r. Fl. BARNES, PRES.

AS early as 1900 Americans were
fully alive to the fact that there was
value to real estate in and around
cities of this country which old not
attach to that Of any other nation IN
the world.
The cause Of this is easily under
stood when we stop to think that in
ali other countries up to that time
real property belonged largely not
to the individual but To line of in
heritance-a perpetuity that offered
no incentive to acquisition or trade.
At that time all mercantile pursuits
and trades were looked upon as be-
meath the dignity of genteel peo-
pie, and as a vulgar adjunct Of life
which contributed remotely to their
comfort. Hence men who dealt in
real estate in a commercial way
were looked upon as little better than
professional gamblers. This did
not apply to agents alone-for they
were little more than servants-but
to anyone who was known to be
dabhliug in real estate.
Foreigners and descendants of no
bility living in this country could
not perceive that the will Of the peO-
pie was the sovereign of this nation,
and that individual was an equal
part of the sovereignty, thus attach
ing to them Il right or joint owner
ship of the nation whose property
they could acquire and convert by
legitimate means into individual
holdings-absolutely IN their con-
troll, giving them the right to buy
and sell as they please. This value
is best realized when we think it was
an opening for the poorer classes
to acquire homes, and with cOmnen-
dable vigor they sought TO secure
property as quickly as possible. The
progressive had faith III his govern
ment, in his country and his town,
and when he had secured his home
he added to his holdings and "pro.
vided for Il rainy day" by taking ad-
vantage Of his knowledge and oppor-
tunities and buying piece of
property which he knew someone
would come along and want, and
that, too, within very few years,
and at price which would net
handsome profit. From that day
till now this has been pract!ued
with profit by the wide awake peo-
pie in every walk of American life.
1t has worked its way across the
from east to west and from
north to south, till nearly every
point in America has had period
of unusual prosperity which of late
years has been designated by the
suggestive name of booms. Several
years ago California headed all COM
petitors and tor several years led the
procession not only of the Pacific
coast but Of the entire country.
Hardly had its spirit began to wane
when Washington Territory, with
all the vigor of a dashing youth,
sprang to the front and has led up
to the present time.
Now however, Or0gon-the happy
medium between California and

Poultry Points.

Never keep stunted poultry.
Give the fowls plenty of exercise.
Fresh eggs always command good
prices.
Fowls should have dry dust in
easy access.
Dry earth is good absorbent and
should be generally used.
Feed just what the fowls will eat
up clean. Waste makes poverty.
Vermin can be kept from the
poultry house by frequently spray
ing with coal oil.
Matching should be pushed now,
for it Is the early poultry which pay,
to sell or lay.
BY providing clean nests and
gathering the eggs often, soiling
can be avOtded. 1t never pays to
send dirty eggs TO market.
Unpleasant Odors in the hen
houses can be prevented Ly cleanli-
ness, and by freely scattering air
slack ed lime over the floor,
If you have not ordered your
eggs yet, do so at once; for when
wanted you may not be able to get
them, owing to the rush. Better
write our advertisers now.

Never use immature animals for
breeding.
All work animals should have
their feed increased, and do not

Are your horses in the proper

Bad roads are hard on teams,

What are you doing toward having

See that lots, barn yards, sheds,

to come.
Property l. NOW within your reach,
aRd II you do not take advantage of
your opportunities il will not be our
fault.
We are free to admit that we are
interested i'm your welfare in a selfish
way, and that our incentive tOlnter-
eat you in property is largely due to
the small commission which will fall
to our share, but it is not all, as you
will perceive upon reflection. We
have a reputation to build up and
sustain, and an ambition to extend
our acquaintance and enlarge our
circle Of friends.
This course cannot help but en-.
larLc our business and make it a
pie SAINT pursuit as well To ac-
compliSh this we must prove to you
that our judgment is good and that
our motives are not entirely selfish
or enough 50 rs to cause us to infiu-
encc anyone TO invest where he
might lose all his hard earned
pennies.
Our trade is rapidly increasing and
we flatter ourselves that our efforts
in behalf of Salem and her people are
being duly appreciated, yet we do
not expect nor desire more trade than
We merit and which the merits of
our property deserve. Come and see
us and if we cannot please you go to
some other agent and look at his
bargains, but do not neglect to in
vest now. If you do you will have
to buy and pay the newcomers a
profit which you could just IA well

We have made it the policy of the
corporation which we represent to
recommend only such property as
will prove profitable to the investor
and which possesses an actual value
entirely distinct and separate from
a speculative value, and which, at

and is located where 1t has the great
est prospective value Of any in the
market.
Living in Il country possessed Of Il
fertile soil and beautiful scenery, it is
natural for the inhabitants who give

locate upon high and slightly ground,

AN UNNECESSARY SACRIFICE.

