Eugene—The Eugene-Siuslaw rail road, which has long been talked of, appears now to soon be a reality. The proposit on to build the road has reached a point where the promoters of the enterprise feel that the building of the line is a certainty. The Lane County Asset company, which was or ganized in Eugene last winter for the purpose of promoting the line, will be the holding company for the Eugene & Western Railway company, which was incorporated a few weeks ago to build the road. Offices have been opened here and operations will be directed by the as-et company. It is the intention to offer for sale to the people of Eugene and vicinity at least $150,000 of the stock of the Lane County Asset company, the funds to be used in building the first section of 20 miles of the road. When this has been accomplished it is proposed to turn all the assets over to the Eugene & West ern Railway company, issuing stock holders the same amount of stuck in the railroad company as they have paid for in the as-set company and to issue and sell the bonds of the railway company for the purpose of completing the road to Florence. BLIGHT IN DOUGLAS. Pear Orchards Are In Danger From a New Pest. Roseburg— A deadly blight on the pear orchards of this county that will rtquire for its eradication more atten tion than one man could possibly give, has caused the county court, at the suggestion of District Horticultural Commissioner A. II. Carson, of Grants Pass, to appoint (wo fruit inspectors for Douglas county. The appointments fall to F. A. McFall, o f this city, and E. F. Whitney, of Oakland, both of whom were recommended by Mr. Car- son, who appeared before the court in person. This blight, a species of fungus that emits a gum like substance, has prac tically destroyed the greater part of the fruitgrowing industry in the Eastern and Middle Western states and has giv en the Pacific coast orchardists a hard battle. California pear growers tri umphed over it after having once given up. Then the blight reached the fam ous Rogue river va'ley in Oregon. The orchardists there promptly secured the services of two government experts, O’Gara and White, and these two men are now in that valley aiding the fruit growers to stamp out the pest. Several months ago the blight began to be noticeable in the Umpqua valley, particularly around Ro eburg and Winston. Then orchards in other lo calities became affected, until the pres ent day sees the pear industry in this county threatened with damage un'ess the growers take action under proper instruction at once. Mr. Carson ex plained to the court that the blight can neither be prevented nor killed by spraying. What causes it is not known, and there is only one way to get rid of it, and that is by burning the affected tree or branch immediately upon discovery of the blight. This has already been done in a number of instances. Depot Service Investigation. Salem—Charges preferred by W il liam S. U’Ren against the service maintained in the baggage department at the union depot in Portland will be made a basis of an investigation of the conditions to be conducted by the rail road commission on its own motion. Mr. U ’Ren was asked to file a formal complaint against the Terminal com pany, but because of the personal feel ing that has been injected into the mat ter it was thought best both by Mr. U’ Ren and the commission that the com mission take it upon its own motion. Trolley Line for Rogue. Jacksonville— The Jackson County Light & Power company has been granted a franchise over the roads of Jackson county by the County court of Jackson county. The company in its petition asks for the right to erect electric light poles along the highways in certain townships for conducting light, heat and motive power. It is the intention of the company to begin at once the construction of an electric railway to traverse the Rogue river valley. V Pekin, July 13.—A remarkable story of the tragic fate of a youthful pre tender to the Dragon thrune and a large number of his followers comes through missionary channels from dis tant Yunnan province.

Roads Lose Heavily Because o f Re- di ction in Charges. Chicago, July 13.—The claim of Illi nois railroads that the 2-cent rate, while stimulating travel to a marked degree, had reduced the revenues of roads from passenger traffic almost to the ruination point, is borne out by a comprehensive investigation by the Santa Fe road. The Illinois railroad commission in sists the law has been beneficial to the roads. The latter say they have been compelled to employ much additional equipment and more help to handle the increased t avel, which did not, by a large turn, compensate them for the extra expense. The Santa Fe worked under the operation of a similar law in Kansas, where a careful record was kept for the first year. The Santa Fe carried 654,000 more passengers than it did the year previously under the 3-cent law. Meanwhile revenues from pas senger traffic for the same period de creased $297,000. Railway men say this does not begin to tell the real loss, which is to be found in the great expense for equip ment and additional employes, the re vision of schedules and wear and tear o f property due to more constant use. recollect, I shan't be a peuny the worse If he loses.” “ Oh, Gren, how can you stand still? I can hardly, as It Is, though It Is you who are to win, and not me.” “ My darling, you are as much interest ed as I am. I never did bet before; I never shall again. Can’ t you guess why I have this time?" “ I think so,1’ she replied, as her face (lushed. “ It’s for me, is It not?’’ “ Yes, Maude; If Coriander wins, I can claim you from your father at on ce; If he don't— a ell, yon will wait while I work, won’t you ?” “ You know I will. I'm yours whenever you come for me,” whispered the g ir l; “ and as long as we may write, I shall never------ ” arid she paused. “ What?” inquired her cousin. “ Don't ask m e!— well, never be as un happy as I have been.” Grenville pressed the little hand that rested in his, but said nothing; In which he showed great discretion. In love-mak ing, silence is often more effective than conversation. Hut the noise of the bursting cork Is hushed In Jarvis’— the ring Is deserted. Flys and horsemen tear across to where the cords, placed in funnel shape, indicate (he finest of the Rowley miles. Every one is anxious to see the result of the first great three-year-old race of the sea son. Carefully have the horses been scru tinized in the Birdcage and elsewhere, and the scattered ring, from the foot of the Jockey Club stand and from amidst the carriages, still shriek forth spasmodic ofTers against outsiders. Grenville has never left his cousin’s side. As he has already said, the turf was a great mys tery to him. All he knows— and this is derived from Dallison— is, that Coriander Is first favorite, and that Fauxpas and The Saint are each backed for a great deal of money, and that the Lightning Colt Is a dangerous outsider. • “ Now, Maude stand up on the seat. Are the glasses right? Try.” “ Q uite; I can see beautifully." “ Very w e ll; now repeat what I have taught you. What are the colors?" “ Coriander, black and white hoops; Fauxpas, green and white braid; The Saint, cherry and black c a p ; and— and. oh, dear, I forget that Lightning thing.” "Mazarine blue; don’ t forget again. Do you see those two bushes? As soon as we hear they are off, bring your glasses to bear on those. Wait till you catch the horses in their field, and then follow them till you don't want glasses.” “ Yes, G ren ; but my hand shakes so. I wish you hadn't told me about all that money if Coriander wins. Oh, dear, why don't they start? What are they wait ing for?" Ah, me! Faces are a study, the five minutes before the (lag falls for a great race. The teeth will go through the lip, or the mouth will twitch, nnd the hand that holds the race glass will shake a little on these occasions when the possessors are Involved in high stakes on the result. Once over, and as a rule It would be diffi cult to tell whether a man had lost much or little. Winners look Jubilant, losers bland at the hoisting numbers.

