A Good "Guess" Takes the Cake. A
somewhat new novelty for this town has just
rrived at the "City Grocery." They have
on hand a new cigar, called the "Guess,"
fcompauied by a set of dishes numbering
lorty-four pieces. There is a bottle of beans
ith them, sealed so that no one can tell the
lumber of beans in the bottle. Any one
nyiug six cigars for 25 ct., has a right to
guess at the number of beans. When the
"Sars are all sold, the seal is broken and the
wins couuVed, and the one who guesses
nearest to the number of beans gets the set
of dishes. Come, now, and buy your luck.

uatob's addbrss.
To the Honorable Council of the City of
Eugene, Gentlemen : The charter makes it
my duty as President of the Council to sub
mit to you the financial and general condi
tion of the city, and to make any recommen
dations for your general weal. It affords me
great pleasure to again proclaim to you the
healthy and prosperous condition, both ns to
nuances and improvements of our btautiful
city, situated at the head of the Willamette
valley and surrounded by nature s adorn
ments, consisting of varied landscape and
terraced hills, with the grand old mountains
and an occasional snow-capped peak for a
background, affording those with an eye for
the beautiful a pleasing picture.
improvements are in a continuous stato of
progression. Many hne brick buildings now
occupy the places of the old frame structures,
while others have filled vacant lots on our
business streets and dwellings of more or
less pretentions have gone np in every direc
tion. Our city boundaries have been ex-
teuded to take in the several additions until
now they reach from east to west nearly two
miles. During the past year a franchise was
granted the Eugene Water Co.; also the
Eugene Electric Light Co. The Water Co.
have nearly completed their system. Pipes
ave been laid and the water turned in. 1 he
Electric Co. will, I have no doubt, have their
plant in during the summer, so that iu the
matter of light and water we will not be be
hind some of our older sister towns, and I
hope our citizens will avail themselves of the
facilities for beautifying their homes, for
these embellishments not only add beauty
but a real value to property.
At the beginning of last year we had a
balance iu the treasury of $2,313.88, and not
deeming it necessary to accumulate a fund
was thought a two-mill tax would be sum-
cieut to run the city, which subsequent
events have shown to be correct. The total
receipts for the year were J'5,204.87 and dis
bursements $0,8.41, or $1'J3.51 more than
the receipts, which anion ut, taken from the
balanee on hand leaves 2,2jO..J4. I here is
delinquent tax of nearly $300. These
figures show that with a reserve on hand a
two-mill tax is barely sufficient to run the
citv, Imt as we now have on band $2,250.31,
omens some improvements are undertaken a
two-mill tax will be sufficient for the coming
year.
The old charter having been fouud defect
ive in many instances was revised and so
amended by the last legislature that it may
be neees.iry to re-naet some ot the ordi
nances passed nnd r the old charter. I
would then-fore cull the attention of the
jadiciarv committee to this matter, as also
uie auvmauuiij vi re-e.xuijiug iuc iuwu.
! The tiro department and apparatus is iu
' npparuiit eflleii nt condition, not a winglu lire

inu streets and alleys Have, in eonse-

queine of the laying of water pipes and
material occupying a portion of tlicni, street
Improvement beginning too late to finish, put
our streets during the winter in a bud condi
tion. Legal grades have been established on
all of the principal streets, a good deal of
b nniug uus ncsn none during me summer,
and we are glad to note that the property
holders, with only one or two exceptions",
have complied with the orders with a willine-
ncss that shows they have an appreciation of
Koou sireeis. i believe there is liothmg will
mwiiei uie auenuon ol a stranger sooner
when entering a city, town or villago than
bad streets. Therefore, if tho streets are in
good shape and well kept it make a
favorable impression, and l"oks liko thrift,
aim i nave no doubt :hv sir -1 commissioner
will give the mutter iiis attei.iiou.
The most important probh ;u for you to
solve, and one wl.i , h even now begins to
loom np lor your coum li'vaiuvi, is that of a
system of sewerage. Ther i ore three plans
which suggest themselves to me : oim by
means ol the old sewer,ou tho north sidu of
town, by filling it up to increase the fall and
by extending the sewer pipe to tho river, and
by turning it parrallel with the current of the
river. This would necessitate the tilling up
of the low grouud which will eventually have
to be dono. Another plan is n sewer in n
northwest course to tho river west of the
butto. I authorized the chuinimu of the
committee on streets to have this route
leveled, and he tells me that a fourteen foot
fall can be obtained. If the distance does
not compromise the fnll it would afford the
most reliable plan. The expense would how
ever be groat. The other plan is by sewer in
a southwest course to the ditch south of
town.
Another matter I will mention, not that
there is any need of immediate action, but
merely to get the matter before the people,
and that is a city cemetery. At present
there nro two small ones lielonging to the
Masonic and Odd Fellow societies, in each
of which there is a small piece set apart for
the public use, or for thnso who nro not able
to purchase a lot. These grounds may not
always be accessablo to the publio. I don't
remember to have ever hearj this matter
talked of, but I think tho day is not far iu
the future when we will need a publio bury
ing ground.
As the tuwn improves it would bo well to
look after tho Uro limits. I therefore call
your attention to this matter.
The annual city election just held passed
off in the usual quiet uianuer, resulting in
the re-election of all the old members, which,
we presumo, was because they wanted us to
finish up our course already mapped out.
So while all needed improvements should
have our attention, and all manufacturing
iutercst encouraged, we should remember
that us corporations increase and public
improvements go on, the treasury generally
decreases.
I am glad to say in conclusion, that our
people are in the mam peaceable, nidus
trious, and good morals are tho rule. We
hear of no difficulties lwtwecn labor and cap
ital, betwetu the employeraud the employee;
we hear of no Boi-ret organization to coerce
the one or the other, and trust that our
people will profit by the experience of such
organizations in other places, and that tho re
action is always against them. We havo our
poor among us, but I hear of no case of des
titution, and where a caso of want is mndS
kuown our people are always ready to
respond.
'ei. ....1 !..,in, :u ,.i
I thank yon, gentlemen, for your uniform
courtesy to me, and trust that our future
deliberations will be as harmonious as in tho
past. F. B. DUNN.
