I Eugene City Guard. tUTUBDAY NOVEMBEB 81, HS'Jl The Eugene public schools main- lain a high standard oi ewx-uwiuc. ttrnzil'a revolution seems to be flourishing. It will probably cm in ilia recall of the kind old cm peror, Uom Pedro. A republic cannot be founded on ignorance. The New York mugwump wil be in sorry fix at the next prctti dential election. All parlies are inn eorrunt for him. It matters little what he docs, as his numlx is small. Eugene has excellent summer streets. Hereafter our energies should be directed to securing winter Hrwt. The nrescnt is good time to mako observations and see what is needed. It is evi dent that nothing but cleun gravel should bo UHcd for the top dressing. Where half the material is loam and rutii 1 cwxl winter roads may not be expected. Almost any street will answer in summer. There is nothing so unprofitable as tho old-fuHhioned dirt roau. ii r. Tonon TV Pnttar. Secretary of the New York State Roads Improve Association, has written an admirable articlo on this phase of the topic which opjiearB in the November numlcr of the Forum. IIo makes an assertion which will hardly bo denied by any ono whose experience enables him to contrast good roads with bad, that "the American common road may right fully assert itself as tho most ex pensive and by all odds tho most extravagantly maintained of all tho publio institutions." He says further, and it is equally true, that "an amazing share of this cost (of hauling farm products to tho near est market town) is made up by tho difficulties of wagon road trans portation, necessitating scant loads, long delays, mud blockades, break downs and extra trips." The profit of good roads is at onco realized. England and Wales maintain their system of roads for 4,000,000 a year. Franco main tains 190,000 miles of road at 118, 000,000. At tho rate of expendi tures for highway purjroses, in a isnglo town of Westchester county where tho roads are very bad the annual cost of maintaining 130,000 miles 'of common dirt road would be more than 70,000,000 This indicates sufficiently tho public profit from good roads, whilo the pofit of individual property-owners is almost incalculable. Eugene. Florence West. ; ' Ono year and a half works wonders even In the Improved appearance of a elty. After a lapse of the alvo men tioned period, we return to Eugene atiej ore OHtonlMlied to be unable to set any bounds to the eueroaclinients made on familiar BtreeU by rojrnHlve men. There were new brick blocks on main thoroughfares, wooden structure for bUNlniDM purposes 011 otnor streets, ele gant residences in all parts of the elty, uro lights, street railway and boys ery lng: "Yer dally evening Uuakd," anil the whole situation of little over a year ago became changed. Perhaps the greater change of all Is the.largu num ber of strange faces to lie met with on all streets and engaged In all avoca tions, while artlstlcully fitted store rooms and mammoth stocks of goods where Improved nietropolltlon methods are adopted for their sale cause the alwentee of so short a time to wonder if this Is the Eugene of only a few days ag I Then we bear new railroad and telegraph lines talked of as a necessary adjunct to present and future develo ments, and when these plans are con summated, It will render Eugene wim ble of being a commercial center and distributing point for a much larger territory, and the proposed railway to tho sea at Florence, when completed, will place Eugene In a position to la come powerfully aggresHlve when she cornea to try commercial conclusions with her sister towns In the valley.
