W ' ' . 1 " . Kugeno City Guard SATURDAY,. ...OCTOBER 30 ENUUSD AND III METAL Lisa. Tbat Comtrr will not Assist la K torlDf Bllver.-Thla Country Will Dot A gala be Deceit ed on that Iwus. At the last presidential election the force that supported McKln ley promised to teoure inlernation al bimetallism. Men of reason knew it was an empty promise. England the great commercial na tion would never consent to lessen the value of her iecuritUs, wbioh steadily appreciate In worth through the maintenance of the single gold standard, until forced by the ao'.ion of other great commercial nations. A recent Issue of the San Frano sco Exam iner tells the whole story in few words. It says: "The banking and commercial in terests of London, with few excep tions, are strongly in fayor of the single gold standard apd regard it as a matter beyond argument. I er haps Irom the standpoint ol imme diate British interests they are rieht. England is the world's creditor, and the more valuable the money in whioh the world must pay itsdebts to her the better off she is. "But, right or wrong, these inter ests are lixed in their belie'.s and will listen to nothing else, and they are strong enough to bring anv British Administration to terms. The? look violent alarm at tho mild proposal to keep $20, 000,000 of the Bank of England's reserve in silver, and brought their inlluense to bear to force the gov ernment to keep India under the anomalous financial system that it cruBhiug out her industries. "The republican party knew as well a year ago as it knows today tbat there was not the slightest chance that the British Govern ment would take any share in i bicmtallio movement. It, was try ing to work a conlidence came on the neoplo.and it succeeded. No voter who is not so willfully blind can ever be misled again by the device. When bimetallism is re established it must be without the aid of England." THE BLIND POOL. llanna's Bargain Must Be Carried Out at the Sacrlnoe of Millions. New Yock World.) The total indebtedness of the Union I'acifio Railroad -including its debt of $53,000,000 to the gov ernmentis $105,000,000. Its net earnings are about $0, 503.000 annually, or more than C per cent on its debt. Why, then, should the govern ment give away $20,000,000 of its claim, every dollar of . wbioh the road is amply good for? The first mortgage bond holders are getting 6 percent interest, witt a secure principal. I be govern ment is in no immediate need ol its money. Every creditor of the roai is well secured, and if the road is to be Bold it should sell for enough to pay all its dabta. Indeed, an act of Congress peremptorily requires the president to bid for it a sum sufficient to pay all its debts. let because of a bargain with a blind pool, as Bet forth in The World's news columns today, the presont administration proposes to sacrifice $20,000,000 of the govern ment's claim anl to let the blind pool pocket it without even telling who the members of the blind pool arel The revelation of facts is an in structive one. THE JtEFORM BCHOUL BOY. Dick Ely Will Probably be JUitnrn- el to tn Sfa'e Reformatory. It will be remembered that a short time since, Dick Ely, a mere boy, wbo was confined la the city tail with a gang of hobos, was triedor attempted robbery. lie was turned loose, bnt ranln again and given 80 days. It was learned tbatjhe bad been an lnmate of the reform school, and as It seemed neccMary tbat be hould be sgaln sent there, Cbltf of Pollue Stilus wrote to the superintendent of the reform school to find out son bmg about blm The boy claimed to be 17 yeais old, or put the age at which commitment can be made. Tbe following letter was received by Mr Utiles today and It Is very likely the tx.y will again be committed to tbat institution: J. S. 81 Ilea, Chief of Police. Eugene Oregon. Dear Kir: Yours In reirard to Dick Ely received. He Is now 16 years old. I expect, 11 be Is In trouble again, we will have to come and get blm. He was com ml ted here Deo 80, 1801, and was pvoled c nt June 12, 1805. You can let me know tbe nature of his crime and hold blm until I see tbe former superintendent about him. His fattier lives in Salem Very tiuly, E M Ckoisan, Bupt Reform School. Football Notes. Tbe UolO candidates for first team positions are working faithfully and the practice of tbe past week is adding snap a -d endurance to tbe men, and their nlavlonr mav prove a surprise to r w opponents. Tbe O A C has confidently asserted from tbe first of the year tbat tbe pen nant (or this season's games will be bung up by them, and It appears that tbelr team is much better than they ever had before. Still it is possible tliatot'ier teams have developed as well. Tbe Indian boys will play Corvallis next Saturday, and from reports going out the Indians may win. Tbelr play Ing is said to be wonderfully snappy and decisive. Following is tbe Cte mawaa team with weights: Center, John Pattle, 240; R O Reuben Handen, 175: LQ. Richard Decker, 182: LT, Wlllm Hunt 173: RT, Oscar Mc Carthy, 105; R E, Peter Williams, 1601 D E.John Maston, 167; R II B, Ed Davis. 150; L 11 R, Clark Smith, 164; Q B, Joe Teabo, 140; F B, Joe Maston, 180. Bicycles have scored a victory in the courts. The supreme court of Iswa has rendered a decision that bioyclist3are not compelled to carry a bell and exhibit a light at night. Yet the decision is modified by the finding that the bicyclist, not being supplied with a bell and light, who injures a person, is guilty of contributory negligence. Tbe deois'on carries the inference tbat the pedestrian is also guilty ot contributory negligence by reason of not carrying a bell and light. It is quite probable that Oregon has the finest place for split rod fishing In the world, that is where the fishermen can fight with a big fiih on even terms, or as near even terms aa suoh a thing is possible Bays the Albany Democrat. That is at Yaquina Bay. It is being developed this year particularly bo that it offers remarkable advanta ges for thisBport. Thirty minute contests that try the skill of the finest fishermen are frequent. Local Market. Oct 20. Wbeat-71o Oats 25c. Eggs-V'SJo. Potatoes-20c IIops-8 tollc. Apples 20.'.

Lots here are worth as high as $10,0C0, size 50x100 feet We bought one fur $2000, and before the transfer was made out we were offered $3500 for it, but expect to get more in tbe ne ir fu ture. Men wbo have made money on tbe creeks come in here aud buy a sa loon for a few hours and pay almost fab llom prices; then everybody di inks. As high as $300 and $000 have been paid for a couple of rounds of drinks for a crowd. Five and ten thousand dollars Is simply a little pocket money for some of tli- uiusbroom millionaires. One man came to town, stayed three weeks, and spent $15,010. But all do not spend money like that.
