Letter From the Capital.
SALEM, Dec. 29th, 1869.

SALEM, Dec 10Th, 1869
Considering that we are in the midst |
of the Holidays, we are having very
quiet times, excepting what amusements
we have in the evening, the doings at the
capital are not any more string than
usual.
OUR MERCHANTS
Are busy with balancing up old ac-
counts, taking account of stock and
making preparations for the business OF
1870. The Peoples Transportation Co.
have moved their office from the Hol-
man brick to the McCully brick, two
blocks down Commercial street. The
Pioneer Oil Company have moved their
Office and wareroom to the place form
erly occupied by John Hughes, directly
under the Secretary of States office
No other changes of base have been
made among our business men.
THE RAILROAD
Is attracting much attention just now.
Quite number of our citizens have gone
down to Oregon City to-day to ride on
the cars as invited guests. The track Is
said to be in good condition for new
road. The prophecy is now made that
the track will be laid to this city by July
4th next, and to Linn county by the
time harvest is over. | understood to-
day that Mr.. McClain, proprietor of
North Salem, had offered the Company
thirty acres of land if they would
establish the depot in North Salem. It
is rumored here that Uncle Jesse Apple
gate and Chief Engineer Brooks, of the
Oregon Central Railroad, had quite a
quarrel in Portland recently. Their
opinions of the feasibility of the Rock
Greek pass over the Calapooia mountains
differs materially, and Mr.. Applegate has
gone home to make the survey of the
route himself at his own expense.
OTHER LOCALS.
Beriah Brown announced last week
that he was going to start daily paper
here; but l learn that the project will
fail. The Democracy have no faith in
him, and don't feel like responding lib
orally.
An alarm Of fire brought out the de-
partment promptly at two o'clock on
Sunday last. The fire was caused by a
package of PHOSPHORUS ignlting in a
warehouse back of the drug store. The
fire was put out before the engines threw
water. Too much praise cannot be be-
slowed upon our fremen for the prompt
manner they turn out to save property.
REVIvALs.
There is a series of very interesting
meetings being held in the Baptist
church in this city. Two services per
day are being held, and many are uniting
with that church. Another revival has
been in progress at the South Salem NJ.
E. Church but understand that daily
services have been discontinued.

BOARD OF TRADEl

This organization will meet at the Coun.
Gil Room, on Tuesday evening, for the pur.
pose of hearing the report of the committee
appointed to canvass for subscriptions to the
Cotton Factory. The Board of Trade Is

under constitution and by laws, and meets
at the call of the President Mr.. Henry Dart.

men and citizens We recognize in this
organization an instrument for doing
much good in promoting the commercial
and manufacturing interests of the city, and
so long IS i. holds steadily to these objects
it will receive the supper, and cooperation
of the ARGUS. When it steps outside of it's
avowed purposes it becomes proper sub
jeot of criticism and will deserve the same
treatment that has received in the past
Such an organization. properly conducted,
can do much toward building up our manu-,
featuring interests, and developing the
wealth of the place; and, ss long as it so
works, it should receive the hearty support
of all citizens who are interested in making
Rock Island city of importance and
influence, and there are none who are willing
to do more in this direction than the ARGUS.
Our facilities are unsurpassed BY any city
n the west, our natural sdvsnta ges for trade,
river commerce and manufacturing, are not
excelled by any poin. in the Mississippi val
ley and to bring about tho best results it il
only necessary for US to work together
During the past year this has heen done with
the most satisfactory results as is shown by
the establishment and successful operation
of several valuable manufactures, while
others are established and will be in opera
ton, with like results within the next twelve
months. Now if these same efforts be con
tinued through some working organization
such as Board of Trade, the work will be
done more efectuRlly and easily, and We
none will regret more than We any necessity
for criticism or opposition by its becoming

US to the room occupied by the Board Of

tina. it was an insult to be expected to sit in
such dilapidsted apology for a decent
room, the Board had authorized the County
Clerk, to renovase and repair said room. As
We stepped in, they were engaged in putting
down neat carpet, and Major Jim did
the honors. The walls have been calcined
and papered with neat imitation of marble,
the desks have been labeled with the name

alike OF the increased facilities for business,
