Can know the mighty rapture. Sorrows come ;
To stretch out spaces In the heart for Joy.

NEXT STEP IN EUGENE'S PROGRESS .
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

to thinking about the next step. 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.
