Looking at Water Sources.
The Eugene water board has done well to instruct
its engineer to investigate the possibilities of water sup
ply from the McKenzie. There also should be investiga
tion of the possibilities ol J-ioat oreeK. Ana 01 any oiner
potential sources of supply. Most of all there should bo
i I O 1 1. II ' L
investigation oi xne ienr juko prujuuu
Now is the time for action looking toward the as
surance of a future adequate supply of pure water for
Eugene. It must bo a supply sufficient for a population
'many times larger than Eugene's present, population. It
must, to be permanently satisfactory, come into the city
under gravity flow. Itsasource must be so located that
it can be protected. .
It is highly desirable, though not absolutely esson
tial, that the water to be selected as permanent city
water shall be usable without nitration. Thus tar Clear
lake is the only source found whoso water would qualify
by this test. But possibly water which will bo pure
without filtration may bo found available nearer home.
Manifestly it will not bo found in the McKenzie nor in
Liost Creek. These carry silt and tne McKenzie in ad
dition carries impurities. Manifestly, too, water in the
McKenzie would be hard to protect unless the intakes
were far up in the headwaters. And if it wore there it
would not be very far from Clear lake.
wA complete survey of the water supply possibilities
for this district is highly desirable. With its results as
a basis limgeno will be in a position to choose that which
is x best.
The Prince Will Visit Us.
A facetious paragrapher recently romarked that it
would do the prince of Wales no good to travel incognito
wuue in mis country on jhh impending visit, douuuhu
everybody would recognize him anyway the first time
1)0 alighted from a horse. It is doubtful if this point of
view has become impressed upon tne prince, Dut be that
as it may ho has changed his mind and will make his
American . apponrnnce en persona royale.
The prince is a thoroughly amiable and likablo
chap, aocording to all reports. Ho is most intimately
known to most of us through news reels in the movies.
In these he always handles himself well. Ho never waits
to be led, but seems always to know just what to do next
and takes the load. In the turns ho usually appears
rather tired, lie moves through tbo various scenes in
which wo Boe him partioipato, with no particular show
of enjoyment, yot without appoaring to bo bored. The
impression ono gets while watching him is that what
ho is doing is all in tho day's work. Ono wondors what
his real enjoymonts are, if ho has any.
His royal 'father, we are told by tho dispatches,
wishes to have tho princo como to this country under
his highest titles and rank, as a mark of respoot to tho
Unitod States. And President Coolidgo, we are further
inlormod, closures that the prince" shall bo particularly
well looked after while in this country as a mark of
appreciation for tho fine way in which Socrotary Hughes
has been treated in England. So tho prinoo will bo en
tortained at the white house and will rocoive othor of
ficial attention. Altogether his visit will-be on evont of
interest on both sides of the Atluntio. And it will mnko
lots of nowspapcr copy.
H ' Seorgii A.' Wiiiie, adjutant genoral of Oregon, has
received deserved recognition from tho war department
in his appointment to be a brigodior general of tho lino
with command of the national guard troops of Oregon
and Idaho. Oeneral Whito long ago brought the Oregon
national guard to a high degroo of efficiency through
his own personal efforts. Ho has a record of competent
aotive sorvico in tho Spanish-American war and the
1'hiiippinoB rebellion; tho expedition to tho Mexican bor
der and Uio world war. Ho has long hold rank as a
brigadier general of tho staff. He is a deep student of
military science and tactics. His appointment to the
line brings to Oregon the location of on army brigado
neaaquoriors.
The Guard belioves its readers are entitled to full
information as to what the various candidates for presi
dent stand for. Therefore it has published in full the
acceptahoo speech of John W. Davis, tho democratic
candidate Therefore also it will publish tho full ac
ceptance speocn ot iwr. uoolidgo and the keynoto speech
of Senator La Toilette as soon as they becomo available.
George L. Cleavor, state prohibition officer, is active
in organizing the campaign in Oregon for LaFolletto,
who is declared wet. Thus politics continues to make
strange bedfellows. One wonders what Govornor Tierce,
who is supporting Davis ond who is dry, thinks of
Cleaver, who between liquor raids is campaigning for
tho wet rival candidate.
Experience in ninny cities has demonstrated that
fraternities are out of plnco in tho high schools; that
they aro a disturbing influence and that interference
with school work is ono of tho chief things which grows
out of them. The Eugene school board has acted with
wisdom in barring them from the schools hore.
Six thousand men are employed in tho Southern
Jfacitio cut-off construction work, according to an esti
mate by Klamath Falls firms which aro supplying the
camps. It is the largest railroad construction" activity
now in progress anywhere. Much of it is at Eugcno's
door and it all leads this way.

A CASE OF NERVES
Chapter 80
Saturday afternon at 6 o'clock
Leah and Peter boarded a train at
the Grand Central atatlon and were
soon speeding northward toward the
dreaded reality of Rosalind ap
proaching marriage.
Peter swung a big suitcase to the
reck above their heads, and fitted
another one under the scat, He bad
X....I oA that ther . carry their
clothes together In one bsg, but Leah
declared it ImpussiDie.
"I need lots of space for this dress,
Peter," she had told him, when they
were getting ready. - "I can't wear it
if it's all crushed and wrinkled." She
waa not taking any chances of injur
ing the wonderful flame colored
georgette. , ' '
Peter pulled out his watch snd
looked st it.
"I hope they send a car down to
the station to meet us. We don't
want to lose a lot ot time hunting
up a broken down' taxi in that old
country town. We might Just as well
hsve taken an earlier train if we
had not written for them to meet this
one," (Peter suggested.
"No, I'm glad we didn't," Leah said
quickly, and hardly aware that she
waa showing her feelings so plainly.
"I don't want to be banging around
a couple of hours before the wedding,
with nothing to do but listen to Aunt
Charlotte's stupid ravings of how
beautiful Rosalind is, and of what a
wonderful person she is going to have
for: son-in-law. Now we'll have
just time enough to get dressed be
fore the wedding."
Peter let his gaxe turn from the
window to his wife's fsce. Peter hsd
never made en intensive study of the
feminine mind, and lately he had been
getting a few surprises. "Women
certainly have some strange feelings
about each other," he thought

"Are you sure you brought every
thing in your suitcase, Peter?" Leah
questioned suddenly. "Tour pstent
leather shoes and a white necktie
and I hope you put in plenty of clean
handkerchiefs?" -
"Sure thing!" Peter assured her.
He noticed that Leah seemed unusu
ally nervous. He didn't care much
about the affair himself. He hated
getting all dolled np, and then having
to take the trip home again late that
night.
