The men who have Ihwo working fur Contractor Hay 90 the Mohawk brunch of tbe Southern Pacific, ! serve tbe greatest sympathy. Without money, after working all winter In the mud ami wet, actually guttering in some instances for food, which they re compelled to get by asking for handouts, these hmie-t toileta are In need of anything w Inch can be given them. Contractor Bay haa returned to Portland, aud made practically no pay menu while here. It la moat unfor tunate, as Bays haa unquestionably loet money au the contract, and even tbe workmen do not questiou bla hon esty, or willingness to pay, if be could aecute the money. Virtually every thing has been attached. Attorneys Thompson A Hardy and L. Bllveu have over $1000 In tlme- nhecks for collection, and are doing a work for charity In trying to get some thing for the men. The Southern Paclflo should s. that these laborers receive tin ir pay. It is a duly the company owes to tbe men who have null led their roid, to Line counl.v and Eugene. It is tiel eved here thai ibis will be brought about, and that the men v. ill finally receive what Is justly due them. It has teh reported on the streets of this city today, without being con United, that Mr eHays has given up the work, having sunk all he bad iu this Job, every phase or which has been disastrous to him. About 20 of tbe men went to Port land tbla afternoon, tbelr passage being furnished by tbe Southern Paclflo. The rest ef tbe laborers will remain here In the hope of securing work of some klud, and will also be on band to give what aid they can In tbe collec tion of olalms. Another Military Comyany. The military spirit is strong In Lane county, and especially so ainoe the return of company C from tbe Philip pines. Lane county now ban two militia companies, one organized after tbe volunteers left, and the other tbe volunteers themselves organizing under National Guard laws for continu ance of military work.

At Salero, ten thousand people heard him speak and at other points the crowds were proportional to tbe size of tbe towi s. At Walla Walla, a down pour of rain compelled tbe crowd to go indoors and tbe two largest balls In tbe city were able to accommodate : only a small portion of tbe crowd that j turned out to bear tbe speech, Bryan speaking In both halls."

Tbe farmer oan retain the fiber, as only tbe seed will he used at tbe mill. If Dakota and tdaho farmers' can ship (lax to the I'ortlaud mill at a profit, there is cer tainly no reason wby It cannot ba shipped from here to Eugene, or even Portland, IT better prices could be obtained there. The heavy black land of the valley Is specially adapted to Max raising, and slnoe It Is a more profitable crop than wbea'., there Is no reason why valley farming should not Include Ibis product. Once farmers fully prove that the culture of flax will pay, and commence to raise It In earn est, there will be no trouble to get a mill here."

"I probably have an elephant ou my hands," said W. B. Dennis, the Spo kane mining operator, to a Guard re porter today. Mr. Dennis Is operating the Blsek Unite Mining Compauy's property, east of Cottage Grove ou a bond, and came to t n is city to purchase some Iron rails from Messrs. Holden Bros, of the Eugene Street railway, to use In bis development work at the mines. Tbe visit resulted In more. Mr. Dennis Is now owner ef the Eugene Street Rail way, IU track, rolling slock, frauoblae, mules and all appurtenanoea belonging thereto, whloh fact ocoasiouei the opening remark. Just what Mr. Dennis will do with tbe property Is undecided at present He will continue to operate It for a time, at least, aa It now etands. Mr. Dennis could give no hlut aa to what the future would have In sIoi-h for tbe property. He thinks that by flxiugup the roadbed and giving au Improved service, tbe line as It now stands will pay better returns. So far as any future operation of tbe road is concerned M r. Dennis would say nothing, as be dont know himself, having purchased the property almost on the spur of tbe mo ment. Mr. Dennis is a mining man, and a busy one at that, so that the operating of street railways Is somsthlng uew to him. He has stated however, that If power could be secured reasonably, a line from Kugeue through Falrmount to Springfield might be a good invest ment. Or It might be that be will find It necessary to discontinue the service altogether. Speaking further regarding the matter, Mr. Dennla aUted that in reaching out by email motor or electric 1 1 nea for trade adjacent to a growing city, such aa Kugene, the business men and capitalists of the city who are di rectly Interested should own and con - trol tbe transportation ways, thus In suring Interested attention to detail. Mr. Dennis will tear up tbe track on Willamette street south of Eleventh and ship to tbe mines together with tbe other rails stored at tbe "power" house, to use in bis development work. The ownership of the street car sys tem ohanges hands after 1 1 years op eration. The Messrs. Holden bare bad many things to oonlend with In tbe conduct of the Hue, but the opera tion of tbe system baa probably is-cn all that the receipts would Justify, and even better. Extensions to the line and improved servltv would, III all likelihood, result In a raveuue-paylng road. The people would hall with de light tbe knowledge that Eugene and Springfield might be connected with a motor Hue, for Its advantage la plainly evldeut. Purchased by W. K. Allan, of Newberg.
