The rn-’ss meeting held at the court house this afternoon under the aus pices of the Lane County Horticultu ral Society and the Eugene Commer cial Club, was largely attended and was the most successful meeting of its kind ever held in Eugene.

E. McClaren, a well-known logger, thlx morning. “The commission will, on March 4, decide the question of tho freight rates on lumber East, and If this decision should be favorable to tho sawmill men of the Northwest, work in the logging camps will be resumed Immediately. If It is averse then I cannot say when tho logging camps will begin to operate again to any extent. "At present only a few men are employed In 1 lie camps of Oregon and Washington, and these are kept with a view to increase tho force should the interstate commerce commission come to the rescue of the logging in dustry. There are thousands of men Idle In every logging camp and lum- ber mlll region, and these are watch- Ing for the decision at Washington city as eagerly as are the owners of tho timber lands and mills. It is true that thousands of men thrown out of work by the raise In freight rates East have gone south, but there are also thousands who have families depending on them, and these men cannot pick up their belongings and flit away like the single men can. A decision favorable to the timber in- terests of the state cannot reach the ears of these men too soon, as tho funds they had accumulated are be- Ing frittered away.”—Portland Tel egram.
