TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1908
That fellow Castro is a pretty wise old dog, after all. He
gave out the Information that he was a very sick man and his
ailment would necessitate a surgical operation which could only
be performed in Europe. Then he- picked np his baggage and
boarded the' first steamer for the old country. Now it trans
pires that Castro was only using the plea of sickness as a pre
text to get out of Venezuela, which was rapidly becoming too
hot for him. And what is more he took along with him a big wad
of gold in the event of a rainy day, whioh is liable to overtake
almost any one. But he will never go back to govern Venezuela
not if he has his way about it.
Thirty years hence, according to "Jim" Hill, president of the
tfreat Northern Railroad, this country will have a population of
two hundred million. And they will all be contributors to the
coffers of the railroads, every one of them, Mr .Hill should add,
which no doubt lends to the magnates controlling the several
transcontinental lines a grand feeling of optimism for the fu
ture. But perhaps the aerial lines will be in operation by that
time and the railroads will be classed along with the ox-wagon3
of our ancestors. It is not well for even a railroad president to
liank too strongly on future inventions.
The total school and city tax for Eugene this year will be 17
mills, one mill less than last year. This is a splendid showing
considering the vast amount of public improvements that have
been made during the past year.
The Western Oregon, published at Cottage Grove, issued a
very attractive Christmas edition last week, profusely illustrated
and carrying a large amount olf local advertising.
The Cottage Grove Leader issued a very interesting special
edition Friday, devoted to the resources and advantages of
Southern Lane county.

PROMINENT SPOKANE
RESIDENT IS KILLED
Spokane, Dec. 22. Allan P. Gill,
niniincror or the IndopenOant asphalt
company, ex-city engineer and promi
nent In the Democratic pnrty, was ac
cidentally killed lust night at Moses
Inks through .an accidental dis
charge of his gun while duck hunting.
A telephone message this morning
from Dempster's store at Full-mount
stated tli nt the mall earrler for that
district had been lost, and that the
love-lorn youth of Falrmount are in
a dangerous condition. Prom other
sources mora directly connected with
the carrier service of Uncle Sam In
Eugene, the statement was made that
Santn Claus was having a great tus-
tussle with' Uncle Sam, and had won
the victory in Falrmount.
While the people of Falrmount are
mnllless, and are about to lose their
tempers, too, the condition which
has caused their anxiety is not unus
ual in every city In the country, and
will probably not be remedied until
some time after December 25.
