WashingtOn-is coming into view
right i'm the front line and with its
marvellous natural wealth and ad-
vantages Of an enduring quality
will forge to the front and lead all
other states.
The secret has gradually leaked
out that the Willamette valley, and
particularly the country compos-
/ ing Polk and Marion counties, is
| the most worthy of all countries yet
! brought to the general notice, and
( that till within the past two years
/ the people living here 80 happily and
cOntented have been too modest to
. proclaim the merits of the country
/ To the outside world.
During the rush to the south and
north of them, they have looked on
with an half amazed wonder, never
| dreaming in few short months the
charms Of this valley would be found
out and attract thousands Of people
IN search of JUST such an earthly
paradise.
Hardly has this been realized till
it Is also seen that it is the last,
almost, in the United States that
has not been crowded full to over
flowing.
There is little need for us to re-
mind men of capital and experience
Of this opportunity, for they are
thinking aud acting for themselves.
But we do think it is a good idea
that the labOring men and farmers,
the bank clerks and store keepers

too busy in their practice to give
much thought to financial matters
the teacher and salesman, in fact,
the masses should look this field
over and make good, judicious in
vestments hefore it is too late to reap
the full benefit.
We believe that this is an "Oppor-
tunity Of a life time" and that it is
unlikely that it will ever again offer
to the masses now living here. Of
course 1t is possible that some indi-
viduals may drift into some other
locality at the right time to repair
the damage which will have been
done to their finances 10y prOcastin-
ating now. We admit that it is
possible, but who wants to run that
chance? We don't. DOyou?
From all points Of the United
States we are informed that people
are going to remove to the VILLAIN
ette Valley, of which they have
heard such wondrous and attractive
reports.
EVEN IN WASHINGTON |
AND THE PUGET SOUND there
is strong undercurrent, setting in
towards Salem and the Willamette
valley, which, before the season is
over, will resolve itself into an inn
migration that will add a good .
many thousands to our already |
fast increasing population.
In addition to our present attrac-
tive and substantial improvements
there are now proposed some public
which will advertise our
city so that the impetus will place

When Girls Are Engaged.

From the Ladies' Home journal.
You have II little band around the
third finger of your left hand IN
which IL set turquoise, and when
1t was put there you remembered
that the Hindoo said, "He who
hath n turquoise hath friend. "
Now, that IL what you have in the
Ian you love best, and whose wife
you are going to become--a friend.
He IL your sweetheart, your lover,
II is true, but because TO you his
heart seems the best worth having,
the richest gift you can possess, you
will not vulgarize, as many girls do,
the tie that binds you. 1t Is true
you go with him alone to hear some
wonderful music, or look at some
fine pictures, but | hope It il not
true that when you are at party,
or In your own home, you two pair
of and make yourselves the objects
for silly chatter and idiotic jesting.
lie can love you with his whole
heart, but he must not make you an
object of ridicule. He can think
you the most unselfsh girl in the
world, but he must not show his
own seltlshness by expecting you to
devote your evenings exclusively TO
him, Ignoring those who are at
home. Let him come In and Ice
one Of them-there's n dear five
minutes when he can speak TO you,
when he can kiss you on the lips
that he knows are only the gates t.
sweet, pure speech, and when he
can whisper the lovely nothlngs
that mean so much To YOU both.
Then, too, don't let him feel that he
must give up all his friends for you;
don't accept valuable presents from
him, and don't assume au air of
proprletorship with hun. Tell him
nothing about your family affairs,
for the secrets of the household do
not even beong TO the man you are
going TO marry, Guard yourself IN
word and deed; hold his love in the
the best way possible; tie II firmly
to you with the blue ribbon of hope,
aud never let Il be eaten away by
that little fox who destroys so many
loving ties and who Is called ia
mlllarlty.

The WAY Of the Candidnte.

Koekuk Gate city,
And odd usage il the way candi-
dates get themselves before public
attention. John Smith, of Smith
county, wants to be II candidate for "a
State Office. 1t means to him what
making II prosperous stroke in any
other business venture would mean.
Iii were raisinga big wheat crop he
would not expect n work hand to
raise IL for him for nothing, even If
he and the work hand were of the
same party. But he wants state
Office aud salary. He goes to his
county paper and asks 1t to plant
his political crop for him. Does he
expect 10 pay for this service? Not
n bit Of IT, IL has cost the newspa-
per man thousands of dollars to have
the paper and the ability To
plant John Smiths political crop,
but that Is nothing. John Smith
expects the service gratis. lie asks
for u good write up of himself for
State office, The paper conceals as
much about John rs II can aud pufls
him az much rs II dares. John takes
that pun and sends it TO the papers
of his party throughout the state and
expects them all To make the same
pun though they don't know him
from Adam, Most of them do il.
He takes these back to his county
paper aud has them republished to
show his home folks how large
fellow he Is away from home. SO in
a month or two he has his state Of
fioe and the salary, and the newspa.
pers have only the thankless, profit.
less work OF getting them for him

THR RACE PROBLEM.
How the Good Tact of Senator Bruce
Solved il in One Instance.

