FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1908
A lady living near Skinner's Butte makes a timely sugges
tion to The Guard. She thinks the cutting of Christmas tree3
there should be prohibited, since this beautiful natural park,
now the property of the city, is suffering at the hands of boy3
who use the cutting of Christmas trees as an excuse for acts of
vandalism. Yesterday, khe states, a fine young tree thirty feet
high was cut down by boys and left lying on the ground where
it fell, and such wanton acts are of common occurrence. The
city authorities should at once take vigorous steps to protect the
"butte with its evergreen trees from such ravages, since it is des
tined in time, if properly cared for, to become Eugene's most
attractive public park, and the best way to do this would be to
prohibit the cutting of timber for any purpose thereon.

I gene, Dec. 17, 1908, Elles, the 9-year-i
old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. L.
j Mikkeisen, from toxic meningitis,
caused by ptomaine poisoning. The
, little girl, who was a twin, was ill
only a day. She had been at school
the day 'before and went home at
noon feeling badly but expected to
return In the afternoon. She was un
able to, however, having taken worse.
The funeral will be held Saturday af
ternoon at 2 o'clock with interment
In the I. O. O. F. cemetery.
Because the city council is honestly trying to give the people
relief in respect to water, light and power service, the members
p,re again being subjected to unjustifiable attacks from interest
ed parties. If the plain people of Eugene will think of their own
interests and not be mislead by the attacks upon the members of
(be city administration, made for misleading purposes, they will
see the wisdom of the movement being made to free the city
from the control of private corporation monopoly.
Senator Jeff Davis is still on the trail of the octopusbut he
isn't going to be still much longer he has given notice of an
other speech, which will incidentally go to prove that the stories
of his having lost his voice were greatly exaggerated.
