the center of the productive western
Oregon section, west of the Cns-,
cade, and boasts a treat variety of
Industries in addition to being the
center of a rich agricultural and
fruit area.
Lumbering, dairying, poultry and
egga wool, fruits of many kinds, veg
etables of all types, nuts of various
kinds, and mining, all, are a few of
the general classifications for the in
dustries of this section. Some half
a, hundre sawmills are located within
the radius of Eugene.
In addition, the Southern Pacific
company has its terminal and shops
here. The city has excellent railroad
facilities, being located on the mam
line of the Southern Pacific with
trains from both the new Cascnde
line and tbe Shasta line making Eu
gene a headquarters stop; and being
the major city on the Coos Bay line
which terminates here from the
Marsh field country.
Several trucking companies use Eu
gene as a headquarters office. Stage
lines to both north and south and
to all other points from here are
added to the transportation facilities
of the city.
Radiating from Eugene are various
recreation centers; including the
famed McKenzie rirer section, the
McKenzie pass and Three Sisters

Railroads have suffered not only the
general decline in business but the

air, land and water, but things are

! scores of enginemen and trainmen
have been returned to regular sched

future.
Most hopeful of the signs In rail
roading is the new equipment now
under experimentation which railroad
men believe will enable them to meet
all their competitors in speed and
comfort and cheapness of transportation.
When the Union Pacific showed
its new aluminum stream-lined train
in Eugene more than 12.000 people
passed through to inspect the outfit
in 12 hours. Faster and more fre
quent trains in both freight and pas
senger service is the prediction of
forward looking railroaders.

the forerunner of trains which will

THE
PIONEER
SPIRIT
The fine old qualities of vision, courage, perseverance, integ-
rity, honesty and co-operation have never changed. We can
have and need these same grand Pioneer Qualities, just as our
fore-fathers needed them.
This we take it, is the motive back of The OREGON TRAIL
PAGEANT to revive in us some of this PIONEER SPIRIT.
LET US NOT FORGET IT. It was the vision of some of
Lane County's Earliest Pioneers that started The EUGENE
MILL and ELEVATOR COMPANY .
These Noble People had the vision to realise the importance of
a Flour Mill and Grain Elevator here in Lane County to serve the
farmers with a cash market for their grain and to supply the
people of Western Oregon with a good flour out of which to
make the "Staff of Life."
Their honesty and fair dealing gained for them a reputation beyond dispute.
This same firm now manufacturing:
" Feather flake Flour and Feeds"
Is striving to maintain and perpetuate this Ideal and Reputation;
