RESIGNS HIS OFFICE.-Mr. f. f.
Austin, has resigned his position as
secretary and director of the Gold
Mountain and Dry Gulch gold and
silver mining company, and the
secretary's desk will be occupied for
the present by Mr.. r. III. Miller, who
is also vice-president and treasurer.
Mr.. Austin's duties as manager of
the Salem Abstract and Loan COM
pany and in other business allowed
him no time to attend to the position
above named, hence his resignation.
This step will be widely regretted by
those who have business with the
mining office, as Mr.. Austin's
energy, atfability and general good
business qualities We're important
factors in placing the company in a
favorable position before the public.

A LADY SUICIDES. Word reache-
this city that on last Friday evens
ing about o'clock, Mrs. Taylor
Thomas, daughter of Mr.. David
Harper, of Washington county,
aged 30 years, committed suicide at
her home in Yamhill county, one
and a half miles distant from what
is known as Wapato station, situated
on the West Side railroad. AS near
as could be ascertained, the facts are
as follows in the case: The deceased
had had no sleep the night previous
and requested her husband to take
the children and go to the barn and
make them swing, in order that
quietude might prevail and perhaps
she would be enabled to sleep. They
had been absent only short while
when they heard the report of gun,
and, returning, found that the de-
ceased had cooked the deadly
weapon and with stick of wood
had discharged it, the entire load
entering the skull and lacerated the
brain IN horrible manner. The
attending physician states that for
some time her health has been in
firm and that her nervous system
was entirely broken down. The
calamity bears heavily on the hus-
band.

AN OvERsIGHT.-In the notice of
the performance at the asylum on
Friday evening last, we forgot to
mention that little Nina Lane,
daughter of DR.. Lane, carried away
the honors of the evening in assum-
ing and playing to its fullest eff
feet the character of edith" in the
"Gypsie's Revenge" This child,
who is only five years of age, played
II really difficult part in a manner
that would reflect credit on pro-
fessional. Mrs. w. j. Irwin also
carried out her part in II creditable
manner. Mr.. f. Sprague sang the
tenor part in "Thou Art My Own
Love" in II way that showed he was
no stranger before the footlights, al
though it was his first appearance
before Salem audience. Mr..
Vaughn also acted his part in a
pleasing manner.

THAT BIG BRIDGE.
II is Time That Some Steps We're Taken
Driving Stock and Teams Over
in q TrOt-DOing Damage.


For sometime complaint has been
made to the JOURNAL that the law
governing the rates of travel over the
big Willamette bridge was not being
observed.
The matter was investigated and
it is learned that the complaints
were well founded. On one day OF
last week band of e5 head of cattle
were driven across the bridge i'm a
dead run. Certain individuals
whose names at present are with
hela and have been seen time after
time, trotting across the bridge in
as unconcerned manner as you
please.
This practice that has been going
on for some time is beginning now
show the bad result of the same.
Saturday one of the long iron sus-
pension rods broke loose from its
fastening and swung loose on the
side. The weight of it in falling
caused it to be badly bent, SO bad
indeed that this morning u force of
workmen were put to work repair
ing it. Other weak places will be-
gin to tell shortly if this malicious
and careless practice is continued.
II would seem that no thought of
their own safety enters the mind of
those who perpetrate such doings.
1t has been suggested that the
city place Il man in ii place where he
can catch and arrest those who are
guilty of fast driving across this
bridge and that after a few fines
have been paid the practice will
come to q sudden termination.
Two large signs are placed in prom
inent places at each end of the
bridge, on which are painted in
large, plain English letters the
words, Twenty dollars fine for any
person riding or driving faster than
a walk across this bridge" Some
action must be taken i'm the matter
orclse the bridge will soon be so badly
Jared up that it will keep from two
to three men constantly employed
to keep it in repair and then the life
Of travellers will be endangered.

