LOCAL BUSINESS CHICLES.
Euffene as a Trading Point.
Tb rapid development of renewed life
In boainefs circles here during the post
few dsys has led us lo make an investiga
tion in order to ascertain if possible if it was
due lo a temporary condition of affairs or
tbe natural resolt of permanent conditions.
We find the result comes from both cauwi.
Of Ihe temporary conditions we have in the
fiiat place tbe lime of year when tbone en
gaged iu agricultural pursuits have just
beeu harvesting the season's crops and are
now engaged more or leas in marketing the
same. Then we have the pickers just
Ibrougb witb Ihe bop fields, who are here
spending tbe money earned there to lay in
their winter's supplies Tbe purchases of
nearly sll of these nro lurger now from tbe
fact tbal Ibeir labor bas kept them from
trading in town tor seveial weeks past. Put
aootbt-r of tbe temporary conditions end
the one (hut seems lo us lo have the great
est import is, that a condition of affairs bas
come uloiil bi b nmkes Eugene just now
the best trading point in Oregon
south of Portland. One of tbe largest bus
iness estublibhmeats in Ihe city bad lo be
closed out by the executors of tbe estate.
Other general uerchsLidse stores in order
to resist tbe demoralizing effect on their
business of competition with such a tale,
at oice came to tbe Irout and iu order to
preserve their futnre prosperity began e
wholesale slaughter of prioes deciding it
was better to sell goods s few months with
out a margin than lose their future trade.
Tbis reduction of prices bas become infec
tious, rescbiog to other lines of trade nntii
a person can get a bnrgain here now in almost
anything he may wish to buy, si may be
seen by the es tensive advertising.
Of the permanent conditions, we already
know that the bulk of Lane county pro
ducts ii increasing yearly. Tbis, of
coarse improves our shipping market. The
county is also rapidly growing in populs
tion and this tends to augment local trade
and consumption, Ihns adding to tbe com
meroial importance of Engeue in both ways.
But still another fact remains. For a long
time past merchants have been drawing
trade from Linu and Benton counties on
tbe north to tbn summit of the SUkiyous
on tbe aoutb, besides from the different
parti of Eastern Oregon, and Ihe oircle al
together is a large ono. Tbe trade of one
person has brought that of another and so
on until for miles sround people come to
Eugene, for it is at Lane county's metropo
lis. llley expect to get the beat bargains,
and from here tbey iuvuriably go avtuy iat
ihUed. We might add that just now is one
of tbe best times for making purchases in
this ciiy, while reduced priets are (hernia
and opportunities greater for securing bar
gains. THE KlUSLAW KAILKOAD.
Engineers Looking for a Route East
of tbe Cascade Mountains.
We clip the following from the
Prinevllle Review of lust Saturday,
concerning a party of engineers in
that section:
"This week Messrs. Sheldon aim
Ilogley, civil engineers of Portland,
were in Prinevllle in the interest of
tho Sluslaw, Eugcno & Eastern K. It.
Co. They were lookingoverthe coun
try to gather statistics und ascertain
the amount of probable traffic the
country would aftora a rallroud, and
also to study the feasibility of a route
across the Cascades into Eastern Ore
gon. The company which these gen
tlemen are representing have a survey
from Florence, at the mouth of the
Siuslaw river to Eugene, and are look
ing for a route eastward. Should
these gentleman, after carefully look
ing over the country, report sufficient
inducement for building a road here, it
is possible the company may lay their
proposed line Into Crook county."
Col. lirittou informs us that tlie road
will be built and that the subsidy will
be earned. We hojie and believe such
will be the case.
THE WHKCKED WIIALEUACK.
There Seems He Little Cbance
ol Saving- Ihe Vessel.
Empibk Cut, Or., Sept. 12. There ii no
perceptible change in tbe condition of the
whaleback steamer Wetmore. She is still
lying side np on the breakers, which at
high tide pnas olesn over her. The gang
planks connecting her foremast and main
mast have been washed away. Her entire
five mssti seem to have a pitch forward, and
the theory is advanced by some that the
steamer is bogged a little. James Griffith,
manager of the Wetmore, arrived here yes
terday and with Captain O'Brien, took a life
boat and four sailors and went down to tbe
wreck, but were nnable to get on board.
Mr. Griffith, when seen by s press corres
pondent, said that be'would not be able to
state what steps would be taken, whether to
get ber off or not, nntil he could board tbe
ship and examine tbe state of her hall, and
that he hoped to get on board soon. The
whaleback 's being ashore has attracted large
crowds to the scene, and yesterday the
beach was alive with anxious spectators
from Marshfield and nril. boring cities on
Coos bay.

