Eugene B trURDAY - ■' . f Guard FEBRUARY 2 — UNREASONABLE PREJUDICE. Th* Cottsge Grove Leader in urging that a steel bridge b* built I serosa tbe Coast Fork river at that place take* occsaion to *«y that the people of that part of tbe “county have been taxed to build a fine courthouae and jail in order that Eugene may ehin* and keep *tep with tbe foremost towna of Oregon,” and “a fine steel bridge at tipring field,” etc. If the Cottage Grove editor—and be ia a level headed gentleman—had oonaidered a moment be would not have written aueb etuff. The oourt house and jail were not built that Eugene might “shine,” but for tbe benefit of the entire county. There Was no extravagance in their build ing, while the old elrucluree were endured not a few year* after they were entirely inadequate for public needs. In fact tbe confinement of a human being in that old etone jail, no matter for what offense, was nothing but a public crime against humanity. We know whereof we write. Not mentioning tbe small, illy ventilated, ¡Doon- venient pnblio offioea in the old oourthouse, the invaluable oounty reoords had no security from fire, exoept that provided by tbe city of Eugene. The record vault would not have withstood tbe burning of the courthouse, exoept by aid of the fire department sustained by taxes of the citizens of Eugene. We cannot believe that th2 Cot tage Grove paper represents the aeuliment of the people of that community. It bae become chronic for Collage Grove newspapers to vent tbeir spleen against Eugene, and for noolber reason but it is the county seat. It is not right nor just. Eugene pays a large share of taxes—about oae-fiftn—is tbe nat ural trade center of the county, and has never failed to enoourage impr ivemente in roads and bridge* for every portion of tbe oounty. Our people even would aay nothing against tbe building of a steel bridge across the hundred fool river at CottageGrove, though with the abundanoe of timber al band it would seem like waste to plaoe a »teel bridge across such a narrow stream. Dr. Pierce’a Fa* vorite Praacri ption Doubles a Mother’s Joys and Halves Her Sorrows, It does this by a pre-natal pre paration in which the mother finds herself growing stronger mstead of weaker with each month. Instead of mutea and nervousness, there are healthy appetite, quiet nerves, and refreshing sleep. The mind’s con tent keep* pace with the body’s comfort. There is no anxiety, no dread of the approaching time of travail. When the birth hour comes it is practically painless, the recovery is rapid, and the mother finds herself abundantly able to nurse har child. "Favorite Prescription" contains no alcohol, neither opium, cocaine, nor any other narcotic. Sick women are invited to con sult Dr. Pierce by letter Jret of charge, and so obtain without cost the advice of a specialist in the diseases peculiar to women, All correspondence strictly private and sacredly confidential.

E J Fraxier, tbs real estate dealer, having returned from California yes terday after come five week»' visit in tbe “Golden State,” a G uard reporter found blm in bls office this morning busily engaged in clearing up bia ac- ca mu la tod correspondence, but he paused long enough to answer a few questions oonoerning bi* observation* while away. A* to tbe outlook of California as compared with Oregon, Mr Fraaier •aid: "I have traveled pretty much over tbe central part of tbe *tate In cluding tbe Sacramento valley» tbe Banta Clara valley, the Salinas valley and a portion of Bonoma and Ban Joa quin valleys. This includes tbe best agricultural portions of tbe state to gether with tbe great prune belt of Santa Clara.

This unfortunate condition, added to tbe excessive drought ot tbe past three year* and the consequent necessary expense In pre paring for irrigation in order to keep tbeir orchard* alive, And* tbe pruue raiaer in great financial embarrassment and as an inevitable result ail branches of business in tbe greet prune section* are very much depressed. “California’s plentiful precipitation this year I* unfortunately accompanied t»y unprecedented frosts which are very damaging to tbe semi-tropical vegetation ot tbe southern portion of the *tste.

Io »peaking of oil well* I would suggest to my Oregon friend* to leave ’oil stocks’ severely alone. The fellow with a ‘sure fortune’ will be here— don’t think he will overlook you. "Comparing tbe future proepect* of Dragon with those of California, I would say: The future of Oregon is surely bright—everything peinta to a season of prosperity unsurpassed in tbe history of the state.

HOW TO GAIN FLESH Persons have been known to gain a pound a day by taking an ounce of Scott's emulsicn. It is strange, but it often happens.
