THE BUG EKE REGIS TEB0 0 ABL
BARRICADE EFFECT
A protest against the "barrl-
cad effect" on Franklin boule
rard at the entrance of Eaat
Broadway was voiced Saturday
by property owners along Eighth
avenue. The protest waa said to
be the first step In a move to
change the narrow bottle-neck
on Franklin boulevard caused by
the fill leading across the rail
road tracks.
According to the signers of the
protest, this fill so obstructs the
continuation of the boulevard as
to act a i a virtual "gate across
the boulevard at this point." They
declare the boulevard la so nar
row that cars are In danger In
passing at night and pedestrians
would be unsafe at that point.
Eighth avenue property owners,
claiming that the action of thus
throwing the main flow of traffic
along East Broadway and pre
venting much going along the
boulevard to Enghth avenue Is
unfair to them, intend getting up
a petition demanding that the nar
row bottlo-neck of the highway
be widened to give full width to
the boulevard at the Intersection
of East Broadway, according to
J. E. Kllborn, spokesman for the
property owners. Following Is
their letter of protest:
. "The undersigned property own
ers are herewith voicing a protest
against the arbitrary and high
banded manner In which officials
of the City of Eugene and the En
gineers of the State Highway
Commission executed the recent
provision financed by the Fed
eral Government for the widen
ing of Ninth Avenue at Its Inter
aectlon with Franklin Boulevard.
"Get the picture as It was.
Franklin Boulevard Is and waa a
main artery from the South, with
natural lakeoffs at Thirteenth.
Eleventh, Ninth and Eighth streets,
permitting the East and West
traffic to sift Into the city, and
through It as It desired, without
congestion and without prejudice
for or against property Interests
naturally Interested In the flow
of traffic. The Boulevard was wide
and sate and free for all, with no
bottleneck!.
"Drive out and look at It now.
There have been no record acci
dents at this Intersection. But
under the pretext of "modernis
ing' and 'making this Intersection
safe,' Franklin Boulevard was
taken for the purposea of a fill,
and little narrow semicircular
'alley substituted for the other
wise broad straight boulevard
which existed there. The original
boulevard permitted some traffic
naturally and normally to flow on
down to Eighth, through the city
and naturally out again. Short of
putting a gate across the Boule
vard at this point the englneera
could hardly have done a better
Job for atopping tratfio outright
and directing It all down post the
big corporation owned and oper
ated aervlce stations on Ninth.
Eternal vigilance la the price of
liberty, but our vigilance In this
matter baa been unavailing. Two
protests to the City Council
against thla nnfatr and discrimin
ating and prejudicial administra
tion of an Improvement have been
unavailing. If a broad thorough
fare has been taken. It should be
replaced. Tbla Improvement could
and should bave been made with
out prejudice for or against the
property Interests of Eighth and
Ninth. It doee seem that If Eu
gene la not trying to ateal aome
Industry or Institution from a
neighboring city, then It will be
aome local Interests trying to
ateal, and succeeding in doing ao.
from other local Interests. If
the City of Eugene placidly sIV
by and permits thla one of many
outrages without a sincere effort
to make restitution, then It Is
deserving of rebuke by bonest
and fair men everywhere.

English speaking stage are closely
associated with it; Kitty dive, David
Garrick, Edwin Booth, F.-n.-.y Daven

Petrncbio, the Tamer, Ada Rehan
as Katharine, the Shrew and Otis.
Skinner as Lucentio, the romantic
lover of the Shrew's younger sister,

and Rollo Browning as Petruchio's
comic servants Gregory and Sugarsop,
represent the Eugene High school.
Billy Allen ss Biondello errand boy

a representative from each junior
high school in the cast but unfortun
ately there was a part for only one
very young boy. University students
appearing are James Doyle and Joyce
Busenbark of Roseburg as Baptista,
father of the Shrew and Curtis, Pet
ruchio's housekeeper; Curtis Barnes
and William Dougherty of Medford as
Hortenslo and the Haberdasher;

Gerald S. Garner,
Former Eugenean,
Weds in Honolulu
Announcement was received by
Eugene friends, Saturday, that
Gerald S. Garner, formerly of this
city, waa married Thursday, May
3. to Mrs. Mildred L. Whyts of
Honolulu.
The ceremony waa solemnised
In the Central Union church In
Honolulu.
Mr. Garner, for nearly ten yeara
circulation manager for the Register-Guard,
left recently for Hono
lulu to accept the position of cir
culation manager for the Hono
lulu Advertiser. The bride has
been a resident of Honolulu for
the past 10 years.
A complete history of the port of
Florence, Lane county's outlet to the
sea, wilt be written by Alfred L. Lo
max, professor of business adminis
tration, it was announced here today.
Preliminary work on the project is
already under way.
The first part of the history will
deal with tile historical phases of the
founding of the community and the
port, snd with its various commercial
and industrial developments, Mr. Lo
max says. The second part will deal
with the port itself, expenditures that
have been made, work completed,
work contemplated and volume ship
ping for the past and present.
Mr. Lomax has specialised In this
type of study, and already has made
important contributions in this field.
With Ronald Robnett he made a com
plete industrial survey of Lane county
a few years sgo, and has done other
work of this kind in various parts of
the state.
A correct account of the nsmlng of
the port is sought by Mr. Lomax.
The story most frequently hesrd Is
that a name plate of sailing vessel,
the "Florence." wss found on the
site of the town about 1875, after
the boat had been wrecked near there.
Anyone with information on this
point Is asked to write to Mr. Lomax.
The first port project was begun
in 1891, Mr. Lomax's preliminary
studies show, uhe city, formerly In'
accessible from inland points during
the winter, is now an easy drive from
Eugene at any time during the year,
and many people have hopes that It
msy serve as sn Important transpor
tation outlet for this part of the state
in the future.

North Carolina estimates that state's
tobacco crop last season was worth

Sheriff Makes
Good Time With
Election Boxes
All the ballot boxes with the
official returns of the vote at the
primary elections Friday had been
turned over to County Clerk Dill
ard by the middle of Saturday
afternoon.
Under a new law the sheriff,
instead of aome - member of the
election board In each precinct,
la now required to bring the
boxes to Eugene. Under the old
law It was often the case that the
member of the election board
would choose to wait a day or su
before starting tor Eugene and as
a result It delayed the work of
counting the votes. But this was
not the reason that the law was
changed requiring the aherlff to
gather up the boxes. Each man
who brought the boxes In was
paid mileage and the legislator
who sponsored the new law fig
ured that every county would save
this mileage which ran into quite
a sum In a big county like Lane.
Sheriff Swarta started out at
daylight Saturday for Oakrldge
and gathered all the boxes be
tween here and there. Mark
Hathaway, deputy, went to the
coast section and Deputy George
Canaday went to Walton and vic
inity. Some of the election board
members brought the boxes In
voluntarily.
Sheriff Swarts said that all the
boxes In the Eugene precincts
and those from Santa Clara and
Springfield were delivered by mid
night Friday. ,
