The CAPITAL JOURNAL is en-
ioying boom in the way of new
subscriptions. Come on friends,
"the more the merrier."
Real estate is gradually on the
advance in the city. We know of a
house and lot that has advanced $500
in the past ten days and the tide is
just coming in.
-Tis not all of life to livenOr all Of
death to die, but you get more choice

away for a very little money at
Squire Farrar's. Don't take our word
for it, but go and see for your self.

The merchants who laid in a
stock of sleds and skates, and those
boys and girls who received a sled
in their stockings from Santa Claus,
can safely put them away. Our
weather editor informs us that
there will be no snow, and that
settles it.
The fame of Salem has reached
far and wide, even people coming
from Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and
Kansas know as much about our
city and its facilities, upon their ar
rival here as we do. The reason of
this is because Salem has some"wide
awake" business men in it who
have notlspared the printers ink and
the result of their work is just devel-
oping.
january cannot be said to be
such a fine month, for when COM
pared with previous Januaries it
shows the comparison to be against
it, save only in the amount of rain
fall. There were two light snow
squalls" Total depth OF unmelted
snow was three-tenths of an inch.
The lowest temperature was "a deg,
the highest was So deg, the mean 80
deg.-Oregonian.
Dogs are becoming fast increas-
ing population in our city and some
of our citizens are protesting against
them. There are number of saw
age dogs running free that will hard
ly allow person to pass by the
walks after dark. Such CANNES
should be kept inside of the owners
premises and not allowed to run out
side and snap at passing individ-
uals.
Strangers coming into our city
now, a tthe time Salem is at its
worst, and remarking the beauty !
our city possesses, will see a wonder
ful TRANSPORTATION in its beauty
and grandeur In two months. Then
they will think as the prophet said |
Of Athens; Had God looked down |
upon US he would have thought it
the New Jerusalem instead" With |
the flowers blooming forth, the trees
putting on their shrOud of green fol- |
iage, and the sound of the carpen-
ters' hammers on all sides, will inn
press upon his mind that this as a
city possesses both beauty and en-
terprise.

MRS. CHARLES cROCKER DEAD.
The End Painless and Unexpected
Stricken by Apoplexy.

The End Painless and Unexpected
Stricken by Apoplexy.
san Francisco, Oct 2T.-Mrs. Charles
Croker, widow of the late Charles Croker,
OF the Southern Pacific Railroad Company,
died suddenly this evening of apoplexy.
Deceased. whose maiden name was Mary
A. Deming. was born At South
Bend, Ind, and at the time of her
death was 81 years and IL months Of
age. She was married to Charles Croker
in 1851. coming to California with her hus-
band in the same year. They lived in Sac
ramento twenty three years, moving to this
city in 1874
Mrs. Croker was apparently in her usual
health until last evening, just after return
ing from a carriage ride in the park, where
the apepiectic disorder first showed itself.
Her second son. George Croker, and Mrs.
Wright, OF Sacramento, an old friend of
the family, were with her when she died
Mr.. and Mrs VIM. II. Croker left
town in their special car last
night on journey Of pleasure
TO Mount Shasta. and il was the moment
they left Oakland that the apoplectic
disorder first evinced ITSELF Mrs.
Croker was, indeed. so far from
anticipating any indisposition that
she had promised to be present at proposed
Pacific Union Bohemian baseball match
Friday afternoon, and even after Dr. Fisk
reached the house about O'Clock last
night her illness was not
thought important. She slept we'll
last night, and even at 3 O'Clock in
the afternoon she was arranging
to go out. Today at 3:45 o'clock p. IN.
She was in anfire r,oa sessina of har focvlt;as
and the physician himself did not at that
time perceive any reason for immediate
apprehension. The end, however, came
about o'clock, and was as painful as il
was unexpected.
Mr.. and Mrs. William II. Croker were
at once advised by telegraph of their be-
reavement, and replied that they would be
i'll town early this morning. Colonel
Charles L. Croker is now in Paris, and
Mrs. c. A. Alexander daughter OF the de-
ceased, is i'm New York.

AGAINST AMERICAN VESSELS.
British Columbia and Its Monopoly OF
the TranseontinentAl Trade.

