SATURDAYrFEBEUARY 13, 1909. OREGON'S DAY TO JUBILATE. The State of Oregon wi'l be fifty years old tomorrow, having been admitted to the Urion on February 14, 1859. Exercises commemorating, the semi-centennial were held in the State legislature and today the celebration is being continued in va rious forms throughout the Commonwealth, especially in Eu gene. Especially notable are the celebrations arranged by the State Historical Society and the University of Oregon. "... Oregon feels that she has every reason to be proud of tbe record of her progress and development during the half century that has elapsed since her admission to statehood. Her early history is identified almost wholly with the fur trade. Astoria, the great centor of the fur industry in early days, was founded in 1811. It was mair.ly set'tled by immigrants from New Eng land, and from that section of the country many settlers have '"continued to come even up to the present day.; ' .-., , .In its natural resources Oregon is almost without a rival among the states of the Union. Minerals abound in great nuiri- ;' bes and variety while one of the greatest sources of her wealth ;ia'in her forests. The gigantic and valuable yellow pine is ex . J'ortfd to all parts of the world. In the catcjiing and canning of aajfjion, Orpgon leads the world. Farming, stock raising,. fruit growing.and dairying are'eonducted on a large scale. Manufac turers have beer, of recent but rapid development .promoted -largely by abundant waterpower. Oregon, at 'the time of her admission to statehood, had a population of about 50,000 white people At the present time her population, is estimated at 7130,000, and the total assessed yalution of property is close to $190,-000,000. ' . " The state printer has issued aVeport, printed, of .squrse, at the expense of the state, .in which he shows that the regular ap propriation of $60,000 for the expenses of his -office, made two. years ago, is not enough by over $25,000 on account. of "new work." This means that' the state printer's bills have aggre- gated over $8.5,00.0 in two years; of which it is safe to say fully $50, 000. is net profit to him, as he admits in his report that the rates established in 1878 are unreasonably high, No' wonder the present Incumbent is willing to quit at the end of his term, because with two years more of this rich picking he will leave the office a rich man and probably have influence enough to sell his plant to the state for more than it is worth. A legislature, which claims the right to raise the salaries of officials at will during their terms of office, has altogether too much regard for the technical legal points involved to cut off the state printer's graft before the expiration of Dunniway's term, although the latter was aware when he accepted the office that the people had voted, under the initiative system, by an overwhelming ma jority, to put the state printer on a flat salary. The unique idea of placing temperance upon u commercial basis, of considering the difference between the actual cash value of a man who drinks and the man who abstains, is car ried all thidugh Professor Hopkins' latest book, ' Profits and Loss in Man," which has just come from the press of Funk & Wagnalls Co., a New York publishing concern. Professor Hop kins claims that each man twenty-one years of age represents to socioty a cost of two thousand dollars. Since there are in this nation two and a half millions of drunkards of that age the stupendous sum of five billions of dollars invested in fail- - ures men who are not qualified to earn enough money over and above living expenses is the result. The professor's idoa is quite new, and for that reason no doubt his book will be read , with considerable interest. The funny pnragraphers who perpetrate alleged jokes re garding tho bad aim of tho gentler sex when handling firearms or throwing stones at a marauding hen in the back yard, can write any amount of funnyisms over the incident of the wife of the Oakland (Calif.) detectivo who shot her husband in the back of the head tho other night in an effort to save his life from the attacks of a highwayman. Of course the thug got away while the husband is in the hospital, and it is said to be doubtful if he will rocovor. tion of importance received the people ji Eugene comes NESMITH COUNTY through the Daily Guard, and they appreciate tbi? fact in a-sub- . d,00MERS WILL FIGHT stantiaf way. . j . , . Commonwealth day in Eugene is likefy to become a great annual event, as it was auspiciously inaugurated today . It is an idea conceived by the faculty of the State University and is in all respects a good orA. ... Newspapers and magazines are showing what a strenuous time the Lincoln scrap books have been having. Yet, not even Roosevelt has bee.n more abused than was Lincoln when he was President. All the other Stat.es are becoming panic-stricken for fear that Nevada ,the giant of the Union, may take a notion to give them aspanking, instead of" merely taking their money for mining stocks that forget to pay dividends. A lady writer says "Americans should visit Europe to gather wisdom." Perhaps they should, but the evidence shows that they visit it to scatter good money mostly. Some men will never be convinced that $33 per capita is right, until -the Secretary of the Treasury backs up the official statement by giving them theirs. Sure; let the eagle scream . Native Americans beat the world even in law-breaking , according to the court statistics of New York city for 1908. Chauncey Depew has told us of Lincoln as he knew him, but, alas, Lincoln cannot tell us of Chauncey as he knew him, if he ever did.

The Cottage Grovo Leader discuss es the county division situation and expresses the sentiment of Its city in the following editorial, which will be of Interest to our people: "The Saturday Eugene Guard con tained a very well written concitia ioTy editorial, counselling Cottage Grove to forget It, contending that we had lost in our county division contest and should take our bitter dose without making an ugly face . i-hn r-narrf rpflnons well aooui it. u " but It is wasting its sweetness on the desert air, as it were We are not licked yet! We are only sparring for wind The scrap has only just be- gun and as Lawyer Williams and oth er esteemed Eugene citizens told the committee on counties at Salem, It Is a fight to the last ditch." and as .... vol ti the last d tell. . i .,un c..ivfi.t flimi-fl . we can only regain mo - editorial as a kind of a flag of truce, -ni... a a nr.

Aye, there's the rub! Does the Guard regard the curt and discourteous manner In which the Cottage Grove r..,Qoi..t Plnh'a coiintv division conference with the Eugene club was brought to an anrupi ciose, us""" fair? or the numerous misrepresen tations to the legislative committee; Bean's attempt to Intimidate his col leagues In the house, who showed a disposition to favor county division and the creation of Nesmlth county, we ask, is all this "fighting fair?" No, it looks more like "anything's fair, in war campaign anu as umi i what Eugene seems to have . been seeking from 'the first, for the next year and a half, we will try and ac comodate her. In the meantime, we do not care to read any more rose water obituaries for Nesmlth county, nor select prose about what a gallant fight we put up. Walt until the fight is over.
