January 1, the day of the. clean
shite, tbe smiling face, and the fresh
start, was observed quietly iq Eugene
today. t
The infant wearing a single
garment and a winning smile, was left
on the city's doorstep at 12 o'clock
last night, while parties, dances and
other entertainments reached the
peak of their merriment.
Old Man 1024 left in silence. No
one knew where lie went, and no one
cared. His heritage of community
progress is the chief thing by which
he will be remembered. His declining
days of freezing weather may never
be forgotten.
Arrival of the New Year was mark
ed with blasts from whistles, clang
ing bells, and noisy songs in various
parts of the city.
Prisoners in tjie counly jail, nearly
half a hundred of them, warbled
"When. the ltoll is Called Up Yonder,
I'll Be There," nud other old-time
gospel hymns nt 11 o'clock, someone
making a mistake and starting the
celebration too early.-
Crowds assembled nt the I. O. O.
F. band party at the Odd Fellows
temple, .and danced away the hours
until tJie arrival of tbe New Year. A
large gathering of Knights of Pythias
attended the watch party at the new
temple at Kleventh avenue nnd Olive
street, Members of the Assembly elu'i
singed a formal New Year's ball in
the Laraway building.
The radio was the .chief soun e of
entertainment in private parties, and
nearly every large broadcasting feta
tion in the country was on the nir''
with a program and dmce music until
1 o'clock a. m., when most of the
parties broke up.

Body Is Located 200 Yards
Downstream This Morn

In the watera of tie draw about
200 yards below the Perry street
bridge the body of Charles Adler, 42,
salesman for the Stewart and Holmes
Drug company of Seattle, waa found
about 8 o'clock thia morning. Search
had been under way for Mr. Adler
since late yesterday afternoon when
It was reported to Sheriff Taylor that
a sedan hod been standing be
side the eraw on the Cobnrg road
since Tuesdoy night about a quarter
of a mile north of the bridge.
It ia believed that Mr. Adler, who .
Tuesday had been at Coburg obtain
ing orders, was. stopped by the high
watera on his return and atepped out
tf tho car over the bank into deep
water not knowing that there was a
drop there. .
Tho right door of tho car waa open
DROWNED HERE
and it is presumed that Mr. Adler
stepped out of the machine when Ins
engine atalled. A search of tho car
by tho aheriff loto yesterday showed
by order booki that Mr. Adler had
been at Coburg Tuesday and tbia was
vorified by merchants of that city.
There will probably be no Inquest,
according to Coroner W. W. Brau
atclter as it ia plain that tho drown
ing was an accident. Relatives of Mr.
Adler were notified last night of the
possibility that be sad been.drownel.
Tho draw where Mr. Adler waa
drowned ia considered dangerous in
times of high water and resident of
that district reported to the county
officials today that two other men had '
stepped into the deep water during
the psst two daya but they managed
to get out aafely. Several yeara ago it
ia said that a team of horses was
drowned in tho waters of the draw "
which have a awlft current whenever
