The usual dry wiuter telegrams are being sent to the Sau Francisco paper from all points of thu interior of the golden state. They all run about like this: "A light shower of rain began falling last evening and con tinued throughout the night. At present thero is a brisk south wind and good in dications of more rain. Farmers are jubi lant." Oregon farmers do not realize the inteuse anxiety with which his brethren of California watch the clouds every year at thisseasou. Ail that keeps our state aud our county from being thickly settled with Califoruiaus is that our southern neighbors aie i-ubliincly ignorant of the oceans of rich soil by which we aro surrounded where man never get np nights to looks for clouds which do not appear, while the grain they have sown rots for want of moisture. 0, California! treacherous climate, monopo lised and Chinese-ridden, distance leuds en chantmeiit to one who has made his home in Oregon. Our Eastern brethreuwe would ask: Why do you stay in the States to be devoured by grasshoppers; to be curried away iu a blizzard; to shake eternally with ague wheu you can come to a place which promises immunity from these ever threat ening calamities, mosquitoes, malaria, bliz zards nre unknown.

If our local papers wera liuerallv bind lor advertising the advantages of our state and thousands of copies sent East to people who are tired of living thtro, then our county and our state weuld soon he filled with weary homeseekers. We want our stale filled with honest, industrious, tem perate people. Let our people advertise our our advantages by contributing to the sup port of their local papers. llernUt the ad vantages of our state aud soon tho tide of immigration will vastly increase and a gtand boom will be the consequence. Not only a boom, but homeseekers can procure a home in a mild climate, a fertile, healthy anil prosperous county. Our climate is mild in wiuter, having but little snow and cold weather; and again iu summer the weather is very cool and tranquil. In Lane couuty the timber clad ridges produce an enormous quantity of timber suitable for the lumber ina industry, while the river bottom lnnd produces un imineuse quautity of anything planted, great ears of corn, large heads of wheat, mammoth spuds and collotsal heads of cabbage. In fact, and in a few words, Oh egon is a haven of security for the rich tuau and n pauidise for the poor man. Uno Hco. Ladies of Eugene and Vicinity.

Prof. Straab wat ubscut from his duties one day last week on account of sickness. Darwin and Fred looked just like two little piuk rosebuds lust Friday evening. Mr. Porter hit returned from his trip down the valley, aud it now distributing hi patent blotter. We understand that the old schedule will lie used next term, which cnaugo will meet the approval of all we believe. Misa Kate Dorris returned home last Tues duy from Furmiugtou, W. T., where she hits been teaching music for the yPtst five mouths. We hear that two or three students are making plans (or a trip to Europe during the coming summer vacation. A pleasant journey to you boys. Mark, like the brave boy he is, carried hi gun with the other boys down to the depot the other day, but he was even braver than they, for he risked being lute iu order that he might procure au overcoat and umbrella to keep hi guu dry. Mr. Nash baa withdrawn his name from our University roll, and is now in Corvallis, his home, whence he expect to leave for r.tirope next mount.

K. Woodworth; Cen son, F. M. Mulkey; Sergeaut-at-arma, O. C. Wilsou. The class expecting to graduate in 18!H, have quite a goal to reach, since theirs is the iuitiul year into the plau of determining tho commencement exercise of the graduate by his standing during the collegiate course. To some students who receive high marks through no particular credit to themselves, this plan is a pleasing one, but to those who, study as they may, uever can make a credit able recitation, the prospect of beiug an nounced to deliver only a second-class ora tion on commencement day is no desirable one. But taking it for granted that all are classed under the head of those who both receive high marks nud obtain them by hon est hard study, we are ull sure to be pleased with the change, and none but purely philo sophical orations will be delivered from the rostrum of our Alma Muter in future year. The fancy drest party last Friday evening' was, we believe, voted a success. Quite a number of luvited guests were present with the students and members of the societies. The costumes were tasteful, and many of them beautiful, representing characters all the way from a typical country boy to the Queen Esther herself. As uo masking was allowed, the company was entirely free from anyone whose congenially with the others present could beat all doubtful. Altera short programme rendered by members of the Eu taxutn society, the distribution of presents from a small Christmas true began, This tree was prepared iu honor of the Laureau society aud some of the gifts were quite apropos, as for example, an American eagle and a silver snoou. During the evening Messrs Winter A Brown took a photograph of those present In costume, grouping them upon the stage. Musia was rendered through out the evening, aud at the required hour, all left for home feeling well pleased with the evening spent. Ticket-ot Leave-Man. In reply to a question of the Gdahd man concerning the forthcoming "Ticket-of-Leave-Mun," Mr. Ernest Bros laid: "Yes, sir, I am determined to give the people of this town a chance to see a first-class per formance. I have changed,' the dates to a time when uolhing occurs near to it either before or after, f have put the price dowu so that all can go. Wbut I propose to give it the best show that has been seen in Eugene. It is s well kuown fact that when stars like Booth or Barrett or Warde pluy country circuits their support is necessarily cheap and weak. My pluy is not a one-mau sliow like llumlet or Uicbitrd 111. a tliey are played by star. The "Tickct-of-Lave Mau" ha fotir lauding male characters and tht leading female characters which divide th honors alxiut equally, aud afford a good scope for a strong and evenly balanced ama teur performance. My know lunge of our local taleut has enabled me to oast the piece discriminatingly. Iu the alternating nappy and wretched lot of Bob Brierly, Mr, Howard has a part peculiarly fitted to him. Mr. Condon is laying hold of the thrilling situations of Hawkshaw the detective with wonderful power. Louiu O'Brien's remark able vein of comedy is turned to good uo- couut in tbe "sbecney, 31 rs. vs. xayior will deliuht bur many frieud in her clever impersonation of May Edwards, Miss Nettie Clever as th talkative old lady will score a decided hit, and I do not see how anyone could get any more (uu out ol nam Yt 11 loughby than Miss A brums does. I am go ing to wske your people up in this play aud I want them to come out aud tee for them selves." Hn WsioHr. Mr. Sampson McCon nell, Superintendent of the county poor farm, informs ns that on the 1 Ith day of last April be bought a tow and eight pigs, the pigs at that time being about ten days old.
