It was learned that the evangelist

through the hub-deep mire. A lino
of wagons with empty shafts waited
in front of '1 itus livery stable. Di
agonally aeross the street stood Ilen-drii-k's
dry goods store, a two-story
frame building, on one side of which,
a naked gray outside staircase led
upstairs to the Odd Fellows hall. A
scattering of loafers smoked on the
porch of the old Hoffman House fac
ing the dry goods store from the op
posite corner. Charley linker, pro
prietor of the b,est and only hostelry
in the little town, arose from his
place among the corn-cob pipes and
followed by a voluntary escort of as
sorted dogs, mnde his way down the
street to the butcher shop. From the

. No Banks Yet '
Three grocery stores and another
butcher shop, Luckey's jewelry store
and two ice cream "parlors" contri
buted to the size of the business cen
ter. The town bakery led an anaemic
existence in a little wooden building
on a side street beyond the Hoffman
House. Hanks were not yet in 'Style.
A one-room shack bearing the legend
"Wells Fargo Kxprcss Co." over its
narrow doorway handled all tho fi
nances of tho town. Frogs chirrup
ed complacently from the depths of
luxurious niiidpudilles. This was Eii

"The first street lights we ever
had were big lanterns set on posts,"
said -Miss Carre Hankin who, fifty
years ago kept Eugene's most ex
clusive hat shop. Kach merchant
owned his own street lamp. Lamp
lighting was a nightly ceremony. At
intervals he trimmed the wick, re
plenished the Supply of kerosene.
washed the tine and glass exterior
and set the Inntern back on its post.
Raise Own Vegetables
"f remember when we first came
here and for some years afterward,
none of the grocery stores carried
many vegetables. Most of the time
they had none at all. Farmers raised
just enough for their own use nnd
never thought of selling any. Often
they themselves bought their vege
tables from the grocer in town. There
was one mnn who peddled vegetables
regularly, but he never had anything
but melons nnd green onions in their
sepnrate sensons. Fruit was more
expensive in those dnys than it is
now. We used to pay $3 a bushel
for peaches."
Miss Itankin paused to wait on a
customer and I retired to a lilgh
stool whose padded top was covered
by bright carpet within a neat halo
of brass tacks. Tho tiny Notion shop
on Huvcnlh street wns stacked from
floor to ceiling with a forcBt of oddly
assorted pastebonrd hat boses that
crowded everything else into a tiny
aisle at the front and made the rear
of the shop a region of mystery. A
museum of hots was perched iliform
ully upon various objects a chaotic
miscellany of history iu itself. Upon
a woollen thread cabinet against the
wall, stood a large mirror with an
overhanging brow of carved curly
cues, lleforo it had paraded who can
tell hriw mnny eras in hats. Where
the small hand mirror with the pie
crust edgp and iron frame hail first
met the other members of this iiualnt
company, only the more veteran
among the hats could tell. Ostrich
sjirays, brilliant wings and other
plumage spread themselves in vivid
array behind the glass doors of a
wall cabinet. The "notions" occupy
ing more space than the harassed
little shop could provide had been or
dered with an eye to variety.
Customers Welcomed
In the dun surroundings.' the tall
slender old lady with a crisp while
stock above the dark blue woollen
sweater and black skirt welcomed her
customers with impartial courtesy
the thoughtlessly exacting and the
many who apparently were regular
visitors in the gorged little estab
lishment. The mild old voice was
kindly b'.?t--it wasted few words and
smiles were reserved for infrequent
occasions.
Miss Itankin returned for an inter
val and I surrendered the bright top
ped Btool for its tuller brother. The
shop faded Into a fantastic back
ground as she continued.
"Tho block this side of the post
office was an npple orchard. There
was a residence on the front part and
a board fence all around the place.

count of its shape, was too smail.
"The original court house is now
the Yates hotel on' Seventh street
It was moved there from across the
street where it stood when we first
came here, back in '7.1. The Hoff
