The citizens of Eugene appear to be gerting a bard deal as the result of their loyalty to Pacifle States Tele phone Company as the following would indicate, which is a news dis patch to the Portland Journal from Eogene. "The En gene Merchants' Protective Association has appointed a committee to confer with J. H. Thatcher, superintendent of the north west lines of the Pacific States Tele phone Company and demand better telephone system for this city. Several months ago an improved system was installed, and it was expected that the service would be better, bnt instead it is alleged that it has gradually grown worse" It was only this last December that these same business men signed a re monstrance to the granting of a fran chise to an automatic telephone com pany and on their request the council wonld not allow the new company to pnt in their system of telephones in Eugene. To show their appreciation of having a monopoly of the telephone business of Eugene the Pacific States Company installed their mnch landed central energy system in that town, but it has not proven the saccess that was olaimed for it as the vigorous de mand for a better system wonld indi cate." Should the Antomatio company again a ply for franchise in Eogene the business men of that place will likely not be so shortsighted as before and will allow the company to secure a fraohlse. And all is not serene and contentment in Ashland and Mudford with the doings of the Pacific States Telephone Company in those towns as the following from the Medford Tri bune would indicate : ' "The-Aslilaiul Tidings thinks the Pacific States Telephone Co. lias considerable nerve in aHking a franchise in that city drawnwliolly "in "favor" of the com pany, while said company is discrimi nating against Ashland in rates for house telephones. If the Tidings ex pects the Pacific States Telephone Co. to be anything bat hoggibh, they don't know the policy of that corpora tion." And again: "The Paoifin States Telepone Company has a kind of a plaut in this city and the subscribers gc a kind of a service, but it Is of a very poor kind. It's all the fault of the oompany, not of the operators." The automatic systain is making a tremendous growth in the United States in the last two years. Indian apolis, a city largir than Portland, is entirely supplied by antomatio tele phones aud there is not a Bell tele phone in the city. Over 23,000 auto matic telephones have been installed in Los Augls during the past year and soon the Bells will be out of that progressive city. A oompany has se cured the franchises and has oom menred the installation of an anto matio system that is to embrace San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley and all the other places about San Franoisoo bay. The company announce that they will spend $4,000,000 on the work and will pnt all their wires in the business districts nnder ground. A complete automatic telephone sys tem is being installed in Portland and its suburbs and franchises have been secured in Salem and Albany for this I system. In Seattle over 8000 auto- matio telephones have been installed ; in the last three months and this : system is soon to be Introduced in all the other Sound cities. Work is to be begun this Summer to put in a long distance system to extend from Seat tle to Los Augles and take in the en tire Paoiflo Coast.

The Ashland forest reserve in Ore goo has just been enlarged and the Vernon forest reserve in Utah created by proclamation of the president. The expansion of the boundary of the Ashland reserve was made for the purpose of including more fully the watersheds of Ashland creek, which is the boh roe of water supply for the city of Ashland and for a large terri tory of agricultural land in that vicinity. The reserve, which was originally established upon request of the common council and board of trade of the city of Ashland, present ed in a memorial and petition to the president, includes a rough, mount ainous tract, covered largely with timber of an inferior quality and a I dense growth of underbrush needed as a protection cover to Ashland creek. The narrow strip of country which has been added to it is of a similar oharacter, consisting of a tract lying along the summit of a spur from the Siskiyou mountains, which has an average elevation of about 7200 feet) and culminates in one of the most prominent landmarks in Southern Oregou, known as Siskiyou peak, or Ashland Butte, which rises to height of 8035 feet. The tract is unfit for cultivation and has no settlements on it. As, how ever, it forms the watershed of var ious tributaries to Ashland creek, it is important to Insure proper protection to its forest cover and to prevent the streams from being contaminated in any way. This will now be carefully attended to by the forest offioer in charge of the reserve. METER FOR MEASURING THE ATMOSPHERE The Next on the Program Will Be thj Manufacturing of Wooden Suite. It was scornfully said when the anti-monopoly agitation was started that the next thing monopoly would i seek would be to make a commercial commodity of the air we breathe and that Is being done. Compressed air ha within the last few months been made into a commercial commodity. It la now being sold to consumer for an mnrli a nnhia foot, the same wav as The capacity of a meter I 60,000 cubio feet an hour. It I expetsd that compressed air factories will shortly be established in large cities for the sale of air. It will probably not be very long before we can bo into oue of the dry ood stores and say to the clerk, "Let me see what you have in the liue of wooden suits," says the Technical World Maganne. He may reply, 'Hard or Soft', whereupon it will be our part to specify that we want suit of 'good' pine, 7 without any chean eanwood. ' ..Vest of this kind I are already worn by the cardingroom I foremen in some of the woolen mill. The material resemble (tiff, thick cloth and is apparently as durable as leather. It is not Improbable that in the future cheap suit, costing about SO oents anduiranteedto .last for year, will be made of eprucOr pine.' - - . , . Koiak0mrler.BulldlBg. DEVELOP CEMENT INDUS TRY ON PACIFIC COAST Eaatern Capitalist Looking Over the Field Will Inveet Million of Dollar in Enterprise. Henry Soackman, of Philadelphia, was in Portland Saturday with Frank L. Brown, of San Franoisoo, in the interest of a syndicate that plans to invest millions in the development of the cement industry on the Paciflo Coast. - Deposits of cement in Oregon, Washington and California are being secured by the syndicate, which is composed of leading capitalists of the East, who expect to invest nearly $5,000,000 in the properties. Engineers will arrive on the Coast this Summer from the East to look over the deposits and verify the flattering reports that have been sent to the men interested. Options have been taken in many localities and as soou as plans are approved by those interested, plants will be erected for the manufacture of cement. Location of the properties for the works cannot be announced until ar rangements for taking over the hold ings by the Eastern syndicate are fully perfected. Experts who were seut here some time ago located prom ising oement properties and it is be lieved that the ultimate Investment by Eastern capitalists will be limited only by the possilbities of the in dustry. Oregoniao. It is more than likely that some of the plants will be located in Josephine county as there is plenty of materia! here with which to make cement.
