Perpetual Notion Cranks.

Men who think they have dis
covered perpetual motion can be
found in every little city through
out the civilized world, and while
many of them are not enthusiastic
enough to waste their time and
money experimenting, yet they be-
lieve in the certainty of the future
solution of this most abstruse prob
lem, of a material nature that has
presented itself to the human mind
as they do in their existence. Port
land has two or three such characters,
and, according to the Telegram, Sa-
lem has one: "There is an old
mechanlst in Salem, l think his
name is Powers, who has been at
work on perpetual motion for twen-
ty years, during his spare time. He
Is worth some money now, and
does nothing else but experiment,
although he is nearly 20, and feels
as confident as the other cranks." "

FROM THE VALLEY TO THE SEA.
Does Salem Want the Astoria Road, or
Don't She Carer


Does Salem Want the Astoria Road, or
Don't She Carer
Every day the preliminary sur
yeys of the Albany and Astoria rail-
way line are being pushed along the
projected route from the valley to
the sea. Salem is not interesting
herself, seeming to rest comfortably,
satisfied to see the road make con-
nection with the great Willamette
valley at Albany. Salem acts as If
she did not care whether the road
was ever built or not. But really
the sentiment of the citizens of the
capital city is unanimous in a de-
sire to have the road come here. The
advantages offered by Salem are
many, but unless backed by a spirit
Of enterprise and get-in-and-work
they will not amount to much
when placed in competition with
the rustic and go-aheadativeness of
her neighboring cities.
The Salem, Tillamook Il Astoria
railroad company was duly incor-
porated and an effort made to have
the lines OF survey run. Here the
matter was dropped. The estimated
cost of the surveys was reported and
a public meeting was held, and for a
time the public expected to hear of
something being done. But it was
not done. No more meetings were
held, and the matter would have
been forgotten but for the fact that
Albany shortly afterwards organized
a company with similar purpose
as its object, and already has the
survey about completed.
This recital of a few plain facts it
IL hoped may serve to stimulate
those who really have the welfare
Of Salem at heart to do something
in regard to the securing of this
Astoria railroad before 1t Is everlast-
ingly too late.

SWindlers.

Fruit tree swindlers are again in
testing the country. The scheme
now in hand is to furnish farmer
| with so many dollars worth of trees
say $500-free of charge. The
farmer is to plant and take proper
care of these trees and to deliver to
the agent one-half their profits for
ten or twelve years. But if the
farm is sold during this time, the
trees are to h. .,aid> for at the price
agreed upon; and as evidence of
good faith the farmer gives his bond
to this effect for the amount. So far
there is no fraud, but in short time
man mes along, admires the ap-
pearanc} of the farm and tries to
buy it. The price is finally agreed
upon, aid the farmer is to furnish a
clear tiEe to the land. OF course
the bond has been recorded, and to
secure the sale is promptly paid.
And after the fruit tree agent has
been dispensed with. the farmer
turns to his supposed purchaser,
but, alas! the bird has flown, and he
goes home a sadder if not a wiser
man.-Willamette Farmer.
