The First National Bank , OP EUGENE Resourcts of over Three Million Ing position In the state, untm paired, she must retain the af fections of the people of the state by recognising the com munity of Interests of the peo ple of the state as a whole. 'The undeveloped portions of the Btate may have a feeble voice now, but they will make their voice heard by and by. p AGAINST A SEPARATION resident fishing and hunting li cense of tourists is to take away one of the charms that induced them to travel through the country. He says the small a mount of fish or game such per sons take, does not justify then in paying this license. He re commends a small license fee, covering a period of 30 to 60 days, for this class of persons. A tourist on our auto camp last week was inquiring about fish ing license; and expressed the thought that he and perhaps other tourists would be glad to catch a fish or two for a meal, and enjoying for an ' hour, a sport which they had been led i to believe was a characteristic feature of the country; but i they could not afford to buy a I license for a year, at the high Irate charged residents, for what they would get-out of It. o WHAT WILL PORTLAND DO? In the contest which is now i being wged over the threat ened separation of the South ern and Central Pacific, the at- titude of Portland is a mattei j jof some uncertainty and some iconcern. Several other power-! jful railroads have, possibly. ; larger Interests in Portland than the Southern Pacific. At ;any rate, the Influence of the ; other railroads with which Port-! iland is connected might be ex-j 'vected to bring about some con flict of interests and some dl-; j vision of sentiment. I But there are other kinds of1 interests to be considered. Port-i land is the chief city of Oregon, .res preponderance is greater .than that of the metropolis of .almost any other state In the .union. It is manifest that the interests of the greater part of the state, geographically, and the interests of the state as a whole, considered economically, are decidedly opposed to the separation aA this time. Will she raise her voice and throw iher strength. In this critical itime. In union with the voice land in harmony with the Inter ests of the rest of the state? To retain her present commend- While there may have been a good economic principle In volved in It It certainly was In line with the popular sentiment of the country at large at the time the breaking up of the old Harriman merger was one of the hardest blows that have ever been struck at the devel opment of Oregon. It separat ed two Interests that should have cooperated to put through the railroad line thnt had boon projected to run through' the center of Oregon from east to west. That line was a vital part of the combination of lines and other facilities In which Springfield was peculiarly in terested. When we consider the other hindering causes that have intervened since that time, we may question .whether that line would have been built through by this time In any case; but the building of that l!ne. or such a line, was greatly hindered and the development of Oregon, especially eastern Oregon, greatly checked by the unmerging of the two parts ot the great system on which the welfare of this state so largely depended. If, the recent supreme court decision separating the Central PaclMc from the Southern Pac ific should be carried Into ef fect, as we still hope It will not be, It would be another hard blow struck tit the development of Oregon as a state, and espec ially of western Oregon and that portion of southern Oregon ly-i ing Immediately east of the cas cades, and a blow coming with special force upon the most promising Interests of Spring field and the region round about. As things now stand, the In terests of Springfield snd the repiua iu wunu u uc uic u-i t , t.L AW I ' BcparaDiy oounu up who m in terests of the Southern Pacific In the contest that Is now being waged to settle the disposition of the Central Pacific proper ties. The greatest hope that Springfield has for its own fu ture prosperity is based on the Southern Pacific's property In terests here and the plans for the future which these Interests were intended to serve. With us. it Is not a question of antag onizing somebody else, but of Sin Reallv Folks Just between you and yourself do you always ask for home manufactured products of your dealer? When buying poultry or dairy feeds, do you Insist on the NOXAI.L brand? Do you buy flour from the grocer thnt recom mends NORTHWEST FLOUR? Let's be fair with ourselves and our community. It always pays to use home products. MANUFACTURED BY SPRINGFIELD MILL AND GRAIN COMPANY fostering the Interests which Springfield has In common with the Southern Pacific. If the Central Pacific falls un der th control of some other company, say the Union Pacific, It might in time complete tne Natron cut-off, snd it might even build their shops at Spring field. But it might do neltbe. But both of these enterprises are known to be parts of the plsn of the Southern Pacific; snd we have good reason to be lieve that the time Is at hand uhn If It In not Interfered with. It will speedily carry them both through. Springfield has every reason to dread the. effect of the un merging, and every reason to oppose It by every means In her power. o NOTICE TO CREDITORS In the County Court ot the Stat ot Oregon tor Lane County.
