Come to Eugene.
It wasgsriginally intended to begin

county December 2tith, 1879, being
now 25 years of age.
He belongs to a sturdy line of pio
neers, bis grandfather npon bis moth

grandfather upon hl» father’s site
laving arrived only a few years later.
Although raised upon a farm near
Goshen, Oregon, he had all tbe ad
vantages of tbe education obtained at
tbe University of Oregon. In 1898 be
was admitted to tba practice of law
by the Supreme court of the State of
i
Oregon, and finished bls law educa
tion at the University of Michigan, at
Ann Arbor. Mr. Edmunson is now
interested in a bop ranch at Goshen,
and is also a practicing attorney iu
Eugene. Fraternally he is connected
with the Masonic lodge.
He is a young man of marked abil
ity and of unquestioned integrity, 1
and the citizens of Lane county will
make no mistake If they send him to
the legislature.
It is time that Eugene was making
preparations for the usual Fourth of
July celebration. The people of the
surrounding country expeci it -they
don't want to go elsewhere. And our
people, of course, with few excep
tions, want to celebrate at home. It
is not only a matter of convenience
bat one involving finances, too. We
bare seen a time or two when Eugene
didn't celebrate. And there were vain
regrets afterward for the lack of civic
pride.
