Land Around Salem.

An Albany paper thinks little of
Salem values, because Messrs. Albert
& Vanduyn have purchased, for a
little over 500 an acre, land lying
southwest from the Salem passenger
depot and says no land lying so
near Albany can be had for the
money. Neither can land north of
Salem, or east of it, be bought for
that money, but the land IN ques-
ton is quite gravelly and not so
valuable for any purpose as Is the
fine prairie about Albany or on all
other sides of Salem. 1t is singu-
lar fact that beautiful building spots
south of Salem, in the Red Hills,
are unappreciated and sell for not
over half the price asked on all
other sides of Salem, and the soil is
as good as can be desired.-Oregonian
For the Queen Anne addition
5000 per acre was paid, and any
land to the east or north of Salem
is held at from $3.50 to $500 and
5000 per acre, some of it at 500.
Besides all these lands have more
than doubled in value in the last
nine months. What they will
command next fall no one can tell.
Real estate all around Salem, as
well as in it, is increasing in value
very rapidly.

4 Big Industry.

r. L. Morris of Woodburn is in
the city to-day and tells the JOUR-
NAL he is about to begin cutting
1000 cords of cottonwood in the
Willamette valley to be shipped
to Oregon City and be manufacture
ed into excelsior. The excelsior
factory there will soon be ready to
start up on an enlarged scale and
will require over 1000 cords of this
wood per year.
This is one time where Salem
missed it. Mr.. Morris came here
first and wanted to establish his
factory here, but could not receive
the water power. He also tried
Albany. The result is, he went
down to Orgon City, where the
power was made gratis for a period
of ten years, and now they are
ready to begin an Industry that will
employ at least two dozen men, and
bring great amount of money into
the community.
Since he was here seeking lOca-
ton Salem has awakened. To-day
he could have no trouble in obtain
ing water power at reasonable rates.
But this is one manufactory we
have missed. Perhaps at another
time someone may decide upon To-
eating an excelsior factory here. To
all such the capital city says come.

A New Machine.

There is man at Woodburn in
this county named Remington who
has invented simple machine with
which he can go almost anywhere
and fasten ON to houses, trees and
stumps, and drag them right off.
One informant, r. l.. Norris, u re-
liable gentleman who is starting an
excelsiorimill at Oregon City, de-
clares the exhibitions are astonish-
ing, made by this machine, and
that it will revolutionize the pull
ing business, it being so small and
convenient and simple and exert
ing such an astonishing force.

Free Light and Water.

Many towns and small cities
throughout the country are putting
in their own electric-light plants.
The wonder is that any community
is willing to let private corporation
enrich themselves out of business
which can and should be conducted
for the benefit of all. Light, water,
and horse car service should be fur
nished by the city and for the citi-
zens at the lowest possible rate.
This would reduce the tax rate and
the cost of these things at the same
time. But it takes people a long
time often to learn the simplest les

Nineteenth Century Chlvalry.

A vilIainous, cowardlY, scanda-
Ious article appeared in a vile Port
land sheet concerning some persons
in this town. AS a proof of its
being by vile coward the wretch
names no man but gives the names
of some girls. He dare not name
the men, but is safe to talk thus of
poor defenseless girls. We regard
such creatures as the shame of the
press, and they make one blush for
his species. They should be served
as mad dogs. We ask every fair
minded person to just reflect on this
and say if we are not right. Dare
not name the men who were guilty
of this betrayal of manly duty, but
hold the poor girls up to shame.
Out upon such villainy.

Look TO Your Drainage.

Let them who use wells be very
careful lest water drain from vaults
and surfaces into them. Water
seeks its level and it is little suspec-
ted how foul it may become in wells
OH such fiat surface as this. Ty-
phoid and spinal meningitis are the
deadly results. Indeed there are
few safe wells in town. We men
toned this before, but can not do 50
too often.

He IS working his way northward
and is already billed as far up as
Marysville. No doubt he will be

He is the same Sam Jones as
formerly. The other night at San

to the collection basket and "warm-
ed itn to the audience for being so
mean in its contribution, and said
that only last week the people had
raid $12, 900 to see some men walk
around the room, and on Sunday
it took 5000 people to contribute Just

Thos. Alphine, the Sage of Mil

the Albany Democrat that in 1856 it
never rained from March until after
harvest and the crops were splendid.
In lS47 it only rained ten days in
June. He pronouncss the moon II
dry one and says it will not rain in
March. His advice is for farmers
to SOW their spring wheat at once,
for if we have late rains it will then
be too late afterwards, and if con-
tinued dry weather now is the only
time. March will be Il month Of