IBID You CATCH ON?-In q
small town in California a minister
closed his sermon the other day with
these words: 1--WE would be pleased
to have the young men who are now
standing outside the door come in
and make certain whether she is
here or not. That would be great
deal better than opening the door
half an inch and exposing the peo-
pie In the last row of seats to a
draught." The JOURNAL has for
some time expected to hear various
ministers in the city of Salem close
their sermons with considerable
more cutting remarks than the
above. There has grown a practice
here in this city, much to its shame,
for from fifty to one hundred young
men, boys, kids and in fact all speci-
mems of the male type who do not pos
sess the right qualities of manhood,
to congregate around the place of
worship and after TIE evening SCI
non Is over and the congregations
are dispensing for these changers
on" to "catch on," as they term it.
The practice is far below the dignity
of any right thinking person.
Young man, if lady has character
enough for you to see her home after
church, you should have the MAJ
hood and should take pleasure Iii
escorting her not only from church,
"but to church, To more fully il
lustrate this practice; reporter was
seated in a prominent barber shop
this morning, waiting his turn,
when his attention was attracted by
u fifteen-cent dude saying to the
barber: "You should have seen me
"catch on" last evening" The bar
Der remarked: "Say, A-why don't
you take that lady to church
right and stop that practice of stand
ing on the outside, blocking up the
walks and waiting your chance to
catch on" To which the bright
young man replied, "What, me
take her to church! ha, ha, say do
you take me for a sucker? Why, I
wouldn't think of doing the like"
The JOURNAL hopes to see the min
listers of this city make a general
fight on this thing and put a stop
to it. About the only way it can be
done is through the efforts of the
young ladies who can, If they will,
put sudden veto to the whole pro-
ceedings. Do you catch on?

One Fact

Is worth column of rhetoric, said an
American statesman. 1t is a fact estab-
lished by the testimony of thousands OF
people, that Hoods sarsaparilla does cure
scrofula. salt rheum and other diseases or
affections arising from impure state or low
condition of the blood. 1t also overcomes
that tired feeling, creates a good appetite,
and gives strength to every part of the
system. Try it.

IRRIGATED Lands.

The advantages OF irrigation were
almost totally unrecognized in this
country until about ten years agoi but
there's now under irrigation an area
thSeo times that Of the Spanish lands
80 cultivated and more than twice
that reclaimed in Italy. 1t is equal al
so to that Of Egypt, which has been
flooded by the Nile for ages. Two
thirds Of tho ancient civilizations rec
ognized the advantages Of irrigation
from the dawn Of civilization; and ut
tho present timo more than ohe-half
Of the worlds population .is in whole
or in part dependent thereupon. The
value Of irrigation has already been
clearly demonstrated in California
and Colorado, and the reclamation
by France Of 100000 acres Of land
from the desert Of Algeria has been m
immense value both from IN agricul-
tural and q political standpoint. The
system Of federal land ownership
which Great Britain attempted to in
troduce into India was the cause OF
much disturbance and disorder; but
since the famine OF 1866 the Anglo
Indian government has devoted itself
to the construction Of irrigation works
and has placed the ryots, or land cul-
tivators, on tho land astenants Of tile
government district, thus restoring in
a modern way the relations Of the
cultiyotor Of the land to the govern
ment. -.Philadelpbia Record.

Royalty TO Home Interests.

An exchange has the following to
say in regard to patronseing home in
stitutions and industries: "Upon our
loyalty toour town dependsits growth
and prosperity. Each city and town
has its advantages. A loyaltyto these
advantages isits life. First we must
in our trading and buying patronize
those trades and businesses in our
own city insteadof going to neighbor-
ing or distant towns. We are obliged
to do this, because if our fellow-citizen
is doing his duty by us he is patroniz-
ing us in our business or. calling. If
the clothing merchant goes to another
city for his stoves, the hardware man
is justified in going to another town
for his dry goods. Should such thing
become general in any one town the
dissolution of that town is not far
off,"
