Friday Evening, FeW Page Two THE EUGENE GUARD is TELLS OF HISTOaY Exciting and amusing Inridenls of Uli'soll journalism whi'u editors u ml reader! alike dvsirt-d ijleul' lit lior iuuhI opiniou niiiod into ilieir daily (juuta of uewB ure readied by Wil liam 0. .Steol il tins rity, luuuder ot the Albauy Herald tliat was taken over lj tlio Albany democrat tills week. "1 darted the Herald October d, 187LI, and will have to admit that it was for political purposes only at the start," lir. Steel said today. "LiU'j county regarded n tlie banner demo cratic community ot the mule wai liie object ot ailaca by the republi can and the ileraid win one mean! oi awiugiug tlie vote in lfbO from the Dourouu to J lie U. O. 1'. rauka. "The republicans won all the major offices at lie election which was held in June that year but the period prior to the day of election wus one of trial and tribulation for editor who took an active part In the cam paign especially the editor and pub lislirr of Uie -Herald, ' .Mr. bteel laughed. Threats ire Made Mr. Steel tells interestingly of the threuts made agn.nxt his lile and the many hitter controversies that result ed lrom the drive to control Linn county. Although at times the situa tion was critical the little weekly Her ald weathered the giile and when the campaign s over Mr. riterl turned the paper over to others and for over 43 years it hal appeared regularly. "Although tun Herald had plenty of editorial pep when necessary to drive aunfts at the opposition it was a very sickly journalistic infant in the way of finances," the founder smilingly admitted. The total cost was and thas was for the eipiipmeut and I n.A.llt f. tlmr 1 hnrriiu-eil 2?! to pay the freight on the little hand press and type sent from l'ortland. 1 bought a sway backed mule on credit, a saddle, also on credit. I stood off the lsndlonl for rent and then went to press without any such lliiur iea as paid advertisers or subscribers" is the way Mr. Steel describes ni launching of the new Albany sheet. County l Covered. The editor and publisher slntea that he covered the entiro county on his old sway-backed inulo in the interests if the CI. U. 1. and that many of his editorials were written while the pa tient critter" ambled along the road and his rider tliough out bitter sar casm to hurl at the democratic oppo sition. "Martin Brown was the editor or the Democrat at that time and al though political enemies w got along fine," Mr. Sleel aid. "My Urowu had strong confidence In a democratic victory and sent east for a number of big wood cuts of crowing roosters that he intended to decorate his pages with the day following tho election. The result of course precluded the use of roostors In the Democrat and -1, displaying a. full measure ot nerve, asked Mr. itrnwn to loan mo cm use In the Herald that day. I didu t get them," Mr. Steel admitted. That those taking an active part ill the campaign on behalf of their fa vorite were lso willing at all times to back their opinion and judgment with ronr money is the statement ot Mr. Steel. Two men went into bank ruptcy following the campaign as a direct result of too much confidence along this line, the former editor said. sold in Laue county as this is an egg producing center where there are plenty of the fresh product.

E Trices of eggs In Eugene ro slight ly higher now than ul this time last year and indications aro that there will be higher prices In the fall, ac cording to local dealers. Many eggs are being purchased now at about 25 cents a dosen for storage and this higher price will appear in the nun talions when these eggs are sold In the fall. The commission department of the Grays Cash and Carry store hns iu . stalled a new machine for dipping eggs in oil before storage. This pro cess called "guaranixing' puts a thin coating of parrafine on the eggs and this closes the pores keeping the eggs fresh for an indefinite period while in storage.
