LOCAL HAPPENINGS.

The only illustrated weekly west
of Chicago is West Shore, which has
not superior in any respect in the
United States. Its large colored il
lustrations are works of art, and are
of home scenes IN which our people
are all interested. Its editorials crisp
and pithy. Its humorous sketches
and paragraphs rival those of the
papers which make speciality of
them. Its illustrated poems are one
of its most attractive features. In
every respect 1t is just the paper our
people want for themselves, their
wives and their children. $4.OO a
year. l.. SAMUEL, Publisher, Port
land, Oregon.
The city editor of the JOURNAL
has always been considered rank
prohibitiCnist by the society people
| OF our city, but since his recent evo-
lutiOns with brandy mince pie, we
regret to say that his reputation as
such has faded away. Pass the pie.
This morning, at just fourteen min
utes past nine, any person with a
quick eye and little imagination
might have seen snow flying in Sa-
lem. AS these startling events are
not announced in advance, people
should keep their weather eye open.
Salem is to-day the best city in
Oregon. 1t Is not the largest as yet,
but there is no knowing when 1t
will be. 1t is the cleanest and
most progressive in the valley.
The output of the Oregon City
woolen mills for the current year
is valued at half million. That
is what the new Salem mills will do
fer our city.

road, which will Surely be Built
From Salem to the Sea.

Mr.. John g. Wright has shown
US letter from McMinnville, writ
ten by Hon. VIM. Galloway, in
which he says, that at a meeting of
the common council of that city on

mass meeting OF the citizens for the
purpose of perfecting plans for asst
ing in the building of the railroad
from Salem to Astoria, and express
ed desire that some of our citizens

How many of our citizens will go to
McMlnnville to attend their mass
meeting on Monday, Dec. 23d? If

A PROMINENT business man of this
place says he will be one of fifteen
to put up 5000 to build town hall
This same man tells us that a suita-
BILE and very desirable location can
be procured free of all charges. This
location in question is to take hall
of the ground from the Academy
campus and the other from the
unused portion of Walnut street at
the corner of Spruce. The authori-
ties OF the school only ask that the
use of the building be given them at
commencement times. The town
will give their portion gratis. At
the number and amount quoted
above $4,000 would be the total
which sum will be sufficient to put
up a veey respectable and commo-
dious hall. This suggestion is the
most tangible we have yet heard. A
SO, 1000 town hall is better than nc
town hall at all. Some kind of 8
town hall is an actual necessity and
we should have a cheap one if it il
the only one available. If any per
son wants to put in another 5000 VIZ
can furnish the name of the gentle
man who made tEis proposition.
We must again make this request
Of the Ladies. Please come othel
days than Saturdays and avoid
the crowd. We know some were
angry on Saturday last, that could
not get our attention, but it was i'm
possible for us to wait on them, SC
we again make the request. Will b.
pleased to see you any other day.

A M0rgant0wn Firms Fine Work.

The well known firm of J.E.Watts
u Co, the marble workers, have been
filling some large orders lately in a
manner that must add to their bust
ness reputation. Happening in their
shop yesterday we noticed among
others very handsome monument
ordered by Mrs. Jefferson Tenant
for her father and mother, Mr.. and
Mrs. William Chesney. The mar
BILE shaft is ready to put in place
and is credit to the lady who
bought it and to the men who built
it. Another very pretty job just
completed was stone for the grave
of Nora Schnatterly at New Geneva.
The firm has also just put up a
monument over the grave of Mrs.
George A. Walls at Kingwcod with
which the friends of the deceased are
highly pleased In all cases we have
found by comparison that these gen
tlemen furnish the same class OF
goods that agents from distant cities
sell, at 10 to rs per cent. less money
than the agents ask. They also
guarantee all work and deliver just
the article they sell. When you
buy from stranger you must take
all the risk as ten chances to one you
will never see him again and if you
are cheated there is no recourse. Our
home men may be found here at all
times and stand ready to make Their
contract good. The moral of this
is: buy from home dealers whom you
know and from men who could not
afford to sell you anything but the
best, even If they we're disposed to dc
so.

