silver clouds form a prospect as beautiful as heaven. And tha fragranco and the melodies of springtime are with it all. Hull jalnxt Sureilfi. Suits have Wit brought against tha sureties nn the official bond of the late A. B. Meacham, at one time Indian Agent in and for this State, to recover a sum in excesi of seven thousand dol lars alleged to be due from him to the Government of tho United States. During his term of office it became ap parent to several of his bondsmen that Mr, Mencham's mind had never fully recovered from the shock he received when ho was Iwaten and left for dead by the Modoc Indians, at the same time they murdered General Cauhy, They therefore notified the Secretary of the Interior to pay over no more funds into Mr. Meacham 'a hands or they would not be responsible for the consequences. In spite of this caution, the Indian department kept on paying him money for the Indiana in this State, for which he never accounted. He lived in Washington for years, ig noring his dutiful wife and three lov ing ehildrea.. He must have been in sane, very tearly. Wt have no idea that the Government wilt be able to recover a single dollar from his .sure ties, as he should have been removed from office, long before his term ex pired. His bondsmen were Philip Ritz, B. F. Dowell, Cyrus Olney, S. VVulliy, John If. Mitchell, John Cum in ins, S. S. Thompson, Sain'l Lyon, J. II. D. Henderson, George I. Hill and W. O. Langford. Chioeae Ilmd natling. A Kelung correspondent of the Hongkong Press gives the following details of Chinese head hunting: "The Chim-su have committed the most hor rible atrocities. The French cemetery has lieen violated iu a manner worthy of the lowest bar'mrians. The graves of the dead interred in the afternoon were found opened tho next morning And the corpses U-headed. This con tinued for a week. Although all means were employed to prevent and catch the violators, tho French did not succeed. This is how the Chinese acted; A dog was trained to go in ad vance of them, and if the dog found I lie cemetery deserted, the Chinese ad vanced, opened the graves and cut the heads off the corpses. If the cemetery' was guarded the dogs would bark and ' the Chinese retreat. You will thus' see that the Chinese had a regular system for head snatching, and it baf fled the French for some time. Now, however, a (tuard of fifteen men keeps watch over their departed comrades." aMBSSMnntasasMMMaHat Several Washington and Eastern Oregon editors have had to severely pound their man lately, Perhaps peo- ' pie will sometime learn that if they do a publio wrong that' the press will con demn them, and if necessary pound' them besidrs. The Agricultural board has decided ' in regard to tlie next State fair. Tea' thousand dollars will be given in pre miums. Of this $4,300 goes to the' race track. Is it for this that the " State gave $5,000 at the last session of ' the Legislature! "There comes that confounded colf lectbr," said the ColeneL "Ha has" been here twenty times within the post month. This is the first day oi April and I shall fool him." "How, Coloneir "By paying the bill." Ajiout $10,000,000 worth of cornets were sold in the United r"tati. last yvar.'
