KEcflPENCE OF .M.F. GF.1 GQS.
Eugene, tho prosperous county srat of
Lane county, has rorontly become known
the olty of public spirit, as the city
of rapid advancement and nlmost un
' precedfnted growth, but of thu beauty
o? Jier homes and fascination of her
Kforious foliage, little Is known to the
outsider.
Why Is It that this one city so far
excels other Pacific coast towns of Its
size? Why Is this thfHlng town a me
tropolis In miniature? Why Indeed?
Most people will give the wornan's an
swer, "because." Rut there must be
some real reason back of It nil. "Me
tropolis in miniature" Is what some of
the Portlanders called it, when they vls-j
lted Eugene on commencement day, last'
June. Take a pair of opera glasses
and look through the wrong end at
Portland arid you see Eugene.
To ascribe Eugene's rapid growth to
its paved streets Is not correct. Last
year Eugene paved only its main busi
ness artery from the railroad station to
Eleventh street. To those who were
used to mud roads, this was quite .in
accomplishment, but to the city-bred
man, tills piece of pavement half a mile
or so long, was nothing wonderful nor
startling and if anything, rather drew
attention to the unpaved remainder.
This summer the side streets have
been paved to Eleventh street from the
main business street ciear out to uie
university. And now, the place looks
dlfforent. Now there has been enough
paving done to really beautify the city.
Now you can drive more mllos along eitl-
BOAT I"NG
T2E .TllL-L-
fied streets. But Eugene's wonderful
frowth did not commence this month.
Id not begin after all this paving
was done. It commenced before that.
This year the growth has continued and
accelerated and today Eugene faces the
fact that she cannot possibly build fast
enough to supply the ravenous demand
for stores and residences, although
every nerve Is strained.
And besides the splendid new homes
going up on what formerly was vacant
property, there is the moving off of old
houses and cottages to cheaper lots to
replace them by handsome up-to-date
dwellings.
Some of the older houses, as shown
here, are even more plcturesq. :;e than
the new edifices. They have the ad
vantage of beautiful surroundings.
Evergreens, rose bushes, shade trees and
climbing vines take time to become it
tractive. These older homes have them.
Most of the new ones are still In sur
roundings which plainly announce their
youth fulness.
Is it the new, expensive, up-to-date
residence or the old-fashioned, much-
bef iligre'ed. perhaps unobtrusive house
that gives Eugene Its fascination?
Probably the latter. By all means.
Some of them are located In veritable
parks uinl several spots remind one Irre
sistibly of Cleveland's beautiful Euclid
avenue, or Chicago's Woodlawn avenue
In Hyde Park.
As Southern California gloats over Its
peppert rees. northern California over Its
walnut trees, Rnd Oregon over its
gigantic firs, so Eugene "points with
pride" to Its maples. There may be
other spots where maples do as well.
There probably are. Hut. none where
they prow larger or lo more beautiful
symmetry. 1'nfortunately a maple, be
ing deciduous, loses its foliage in win
ter. (The word winter seems a mis
nomer for this part of the world.) Un
fortunately? Perhaps not. For maybe
it is the temporary lack of and the
craving for beantlful things which
make us hard-to-please-mortals appre
ciate them all tha more.
And the reason for Eugene's unique
attractiveness? Perhaps It Is the fact
.hat here is located the University of
Oregon, which naturally brings an es
pecially good class , or settlers. The
kind of people w,ho crave Intellectual
and refined surroundings, whose chil
dren are to enter the state university,
people who realize the value of educa
tion and, all tilings even, prefer to re
side In a city where they can have the
direct benefit of this Temple of Learn
ing and the indirect benefits which come
from its very presence. That undoubt
edly Is the explanation. Of course.
Eugene's location at the head of the
Willamette valley. Its not too close
proximity to the state's metropolis,
Portland, and Its beautiful hills all
around, all add to make It the coming
city of Oregon, next to Portland, but
the taste, refinement, intelligence and
yet withal, the democratic spirit it
those already here, are what appeals to
the visitor and makes him return. Or,
If he travels along, makes him crsvo
to come back to Eugene.
Eugene, which almost doubled in pop
ulation between 1906 and Decembar,
1907. will probably double again befor
1910. and is destined to become a city
of Importance. All visitors fall in lov
with her and as a suitor boasts of the
attractions of his sweetheart, so thy
forthwith become living advertisement
which all redound to the benefit and the
upbuilding 'of this city, which rightly
has been named: Lovable Eugene.

Revenue Cutter Brings in
75 Japs and Has Gone
Back for More.
(I'aited Press tsea VTttt.t
Seattle. Wash.. Aug. 17. Cable ad
vices from Valdcz today state that 76
of the alleged Japanese seal poachers
captured from the Kinsei Maru and the
Baki Maru. off St. Paul island, July
St. have been taken to Unga by th
revenue cutter Bear. The Bear sailed
for another batch of the Japanese, as
all couldn't be brought at once.
United States Commissioner Driffield
has ordered 26 of the men held over to
the federal grand Jury for trial. As
sistant United States District Attorney
Buy has left Valdez for Unga under
orders from the state department. A
special court will be convened at Valdez
to try the alleged poachers.
Two gunboats and five revenue cut
ters ara patrolling the seal island dis
trict this year.
When the vessels were captured they
had on board 400 skins and a few live
seals which had been taken in the vi
cinity of where the vessels were taken,
at the northeast point of St. Paul
island. That the vessels might not
escape while being towed to Lnalaska
by the cutter Kush, they were stripped
of sails, as It was feared the Japanese
might cut the hawsers while enroute.
After the Kinsei .Maru left Unalaska
and entered Bering sea on her way
north the Japanese poachers painted her
white and built a yellow smokestack out
of papier maohe and canvas and erect
ed it. to imitate a revenue cutter. Also
a yard made out of papier mache was
used to complete the Imitation, the
vessel appearing very much like the
cutter Manning, which Is now in San
Francisco.

over the summer hotel at Odessa, four
miles from Pelican Bay. noticed an
elderly man tying a boat at her wharf,
and then leisurely walking around her
premises on a tour of inspection. He
was dressed vety plainly, and wore an
old straw hai. Something in his man

walked up to him and asked:
"Who are you and what are you look
ing for?"
Whereupon the elderly man doffed
his hat. and, with a smile back of his
glasses, said:
"My name is narnman. 1 m your
neighbor, ma'am, and have come over

Clouds obscured the sun for several

old settlers If that meant rain, saving
unless it rained Pelican Bay would not
see him next year. All are rejoicing
over a nice shower thst came the same
afternoon, insuring the distinguished
guest s return.
The Harrlmsn ladles have had good
success with the Pelican trout and fish
