could bo used each year for the
maintenance 'of the scholarship
Since J923 the scholarship has
not been awarded, as It was de
cided that It was better to wait
until the permanent fund was es
tablished. Already approximately
11200 has been raised, and it is
hoped by members of the associa
tion that enough to secure the
$1500 may be made by Jane. When
$1500 is obtained It will be ap
proximately $j00 average a year
toward the goal of $5000.
The scholarship Is a art ft and
not a loan. Since Its establish
ment 16 years ago three girls have
completed their work at the uni
versity and graduated by virtue of
thfl award.
The scholarship was namnd In
memory ot Mary Splllor, first wo
man professor on the university
campus. Professor Splllr was
with the fnmlty from 1R76 to
1883 as the head of the prepara
tory department, and as professor
of elocution between the years of

KUtiENE, re.( April 11. (To the
Editor) Allow me through the col
umns of The Guard to Inform you. as
well as the public in general, who 1
am and where I may be found most
any day.
My home Is and has been for the
psat two years, an 719 1'earl street
at the Bible Standard home. I am an
ordained minister connected with the
Bible Standard mission cburrh and
have been for the past five years, two
years of which tiui 1 have lives'
quietly at Eugene.
I was pastor of tbe Eugene mission
most of the two years 1 have been a
resident of your beautiful city, and
ss such have been a subscriber to
The liuard, and If my name does not'
appear on its sub. list, it ought to,
for I have personally psid the sub
scription, I am a registered voter of Eugene
and have been ever since I became eli
gible, and although I am not on the
tax roll, the mission work I am
proud of representing ii a large con
tributor to the tax burden of Eugene
and Ijine county.
Again: Nearly every week that I
have been la Kugene 1 have walked
into The Guard office with a notice
of the Bible Standard services and
posted it on The Guard copy hook.
I did not try to do this Incog., but
openly, supposing thst I was recog
nised as one vua authority to post
such notice. ,
I resigned saw ptorata last Sep
tember to takn tie position of dean
of the Bible Staudard training school,
since which time the Iter. Fred Horn
shuh has been pastor, and 1 have had
charge of the school work. With
these explanations I think The Gusrd
and the general public will surely
know me, for I am not trying to pose
as an incog, inflicting my eulogies of
tbe editorial writers of our splendid
daily papers from behind a screen.
I humbly ak The Guard to forgive
me for jny encomium on their flop
ping to the right side of the ssnitatlon
Hiieiton recently. I wdl promise them
1 will do so no more. May God bless
them and make them real guards of
our city's health.

Two California men with tba nt
moit confidence in the preient busi
ness prosperity of Eur; en and Its fu
ture prospects have decided to enter
tbe local field and have completed ne
gotiations for tbe purrhaae of the
Koke-Tiffany book and stationery
store on Willamette street between
Kifhth and Ninth avenues west.
Chester M. Lawrence and Charles
L. Wbytal, recently of Fresno, Cel..
are today completing tbe inventory of
tbe stock of tbe local store and Mon
day will take over tbe management.
"We are newcomers to this city,"
Mr. Lawrence said todsy. "But after
a thorough investigation of tbe field
here we have decided that this is tbe
location for our business venture and
we believe that our choice will prove
correct." Mr. Tawrence declared.
The Koke-Tiffany store, one of ibe
oldest stores of its line in the Wil
lamette vnllev, was established many
years ago as the' Schwarxschild bonk
store and about two years ago the
business waa fold to the Koke-Tiffany
company- Mr. Tiffany recently sold
out hit interests to hit partner Jo
seph Koke, and Mr. Koke is selling
to the new owners.
KL'GKNE, Ore., April 11. (To tbe
Editor). I am exceediugly happy o
day, in that we now have a united
press in 'favor of the "better water
bonds," nothing now remains for' the
success of the bonds, but to advise the
public of their mcssity.
That the necessity exists there is
no doubt in my mind, and I do not
think there is a single citisen in Ku
gene, who has tbe best interests of
Eugene at heart, wilLijucition the
matter if he will take a run over to
Springfield and look at the newer of
that city emptying into the Willamette
river and then come down the river
just a little over two miles and sec
tbe aoarce from wbicb our water
supply comes. To be sure this water
is filter-? and trested sd that it is
chemically pure, but you know. Sir.
editor, I have sever been able to con
vince myself, that the chemically pure
urine and human offal from Spring
field, was just the beat procurable
soorce of water supply for tbe citizens
of Eugene.
The McKcnrie project will eliminate
the Hprmgfield sewer menace, and cut
the chances of contamination 75 per
cent. Why take a chance when you can
cut out three-fourths of your danger?
The "better water bonds" will not
be paid by taxes, the property will
not be assessed to pay tbe bonds, in
terest or sinking fund for their re
demption, but the consumer of water
will pay iu the service he gets when
he uses the water.
Who in Eugene would object In
paying more for McKenxie water than
continue drinking the filtered sewer
age of Springfield and the towns cn
the Willamette river south of Eu
gene? We are told by Mr. McClaln, super
intendent of the water board that tbe
average cost will not exceed 25c per
monra. Who la there In Kugene tnat
prefers drinking Springfield to paying
25c additional, to what be now pays,
and drink McKensie water?
j Who-is there la Eugene who wants
n wake up seme fine morning and
find that we have an epidemic of
typhoid fever in our city? Sir. Editor,
that la just what happened to us
about '20 years ago, we slept at the
switch, and at one time It was esti
mated that we had loOO rases of
typhoid in town. We blamed every
body for that, when as a matter of
fact we, the public, were to blame.
We simply let George do it, and
George as he always does, failed us.
We alept and did not wake up until
it was too late, and as a result, there
was pain, sorrow and death. Are we
going to sleep again? God forbid, that
we ever let such a thing happen again,
if we do shame on ua. .Why not cut
our' chances down to a minimum snd
eliminate every possible contaranation
possible.
The water board consists of the
very best citizens and business men
of our city. They hare sn intelligent.

Tbe proposed source on the Me

we are failing in our plain duty.
It make me sick to bear a man say
he is for better water and then pro

cause it costs something, sad who ix

In snswer to Mr. Campbell was J

willing to take tbe t consequences of
any critichm.

Everv bond proposal to be on the ballot in the special city election to
be held next Wednesday represents a project of merit and necessity.
Some of them represent projects of pressing necessity and immediate
action. v' .
Chief of these is the lower McKenzie water project. Eugene's present
water supply is kept fit only through artificial means and constant
vigilance. The wells which were its original source have failed. AVe
now use Willamette river water. It is not the part of good business
or prudence to continue to do so. By voting the McKenzie project
bonds we shall insure our city an ample supply of. good water for
years to come. The very name McKenzie river water for domestio use
will prove a tremendous asset to Eugene and insure its health.
Tho proposal for $135,000 bonds for construction of reservoirs, feeder
mains and pumps is of vital necessity. Large districts of our city
are now without sufficient water pressure for service in homes. In
some the supply fails completely at times. . The rapid growth of our
city is aggravating this condition. "We must provide water service
if we are to grow and expand, as well as for residents now inadequate
ly served and who are entitled to full service.
"
We-mnst have adequate sewer drainage. The proposal fox $50,000
bonds for sewer reconstruction will provido it. Last winter families
were forced from their homes because water had backed into their
basements through sewers inadequate to -carry their load. Sewers
are draining into the open' Amazon. The public health demands this
improvement.
, Paving petitions of taxpayers and citizens cannot bo grantod unless
thero bo provision for paving street intersections between blocks
assessed. Shall our improvement programme stop!
