Mayor Matlock on Local Option
If any who attended the metings at
whloh Matlock of Eogeae spoke, had .
any doubts about the results of local
option In that oity, ha surely musk
have beeu oonvinoed of his mistake.
Both in the opera hoose on Friday
evening and In the Christian uhurobv
on Sunday afternoon, ha made it very
, plain that in every aspect or ttie case
Eugene has been the gainer. Tho'oity
0 ' is a hive of indoatry aud the financial
returns are just as great as the
moral. Not only is the city pros
perous from tbe standpoint of her
citizens, but every traveling man who
baa Eugene in his territory will tell
yon of the "good town" which Eugene--has
become, and how much business
has increased in the last two years.
Eugene has about doobled in popula
tion and aa Mayor Matlock salt, there
is no reason why Grants Pass with her
advantages and resources, should not
show the same increase after two years
of loot I option.
