SALEM WOOLEN MILLS.
The Proposition About Ready And The
Subsidy to Begin.

Thomas Kay of the Brownsville
wooden mills and the owners of the
Gray water power and mill site are
in conference this afternoon.
Definite terms of sale have been
agreed upon and the contract reduc-
ed to writing. BY its terms the oil
mill site, including water power is
to be conveyed to Mr.. Kay for $4,000.
The Gray brothers retain the strip
of one hundred and fifty feet for
building purposes.
This resolves the question of hav-
ing a wooden mill into simple pro-
position, namely: Salem is to raise
a subsidy of $4,000. If the citizens
can raise this sum Mr.. Kay will es-
tablish fve-set wooden mill here
within a few months. He proposes
building mill which will from the
first be prepared to do fully as much
work and of as good a class as the
Brownsville mills do when at their
full capacity.
The contract between the Grays
and Mr.. Kay will be signed this
evening. 1t is expected that the
committee will begin the work Of
raising the subsidy on Monday.
The prospects of Salem securing a
wooden mill grow brighter as the
days glide along, and we are assured
their establishment is but aquestion
of time-and very short time at
that.

DON'T WANT FREE WATER.
The Salem Grange Asks the Governor
to Veto the Portland Bill.

The Salem Grange is conducting
its regular meeting at their hall in
this city to-day, There is a good in
teresting attendance and the dis
cussion of several topics was entered
into with much spirit. The opinion
seems to prevail among the members
of the Grange that the legislature
is taking the wrong view of the
Portland water bill. They believe
the passage of the bill as it stands
at present will establish an errone-
GUS precedent, giving all cities and
corporations just reason to ask for
the same privilege and exemptions.
On this all important question
they pass the following brief but
emphatic resolutions
Resolved, That the Salem Grange
appoint committee to wait upon
the governor and urge him to veto
the Portland Water Bill.
Resolved, That we are opposed to
any exemptions of property from
taxation.

MORE STREET RAILWAYS.
The Directors Decide to Extend the
Lines at Once.

Last night there was a meeting OF
the directors and stockholders Of the
Salem Street Railway Co. The OBJ
iect Of the meeting was to decide up
on the proposition of extending the
lines and to learn the sense of the
stockholders regarding the several
propositions to construct the several
extensions as proposed.
The directors were ordered to
bond the road or issue additional
stock for the purpose of meeting
their obligations and pushing the
extensions. They were also directed
to issue the remaining $4,000 in
stock at their discretion. The Cen
ter street extension was discussed,
and it is thought the $2500 bonus for
the extension of the line to Asylum
avenue will soon be raised. In this
event the line will be Immediately
constructed to that point and cars
be running over the entire route by
early spring.
The affairs of the company are in
a most satisfactory condition and all
are pleased with the manner in
which the State street line is being
operated.
The next six months will find
great advance in Salem in the way
of street car Improvements. Already
the, people recognize their worth
and are determined not to have the
matter rest with but one line in
operation.

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.
Doc ShaCkelfOrd, the Itinerant Veter-
mary Surgeon, Still on Deck.

Marshall Ross went to Portland
this morning and is expected to ar
rive in the city this evening, accom-
panied by Dr.(?) r. S. Shackelford,
whose innate faculty for getting in
to devilment has again been leading
the DIR. along the broad and tenn
pestuous walks. No sooner is he out
ofiail than is he againin the clutches
of the law. He spent several weeks
playing checkers with his nose and
the bars here last fall.
This time he is called to answer to
the charge of leading a young girl
from the path of virtue, on informa-
ton filled by f. M. Wright of South
Salem, step-father of the girl who is
straying from the ways of the true
and the good.
The girl thus misled is but thir-
teen years Of age and is a sister of
Shackelford's wife, who has long
been lost to the world. The old man
has been with her quite frequently
of late and on Thursday evening
they went out for stroll. They
strolled and strolled and Friday
morning the girl having not yet re-
turned home, they concluded the
pair were still strolling. Wright
filed the information yesterday
morning that ShackelfOrd and the
girl had occupied room in a lOdg-
ing house convenient to CONNER
cial street and Marshall Ross was
put on the track. The doctor had
fled, butlwas at once located in Port
land and will return to answer to
the charges. In the meantime, the
young Wright girl has found her
way home again, ready to repent
and be forgiven.

A CONVICT OF GREAT NERVE.
Howard Will Cut off His Other Hand
Rather Than Work.

The desperate convict, Frank
Howard, writhing in pain from his
self-amputated arm, declares that
he will not work, even when re-
covered. He says he will cut the
right hand off before he will do
manual labor. He wildly tears the
bandages from the left stump and
causes hemorrhage to follow.
Superintendent Downing declares
the man will work, even if tread
wheel has to be constructed at his
personal expense. Mr.. Downing
says these mills are successful in
other prisons in bringing obstinate
men to terms. The mill is turned
by water and the man who does not
walk with it, stepping as the wheel
turns, will be dragged under and
drowned. The Superintendent is
determined that Howard shall, if
he again refuses to work, walk the
tread-mill twelve hours each day
or be carried into the stream and be
destroyed.

COULDN'T FACE THE MUSIC.
Society Loses a Shining Member
Left Between Two Days.


Social and business circles were
not a little surprised this morning to
learn that a young Commercial
street dry goods and notion man
had suddenly sold out his stock OF
goods and taken hasty retreat by
last nights train, for California.
Such was the announcement,
which is substantiated by the cold,
hard facts.
The departed has for a good many
years been a resident of Salem,
where he moved among the upper
ten,u with low necked shoes and
cutaway vest. He conducted a pop
ular business, which brought many
of the best ladies of the capital city
in contact with him. 1t seems that
in all things he has not been con-
Quoting himself as would a gentle
man bred and born. Gathering
clouds have been thicker growing
and downpours on several occasions
have been averted but by timely in
reference. Respectable ladies were
10th to have their names used in
connection with his disreputable
deeds and the insults have been
borne. Several times have enraged
and innocent women declared they
would horse-whip him, but they
were persuaded otherwise. But still
water runs deep, and murder will
out.
The explosion occurred only day
or 50 ago and was in this way. One
afternoon this week a colOred lady
of this city visited the fashionable
young mans establishment for the
express purpose OF purchasing some
flesh colored hosiery. She was in
suited, and told her friends of her
insult, saying that the pet of society
had made proposals to her, unbe-
coming one of his standing.
When the story was once in the
mouths of society and of the com
mon folk, all wondered why it had
not occurred sooner. Many are now
glad to add their mite. Evidently
the young Napoleon of society was
aware of this, and rather than face
the music he sold his store and left
between two days for pastures new
and green. A wolf cannot forever
cover its voice by sleeps clothing.
IT MAY BE BLACKMAIL.
The gentleman by his departure,
would seem to acknowledge that all
was not well with his soul. But we
will consider him innocent until
guilt stares him in the face. He
writes back this morning, en- route
to California's balnly cline, that it is
u blackmail scheme, which he can
prove. He says he has letters from
the parties in the affair, demanding
hush money.
Anyway, the gentleman erred in
in leaving. But we shall see what
we shall see.
He sayes he will return soon.