-
the TranseontinentSl Trade.
New Westminster Columbian.
The agent OF The Oregon Railway Il Navi-
CATION Company's steamships in this city
has received the following notice from the
collector Of customs 81 this port:
when goods are transported in bond over
United states railways in transit from Cana
eiiaa port, and Destined 20 another Canadian
port ia British Columbia, but intended TO be
trans-shipped at q United states port on the
coast OF the Pacific ocean, and 10 be carried
thence by vessel TO their destination. sucn

vessel having a Canadian register. or being

any foreign vessel which has acquired

isting form of things regarding the present
carrying trade OF Canadian bonded goods
from coast ports in the United States to
British Columbia ports, and viii necessitate
the establishment OF line OF British bot
toms To replace the American vessels now
engaged ia the trade. As there Is no re-
elprocal coasung trade existing between
Great Britain and the United States, United
S ta,es vessels cannot be allowed in any
manner to participate in this trade. The
bulk OF the business done by the lines OF
steamers plying between the Sound ports
and the ports of Victoria, Vancouver and
New Westminster is in Canadian bonded
goods, and when this trade Is placed beyond
their scope new order OF things must
come into existence. The new order is GER
tain 10 necessitate some radical changes in
the running of the regular passenger and
freight lines. and il will probably have the
effect OF sweeping away some of the long
established United States lines. The worst
feature OF the order is that it practically
gives the Canadian Pacific railroad a mo-
nopoly OF the transcontinenial trade TO
British Columbia, and sturdy protests
against such action is sure TO follow. IL
the order ~ maintained. she only hope of
the province to relieve il of the monopoly
will lie in the Southern railway, which in
this Wa yalone will prove boon far more
valuable than the price paid for it.

We incline to denur from the sentiments
sometimes expressed that any locality N
our state is entitled 10 = United States
senator because of its geographical or sec
tional position. or because Is needs puhsie
building. To say that Tacoma. or Seattle.
or Vancouver or Spokane Fails, or Waila
WSlla Is entitled 10 ane OF the seafors be-
cause it has or has not its quota OF repre-
sentafion in the public service. is very
pernicious sentiment. The habit OF meet
ing in convention and parceling of public
positions OF trust to different sec
tons of the state, Is the device of
small politicians, and IS q method de-
structive TO an efficient public service
in any commonwealth. To say that
Tacoma is entitled 10 senator because il
did not claim q member of congress, or
governor or state officer. or that Spokane
is not entitled TO one because the member
of congress elect and the attorney general
OF the state reside there, is most unworthy
of any fair-minded man.
Whist would Edmonds or Sherman or
Everts think ii told that their qualifications
for United States senator con-
sisted in the circumstances that
they lived in particular sec
ton of the state which they represent?
What our new state and what every state
needs is talent and patyiotisni--not the
best talent in a city or section, bat the

We are in receipt of a marked copy of
Tacoma weekly containing nearly three
columns of extracts from various other
papers setting forth the qualifications. etc,
of Hon. Walter J. Thompson for the posi-
ton OF United States senator. These three
columns are naturally condensed into the
statements that Mr.. Thompson is a young
man, good business man. = president of q

starting manual training schools in

the advocates of Mr.. Thompson be-
cause he is young man, we wish

fault with them because he is a bank pres
ident, We wish we were; nor because he
gave $40 900 10 education. we wish We were
able TO do likewise But we frankly saw
that ii the gentleman they advocate has no
other qualifications for senator than those
We have enumerated. that they are not
enough. There are thousands of young
business men in Washington, number of
them are bank presidents. hundreds of
them could give money TO the schools and
scores of them are otherwise we'll suited 10
be senator's. If Mr.. Thompson has not had
experience in public affairs, if his pursuits
and opportunities have not brought him
into personal contact and relationship with
the public men OF the nation, and none of
his eulogists pretend that ne has, he is not
the man who should be selected as one of
the first senators from the great state of
Washington, because he does not possess
the kind of knowledge which can be made
useful to the state from the moment he
takes the oath of Office. Until he acquires
that knowledge of public affairs, that ac-
quaintaneeship with the men who are uni
versally recognized as the leaders in con-
gress and the nation, the interests of his
constituents would have to wait.
The writer has known and admired Mr..
Thompson as an energetic business man
an upright citizen and a genial gentleman
for years and delights to bear tribute to his
worth. He has also watched his career in
the restricted field OF a territorial legislature
and he is constrained to declare the belief
that Mr.. Thompson Is not as strong in that
arena as he is in the domain of banking.
Fortunately for Western Washington
there Is an aspirant for senatorial honors
on that side who i not an old man, who
was a gallant soldier, is an educated law
yer, successful business man, with wide
experience in many lands as the trusted
representative of great establishment.

tional record as the executive of great

who would be able TO do effective work for
his constituents from the moment Of his
election. That man is Ex-Governor Wat
