Holding Company Will Back Eugene &
Western in New Road.
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.

TWO-CENT FARE COSTLY.
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

water, Maude, with rather pale cheeks,
began to wonder bow she could have been
so foolish.
“ I got so excited about it G ren ; I
couldn't help It. 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

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

old or so. who, having been once taken by
his mother into Court, haa determined on
