One of two things is certain—Biggy fell off the boat when in a drunken stupor, or else he has fled the country as some suspect. In either case En gineer Murphy, who was in charge of that police launch, can ex plain the mystery, if he will . By order of the New York park authorities, so the newspa pers tell us, a census of the squirrels in Central Park was taken the other day. Many years ago squirrels were so numerous in Central Park and their number increased so rapidly, that it was necessary to shoot a large number every year to prevent them from becoming nuisances. It was ascertained by the cen sus that the number of squirrels had greatly decreased during the last two years, so much, in fact, that it will be necessary to restock Central Pork with squirrels next year. Two reasons are given to account for this decrease in the number of squir rels. The squirrels are fed so liberally by visitors that they have practically abandoned their way of living like wild creatures. They have become lazy and inactive and enervated by their op ulent way of living. The result has been that the squirrels do no'. n<dr at all or, if t1 cy do. they raise much smaller families that heretofore. Another cause of their decline in numbers is that hundreds of them are run over and killed or crippled by auto mobiles every year. The squirrels have become fat by over feeding and are no longer able to avoid automobiles going at a rapid clip. All this teaches a powerful lesson, as it illustrates how unavoidably luxury and hyper-civilization will lead to race suicide. The families of great wealth in the United States and elsewhere, but more so in this country than in Europe, are rap- dily gravitating toward extinction. Their complete extinction can be prevented only by the infusion of new blood, not the blue bloou of aristocracy, but the healthy, strongly pulsating red blood of vigorous manhood. President E J. Ross, of thv Washington State Dairyman s Association, and numerous other members of that organization will participate in the convention of the Oregon State Dairy As sociation in Salem Thursday and Friday of this week. Electric power has been installed in the exhibit hall for working exhibits, and handsome cups are to be given as prizes, appropriately en graved. and assurance of dairy and creamery exhibits are com ing in to the secretary daily. Salem people have arranged a splendid reception for their guests. Oregon dairymen will be well represented at the Washington meeting in Chehalis next week. Collier's Weekly, which is credited with being able to look about as far into the interior of a millstone as the next person, advises everybody to bulid at once, whether they have the money or not. That paper s ays: “If you intend to build soon, "*i do it now. Borrow, if ncc ■ssnry, whatever, under your circumstances is a prudent a mount. Money loans at the lo\ < rate for years; labor is a little less costly than it has been to: years—much lower than it will be for a long time to come. The materials for construction .especially lumber, are very cheap. Flooring, in most localities, is 20 per cent below its price a year ago, and hardwood may be had for the former cost of soft wod.” The editor of the Visalia (Cal.) Times says: ‘ To a man up a tree it appears that Biggy is not dead, but has just dropped out of sight, and that it will appear that way until his dead body is found.” And this is the opinion of a great many people, al- Afraid of Ghosts Junction City, Dec. 8.- At the an-, nual cijy election held here yester day. the following were elected coun- cilmen: Fred C Peil, Forrest G.

The Guard has received with the author’s compliments a copy of “Pioneer Life.” The author, Uncle Sam Handsaker, is well-known in Lane and Douglas counties, where he came as a pioneer in early days. His bcrok will be but another of the many contributions the author has made to the well-being of his fel lows. It tells in simple style the true story of pioneer experi ences in crossing the plains, in fighting Indians and in the hum ble log cabin. To us who have come at a later day and who may have been tempted to criticize the stage of development we found, this and similar books are an explanation of the difficulties found and overcome, conditions unknown to us. The book is well bound in cloth and is sold by the author at the price of one dollar a copy. ELECTION AT JUNCTION CITY YESTERDAY Many suggestions have been made as to what should be done for our ex-presidents, but nobody seems to care a continental about doing anything for the ex-candidates. This doesn't seem to be exactly a square deal, somehow. Eugene has spent $227,000 in one year for street paving. Where is there another town of 10,000 on the Pacific coast that can equal this record? If Eugene keeps on plugging for a new hotel it will get there before long. Keeping everlastingly at it brings success.

This is the Case With Many Eugene People. —— • Too many Eugene citizens are handicapped with a bad back, The unceasing pain causes constant mis- ery, making work a burden and stooping or lifting an impossibility. The back aches at night, preventing refreshing rest and in the morning is stiff and lanie. Plasters and lini ments may give relief but cannot reach the cause. To eliminate the pain« and aches you must cure the kidneys. Doan’s Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and cure them permanently. Can you doubt Eugene evidence? Mrs. R. W. Kirkpatrick, Mt W. Seventh St., Eugene, says: "Hear ing good reports about Doan’s Kid ney Pills from people I knew, I was led to get a supply at De Ratio’s drug store. From the gratifying results which myself and child received from their use I can conscientiously say that Doan's Kidney Pills do all that Is claimed for them. 1 deem it a pleasure to give them niv endorse ment.” For sale by all dealers.
