Easter E0gs Displayed
A hufte wax Easier fcgg, -mn
elde cracKcu um,
Ulnlns a Jowelry dlsplar, forms
one of the many Easier windows
prepared by Eugene merchants
for the display of their spring
merchandise. Local druggists and
others report a record sale today
o( dyes end transfer papers for
coloring eggs. "This egg custom,"
explained one merchant," came to
u from Germany. There the
children are taught to believe if
tley are good and kind to their
pirenU and each otfier, an enor
mous white rabbit will steal into
toa house on Easter eve when
ereryone is asleep and secrete
tny number of beautiful eggs in
hidden corners for good children.
The housewives boll the eggs in
many gay patterns of -cheep print
doth, leaving them decked In
rainbow hues. The parents then
hide them during the night. Next
morning the children awake early,
ind search every corner of the
house and yard, and they get as
big a kick out of finding a color
ed egg as picking two toys out
of their stockings on Christmas
morning."

City Work and Private
Building Activities Com
bine For Huge Total -
More Than Six Miles of
Paving Planned; Water
Improvements Asked
Municipal Improvements in Eugene
this year alone will total more than
a million and a half dollars, it is
shown by a survey compiled this week
by Frank L Armitage, Kiperintend
ent of the United States employment
office, for the department of labor.
Combined with the year's building
permits, entimnted at more than $2,
000.000 by V. H. Alexander, city
building ipspector, new construction
operations' this year nre expected to
exceed three and n hnlf million dol
lars. 1
Paving Runs High
More than a half million dollars
will be spent on street and sewer im
provements alone.
Seventy-five blocks of new paving
or more than 6 miles, Is estimated by
tho city engineer for the year. ; Thin
will cost approximately $323130
Curbing will total B7.3C0 feet and will
cost ?20,812. With three miles of
sewer costing $31,480, six blocks of
alley improvement at $3000, and grad
ing 35,030 feet of both streets and
alleys the total of all street opera
tions Is estimated at $510,188.
Includes Election
Mr. Arinitagc's survey assumes
that all measures on the bond election
ballot, April 15,'will be passed.' The
survey to bo used jointly by the
United States departments of labor
aud employment, to gain iih idea of
employment in Engciie for the en
suing year, can be corrected as to the
messages which fail to pass, he says.
Municipal building improvements
will include the new comfort station
in the city park, for which bonds
were approved at the lost election.
Erection of the building awaits action
by the county appropriating their half
of the expense. Should the municipal
garbage incinerator be approved, it
would add $25,000, and tho fire hall
Improvements, $10,000 to the total
figure.
Water Work Planned
Water improvements, too, will run
over the half million dollar mark if
the proposed pipe line to Hayden
bridge and the new reservoir
Skinner's butte are approved by the
voters. The McKcnsie line Involves
$375,000, and the new city reservoir,

of the bill, the county courts of Mar

appeal to that court from the attorney

legation in the appeal is that tbe bil

act makes no mention of taxes.
Further, it is alleged that Van

The Eugene Oratorio society, which
is composed of mors than 170 town
and University of Oregon people will
present "The Creation," an oratorio
by Joseph Haydn, May 15 and 16 in
the auditorium of the Methodist Epis
copal church, under the direction of
John Stark Evans, assistant dean of
the school of music.
"The Creation" depicts in beautiful
text as well as music the various
stages of the creation of the world.
It is exceptionally mighty and dra
matic and demands a great deal of the
lingers. Probably in this country the
"Messiah1 is heard more off ten than
"The Creation," due to the fact that
it is more singable, but "The Crea
tion" is much more difficult and de
mands more effort in every wayt of
the singers. It is something that not
every chorus cun manage.' ,. -.
Popular fn Europe , ' '
. "Tho CrcaLion" la sung in Euro'
pean countries cspcially in Germany
aud England to a much greater ex
tent than in America. However, when
sung in this .country it is always by
the most fa mo da oratorio societies.
Tho oratorio consists of three prin
ciple parts. The firirt tells the story
of the creation of the earth. Run
ning. through this are many passages
from the Bible which are sung by the
chorus and soloists. The most fa
mous arin heard is "The Heavens Arl
Telling," tung by tho chorus and trio.
Among other noted artists in this
part are "Itolling in Foaming Bil
lows" by a bass soloist and "With
Verdure Clad" sung by a soprano.
The creation of Adam and Eve and
all moving life upon the earth is the
theme of the'second part. "On Mighty
Pens" and the "Most Beautiful Ap
pear" sung by tbe trio and "The Lord
is Great, " sung by the trio and chorus
are aujong the most dramatic selec
tions of the oratorio. "Achieved is the

Within another week Lane county
orchard owners will be able to make a
rather close estimate on what the
probable yield of their fruit acreage,
according to the opinion expressed to

Kpector, 'In my inspection of many or

stated.

Tbe forest service's road at pres

Fork road, and cleared for another
5 miles. Jioad will be built this year
over the o miles cleared last year,
and in addition another 5 miles will

Thompson, former cashier in the
state treaaarer'e office, stotftt before
Judge Percy B, Kelly- today and was
sentenced to serve e, maximum of nine
year in the state penitentiary. It was
said that Thompson would probably
be "dressed in" at the state prison
before noon today.
Without an attorney, Thompson,
escorted by Sheriff Bower, was
brought from the county Jail Into tho
court room at 10 o'clock. His appear
ance was for arraignment, and not
pecessarily for sentence today even
should be plead guilty. But Thompson
pleaded guilty in person, and chose
not to accept the two days allowed by
law before imposition of sentence.
Crowd Is Avoided.
A crowded court room heard the
prisoner's plea and the statement
made by him in almost an undertone.
Thompson avoided the' gane of the
crowd and kept his eyes on the court.
"I will fix next Tuesday," said
Judge Kelly, "as the time to impose
sentence."
v "Your honor," interrupted Thomp
son, "I want to waive time. I have
been sick since Tuesday. If I have to
go 'out there' I want no delay, so I
can have some attention. I had hoprd
