SESSION TONIGHT
( From Saturday's Guard).
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.
The meeting had been extensively
advrtised, programs having been pub
lished in every paper in the county as
well as many outside the county, and
as a result men from all parts of the,
state were in attendance.
Several of the principal speakers
arrived here on the afternoon train
today and were met at the depot by a

“More depends on the decision of
the decision of the interstate com
merce commission than on the finan
cial condition of the country, in re-
gard to the future of the logging in-
dustry of the Northwest,” said E. 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

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

IN STAMP SALES
Stamp sales at the Eugene postof
fice for the year 1907 exceeded those
of the previous year by 22463.64,
which is an increase of a fraction less
than 14 per cent. This indicates a
splendid growth of the city during
the paj<t year, a showing that all Eu-
gen Ians should point to with pride,
The total sales for the year were
120,71 9. 97, while In 1906 they were
118,256.33.
These figures are for
the stamp sales alone, the other busi
ness not being counted in. The sales