The statements which have been made as
to the cause of the death of Congressman
Watson, show q remarkable devotion to
duty on the part of that gentleman, and at
the same time raise the question whether
the intensity of party spirit which causes
such sacrifices is not wholly misplaced. 1t
is asserted that Mr.. Watson was killed by
his attendance at certain critical votes in
the House, when in a very precarious state
of health. Three times-on- the first con-
tested seat, on the federal election bill, and
on the agricultural bill-Mr. Watson came
to the House because he was informed that
his vote would be absolutely necessary.
Each time his action was contrary to the or
ders of his physician, and eacn time showed
terrible inroad on his scant surplus of
vitality, until the third time resulted in his
death.
There may be cases in which the sacri-
fee Of life and health by legislator in
order to be present aud east his vote at some
critical juncture, will be as truly an act of
patriotism as the more dramatic ones of
Leonidas or Winkelreid. But it should
be certainty that the object is great enough
to demand the sacrifice. While we cannot
withhold our admiration, from Mr.. Wat
sons high ideal Of duty, it is hardly possi-
BILE to ignore the fact that the sacrifice,
which would have been well-placed devo-
ton if the purpose had been to enfranchise
Il race or preserve the hation from disinte-
grafton, was misplaced devotion when it
was made simply for the success Of purely
partisan measures. 1t was not we'll to throw
away, or even imperil life, in order to un-
seat Democrat by vote which Speaker
Reed himself declares to have been gov
erned not by the evidence but by party feel
ing; were any of the votes which Mr.. Wat
son lost his Life to attend, charged with such

A cREpIrABLE DECISION.

The abandonment of the carpenters strike
at the Exposition, and the return of the
men to their work, proves that the labor
organizations involved in that dispute have
been actuated by more moderation and for
bearance than they are usually credited
with. Their determination to lay aside the
strict enforcement Of the union rule against
working in the same building with non-
union men, rather than imperil the success
Of public enterprise, deserves recognition;
and it should be placed to their credit that
they have suspended an iron-clad rule where
they perceived it would work public in
justice.
OF course most people will agree that to
apply rule Of that sort at the Exposition,
where score Of different employers let en-
tirely separate contracts for work, would
work decided injustice. Such a rule if
enforced might be construed to forbid union
men to work in the same square with nom
union, or order strike on all the houses in
q certain plan of lots because one house in
the plan was being built by non-union
workmen. The workingmen themselves
have perceived the hardship of the case,
and have come to the sensible and liberal
conclusion that hard and fast application
Of the rule shall not be required in this
case.
With this satisfactory adjustment of the
difficulty, it may be hoped that work will
now be pushed so as to permit the second
oranInO of the Ernosition with all the er
hibits in complete and attractive shape.

oNom1cAL ACHIEVEMENTS.

The progress of astronomy, the secrets
which it has penetrated, and those which
may be hoped to be near discovery, are
brought out in an article BY M. Camille
Flammarion, the French savant. The
especial theme, is the progress made in the
manufacture of telescopes of high power,
and the information obtained through them.
Starting with the fact that Galileo began
the scientific investigation of astronomy, by
introducing the use Of the telescope, in that
science he marks the progress of the science
by stating that three great telescopes are
now in use, anyone of which would have
seemed fantastic dream to our predeces-
sors." OF these, the two in Europe are the
smaller, having lenses about 30 inches in
diameter with length of 80 to go feet. The
observatory at Mt. Hamilton In California
has a telescope with thirty-six inches Of
free aperture and length of fifty feet.
What has been affected hv the use OF
these magnificent instruments is shown by
some photographs obtained through the lat
ter instrument, of the moon, Saturn and
Mars. "On one of these latter" says M.
Flammarion, ga heavy fall of snow is per-
ceived which in twenty-four hours covered
on the planet Mars an extent Of surface as
vast as the area of the United States. The
further observations on this planet, and the
fact that astronomy seems to be close to
greater discoveries, are set forth as follows:
For example, we have Mars before our eyes.

OUR EXILRD BRETHREN.

1t is not such great fun after all to cross
the Atlantic, even to hob-nob with princes
and swap stories with patented nobility, il
one cannot get back again when the soul
sighs for the only true land of the free and
the home of the brave. There
are about thousand free born
American citizens in London alone, the
cable tells us, who cannot for love or money
get transportation back to this country.
The continent of Europe is full of involun.
tary exiles in the same fix. This is ter.
rible state of things. Here is election day
coming on aud all sorts of good times and a
host of our countrymen can only yearn and
sigh for home on a foreign shore. How
would it do to send the famous new feet
over to bring back the exiles? The navy
could do that nicely anyhow.
