CEMENT WALKS.
A Few Facts In Favor Of Good Walks
Cement Walks the Cheapest
in the End.

The attention of the JOURNAL
was called to the subject of cement
walks by some of the business men
this morning, asking that comp,r-
ison be made between cement and
board walks, as to the cost of each.
In consequence Of the suggestions a
JOURNAL man made some inquiries
from those who have had cement
walks put in. The cheapest piece of
good work was put in for II cents n
square foot, but ii was found the
work on State street between Church
and High cost lS centsa square foot,
which Is the usual price for such
work. The cost of putting an eight
foot ement walk across "a lot with a
50-foot frontage at these figures
would be S53. Such a work is said
to last life time, but putting the
limit at % years, the interest on the
sum invested in the walk for the %
years at Is per cent, plus its cost,
would amount to $3.50.
To put down the same walk with
lumber would require 1000 feet,
which would cost $3.50 at the mill.
Allowing Sl.50 for nails and Sl0 for
a carpenter to put in the walk, would
necessltate a cost of S24, which is
a low figure. This walk
will last with some repairing
five years, .and to keep it up
for the p years, not allowing for
the repairing, including the interest
at the same rate as in the above
case, would cost SlS6 which is S53 50
cents in favor of the cements, ana
Just enough to put in another walk
the last % years.
This is not given as complaint,
but was looked up at the instaace of
some of the wide awake business
men who suggested that many
were not familiar with the cost OF
such walks and that an irvesti9a
ton would be of interes to those
building and keeping up walks.
With the facts as brought out by
the inquiry leaves but little encour-
agement for poor board walks in
such a city as Salem.

INCOGNITO. The Albany Herald
has this bit Of romantic news: A
good looking couple of young people
presented themselves at County
Clerk Payne's Office yesterday and
wanted license to marry. Being
total strangers, however, and not
being able to find any person to
make affidavit for them, they could
not procure a license, and conse-
quently could not wed. They de
elined TO give any names or place of
residence, and will probably seek to
have the hymeneal knot tied in
some locality where they are better
known.

DESIRABLE AND BENEFICIAL
The month of September this year
proved a surprise to the Oldest in
habitant by its persistent refusal to
give a drop of RAIN TO this portion of
the valley. The drouth was becom-
ing serious IN many ways, Sheep
raisers were compelled tn gather up
their flocks aud commence feeding
them; the cattle ranges were becom-
ing somewhat barren; the springs,
those fruitful sources of delightful
water, were fast drying up; the dust
on the roads and unsprinkled streets
was almost unbearable; the farmer
could not plow because the ground
was too dry; there was danger of
malarial troubles becoming preva-
lent, but October comes with the
joyous sprinkle that washes the
cobwebs from every Oregonian's
heart. A nice rain is pouring down
to-day with a likelihood of continu-
ance until the parched earth is sat
isfied and the numerous streams
take motion to carry off the sum
mer's accumulation. The fall rain
is grand thing for the Willamette
valley, and it will set the wheels Of
every business in rapid motion.
Salem's commercial work will in
crease a hundred per cent after one
week of rain. The valley Oregonian
is not happy or inclined for exten-
sive operations in dry, dusty time
--he must have rain, and he's right |
about it.

INTERESTING REVIEW. "A writer
in the Albany Democrat gives At
very readable chapter on the history
of that city from which the follow
ing gleaniugs are taken. DIR. VIM.
Miller, settling there in 1852, was
the first physician. His son is n
policeman there now. Rev. Miller,
Revs. York and Mckinney, Of the
Methodist church, DIR. Hill, of the
Baptist and Drs. Irvine and Ken
dali, of the United Presbyterian,
kept the spiritual wants attended to.
Miss Pauline Hackleman, June II,
ls49, was the first child born in
Albany; the first hotel was built by
Lincoln d Wright and run by Mr..
Forsythe. DIR. Sheppard kept the
first drug store, Joseph Laurent the
first saloon, Ed. Stewart and James
Mcfarland the first blacksmith
shop and in 1851 Mr.. Earl started
the first sawmill. Hon. Delazou
Smith, whose son Nanny is at pres
ent deputy sheriff, started the first
newspaper, the Oregon Democrat.
In 1853 court house was built
which burned down in 1861, and the
present structure took its place in
1865. The Methodists built the first
church, in 1857, the L. P's in 1861
and the Congregationalists in 1864.
The city was incorporated in 1865,
with Judge J. {. Powell mayor.
John Conner started the first bark
and the first fire company was or
ganized Jan. 4, 1863. The first law
suit was in 1854, with Geo. H. Will
liams judge; the first will recorded
was VIM. McClain's; the first deed
was filed August %, 1854, from
Noah Huber to S. F. Jones; the first
mortgage was filed April IA, 1854,
from 7. l. Crawford to Robert Pent-
land, and on Sept. Z, 1853, jeremiah
briggs flied the first mining claim.
briggs peak is still a prominent
landmark in the now famous
Quartzville mining district.

Some Suggestive Facts.

The official report from the Unit
ed States consular officers, received by
the state department during the
last few months and just published,
ou the subject of sugar, reveal state
of facts of interest not only to every
business man and every consumer
in the country, but also aud especial
ly to all who are interested in the
develOpement of the beet.sugar in
dnstry in Nebraska snd elsewhere
in the northwest. These facts are
not less significant as regards the
policy OF reciprocity, now engaging
80 notably the attention Of the coun-
try.
TIE first striking fact is the aston
ishiDg rapidity with which the pro-
duction of beet sugar has grown in
Germany aud other European coun-
tries during recent years, particular
~ during the last three or four years.
So rapid has been the encrease of
the output Of beet sugar that Cuban
cane sugar has been almost totally
driven out Of the European markets,
and the Cuban cane industry has
now been reduced to absolute de-
pendeDce upon the markets of the
United States. In 1887 the beet
root product had reached the amount
of 2,4sl, $50 tons of sugar, having
doubled In ten years. In 1888 IL WAS
2,7S5, ,s44 tons. In 1889, by the sud
den increase In the German beet
fields, the total was swelled to 5000
200 tons. The following table, made
up from the official government re-
ports, shows the product for lSS9-0O.

Away cut in the pine woods of Mont

any lover Of ancient love could wish Here
is one of his best:
There is big difference nowadays in
the way things is done. and | want to tell
You of a very eccentric character who lived
in the long AGO and who was quite a celeb
rlty in his day allude to old man Dread
Swain of Emanual county. For twenty
eight years he represented his county in
the state legislature and many amusing
things are tuid Of him. There were few
railroads in this time and the only way TO
get to MiIedgeyie was to 90 on horse
back or walk and then, of course, if he
went on horseback he would be put to the
expense of keeping his horse while there.

and it is said of him that instead of board

used to camp out in the suburb and 20 in

ious old gentleman and hated 70 spend his
money for anything. | recall one anus
