Eugene, .egou. , SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1908 The recent death by suffocation of two young sisters in a poor lodging house of the East Side, New York, was surrounded by unusually pathetic features, according to the papers of that city. The two girls, one seventeen, the other nineteen years of age, came to the United States from Russia to make a living for themselves, and eventually to prepare the way for the emigra-' tion of the other members of their family from Russia. All day they worked in a sweatshop and at night they studied English and other things. For themselves they spent only enough of their meagre earnings to keep them alive; the rest they placed in a savings bank, with a view of sending for their folks when the hoard had grown to adequate proportions. Eagerly they await ed the time when they could bring about the reunion of the fam ily and at last they had saved enough for that purpose. They had written a letter to their parents in Moscow, in which they informed them that, the money for their journey was ready. It was their intention to so time the letter that it would reach their parents at Christmas. The letter was never sent. The other night one of the girls, before going to bed, accidentally turned on the gas in their room and when they were found in the morning both girls were dead. .Thus the happy Christmas time has its tragedies, and of these the most pathetic are en acted in the crowded districts of the city only a few minutes' "walk from the crowded pavement of Broadway, with its glare of lights and glitter of diamonds. BIG UNION REVIVAL MEETING BEGINS .- MONDAY. DEC. U . H.

More than three thousand have made public profession in the short time he has worked on the coast and in the East. Mr. Jones was known as an unusually successful pastor of one of Buffalo's (N. Y.) large churches. Mr. Spear, who directs the chorus work, is a graduate of the Moody school of music and comes highly recommended' by the great evange- llst, Dwight L. Moody, and Prof. D, B. Towner, the successor or Ira u, Qnnlrav So successful has been Mr. Spear bun in hi meetings for boys ana girls, where his abilities as singer and chalk artist find ready appreci ation, that he is called the children a evangelist. Mrs. Spear Is a singer of rare power and will add much to the musical attractions of the meetings. v aiTl HATS REDUCED. Miss McCallum. the milliner, with rooms at 12 and 14 First National Bank Building, announces a sweep ing reduction in all lines of hats. It will nnv vnn tn buV HOW.' tf Before the Ways and Means Committee of congress recently the Booth-Kelly Lumber Company, of this city, made an argu ment against the entrance into this country, duty free, of Cana dian Lumber. They contended that such foreign competition would tend to reduce prices and the result would be a great waste of our. forest, resources. The company contends that at the present time oyer 40 per cent, of the forests of Oregon and Washington are wasted, owing to the inability to find a profit able market for the common grades. Additional competition, they argue, would not tend to a reduction in the already enor mous waste. They exhibited photographs of lands logged off while the lumber was at a fair price, and also those worked over when the market was at a lower level, in order to illustrate their contention. t EUGENE AND ALBANY HE IN BASKETBALL GAMMA PHI BETA SORORITY IS INSTITUTED AT STATE UNIVERSITY :Only Girls' Sorority in College Affiliated With Nation al Organization MORNING PAPER REPUDIATES IIS OWN PLATFORM Corporation Organ Condemns Council for Acting Upon Its Own Advice . 1 -.-1 i U " 1 A. V t Some persons have the most wonderful, almost indecent luck. They fall into a sewer and are pulled out with a gold watch and chain in their mouth; they are laughed at because they bought some apparently worthless stofik for thirty cents a share and a few days later the same stock leaps up to $50 a share. To that class of favorites of Dame Fortune evidently belongs the New York shop girl, who was robbed of her week's wages, amounting to $10, the other day while she was riding home on the car. Strange to say, the girl carried her wealth in a pocket in the lower part of her dress. When she reached her home she found the pocketbook with the ten dollars gone, and in its place a big $200 diamond, which had dropped out of the thief's ring while he was picking her pocket. Probably it will prove a very good thing in the end that the city council has been enjoined from going ahead with the instal lation of a power plant. ' If the city must always pay tribute to a private corporation, it is a good time to find it out and then we can accept the inevitable and bow our necks to the yoke without nope or reiiel for all time to come. There will be some satisfac tion in having the suspense ended. If, on the other hand, the people reauy have a legal right to help themselves, the courts will probably, in due course of time, define that right so that something definite may be accomplished. Therefore let the le- gal inula proceed to grind. Dr. Lyman Abbott is a strong advooate of football as a de veioper of manliness and courage. In a sermon to Yale students 'tho nthpr rln.w ha anlrl nwmn u t.i n ... ,luuUg uluol iuiujs, : you can i develop a maniy courage without facing perils, and it is worth all it costs if it is necessary in order to get that courage." By "real perils" he meant the perils of the gridiron. Perharjs the WneH tleman is right, but how would it do to use a milder and less deathly method to develop courage among the college students? Would it not do to put the young men to work in a dynamite fac- wj, ut