The city of Eugene is now the widest known, best-advertised town in the West, outside of a half dozen of the really large cit ies. Oo almost anywhere you please and you will find people have heard of Eugene and its wonderful progress during the past two years; that this thorough publicity has resulted in a great influx of population and will bear fruit for a long time to come even if the publicity program was to be curtailed to some extent at this time is self-evident. In what direction, then, should the efforts of the Commercial Club managers be most directed, in order to insure permanent growth and prosperity, la the question that should be thoroughly discussed and definitely answered to the satisfaction of those who have the good of the community at heart. The Guard, therefore, has certain sugges tions to make, not in a spirit of criticism, but rather of advice, in order to open up to discussion matters that are of deep con cern to, the energetic city-builders whose efforts have done so 'much to push Eugene ahead during the year just closing. It is admitted that we have need of more factories with their attendant payrolls, and general distribution of money among the people. These may be secured, it seems to us, first, by direct effort to secure at least one large concern that seems most adapted to our resources. For instance, Lane county fruit growers are forced to import their fruit boxes, and local sash and door factories have been unable to supply even the home demand during the past year. This is a lumbering centre, and it seems as if a united and persevering effort on the part of the commercial body might secure the establishment here of a sash and door and boz factory, employing hundreds of men. Or, Eu gene would seem an excellent location for a large furniture fac tory or a milk condensery, the resources of the country being adopted to suoh industries. While in Chehalis, Wash., the other day, the .writer was shown through a condensed milk factory, where an average of 100 persons are employed in the manufac ture of "Carnation Cream." The factory payroll, however, is a small item compared with the other benefits derived from the industry. The factory paid to the farmers of Lewis county this year $250,000 for milk, which they gathered up at the farm houses with their own wagons. As a result the farmers are highly prosperous, and the industry is only in its infancy, the fac toiy expocling to doutle its output within a couple of years more. In the same town a. furniture factory employs 200 men, and the postmasture took a great deal of pride in showing us the fixtures of his office all manufactured at home. The securing of one suoh industry, either of which should find Eugene an ideal location, would be a beginning in the right direction,, and if the Commercial Club did nothing more in the whole year to come it would be worth to the city ten times what it costs to keep the promotion department supplied with funds. Another plan, if factories of importance cannot be brought in by direct effort at this time, would be to centre all efforts on se curing another railroad, electrio or steam, to the coast, to Port land or any other outlet. . Then in turn added transportation fa cilities would be sure to attract to Eugene those capitalists who are looking for profitable factory investments, and the furniture and sash and door factories, similar industries would be secured with little effort. The biuld ing of the so-called Natron extension by Harriman would go far toward solving the railroad problem, and it is doubtful if any lo cal influence would help or hasten this project. The Oregon Elec tric road, now operating between Portland and Salem, would help a great deal if extended to Eugene, as it eventually will be, ' so its owners assert, and we have always thought that sufficient local inducements might be offered to cause its early completion to this city. This would well be worth a special effort. If neither factories nor railroads are within our reach, after due investigation, there remains tbe policy of intensified devel opment of the valley about Eugene. The encouragement of cap italists to secure the large farms ar.d place them on the market in snall tracts, suitable for poultry, fruit afld bej-ry farming, and the keeping of a limited number of good dairy ciJWs. .Canneries and creameries sufficient to make a market for such products would be easily seoured because they do not require expensive plants. In Southern Oregon and in the Hood River district such a policy' of exploitation of resources has brought great proscprity and enhanced land values wonderfully. If systematically gone into here the country might in a few years be brought up to a state of development tltat would make Ecne a prosperous city of 25,000 people even without any extensive' payroll industries or additional railroads. These suggestions are made only with a view to set people DAILY GUARD fltindnv's excanted.

We have taken the first an the effort has been amply rewarded in growing population, com posed of seekers for employment, for investment, for homes. We must take care of these people, and our active Commercial Club, which has succeeded admirably in its publicity campaign, is relied upon to choose and outline the course of action that will insure the full fruition of all our hopes for a greater Eugene, surrounded by a greater Lane county.

Evi dently there is something radically wrong with the street clean ing department and it ought to be remedied. Every hobo in the country would enthusiastically endorse the idea of reforming him by rewards, instead of punishment, if the rewards were not conditioned upon his doing a little work. Cut out the work and he's for it to the death if need be! Nobody is getting more fun out of the country life commis sion than the farmers, who as a class have a lively sense of hu mor, some very wise men to the contrary notwithstanding.

' ' ilrJf CANDIDATES WORKING HARD THIS WEEK Are any of the Seattle Exposition candidates going to win that 5,000 special vote coupon on New Year's day? Well, we should say so. One young lady brought in a three year's subscription to The Daily Guard from one of her friends yesterday, along with several other yearly subscrip tion and that Is going some.. Oth ers are working just as hard with fully as good results. The fact that coupons representing 300,000 votes were issued in the Guard business of fice yesterday Is evidence that the candidates are not wasting any time this week. The great special offer that appeals to the contestants is tbe fact that every candidate who has a total of 20,000 or more will be given a special coupon of 5,000 votes. on New Year's day SiKClnl Offer.
