The River Boats.

AS predicted sometime ago, there
is considerable strife between the o.
r. & N. and the o. P. river boats
for business. The river is now at a
good boating stage, and steamers can
go as far up as Harrisburg withort t
difficulty. The o. r. & N. Com
pany's steamboat Champion has
been placed on the upper Willamette
trade hut has no regular schedule
time, and will ply on the upper
river, picking up business wherever
it can be found. The o. P. boats
are handicapped, owing to the fact
that the rail division is almost block
ed with freight awaiting shipment
Ivy the o. d. steamers, and in conse-
quence thousands of bushels of
wheat that would be shipped by the
o. P. route must find an outlet via
Portland and the o. r. & N. boats.

THE MOODY MEETINGS.
The Great Evangelist Coming on the
First Of January.

Last night at the NJ. f. church
the initial Moody revival meeting
was conducted by l. H. Burke and
G.. b. Studd. These gentlemen
usually are in advance of Mr..
Moody and are successful in elevat-
ing the interest TO the highest by
the time the great evangelist gives
the meetings his personal attention.
Mr.. Burke conducts the singing
and tonight he asks the singers to
be at the church by seven o'clock,
as it is his wish to instruct them be-
fore the evening service. Mr.. Studd
addresses the people and last night
took for his theme, "Good Tidings,"
dwelling at considerable length and
in an impressive manner upon the
great good tidings that are in
store for those who accept His word.
"Jesus died for you,n he said, "and
there are good tidings for you who
worship his name.n
This afternoon at three o'clock
meetings will be held at the Congre-
gational church and this evening at
7I5 ut the NJ. Il. church.
Mr., Moody will arrive in Salem
on the evening OF January LIST, and
remain during Wednesday and
Thursday, preaching three times
per day, His first sermon will be |
given on New Years evening. He |
will be in the city long enough TO |
give all chance TO hear him, and |
i is expected people for miles around !

OVER THE CAPITAL CITY.
Complete Recital Of the Daily DOings Com
piled From Various Sources.
Happenings Over the City and News
From the Country Roundabout.


Experience has proved that great
and lasting benefits are the results
of community of intelligent per
sons being massed together in a
limited area, for horticultural pur-
suits on land in the best locations,
with soil and all surroundings best
adapted for that special purpose.
The fruit lands Of Oregon are
located on the choicest hin land
with basaltic soil, being far superior
to, and much more lasting than
California's best fruit lands, located
as they are on a granite foundation.
The building Of cold storage in
the cities where the fruit will be
sold and the storing Of fruit in them
each fall, to be sold in the winter
and spring months, can be accom-
plished by the cooperation of many,
while it would be impracticable for
an isolated fruit grower.
Contracting to supply large
amounts of fruit to canneries can
be accomplished to much advantage.
Drying fruits, if deemed necessary,
can be accomplished in an extensive
way with much less labor, aud con
sequently more profit, than by indi-
vidual effort, and large lot can be
placed on the market at a price in
advance of that of a small lot.
The buying of choice land in small
tracts, AT. a reasonable price is diff
cult, especially to the stranger, who
not unfrequently buys land alto
gether unfit for the purpose of grow
ing fruits. But now that one vast
field are being sub-divlded, choice
rural fruit farms are to be had by
those who wish 20 engage in the
Truit culture. "

Salem's Astoria and TIllamOOk R. R

Because no noise is being made
over the proposition to have rail-
way connection with Tillamook and
Astoria, it need not be thought
Salem is sleeping over the matter.
Yesterday there was a conference
between a number of Salem's bust
ness men and capitalists and it was
thought best to delay action a few
days longer-at least until the holi-
days were over. In few weeks, if
not sooner, n committee appointed
by the board of trade will visit AS
toria by the sea for the purpose of
comforting with the officials of the
Astoria and South Coast II. r.. In
the mean time, all goes swimmingly
and the prospects for the early
construction of this line grow
brighter every day.

That wOOlsu Mill.

Last night there was conference
of the wooden mill committee and
to-day they are arranging scheme
for purchase and payment for the
water power and site that may be
determined upon. A meeting will
be held with Mr.. Kay in a few days
after which a general mass conven-
ton of all interested will be held.
All minor details will be arranged
before this meeting is called, so that
definite conclusions can be deter
mined upon.
1t begins now to look as though
we were really to have a wooden
mill. $4,000 is no great sum for a
city of our wealth and size to raise,
What we need is a trifle more enter
prise. If we do not succeed in Sc
securing the establishment of this
enterprise here there are many
towns waiting, and only too
anxlously, to negotiate with Mr.,
Kay. Albany, for instance, is not
neither isIPendleton. They
are ready to act. Spokane Falls
would raise the required sum in one
hour if such proposition were made
them. Let us have the woolen
mill! i

Two More lnsanes.

Sheriff Birdsey came up from
Jacksonville this morning, bringing
with him VIM. Forester, who was
committed to the asylum for insane.
Forester is forty-nine years of age
and his insanity is the result of reli-
gious excitement. He is suicidal in
his actions, having taken three
ounces of laudanum a few days
ago. Ashland was his home.
Virgil U. Newsome is being ex-
amined this afternoon before Judge
Shaw for insanity. He has been
several times in the asylum before.

THE FARMERS CONGRESS-.
Eloquent Facts for Farmers to Read
and Consider.

The address to the people of Ore
gon by the executive committee OF
the Farmers, Congress is strong
straightforward and manly, and
shows from figures obtained from
the commissioner of agriculture,
that while the increase of farm
values from 1860 to 1880 was D per
cent, that of other values was 203
per cent. And while the agricultur-
al industry represents A per cent,
of those engaged in "gainful occu-
pations," the agricultural class holds
only 224 per cent. of the wealth of
the nation. And although the
amount of wealth produced by the
agriculturists has quadrupled dur
ing the last two decades, their pro-
por don of the results of our general
industry has shrunk from So per
cent to 273 per cent, while that of
those engaged largely id modifying
and transporting what has been pro-
duced by the farmer has increased
during the time from about 30 per
cent. to nearly IS per cent. The
causes OF this alarming transfer of
wealth from the pockets of those
who actually produce the commodi-
ties representing wealth to the
pockets Of those who for the most
part only modify them, and this
without any corresponding change
of numbers engaged in each depart
ment, are put in nutshell by the
following resolutions:
First-The national banking sys-
tenn, by which the issue and control
of the volume of money is largely
confined to corporations. Whoever |
controls the volume of money con-
trolls the price of farm products.
SecOndly-High and unequal tax
alton, state and national.
Thirdly-CreatiOn by law of vast
transportation corporations, with
almost regal powers, and endowed
" AtA Cs''ChbANA AhOlAOpAJ anu ulCOll-
trolled by necessary laws to prevent
eXtortion.
Fourthly-Failure of congress and
the Legislature to pass laws abolish
ing and furnishing vast cOmbina-
ions of chartered capital called
trusts" by which products are put
lown to the producer and up to the
consumer.
Fifthly - The legalized liquor
ratiic, which takes from the chan
lels of trade and productive indus
ry, once each year, every dollar in
.ctual circulation.
These resolutions speak for them
elves, and if the Farmers Congress
las the stamina to move there is
ome hope for working u change in
he Infamous class legislation which
as cursed our nation for the last
wo decades. AS the Farmers Con-
ress is national organization, and {
hOws the same independence and |

ense as that shown by the Oregon
