The Guy Brothers troupe OF min
strels gave one of the best entertain
ments ever given in town, at Village
Hall last Friday evening. All of the
performers are well up in their several
roles, and the family is power in the
profession. Should they appear here
again crowded house will greet them.
The oldest native resident of Brad
ford, Mrs. Laura Hay, mother of Bar
ron Hay, Esq, died after a lingering
illness on the morning of the 25th inst.
Almost year ago she fell and frac-
turned her hip, and never recovered,
although her general health was quite
good much of the time. A few days
ago she seemed to have taken cold, but
was not so i'll that anything serious
was apprehended. Of her death, it is
said that she went to sleep and never
awoke in this world. Mrs. Hay was
born in Bradford, Feb. 10Th, 1899, and
consequently was in her ninety-first
year. Until her accident she had been
a woman of unusually good health for
one of her years. She had made it
her home with her only child, Mr..
Hay, for good many years and died
at his home. She was a pensiOner of
the war of 1912, being the widow of
soldier of that war. Mrs. Hay was
married in Boston on her birthday,
Feb. Is, 1926, to James Hay, Esq, of
Steneham, Mass, although just before
his marriage he had resided in East
port, Me. Mr.. James Hay was the son
of Peter and Rebecca Hay oee Stone
ham, Mass, and was born in that town
Nov. 18th, 1888, and died there Aug.
18th, 1862. He was soldier of the
war of 1912, a corporal in Capt. Abram
Reynolds company 10Th Regt. U. S.
Infantry. His grandfather was also
named Peter and lived in Stoneham.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hay lived in Boston for
a while, but she spent all the days of
her widowhood in Bradford, her ma
tive place. She was the daughter of
John White, Esq, who at one time
owned the Wright or Lounsbury farm.
The family were friends of Micah
Barron, former High Sheriff of Or
ange county, and from whom Mrs.
Hays son received his given name.
Mrs. Hay was woman of strong feel
ings and decided opinions. Her men,
ory was remarkable and she had fund
of information in regard to the early
inhabitants of Bradford. The funeral
services were held at the home of Mr..
Hay on Wednesday, Rev. j. w. Lees
officiating.

rumored that the iron for the Salem
and Silverton motor line, or part of
1t has been ordered, and that work
will soon be begun. 1t is to be
hoped the good news will be con-
firmed." The above Is another in
stance of how the morning cotempo-
rary takes good news items from the
JOURNAL and then attributes them
to Madam Rumor or some other in
definite source. For their conven-
ience in the future we will say that
whatever statements appear in the
JOURNAL can be relied upon. AS IA
prominent citizen remarked, "the
JOURNAL is not sounding brass
nor tinkliug cymbal." 1t Is II
too common practice for
papers to make careless statements
and trust to the charity of their
readers to overlook them, but we
want it understood right here tha,
the JOURNAL is responsible for every.
thing that appears In it. We don't
claim to be infallible, and if per-
chance an error slips into our
columns we stand ready to correct
1t. In the future we trust the good
brother of the Statesman will feel
free to use any items he finds In the
JOURNAL without hesitancy. II
he does not wish to give us the
proper credit, let him write the item
over, but not throw cold water on
public enterprise by attributing our
statements to Madam Rumor. The
JOURNAL has not been built up OIL
Misrepresentation, and we want it
understood by our neighbor, as it Is
by our numerous readers, that its
word is as good as its bond.

A LARGE BUSINESS!
Some Facts Concerning the Phenome.
nal Success Of the Capitol Adven-
ture Compauy's Store.

The JOURNAL is always pleased to
note evidences of prosperity on the
part Of men OF enterprise, and es-
pecially where their success has
depended entirely on the good
Judgment and business management
of the parties. Salem has many
solid business houses, some that
have been established a quarter of a
century, and others not so long.
Among the newer business houses
of our town perhaps none has en-
jcyed greater prosperity than the
one whose name appears In the
above headlines, the Capitol Ad-
venture company. This concern
was incorporated in March, 1885,
with capital stock of $4,000, and
only 20 per cent. paid up. January
5th, 1883, the stock was increased to
$15, 900, and on the 11th of the pres.
ent month that amount was doubled,
making a capital stock of $50, 900, all
paid up, as will be seen by the secre-
tary's official notice in our advertis-
ing columns.
This firm has from the start kept
a general merchandise stock, and
exchange for farm produce. The
firm at first used only the one room
in the corner of the opera house
block. From this start the business
has grown to such proportions that
all three rooms are now required,
making a magnificent double store
Of the whole, and the largest In the
city. Last fall the large grocery
stock ofRoth & Greenbaum was pur-
chased, and a complete grocery de-
partment added.
The building up Of this great es-
tahlishment, and the immense pop
ularity which the business has
attained is largely due to
the personal efforts and gen.
erous business methods of Mr.. 8.
Friedman, the genial manager of
the concern, and also In measure
to Mr.. Eugene Willis, the present
secretary of the company. The en-
tire business stands as monument
to good business management and
shows what can be done in
our city in a business way. We
here have metropolitan establish
ment which 1t is a pleasure to rec
ommend to the public. 1t is an es-
tablisment which takes pride in
the fact that it was built up from a
small start on its merits, and that
fact alone will ever commend it to
the public.

