Weekly Eugene Guard S aturday march ae Note and Comment. A California jury baa fixed a value on a leg—at least for a dancing leg. \nlta Kelly, a |New York society girl, has been given a verdict of *38,- 397 60 against a Lower California re port hotel company for the lose of a leg iu an elevator accident. We can imagine what the jury allowed her the thirty-eight thousand for- but the sixty cents! We shall sleep better when we get the Ranta Barbara papers explaining what the jury allowed the three score cents for. A'tand the “(loo, ■ load” meeting at the courthouse tomorrow after noon at i o'clock and get jour neigh bor to i o too. Don’t say that yon live in town and never travel the roads and have no interest in their better ment. There would be no towns ex cept for the country. We are all mu tually interested iu road improve meiite, even though we do not travel them. The Farmer’? Friends The following dispatch to (he Guard shows how 'protection protects the farmer.

Washington, March 23. -Democratic tariff revisionists on the house com mittee on ways and means made an assault on the Dingley bill this morn ing, Wi’linms demanded a vote on his bill putting salt and other com modities on the free list. He got it, and also defeat along partisan lines. Clark,of Mis.-ouri, made a similar de mand in behalf of his bill, taking the tariff off binding twine, wood pulp and agricultural implements. The bill was killed. is the strenuous denial of Mormon ism on the part of formal Senator Kafflins a quiet tip that Barkis would be wilin’ to try again for the senate Japan’s written history extends back a period of 00 years. Hut Rus sia is more interested in the unwrit ten history of the spunky little na ton for ’he current period. The Atlanta Journal remarks that "In Georgia, cooks make corn into ackes; in Kentucky the natives drink it, and in Kansas the farmer burns it for fuel.” But the Journal is mis taken as to Kentucky, where they first make a mash on it. They may drink it in the original form in Georgia, but in Kentucky I! is first liquidized, aged, beaded ami then reverently im billed. It is told of the late 1’. D.

The Sacramento river’s bed _ is _______ about __________ on a level _____ with t e country in uot a little of its val- 1 y course, being held by immense levees. Just now the river is at flood and a break iu the levee causes great damage. The San Joaquin river, also at flood, broke a levee the last of tbe week, tbe water running thirty feet deep through the break. Of course, all of that height is not above the lev el of the surrounding country, but most of it is. This break flooded 10,- TO0 acres of valuable land, much of it Springfield Branch Will Be Con nected With Main Line and planted to asparagus. The loss is es timated at $2,500,000.
