It was built in the early sixties ou the let adjoining tiie Eugene Hour Ing mill about where the bnru belong ing to the company that owns the mill property stands. It wan built for and flrst occupied by a planiug udll outfit the first iu the town, aud was, we l.e lleve, owned by Zara Sweet and Mr Moore, the latter the father if V W aud Zacb Moore. For some reason the machinery was takeu out and moved elsewhere, and the building remained vacant for at v er.l years. Then it was moved to the present locution and thereafter Used for a blacksmith and wsgou chop. It Is an old timer, but like all old timers has had its day and must give place to the new.

The farmers and land owners along the tributaries of the Willamette liver have for several years complained of the damages occasioned them by !,'- giug operations and the extensive Interest of both parties aud the serious questions involved make this case one of the most important to the interest of the state that has as yet been iu the courts.

V'.-0,00 u (I,,. ggf,.B-(f. 1 1 will be surprising to some to know the amount of money which , will have I ecu p;,i out for cattle Iu thi secti m oi the state at the end of ; the pre-. iit m .i,ou. The amount for this indu-try, a!o, e, will he sufllcieHt to pay n. of every taxpayer in Lane ciciiity this year aud some to spare. By the en I of i ho season, according to present contracts, the First National auk of this city will have paid out consuieraui) over luii,0o.t. This money all goes f,,r cattle and v. ill be i-calttrH broadcast in small sum. among tho furui'-rs in this section of thest.it-. Some of it goes to Linn and Douglas county fanner, but most of it is scattered through Lane county. 'I'l : . i . . i , . . . ins is i no iiutine-s oi ouly one bank. The other banks of Eugene and or other valley towns are hand ling large sum which will be paid out fir cattle. The amount which is being paid out fnr rattle through the First National bitik is the largest sum ever handled by that bunk slues its organization for any one line of industry iu ou season. Several yean ago about $100,ntK) in hop money passed through the bank, but the sum did not equal what will be paid out for cattle this year. Nearly every bit c.f this money Is paid by Eastern cattl- buyer, aud Is a direct Importation Into this state. In addition to the large sum, which it was slated iu yesteiday's issue had bis n paid out In Eugene lor cattle (hi. S'-asoii we are Informed that $il,- 0o) has been paid through the Eugene National bank aud contracts call for the ayment of nearly $100,000 nioie through that ton roe. Tills w ill make iu the aggregate the sum of f JoO.OtiO, most of which is for Lane county stock. The disburse ment of such large sums caunot but pro.e extremely beneficial to the various financial interests of our oun- iy- Ai a pointer to our farmers It may be well to call their attention to the fact that li Is the shot thorns Durham aud Hereford that aie In demand. Stock buyers fight shy of the Jersey and Holsiein breeds. A NEW COlttT HOUSE. A Pruhiiiillty Will Hare I'liat l.ane County One Next Year. riieivunly court Is considering the matter of a new court house. Mr Deloe Neer of Portland ha leen before the board u itli plans for a building .luce jv-L-rday , but is not proSable that any action w ill be takeu during the present session. If the court decides to elect a new edillce for the county the building will probably not be erected before next jear. The condition of the old building makes the demand for a new one lui pcratie, or else costly repairs. The pillars which support the front of the present building are about to give way; the roof is in bad shape and the struc ture is becoming dilapidated generally. The building is also far too small for the increasing business of county otllcialsuud the vault is not considered a safe us desired. With the present prospects of good crops and fair prices it is probable that we may have a new court house next year. Visirn) Junction Lodoe.

A now building I. badly needed ue one will deuy aud the pres ent structure Is really a disgrace to a big, wealthy oouuty like Lane, but we do nut favor building one until the County Is out of debt and has a few thousand dollars stacked up In the treasury. Wheu that period of pros perlty is reached we will advocate the building ot a new court house. "The Cottage Grove Messenger sug gest, that Eugene build the court house In consideration of being the county seat. We beg to differ. A court house should be built aud owned by the people. We want to own a few brick iu that building and wheu (lie condition arc a. Indicated above, we will be peifectly willing to pay our quota of the expense." Tall? Guard, Ktj t. Ou Tkial.

Tim Telegram truly remarks that the iiocossitic of life, such as food, j fuel ami clothing, should be, so far as possible, exempt from taxation, and that revenues should bo de rived from taxes imposed on lux ( uries. That is excellent do'-trinf but is not in accord with the MeKinley idea supp rted so strenuously by the Telegram in the recent election. Then the idea was to make everybody prosperous by taxation taxing nearly every ar ticle used by the common people to the full limit, for the purposo of "protecting" a few manufacturers, who would bo enabled to pile up vast wealth unjustly wrung from the people. Thu Telegram is ono thing previous to no election and another afterward. "When the devil was sick Tho devil a monk would be; When the devil got well The devil a monk was he." fl.KVt.LASD AMI JIIIAS 1SCAUI0T. The Cincinnati Enquirer thus refers tj tho immense, gall dis played by Cleveland in iccom mending, in effect, that the six and a half million democrats who voted for Bryan should bow down to the 134,000 that voted for the gold "National Democratic" ticket, and the unknown quantity of so-called democrats who scorned the subter fuge and voted for MeKinley di rect: "Tho proposition is us cool ns ono would have been from Judua Is cariot to the eleven faithful disci pies requesting them to meet in his room, alter ho had betrayed his Muster, for the purpose of reha bilitating the Christian causo." SILVER KEITBLICANS. An organization of the Ohio Silver Ropub lican party has been effected. Ono of the promoters says: "We mean businosn, and if we cannot get what wo want the recognition of silver from the Republican party, wo will go whero wo can grt it. Tho Re publican party, liko tho Demo cratio party as represented in tho late administration, has breu led astray, and I think I see iu the near future an amalgamation of tho gold Democrats and gold Republi cans, and tho joining of tho silver Democrats and silver Republicans." t.ltiLSK FLOUKIMJ MILLS. The people of Eugene arc to be congratulated that the (louring mills, water power and property connected therewith, havu fallen into excellent hands. Tho now proprietors are thorough business men, have tho confidence of the public, and dealers with whom they must do business, and, what is very important, have the necessary capital with which to do business. The farmers ot Lane qpunty may rest assured that no pains will he spared by tho new management to render business relations agreeable as well ns profitable to b:th. Prof Douglass Archibald, who is considered ono of the most eminent meteorologists, forcasts another hot summer for thu northern hemis phere, great masses of ice in the Atlantic indicating an early polar spring. Tho al normal heat is at tributed to solar conditions, which have been unsettled since tho maxi mum period of sun spots in 1803. A severe drouth prevails now in Australia, and tho spectroscope shows that the sun is hotter than usual. The Dalles has a bank suspension A government official has taken charge of the First Xitional bank pending an investigation. Ex-Gov Moody is the president of the insti tution. The Dalles city and Wasco county have $10,000 tied up by the suspension. Farmers are happy oh account of tho splendid rains.
