The grocery and dry good b houeei carry large and expensive stocks. There is a mining trndo that requires big stores of supplies. Thoro is a heavy trade in wool, mohair, hops, chittim bark, cattle nnd hogs. There are flouring mills nnd warehouses, woolen mills, tanneries nnd sawmills in nil directions whoso mnungers trnns ict thoir business hero. Great fanning and litmboring valleys like the Mohawk and McKenzio pour in thoir trnde while several mining districts aru entirely tri butary to Eugene.

Thorenro some beautiful lawns but liko Salem there nro too many big trees along tho . atrcota to show off tho residences to advantage, loo many unkept ynrda, too many board and picket fences and unpainted houses. lint houses nro nil occupied nnd in greater demand than even In Salem. Carpenters are much sought after nt Eugene and tho town is on tho e goof n building boom. Tho prottiest building sites nro on tho elevated ground, up tho slopes of tho buttea whoro tho first sun. shlno strikes, w hero tho drat roses bloom nnd tho first fruits ripen.