mine unaer irust management, or a submarine boat? 1 "Oood-morning; have the secret service men rot vou vt9 may become a regular before breakfast salutation between 'vuugieHamen. . The basketball game last evening played before a large crowd at the armory between the Albany and Eu gene high schools, ended under pro-j test. The score was a tie, 14 to 14, but the Eugene team claims a point, which should have been awarded, on a foul. It seemB that the Spauldlng official rules say that if a man 1b "hacked" while attempting to tnrow a basket the referee shall award one point to the side fouled and shall al low the basket, if thrown. Umpire Stine called a foul on Albany for hacking Koch, Eugene's forward. Referee Marquem ignored Stine and refused to award the point, claiming that the Eugene man was not trying to throw a basket. Now, the Eugene man was close to the basket and could easily have thrown one from that point. It seems ridiculous that a man with .easy reach of his own basket should have had any purpose for throwing the ball away from the goal. Numoroiis times, throughout the game the Eugene rooters bit their lips, endeavoring not to show their dtsgiiBt at rank decisions Dy tne Al bany referee in favor of his own team. The Eugene school has a reputa tion nf always Bhowing their visitors a good time, and dislikes wrangling, often preferlng to lose a point in order to keep good Bpirit. Not-only by decision, tout the attitude or tne Albany rooters Bhowed the school's poor sportsmanship. For instance, when the Eugene man was throwing a foul they would try to disconcert him. The Eugene hoys aid not re taliate but simply overlooked It and showed perfect respect when their opponents were throwing. To say the least, it is too bad this has happened, yet at the same time. those who were present realize tnat the Eugene boys took and stood as much as anyone could. During the game It was easily. seen that Albany was outplayed. The local boys seemed to have a streak of hard luck In throwing gaskets, but the team work they did didn't give Albany a chance to fry for many more than they threw. It Eugene can do better on basket accuracy they hnve a team that will be hard to de feat. Watson, although he had bad luck when throwing baskets last evening, was probably the star. He seems to be wound up and always alert to the ball. Mummy showed himself to be a star last night on defensive work nnd is un exceedingly bright player. Koch also deserves special note for brilliant playing. Burton easily out classed his man It center. Young and Green played alternated In the first and Becond half. The points were made as follows: Watson, 2;. Mummy, 4; Burton, 4; Koch, 4. . . . . There was a large crowd in at tendance. Although there Is a return game at Albany already scheduled, this tie will probably be played out in an other game here. The mistake made Inst evening was in allowing the teams' coaches as officials. in the first half the score stood 9 to 6 tn Eugene's favor. i A chanter of the Gamma Phi Beta sorority, a national organization, was instituted at the Tau Pi sorority house last night with twenty-three local members, the organization of the latter, a purely local society, be ing merged into that of the national association. Miss Edith Prosch, of Seattle, had the work of Initiation in charge and she was assisted by Miss Carolyn Benson, of. Stanford; Miss Alice Benson, of California; Miss Tessie Preston, of Seattle; Miss Helen McDonald, of Seattle; - Miss. Lilian Beisenheis, and Miss Ruth Guppey, of Ann Arbor. Tonight at Otto's grill the new chapter will hold a banquet at which several alumni members, besides the local members and those who had change of the initiation work, will attend. Covers will be laid , for about thirty-three. This is the first 'national sorority to be organized at tfie University of Oregon,' and is the thirteenth' in the United. States. It is the fourth-on the coast, the others being at University of Washington, Stanford University and University of California. The Gama Phi Beta is a very conserva tive organization and Is foremost among the sororities in the United States. The local members are aa follows: Misses Neita Harding, Jen nie Perry, Gladys Farrar, Jessie Hurley, Blanche Huston, Vivian Holmes, Ruth Hansen, Ruth Dunnl way, Mary Steiwer, Gertrude Holmes, Pearl Wilbur, Edith Woodcock, Helen Beach,: Erma Clifford, Javlna Stanfleld, Pearl McKenna, Grace Grey, Jean Gray, Mary .Grey, Edna Caufleld, Clara Caufleld, Constance Covell and Josephine Cameron. The following "platform" of the Morning Register was run practical ly the entire month of September, preceding the late bond election: No comment 1b necessary except to call attention to the fact that the morn ing paper has again' repudiated Its pledges to the public and Is opposing the pumping plant proposition that It then declared itself unequivocally in favor of. It was then anything to defeat the bonds," now it is "any thing to defeat the power plant," be cause It has been ordered by the corporation that controls it to break faith with the puDllc. Tne "local capitalists" who were then pledged to "snap" up the $160,000 bond issue have not yet appeared on the scene unless the snappy way In which they have rushed the injunction proceed ings may be 'construed as the carry ing out of this fledge- Out of Us own mouth comes the condemnation of its acts, and It places the 'brand Ananias upon Its own utterances In today's editorial. The Register's platform follows: , No gravity system until the city can go to the snow line beyond small, foothill streams for its sup ply. No gravity system from any sec tion whore the watershed can not be controlled.
