That so young a city has so elaborate a plan In view and with every reaa-mable hope that it. will ere long lie carried out is a matter for congratulation to the citizens of Eugene. There 1» an abundance of trees In the residence section of Eugene, with lawn, flowers, pampas grass and the like, and when the Improvement, spirit took posemion of tho town It was found that, the hideous telegraph, telephone, electric light and trolley poles did not add at all to the charm of Vhe city streets. Not being able to relegate th«-m to an underground conduit the citizens determined tn render them as unobtrusive as possi­ ble by painting them green. It is really remarkable how much less hideous they are when thus disguised by a coat, of paint. It is now pr ojMmed to discontinue the use of the overhead arc lights on some of the most prom­ inent. residence streets and substi­ tute therefore side lights, large opaque globes, sustained by orna­ mental iron-work brackets.
