T1PW Pit V hall, and the extension of electrio lines over the city and sur rounding country ought to mean a busy yoar during 1909, and the Eugene spirit must rise to .the occasion and secure all these things, while incidentally adding another 5000 to our popula tion. The success of past efforts should only prove as a spur to greater activity in the future, There is nohing growing faster in all the great Northwest than Eugene except The Guard's subscription list. We are printing 2200 dailies and 1800 weeklies, making a combined circulation of 4000, which means 20,000 regular readers, based upon the approved estimate of five readers to each regular sub scriber a pretty big family that awaits each day or week, as the case may be, the arrival of The Guard with its budget of local and general news. A newspaper can always be relied upon as a pretty good barometer of business conditions, and in this connection The Guard will say that November's business was largest in amount of cash receipts this paper ever handled, and that this fall's busings has been 25 per cent greater than that of a year ago. These facts lead us to the conclusion that busi ness in Eugene generally is very much better now than it was during the same season of 1907. . - The United States government is at the present time a large owner of water power privileges, and investigation of these priv ileges is a matter of publio duty. In the absence of specific in tnrmatinn nnncerninsr its value, a water cower may be easily ac quired, and water power rights have thus gone from the control of-the government for a fraction of their real value, noi ior use ful development, but for speculative holding, which involves keeping them for long periods in an unproductive state. Enor mous water powers outside of the public domain are being procured at extremely low valuations, and although the develop ment of these nowers will undoubtedly be of ultimate value to the people at large, their extent and value should be matters of public record. Champ Clark says the result of the election in Missouri may safely be attributed to an "unusual concatenation of unfortunate circumstances, which on the doctrine of probabilities will not be duplicated in forty years." Now that is just exactly what we have thought about Missouri all along, and we took it for grant ed that everybody else knew that it was an unusual concatena tion or words to that effect, which had happened to that state in the last presidential election. "The wages of sin is death," says the good book, and the San Francisco situation only tends to emphasize this fact. What a trail of murder, suicide and misery has followed the ex posure of corruption there I Chief of Police Biggy is the latest victim of the inexorable scriptural truth. A Cleveland man, explaining the failure of the 3 -cent street car fare campaign in Cleveland, declares that it was due to the fact that 3-cent coin is not minted by the government, and he proceeds to urge the country's crying need of the "trickel," as he proposes to call the new coin. There is a suggestiveness in the word that might not add to its popularity. a mile of wire, but no mainemawcian nas yei iigurea out the ex art number of hours of torture it is capable of administering. under the hands of a robust performer. O There is a suspicion that Mayor Tom Johnsoj announced that he was "broke" just to try out tne naeiny oi nis inenfls. Better go slow in that line, Tommy, unless you Really wish to be friendless. Another sign of prosperity is the scared look in the eyes of tim nifimhera of the amalgamated order of work dodeers when they meet a man who looks like he might offer them a job. No, Algernon son, the electoral college has neither yell nor athletics, but it gets there just the same, and ite diploma carries $60,090 per. . We shouldn't be surprised if the Statement No. 1 legislators proved veritable stand-patters. t BUY IT IN EUGENE. - - Of the stores and Shops Advertising In The Guard.
