CITY AND COUNTY. SATURDAY ...JULY 18, mo A New County. A conoMioudent of the Wst discus, s inieslion ibat aoom-r or later will be pim in lit'til um; unuioijr iuv I'mmug 01 county from (bona portion uf Laue Ui- and Uollgl" oouimc unit urn xiiu tunl l)i-ltte u the ocean aud Ibe i-o-t raiijjo.

From Florence to Euueue it i, Ml mill'", ami tbat for a considerable part of tbe distance turougu a mountainous country over roads that in winter, especially, make travel a hardship. A thriving couuty seat could be built on tbe Siuslaw tbut could be easily reached by the farthest inhabitant of the uew oonuty within forty utiles, while tbe great bulk o tbe people would be nearly ut tbe door of tbe county capital. Another year or two of iucrease of population and wealth along tbe coast, and tbe citizen of tbat seotiou will be asking for division When tbe proper time come we believe that tbe other part of Lime county will offer uo objection. Curry connty with bat 450 tote easily sustains a county organization. Tbe part of tbe new county lying in Lane, consisting of the precinct oi riorence, Mnpletou, Her inann, Lake Creok, and part at least of Glen tena. cant 312 vote for governor in June. The coast part of Douglas cant nearly as many votes. Tbe West correspondent Bays: Tbe rapid settling of thil part of tbe country calls for a nearer point to uo our publio busmen tbao either Eugene or Koseburg. Douglas county, owtug to tbe rapid increase iu popu lation in tbe north end, would not oppose a liberal alloc, say tue mouiu oi tilt creek being taken off into a new couuty. That would leave ber ample territory and would lessen the rink of a division farther south. That portion of Douglas and all of Laue west of the Coast Range of mountains would make a county second to only one on the coast in Uregon. k- ' Pleasant Hill Items. July 17th, 1890.

Mis A J Cruian is tiuite sick with inflara niatory rheumatism. We hope she will speed' ily recover. The farmers liereatiOuU are busy cutting the golden grain. Tbe West brothers are running two sell-hinders. Blackberries are alxmt gone, and now the , industrious housewife and her kids are gather ing in the nice raspberries. Fruit of all kinds will be very scarce here the present season, and we fear that the "big red apples" for which Oregon has always been famous will be aa scarce as hen s teeth. Bob Williams is engaged in cutting and driving logs for the new mill at Eugene. Some days ago when removing hi camp, by means of a skiff, the same upset and all the camping outht was lost, Loss near Siuo.

No. 2, We regret to say, was1 much more serious. While assisting in running their saw mill on Tuesday, Mr. 1 Kelly had the misfor tune to let his riitht hand come in contact with the saw. Kesult: Now he has but a thumb and a part nf the index linger on tbat hand. When holding forth to his congregation at Dexter, on Sunday lost, as we are informed, ltev. Gardner, in speaking of the approaching camp meeting, said that he hoped that the best of order would be maintained, but that a suf ficient body of police would be on hand to pre serve order. Perhaps the reverend gentleman U not aware, being a comparative stranger here, that there is no more orderly or better behaved people anywhere than at Pleasant UUI, and many thought that bis talk about police had better been unsaid, no thinks 0. K. A Modem Hotel Needed. Editor Guard: This town Is rapidly grow ing in population, but if we had a few needed improvements it would add twenty-five per cent to its population in the next year or two. The one thing most needed is a first class hotel with sll the modern improvements, and large enough to accommodate two or three hundred people. If we had such a hotel a irreat many people of means would come here to spend their vacation to enjoy this delightful climate. Such a hotel can be built for $50,000 nr $o0, OoO. Can't that amount be raised in Eugene? Nay a joint stock company is organized, can't 50,000 in stock be raised? The investment would pay a fair interest, liesides it would add 20 per cent to all the property in the city. Think over this matter, and let us move in that line. W. Creswell Items. The seven year old son of Mr. Buyder, who lives near tbe Gilfry ranch, met with severe accident from tbe kick of a young colt few days sinoe.