About five o'clock in the evening
she went to the stairway and called
to her daughter, who was up stairs,
to come and look after some work.
When the daughter came down

horror stricken to see her mother
sitting in chair, dead! She quickly
gave the alarm, but the soul of the
body had fled, and life was no more.
The family are all we'll known In

A Suggestion Regarding the Salem
and Astoria Railroad.

The following, from the Astoris
Citizen, suggesting combination
between Salem and Albany to build
railroad to the sea, is suggestion
worthy of consideration:
w. H. Andrews, a railroad en-.
gineer, from San Francisco, who
has been travelling throughout this
state for q few weeks, arrived in
this city yesterday. He has ex-
amined into the several proposed
iron highways headed for this city,
and in speaking of them to Pioneer
reporter last evening, stated that all
of the proposed routes are feasible
and from business standpoint will
pay big. "But why two roads
should build over the same territory
fail to see,n said Mr.. Andrews,
speaking of the proposed lines from
Salem to this city and from Albany
70 Astoria. "Both Salem and AL
bany are growing cities, and both
should be within easy reach of the
water" continued the gentleman,
but the lines will parallel each
other for greater part Of the way.
My idea would be for the live cities
to join issue and build the road to-
gether. A central station could be
formed at Dallas, say. From there
one line would suffice, as both roads
will make Tillamook, and thence
on to this city,"
"What do / know about the build
ing of the Union Pacific into Asto-
ria? Only what 1 hear. Everybody
I have met in the upper country
says that a branch line will be built
soon, and as for myself believe 1t
will as it will form one of the most
important parts of the system.
Henry Jackson, Of this city, was
seen and asked what he thought of
Mr.. Anderson's idea of forming the
Salem and Albany lines into "Y"
at Dallas. He looked at map for
moment and then said he thought
the idea was an excellent one. Both
cities would under such q system
have railroad and at less cost
than the building of two through
lines direct from each city.I

gene that M. P. Martin, Sr., had
been shot and killed. 1t seems that
about 8 o'clock Tuesday morning he
went to the house of Mrs. Isaac
Taylor, who resides about three
miles from Cottage Grove, and while
she was alone In the house, made q
criminal assault upon her chastity,
when she shot him, killing him in.
stantly. She at once went to Cot,
tage Grove and surrendered herself
to the justice of the peace. When
parties went to the house they found
Martins body lying in the bedroom,
The people in that vicinity commend
the action of Mrs. Taylor. Martin
was a pioneer of Lane county and
known by all. He and his wife had
a quarrel last spring and she com.
mitted suicide to end her troubles.

Young MAN DoN'T LIE TO YOUR
GIRL.-"I don't see why people will
insist on telling lies," said young
gent of Salem to a JOURNAL reporter
this morning, especially to their
sweethearts. I've had a heap of ex-
perience in affairs of that kind and
never knew anybody yet to lie sue
cessfully-not to speak of. I've got
a friend who is at It all the time in a
well-meaning way. Forinstance he
arranges to 60 somewhere. BY and
by his girl comes along and wants
his company for that evening.
Then, instead of telling her just
what he's going to do, which would
fix it all right, though it might dis
appoint the girl little, he thinks
he'll let her down easy by telling
her that he's got to work that night.
Having got away he hies
himself to his other en-
gagement, and the first thing he
knows runs against particular lady
friend of his girl, who is taking in
the same show with her husband.
The lady friend casually mentions
to the young lady the next day that
she saw So-and-So last night at the
theater. "Oh, no." says the girl.
ooh, yes" says the friend, and tells
all about 1t. Then the young man
is in trouble, and isn't forgiven for
weeks. You see, it doesn't pay. AS
a matter of policy everybody ought
to tell the truth. It's heap easier
and better and less troublesome. 1
haven'tltold my girl a lie this week"
The reporter swallowed all until the
last sentence vas uttered, when he
tainted.
