Eugene City and University.
A correspondent of the Scout, published
at Union, gives the following comtilimeiitary
notice of Eugene n'nd the State, University:
A person visiting Eugene City, j udging
from the large number of commodious brick
business houses iu construction or just boing
finished, aud the many elegaut residences
throughout the suburbs that have been built
during the summer, would certainly receive
the impressioa that the boom had at last
reached the Willamette valley. But on in
vestigation one finds that nearly every new
business block has been erected by men who
have been engaged iu business here for years
simply a growth of business, and a desire
to keep abreast of the times.
The University of Oregon has given nn
impetus and progress that is truly wonderful.
Fifty thousand dollars per annum tluown
into circulation by the students alone, ia oue
of the main factors in the problem. Know
ing a steady and permanent growth is theirs,
yet the people of Eugene are anxiously
awaiting the completion of the O. & C. rail
road when the professional boomers of Cali
fornia are expected to move north. Every
thing hero is f ivorable for them, yet it will
be a day "big wilb the fate of Cnto and of
Rome" when they take possession of Eu
gene. The University of Oregon was uever iu a
more nourishing condition. The attendance
is laigr than any former year, aud facilities
for higher education are being rapidly in
creased. It is gradually beiug rccognizml
as l In- leading educational institution ou the

larger lhan any other University iu the

Vale Hogan.
The trial of the notorious Hogan which
was being held as we weut to press last week
was concluded by that festive and versatile
gentleman being held uudei $3n0 bonds to
interview the graud jury next April. Another
complaint was sworu to and Mr. 11 gun was
rearrested. He waived examiuatiou and was
placed under an additional f 300 bond. He
haunted the streets Saturday and Sunday in
search of boudsmea but failei) till Sunday
evening when be secured the uames of W.
11. Hotlman of Junction and W. II. Abrams
of Eugeue to become responsible for his
appearance. He took the California Express
south the same evening and most probably
we have seen the last of the smooth tougued
Hogan.
The trial developed the fact that the wheat
he delivered to the farmers at the fancy price
of $.i per bushel was purchssed by him of
Mr. So. ith near Oregon City for" NO cents
per bushel, and shipped direct from Barlow
station to the purchasers, and was not what
he represented it to be, but an entirely diff
erent variety. The State was represented In
the trial by Messrs. Hilyeu and Fenton, and
the defense by Latourette of Oregon City and
Washbiirne & Woodcock.
Disastrous Fire.
About midnight Saturday night our citi
zens were aroused by the cry of "fire" aud
the ringing o( the tire bell, In a short time
the streets were crowded with excited people
who were not long iu locating the scene of
the fire as almost before the bell had ceased
riuging tho fine uew residence of Dr. Slid
tou situated on a ttrraco on Skinner's Butte
showed fire from basemeut to roof. The
tire companies were promptly on hand but
could do dothiug aa no water was available.
Iu a short time the finest residence in Eu
gene was reduced to cinders and ashes. The
building was almost completed but had not
vet been turned over by the contractors.
Mi ssrs. Roney and Abrams, who had $1000
insurance on it. (2000 insurance had ex
pired at noon before the fire The total loss
is in the neighborhood of )7,000. It is al
most certain that the oiigiu of the fire was
incendiary as there had been uo fire around
the building that day. A traiu of freight
cars acioss the side track interfered with the
lading of the hose by the Firemen.
