WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1908
Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase!) awoke one night t.-om
a deep dream of peace,
And saw within the moonlight in his room, making It rich and
like a Illy In bloom,
An angel writing in a book of gold; exceeding peace had made
Ben Adhem bold,
: And to the presence In the room he said, "What wrltest thou?
The vision raised Its head,
And with a look made of all sweet accord, answered, "The names
of those who Hive the Lord."
"And Is mine one?" said Abou 'Nay, not so." Replied the angel.
Abou spoke more low,
But cheerily still: and said, "1 pray thee, then, write me as one
, that loves his fellow-men."
The angel wrote and vanished. The next nlghf It came again,' with
a great wakening light, '
And showed the names whom love of God. had blessed and lo!
Ben Adhem's name led the rest! Leigh Hunt.
Local architects think they should be allowed to prepare the
plans for the new Y. M.' O.'A. building and they are right. This
structure will be built by pppular contributions of Eugene people,
and the plans should be drawn by Eugene architects, the work
done by local contractors, and all the material and furnishings,
so far.as possible, purchased of Eugene businessmen. - The idea
of keeping the money at home and patronizing local people should
permeate the community not only in this instance, but on all oc
casions and at all times. "Buy it at home" is a motto that if ad
hered to by all our people will enhance Eugene's prosperity and
growth.
With work starting soon on a $60,000 government building
Tind $50,000 Y. M. C. A., the year 1909 will be auspiciously
ushered in, and The Guard predicts there will be much more
tuilding activity than during the year now closing, great as its
record has been. The early resumption of work on the Eugene
Springfield trolley line is another encouraging prospect, and
there is reason to believe that the coming" year will see extensive
developments in this respeot, which will have an important bear
ing on this oity's future as a commercial centre.
The government made a profit during the fiscal year which
ended June 30, 1908, of $10,541,371 on the coinage of silver,
mickel and one-cent bronze pieces. . This represents the differ
ence between the price paid by the government for the metals
and their coinage value. That's something of a monopoly, all
right, still we have heard of no complaints regarding it. So we
conclude that Unole Sam will go about his business of coining
the money and raking in the profits without let or hindrance. ,
The Guard's year book, which will be issued early in January,
will be neatly gotten up and profusely illustrated with entirely
new cuts , new pictures are being taken so that there will be none
of the shopworn cuts used. This little booklet will be just the
thing to send out in answer to Eastern inquirers, and will really
supply a want in this respect.
The Guard's business in all departments this fall has been so
largo th.at it has taxed the capacity of our new plant, which is the
largest; ami'best in the state outside of Portland. This we take
to bo an evidence that Eugene and Lane county are growing
faster than ever before, and that the volume 'of business in all
lines is much greater than it was
Anonymous letter-writers are having fim" With, the house

Medford, which claims to be the "best town between Port
land and Sacramento," boasts of total bank deposits of $634,
991. Here in Eugene we have one bank alone with about three
times that amount, and altogether our bank deposits amount to
upward of $2,500,000.
The report that J$hn D. Rockefeller had donated $50,000,
for the uplift of the people of the Orient was promptly denied.
It was probaby confused with some scheme of John's to educate
the Orientals in the e of ?il and by-products of the Standard.

We have notioed that the more talk there is about the trans
fer of the Panama canal the less there is about a man named
Cromwell being a member of the Taft cabinet. Maybe it is only
one of those coincidences. e
Still it isn't surprising that 94 per cent of the Federal ap
nointments in Mississippi by Roosevelt have been Democrats
during last' year. "
If the senate agrees with the house, it's going to cost $100

. Salem, Or., Dec. 22. The total
amount of revenue to be raised tor
state purposes for 1909 will be ap
proximately f 1,675,000, of which
about J400.000 will he derived from
Indirect sources, leaving $1,275,000
to be apportioned among the several
counties. This amount Is $125,000
greater than the levy two years ago.
The increase this year Is due In part
to the- holding up of the University
of Oregon 'appropriation bill last
year, by reason of which the levy for
1908 was at Che rate of $47,500 per
year, as approved by laws then in ex
istence. Since the appropriation bill
has gone Into effect, carrying an ap
propriation dating back to January
1, 1907, It will be necessary. In mak
ing 'the 1909 levy to Include a Uni
versity of Oregon deficit of about
$15-5,000. The 1909 levy will include
$100,000 for the purchase of the
Oregon City locks. Should the legis
lature repeal the locks appropriation
bill, this $100,000 will be in the
treasury subject to appropriation for
other purposes. One Installment of
$100,000 has already been levied. !
The levy will not be made until i
early in January,. 1909, but the total j
amount here indicated, $1,275,000, Is
close enough to the actual amount i