A Distressing Accident in Marion
County.

Last Saturday morning a shock
ing accident occurred at the porta-
BILE saw-mill of James Cook near
CASTOR mines, causing the loss of
his brother Millions arm. The latter
was acting in the capacity of sawyer,
and to correct the motion of the saw,
which was not running quite true,
he struck the revolving disc slight
blow with his gloved hand. The
glove was caught by the saw and in
moment the unfortunate man 8
hand and wrist were torn and cut in
terrible manner, the injuries being
such as to compel amputation. DR..
Fitch was summoned and assisted
by Drs. Roger and Brownfield took
off the arm about half way between
the wrist and elbow. Mr.. Cook
stood the operation well, and is now
doing nicely but the loss of his arm
(the right is serious matter to him
and we deeply sympathize with him
in his misfortune.-Fairmont Inder.

Matters Military.

Maj. j. G. Gluck, Brigade Inspec-
tor, was here on business pertaining
to his office last Thursday. He
came to inspect Co. l. This COM
pany having neither arms nor uni
forms belonging to the State, did not
get hauling over the Goals for the
bad condition of them, and as to the
make up of the company the inspec-
tor gave us to understand our su-
periors were not to be found. In his
report Maj. Gluck will have few
words to say on the necessity of the
company being equipped at once.
The ones in authority wait for the
inspectors report before supplying
new uniforms, as many, of the com
panies will be found deficient and
forfeit their places in the regiment
to give room for new ones being form
ed. Thus it will be seen that no uni
forms will be forwarded till com
pany is reported in good condition
by the efficient inspector. We are
pleased to be able to give the infor-
nation that our company will be re-
ported favorably and the equipments
will all be forthcoming.
Maj. Gluck related to the commits
stoned officers of Co. / that the mill
tia will get all the benefits designed
for it during the coming year. Ev-
cry city, village and hamlet is anx-
ious for the formation of new COM
pany and the Regiment will have to
be enlarged to let in a few of the
best new applicants. He said that
the encampment of the brigade is a
sure thing for next summer.
Capt. Miller received a letter from
Gen. Wood last Saturday in which
that official stated that the uniforms
for Co I will be shipped to this
place the latter part of this week.
They will probably arrive here Sat
urday or Monday next. At any rate
the day of their arrival, there will be
orders published to report at the ar
mory to receive them.
Capt. Miller also wishes to impress
upon the minds of members that
when orders are made under the new
regulations men must report or be
court martialed. The company is
now completely organized and all
with their names on the rolls come
under this authority.
The time for being again sworn in
has not been definitely settled, but it
is thought by the Commissioned Off
GERS that that formality will occur
the first week in December.
There will be important business of
the company at the armory Friday
evening. All attend.

A Greensboro Woman ATTEMPTS Suicide,

A few days since Miss Louise
Shelby, of Greensboro, shot herself
with revolver in the head, the ball
glancing on the skull and coming
out of the scalp behind the ear. The
suicidal attempt was not successful.
For over year Miss Shelby has
been victim of melancholia. She
is about 80 years of age and lives
with her mother, brother and sister.
There had been a loaded revolver in
the house for more than 20 years
which her father loaded before his
death, several attempts had been
made since by different people to
discharge the weapon, but it would
not go off and it was laid carelessly
away. In one of the lady's lowest
Respondent fits she picked up the
pistol and pointing it at her fore
head and fired, with the effect stated
above. Her first words after recov-
ering consciousness were "why did
you not let me die?' She was at
tended by DR.. Benz. Birch and it is
thought will recover. A strange
part of the occurrence is that the
woman had previously been slightly
deaf but the effect of the shot has
been to restore her hearing.
