Many of I lit "Four Hundred" of tluadulsjra, have summer homes at Sau I'edrn, and there are dans a:d conceits every even In.-. It 19 quite Impossible to buj KngllHli' biNiks, a few school lx.ok perhaps, but a very fev and of poor selection, while as for fiction tin re Is none to be found, save In one's own vivid imagination; not even I he American magazines. Mine, that are i-ent me, are loaned until they are as tagged as some of the beggars that are to be seen every Sat urday crowding the streets. That Is the one day that begging Is allowed. The shops and many families provide themselves with a heap of centavos for this emergeucy. It's wise to remain at home on Suturday.for the sight of all sorts of crippled and defoimcd per sons Is both sad and unpleasant. Shuking bauds is a custom of the country that stands out very clearl to the gaze of a foreigner; Mexicans shake hands continuously. 1 had a calUr the other day ai.d I counted the num ber of times we shook; hands. First. on arrival at the gateway, theu again In the drawing room, next wheu she arose to leave, then at the door of the room, another lime at the gateway and once more at the street. Ibis is not exaggerated. The women have a prtt ty w ay ol greetiug It is a sort of em brace. They place their arms looesly about t ach others shoulders, looking for an Instant lute the distance, theu drawing away-shake hands. It is unwise to forget to shake hands v. ilb yo ir Mexican frbud both at meeting and parting at least, uo matter how often you may meet or how brief the interview. If your memory fulls iu this particular he is safe to think It's your politeness that is at fault. One adopts the little maunerlsms of the country almost without knowing It. The very atmosphere Is permea'ed w'ith politeness and procrastination. Eveu business appointments are not kept to the hour or minute. Still, we could not expect a Mexican to rush past half a dozen frlendsou the. street without stopping to 'shake hands." They would certainly fancy bis mind a fleeted and his manners llowu, if he did. There Is one odd thing that liuik me wheu I first arrived, the news boys on the street olleriug me the next day's paper at four o'clock l.i the after noon. The afternoon papers are dated a day ahead. All Americans couut in gold. They say, "S and so is worth so much gold." .ly friends are lather disgusted Ucaue I count everything In Ameri can currency, saying very truly if I was earning Mexican money 1 wouldn't halve the expense ol eveiy thing I buy. It sounds oddly to say adios both at meeting and parting. Every one Is culled by their first name. It Is Senor Jose or Seuorlta Isabella, whatever your first name may be it is first Spauishized a:.d theu you are so known. I've met man Mexicans whose last name Is an un known quantity to me. On being Iu troduced it is customary to annoum e your full name and address. I have spoken before of the cheap ness of wages. A good sewing woman cau be bad for eighteen cents a day Mexican cash.

You will see all about It in the papers. It was a bard trip, but I think we will be well paid for it. It goes as high as $5 and fti to the pan. It is fine.

Mr Knowleswas born In New Hampshire In 1820. The next year his father built a new bouse slid as was the custom of the time It contained a large lire-place made of brick. These brick ho manufactured himself near the site of the house. One dty while be was engaged in this work with his little son playing near, the boy steped ou one of the soft brick leaving thereon perfect print of the little foot. Mr scratched the dute (1821) on the brick, burned and used it In constructing the fire place. Years passed away and the father having died the son, E C Knowlu- now grown to manhood came Into possession of the homestead whh he afterwards sold and the place passed to other hands. Mr Kuowles moved lo Minne sota many year ago and later came to Oregon. The brick with the foot print on It remained In its place Iu the chim ney till some llireo or four years ago when a i tqiliew of Mr Kuowles ob tained it aud gave It to bis mother. She sent It to her brother In Oregon who received It a few days ago and uow bs cau see the size of track he made nearly 60 years aico. Uonse lake la at a lower ebb now than It ever Im been since 'the new meander lino was survayedand located by J W Hamaker, In HhH. The last hard wluter followed that seasou, and It is predicted by inaiiy Luke couuty stockmen that another severe one will follow this dry summer, Preparations are being made upon this supposition, and they aie In hope of a large snow fall, w hich will Insure good crops next year. 2500 MEN To call at tho Big Storo and buy one of our Famous Gold and Silvcr;Golf Shirt?, $1.25 quality for 93c.

Eihtoh lli AHD. I raise to second JusHr Wllklus' motion In regard to the sti anil out. I have been a hearty advocate of the building of such a bout for ye.irs anil If the producing and consMuiing classes of citizens of Lane county would stop for a moment to emir Ider What this proposition mi mil to ihein Iu dollars aud cents, I take It they would not be long In sub scribing money siilllclent lo push the building of the boat to a quick Com pletion. Should an outsider scan the suh scilptiou list he would be surprise) at the inl-erlv amounts subscribed by many of the Eugeno merchants. The fact Is, that these very nierchauts could well ullord to subscribe all the money needed for this enterprise and be well rewarded In return tor the investment Iu dollars and cents, to say nothing of tho prestige It would give to the citlzeus of Eugene with the outsldo world, for their pushing aud enterprising spirit. The fact of the matter I that some of whom we would naturally look to do the most In this regard are doing tho least, aud when ou mention tho steamboat to them, they will say; "What's the use, the railroad company will reduce their rates at once so that the boat cannot be oierated." In reply to this we say, theu very good; when that thing occurs we will merely tie the boat up to a snubbing post, olid virtually say to the railroad company, don't you dare raise tho rates again. And that boat will bo earning 'IS per cent on the money Iu vested, If she never turna another wheel, for It means to the consumers and shippers a half cent per pound reduotlon in the price he pays ou all things that be consumes as well as a big reduotlon of freight rates upon what he ships. To the further who ralsts wheat, oats, or other grain and produce It means live to six cents niore per bushel for his grain than at present. It will bo noted thut there Is always 10 to 13 ceuts per bushel difference between the price of wheat at Portland and the prloe at Eugene. The dlffeience Is supposed to represent the cost of shipment, cost ol hauling, warehouse charges eto from Eugene to Portland. The minute this boat Is ready lor business It means the cutting In two of these freight charges, which means to the farmer S to 0 cents per bushel more for bis wheat and 2 or 3 ceuts more for bis oats. What farm er Is there who grows 1000 bushels of gralu for the market annually who cannot wt II allord to subscribe $100 to the worthy enterprise. Captain tiray, w ho Is at the head of this enterprise Is one of Eugene's most enterprising aud progressive citlzeus, who has put a large amount of money L.to the enterprise and who is giving his eutlro time In superin tending the consti ucl Ion of the boat. lie Is an old ateauiboat Captain, having run steamers ou the Mississippi river for year aud be knows what be Is about. He bas for mauy years been disgusted with the rapacity of the railroad company. Ha Is a man worthy of all conll deuce and i say, let us give this enterprlst) a lift and do a good thing for ourselves at the same lime. I am not a shipper, yet I have subscribed some mouey to the enter' prise and propose to subscribe more at the pro er time. C. II.llAKF.B. SUNDAY TKAOEDT.
