shakes, lemonades, at Strong & Co. g
Mr.. Skinner has the flag at the
depot at half mast in memory of
the late Charles Crocker.
Prof, Ben Childers succeeds o.
A. Condit, county treasurer, as
principal of the Gervais school.
The interior of the Presbyterian
church is being thoroughly reno
waited during the summer vacation.
Yesterday parties were in enquir-
ing for hop pickers. The vines will
be ready to work on in about three
weeks.
Several lower rooms in the state
house are to be fitted for use as
committee rooms before the legis-
lature meets.
The latest campaign canes. You
open the end and pull out a BAN
danna or flag, which may be secure
ly fastened like a fish rod te the
cane proper.
At Albany the board of trade and
citizens treated the travelling school
teachers handsomely and were
thanked in appropriate resolutions.
Albany people are wide awake and
up with the times.
In another column mention is
made of Mrs. De Prans, Il teacher
of Christian science, who will visit
Salem tomorrow, and hold a class
here one week. The lady has met
with gratifying success in Portland,
and comes here strongly endorsed.
In laying down some of the new
sidewalks wire spikes instead of cut
nails are being used. This is an inn
provement as it is believed they will
not bob up later in the season for
the stubbing of unwary toes and
the marring of light shoes.
Salem's advantages in the matter
of water power, fuel and wool at
hand, river and railroad transpor-
tation and other special advantages
should be well written up and
mailed to manufacturers, investors
and capitalists in the east, Canada
and England.
The state board of immigration
proposes to send out car full of pro-
duce exhibits and descriptive liter
ature. Besides passing through
different states it will go to Col
umbus, Ohio, and be visited by hun
dreds of thousands at the state fair
and G. A. r. national encampment.
Marion county should contribute
samples and documents.
We are glad to learn that Mr.. G.
r. Wolfe, an architect, of Kansas
City, who arrived here recently will
go into partnership with Mr.. Robert,
so soon as he can dispose of his
property in the East. 1t is the in
tention of the new firm to devote
their time entirely to architecture
and to withdraw from the business
of contracting and building.
Fred Dimeler who makes occas-
ional trips to Bigand Little Nestucca
thinks the advantage is somewhat
in favor of the latter as it saves about
seven miles travelling out ofthe total
seventy-seven, and prices of horse
feed and other necessaries are
cheaper. These things are worth
enquiring about before hand by
campers before deciding where to go.
The senior partner of the firm Of
f. +. Mckinney q Co., of Turner
called in yesterday. As will be seen
by the advertisement they are in
creasing their capacity for storing
the new crops of oats, being pre-
pared to handle 100000 bushels.
Those who have any to sell can
govern themselves accordingly, by
communicating with them at Tur-
ner or Aumsville.
