The City of Eugene.
Eugene is the county seat of Lane
county and is located near the geo
graphical center of the county, and
at the head of navigation, close to
the junction of the five streams that
unite to form the Willamette river.
It has a population of 6,500, together
with all the conveniences of a mod
ern city. It is on the Southern Pa
cific railroad, 123 miles south of
Fortland. It has an elevation above
sea level of 453 feet.
Not only is it the commercial cen
ter of the county, but the educational
center of the state as well. In addi
tion to the state university, which is
located here, there is a first-class
high school, three fine public schools,
a divinity school, a business college
and a Catholic boarding and day
school.