You shouldn’ t have told me what a lot o f money you might yin. Besides, I never saw a race before.” "Never mind, y o j are all right now. W e’ll go home as soon as we can catch your father; there’s nothing else to see—- not for us, at least, darling. I’ ve won you now, Maude I" “ No," said the girl, with a smile, and a slight pressure o f her little hand; "you did that before. Bui where's your hat?” “ I don't know," said Grenville, looking very confused. “ I threw It up in the air when the horse won and then you fainted, and 1 never thought of it again. Looks awkward, don't it?” “ Oh,” laughed Maude, “ I’ m so glad. Why, you wpre as bad as me. I think we had better go home, Gren ; we are not fit to go racing. We haven't the requi site control of our feelings, and make shows o f ourselves.” But though the hat, a little the worse for its aerial excursion, was speedily re turned by some jackal of the heath, Har old Denison was not so easily come at, and the cousins were perforce doomed to see the day out. Though I doubt whether they ever saw another race, they bore themselves resignedly, and I fancy passed a tolerably pleasant two hours. A gentle man on a neat hack, after a moment’s hesitation, pulled rip at their carriage. Lifting his hat to Maude, he nodded cheer ily to Hose, and leaning over, murmured ; "N o end of congratulation. I ’ m very well satisfied; but, Gren, you have played for high stakes, and I suppose I may say have won them. Adieu !” And with an other glance and raising o f his hat to Maude, he cantered off. “ Who was that?” she inquired. “ Dallison, who did all iny betting for me.” “ And did he know?” “ He knew what that £5,000 meant to me. He's right, Maude. I have been play ing high stakes, and to think that I should win all." Mr. Denison turned up in the most Jubi lant spirits. He had had a delightful day, and won a hundred nnd odd pounda, he told them. “ Don't think I am going on with it, Grenville, but as I had come to see ‘The Guineas' run for once more, I determined to risk my pony on it, and backed the horse that had already been such a good friend to m e; and as that was successful I invested two or three more ten-pound notes on the strength of my first win, so that ray gains mounted up, my selections having proved successful.” Within twenty-four hours Grenville Rose had had a long confabulation with his uncle, and succeeded In convincing him that he was, thanks to the additional £5,000, in a position to marry his cousin at o n ce ; he could make up now £000 a year, and he was sure business w-ould shortly come to him. Denison demurred u little, but he certainly was under some obligation to his nephew about that mort gage. The domestic current, too, ran strong In Grenville’s fav or; so, after a little, he yielded, saying that " if they thought fit to begin the world on that income, he had no more to a&y, further :han that they could expect but little help from him in his lifetime." Maude and Grenville recked little ol that, and in three months' time they were married ; and one of the handsomest wedding presents Maude received was, strange enough to say, from Sam I’ ear- man, with a very correct note, to the ef fect that, “ Forgetting all the past, he trusted Miss Denison would still consider him as a friend and well-wisher.” Moreover, so immensely struck was that gentleman with Grenville's acuteness in the prosecution of the heriot claim, that he threw a considerable amount of his own nnd friends' legal business Into Rose's hands; and three or four years after that memorable Tw o Thousand you seldom saw a horse case In which Gren ville was not employed. Briefs, too, fell thick from other sources; the Coriander stoty was bruited about, nnd the attor neys pronounced it smart, clever— very, and endorsed their opinions practically. The picture of that distinguished race horse may be seen in the dining room at Manneraley, and IVarman often contem plates it, and soliloquizes as he does so, “ Yes ; you cost me £10,000 hard cash, and the prettiest girl in England; but you won the Guineas and the Derby— you did.” Over Rose's study mantelpiece bangs a print of that same celebrity. Deep in his papers In the evening, sometimes, when work is so plentiful that it becomes hard to grapple wTith, Maude will glide softly in, and say “ Come, Gren ; tea is in. Come and drink Coriander's health— the dear old horse that gave ns to each other.” And he yields to the voice o f the charmer, and, to the benefit o f his health, enjoys a sturdy little boy o f some three years old or so. who, having been once taken by his mother into Court, haa determined on being a judge almost Immediately. It 1« a solemn compact between Mauds and Mr. Pearman that when anything happens to Coriander— who. having much distinguished himself, has now retired into domestic life— one of his illustrious feet Is to be placed at her disposal. The squire is still muddling on, but, thanks to an occasional look-up from Grenville, and a change of bailiffs, con tinues to about make both ends meet. At for Mrs. Denison, with her temperament, cannot you fancy the delight she haa in a visit to or from her darling daughter, and with a couple of grandchildren to pet and spoil? (The End.)