Solved II IN One Instance.
Commodore Van Santvoord, one
of the wealthiest of New York bus
iness men, the owner Of the Hudson
river line Of boats, says the Phlla-
delphia Press, narrated a most in
teresting and wholly new anecdote
about Mr.. Bruce. The Commodore
said that after Mr.. Bruce had been
elected senator from Mississippi he
engaged passage on one Of the Mise
issippi steamboats, up the river on
his way to Washington. The cap
tain Of the steamboat heard that the
black senator-elect was to take pas
sage by the boat, and he said that
he would teach the cOlOred upstart
his place If he tried to put on any
airs on the steamboat. The captain
himself told Commodore Van SAINT
voord what followed.
He said that Senator Bruce came
aboard the boat and at the first
convenient opportunity soughtthe
captain. He said to him: Captain
lam gong part Of my journey on
your steamboat and / want to say to
you that ] want my trip to be made
as pleasant and agreeable to you as
it possibly can be; therefore if you
will assign me to that place on the
boat where my people are usually
located and give me seat at the
table where the colored people get
their meals, | shall he very much
obliged to you" "When he SAID
that" said the captain, "and as
modestly aud politely as ever a man
spoke to me in my life, looked ut
him for moment aud then seized
him by the arm and said; "Come
with me; there Is nothing on my
boat too good for you, sir, and Insist
that you shall sit with me at my
own table at meal hours"
"fhe race problem" said Com
modore VanStantvoord, $50 far as
Senator Bruce is concerned, is
already solved"

ABSOLUTELY PURE
In Mem0Fiam.

Amy B. Mcclure, wife Of VIM.
Mcclure. who died near Silverton,
Or, on May 5, 1890, was born in
Johnson county, Iowa, Jan. 5, 1861
In 1868 she emigrated with her
parents to Oregon. In 1882 she
graduated with honor, from viii.
annette university, and taught in
the county schools successfully for
several years. On June 29th, 1889,
she was married to VIM. Mcclure,
Of Ellensburg, Wash, formerlr
from Silverton. About ten months
ago, Mrs. Mcclure was taken III
from over exertion at the great
Ellensburg fire, and fingered be-
tween life and death until her re-
lease. Deceased was a woman of
singuiarly sweet aud amiable dis
position, and was loved and liked
by large circle of friends who
greatly miss the sunlight of her
always cheerful presence. To her
husband she was a kind companion
and loving wife, and it is he who
feels more keenly than all else the
sad bereavement. The following
lines are communicated by friend:
Her weary feet have ceased to tread
The broken paths Of mortal pain,
Her lips will never smile again.
The patient heart that knew so much
Ofcsnkering care will know no more,
flushed in its own eternal calm
LIfe's fret and toll forever DER.
Tears seem a mockery to eyes
That look beyond the gloomy cloud
Which grief holds up relentlessly
Above the coffin and the shroud.
For her life's breakers are now passed,
For her the long unbroken rest,
No feyered dreams-no waking woes.
Only sleep forever blest.
And yet we raised our puny hands
Rebelliously mid binding tears
And asked that she crown of thorns
Might wear with us a few more years.
And yet we cried in bitter woe,
Tne vain unreasoning human cry,
Battling the dark robed Presence back,
"Father; thou must not let her die"
With naught to fear--no bodings dark,
About the mystic realms untrod.
1--WE made my peace" she softly said
81 trust tender loving God"
BE we as wise-the tears ofgrief,
loving God will wipe away.
And We shall find our loved and lost,
In Gods own bright eternal day.
Ore, May IL, 1890.

-- SALEM, OREGON


I Salem and the Willamette valley so
far in front that she will hold her
own against all competitors for years
to come.
Property is now within your reach,
and if you do not take advantage of
your opportunities it will not be our
fault.
We are free to admit that we are
interested in your welfare in a selfish
way, and that our incentive to inter
est 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 reputation to build up and
sustain, and an ambition to extend
our acquaintance and enlarge our
circle of friends.
This course cannot help but Ell.
large our business and make it a
pleasant 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 so as to cause us to infu-
ence 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 60 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 as well
have had as your own.

East OregOnian, (Dem.): In their

Pennoyer, the Oregonian and 9th eI
organs are insinuating some vague
charges against him with reference
to his disposal of school lands by
the board, Of which he is member,
as is also MIR. Mcbride, republican
secretary of state. We need not
anticipate the governors answer to
this slander. 1t will be complete
and conclusive. They are careful
to not do more than make misty
insinuations, but even these will be
repelled and dissolved as soon as
the governor has seen or heard of
them,

We have made it the poll cy 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
the same time possesses rare qualities
and is located where 1t has the great
est prospective value of any in the
market.
Living in Il country possessed of q
fertile soil and beautiful scenery, it is
natural for the Inhabitants who give
a thought to such things to desire to
locate upon high and slightly ground,
aud where there is deep, rich, black
soil.
In country like this valley, of
course, there are no bluffs. Near the
river are prairies like the one which
lies to the east of Salem.
Hence to find the highest, sightli-
est and healthiest as well as the most
fertile you must seek the highest of
the level ground in sight. In select
ing and buying our own homes we
were influenced by these qualities,
and believing that we are an average
in our tastes with other men, we
have made our investments and
secured other property to sell in the