A Statement.
Editob Gdabd: In order to anticipate a
possible iojury being sustained by one
when I consider an honest man, as tbe re
suit of a false impression, I ask tbe publi
cation of this statement concerning tbe ar
rest of Mr. J. P. Peterson, for placing un
wholesome cheese on tbe market.
It appears that Mr. Peterson bad in his
employment last ipring man whom he
for some oauso afterwards discharged, but
during his employment Mr. Peterson had
the miufortuue to make several bad oheese,
the cause of which was accounted for by
the discovery that one o tbe farmers
furnishing him milk had, nnthoaghtedly,
been allowing the same lo remain over
night in a cau at tho corral near the offal of
some vested oalvus. Mr. Peterson, of
coarse, placed tbe spoiled cheese aside and
refused to sell them to any one, yet it teems
the man whom he hid discharged made a
vain attempt to get possession of one of
them by sending a young man of that neigh
borhood to purchase it.
Now, that the State Board of Health has
ordered his arrest, purporting to have ex
amiued one of bis cheese and pronouncing
it unwholesome, Mr. Peterson is somewhat
perplexed for he cannot account for the
manner iu which the board gained posses
sion of a cheese of his make.
It is through the belief that tbe gentle
man is guiltless of the charge and i bat the
victim of malice that the foregoing statement
is made. Jdsticc.

The Case Ularulaa ad.
Portland, Sept. 12. The much
talked of case of the city vs Ex-Chief
of Police S. B. Parrish was set for this
morning, but to the surprise of every
one it was, on motion or City Attorney
Muir, dismissed. The story of the suit
commences last December when the
appropriation for the officers', pay ran
out after the letter S on the roll waa
passed. There was some $1000 salary
due the other officers and to insure
them their money Parrish held out the
$15,000 he had to his credit in the bank
for delinquent taxes. At the last
meeting ot the city council it was voted
to pay the $lb00 due and so the ex
chief made a check In favor of the city
treasurer for the $15,900. This is the
final chapter in Mr. Parrish's official
career.
A Sheriff Fined.
Grant's Pass, Or., Sept, 12.-The

failing to make such return at the
September term, proceedings for con
tempt were instituted, with the above
result.

Mabbikd. In Springfield, Oregon, BepL
10, 1892, by Rev. 8. E. Milnm, Philip Zo
bel and flattie Larrison, all of Lane eonnij,
Oregon.
The average taxpayer grumblej
at a two per cent tax for state and
county purposes. There is another
form of taxation, however, ranging
from 10 to 200 per cent which he
pays without protest. The protec
tive tariff continually imposes a
tax on almost every manufactured
article purchased, but it is hidden
and concealed with the purchase
price, and he does not realize the
extent to which he is being taxed.
For instance a suit of clothes Bold
to the retail merchant for 120 is
protected and taxed not less than
40 per cent, which amounts to $3.
When the retail buyer appears he
must pay the cost, and manufac
turers and retail merchants legiti
mate profits and in addition $8, of
which but little goes into govern
ment coffers, being absorbed by the
manufacturer. If the purchaser
was told to pay $12 for the clothing
and then $8 for the protective tar
iff he would raise a howl that could
be heard to the remotest parts of
the country. Yet he is continual
ly paying this bonus, tries to be
happy, and in many instances con
tinues to vote for this high tax pol
icy. The East Oregonian with a good
circulation and advertising patron
age Bhares the experience of other
daily papers that are compelled to
keep ahead of the field in which
they are published. Speaking of
the report of a daily evening paper
being started in Pendleton it says:
We hear that some "friends'; of
ours will soon begin the publication
of a daily evening paper in Pendle
ton, probably the Daily Tribune.
This effort was tried once before
and $10,000 was sunk in the opera
tion. But still, the old sayine
"try, try again," has virtue, and
men with a grievance know no such
word as fail. Any one who has the
money, or collateral, to invest in
newspaper can secure the East Ore
gonian on easy terms. This p!'
can be purchased for a less sum
than it will take to establish anoth
er of equal value and standing.
The high tax party of Oregon
will inscribe "Protection" and
"Reciprocity" side by side on J&
campaign badges. This will be in
teresting news to the farmers oi
Oregon who ship their surplus pro
ducts to the value of several nul
lions of dollars annually to Eng
land, and get reciprocity in tne
shape of ballast on which they
must pay freight. The country
which takes nine-tenths of the sur
plus agricultural products of tM
United States, amounting in value
to several hundreds of millions
dollars annually, is the one th
the high tax party enforces protec
tion against. To other countries
with whom we do not trade to ny
appreciable extent it offers reciproc
ity. The results are that trusj
and monopolies with millions
dollars of accumulated profits an
counted by scores.
It is announcedthatMr. BIaiJ
neglected to register at his home w
Maine and will therefore lose w
vote.
