THAT CENSUS REPORT.
Salem Suffers by Comparison, frcn
3 Report not Based on Full
and True Facts.

Perhaps there is no city iu the state
against which so many darts Of envy
are fired as at Salem. The Portland
. Oregonian would like to have it con-
sidered a little hamlet with 10
known greatness except that which
it derives from being in the same
state with Portland. The papers OF
Albany and other valley cities and
towns entertain an enyious feeling
toward the Capital city t,cau-e

made evident 10y its numerous in.
dustries, its immense business in ev-
cry branch of merchandising and
manufacturing, its fine brick blocks,
its continuous cement sidewalks and
its thousand testifiers to steady adj
vancement and improvement.
This envy seems to have reached
the supervisor Of the census for the
western district of Oregon, who
gives out the information that with
in the voting precincts, centering in
Salem there are but 7,23l souls,
while i'm Albany, East Albany and
West Albany there are G,S72. Now
there is not child ten years old
who can 60 through this city and
Albany and fail to believe with
out prejudice or favor that
our population exceeds that Of Al
bany by nearly two to one This
has been acknowledged time and
again by conservative Albany men
well acquainted with both places.
The fact is, Mr.. Kelley, the census
supervisor does Salem an injustice.
At best he only gives as the popu-
lation Of Salem those residing in
Salem precinct and a portion OF
East Salem, and even this he can
not give accurately withouta system.
attic footing which 1t is very doubt
ful if he has made yet Taking
these portions of North and South
Salem which are recognized as a
part Of the commercial city and the
population will show up very close
to the figures claimed forit.
The JOURNAL has no desire to see
the census returns padded, but ii

Nor MUCH FUN.-Messrs. Clell
Hayden and NJ. Krigbaum now deny
that they were robbed Saturday
night as reported in the JOURNAL
yesterday, and declare the thing
was "all n hSaX" on their part. For
the good name and peace of the city
the JOURNAL is glad this is the case,
but fails to see where the joke shows
itself in two men giving out such a
report, which was related to this
reporter by Mr., Joseph Howard, to
whom they told it for fact accord
ing TO his statement.

TUssLE WITH A SALMON. Mr..
II. w. Hatch, toremau il. the Sa-
lem FIGURING mills, had an ex-
citing but jolly experience with a
big chinook salmon yesterday. Mr..
Hatch, with a number of other men,
was engaged building ne@ tight
dam where the old gravel dam has
stood, and clearing out the channel
of the creek to insure more power at
the wheel. The crib at one end of
the dam had been full of water,
which was largely drawn of, leav.
ing about a foot deep in the bottom,
and there Mr.. II. beheld a beautiful
fish, which looked in the water to be
as big as a young whale, cavoriing
around in all his graceful though
plainly irritated movement. 1t had
either come down the creek or
jumped up over the side of the
crib and now found it a pris
oner. Mr.. Hatch concluded he
liked salmon and in he jumped to
capture the prize, but such a tussle
ensued as furnished more than a
bushel of fun for the crowd of fellow
workmen who were spectators. He
tried to hug the scaly, slippery in
truder to his bUsom, but the animal
wouldn't be hugged-it was too
cold-blooded for that. 1t was
battle worthy the establishment
of a Rider Haggard or a Cap
tain Mayne Read. First Hatch
had the best of it and then bis sal
monship would be on top; now
Hatch would have a tight grip
around the lish's gills and again the
fish would have like hold on Hatch's
finger, two or three of which were
slightly lacerate1; but perseverance
and puck won and the salmon was
finally captured, proving to be q rare
beauty. /; measured exactly three
feet long and weighed over 20
pounds. Mr.. II. says there have
been q few more seen above the dam
lately, and he is going to watch for
them.
