I'm THE GARDEN.
She's fairer than q lily,

She's fairer than lily,
And she's sweeter than a rose.
And she knocks the neighbors silly
When she yields the gar den hose.
She lifts her skirts from danger
With her left hand, while her right
Grasps the nozzle, and the stranger
Gets very pleasant sight.
For she's always fresh and rosy.
And she seems SO fresh ond fair,
AS she sprlnkles every posy
With the most Impartial care.
The neighbors' eyes all twinkle
And their interst daily grows.
For they like TO see her sprinkle,
And they like to see the hose.

A FROSTED FLAME.

Says Algernon to Arabella, Don't callers often
stay
And bore you till you wish they were thous-
and miles away ~
"Oh, no." she says, mamma well knows the
friends like to see;
When bores arrive then she drops in and talks
to them for me-"
Alas into the room moment later coldly
h. sweeps
The kind mamma and seats herselfa though
she's there for "keeps."
Soon Algernon secures his hat and slides out
through the door;
He's very sensitive indeed. He calls on her no
more.

port is correct that the Union Bag

10 run train t-etweeu this city and
the fair grounds during fair week.
Salem has not given up the idea that
she must have al least one train fUr
that occasion. There seems to h. b
few persons in the city who think
that vehicles can do all the business,
but let the most sanguine advocate
of vehicles ride out there in a wagon
with fifteen or twenty in il with q
cloud of dust surrounding him and
he will soon be convinced OF the ne
cessity OF trains on the road. J.
may seem much like ",ld times"
but Salem is progressive city, and
the activity OF the times demands
that the memories OF the past be al
lowed 10 sleep. A good many of
the people of Salem think it was
through the influence Of Portland
largely that helped TO do away with
tie fair ground trains AID now il is
very kind of them 10 send vehicles

OREGON FARMING.
No Boastins Required to Set Forth the
Peerless Agricultural Advantages
of this State.

In this wear of almost universal
crop failures Oregon may rs well be
se, down rs the banner crop state In
the Union.
About four miles from Salem
where the Rickreall creek comes in
to the Willamette, is q small cleared
farm, mostly bottom land sloping up
to the hills, The whole comprising
not over forty acres Of cultivated
land in all. and yet it is one Of the
richest mines of agricultural wealth
in the nation today.
The owner bonght the land in Jan
uary 1852, and located on this little
tract near Eala. He found about
eight acres cleared and planted to
hops. BY bis own exertions and
without capital he has cleared this
patch and extended his hop farm to
twenty-four acres That hop yard
yields him sixty thousand pounds
of cured hops this year, for which
ne is offered IS cents to-day. He
may get 40 cents the way prices are
going. You can figure out the
value Of his hop crop yourself. Al
only 30 cents be will have SIS, 900 for
his hops or $3.50 an acre. He has be
sides four acres of peaches, four acres
Of prunes and twenty acres of hay,
the proceeds of which it is not ne
cessary 10 compile, but they are
alone sufficient to render his farm
self.sustaining. Of q first crop
from one acre of goose' erries he sold
$50 worth of fruit. The peaches
and prunes net from $50 to 500 al
acre. These are plair facts, with no
fancy about them, and they speak
for themselves.
What do candid men in other
states think of such results in the
Willamette valley" Is not this the
paradise OF farming, and the heaven
Of plenty for the poor man who
wants TO work? Can any section
equal this for productiveuess? Can
any small farm show equal returns
We can safely challenge the world
n produce anything like il. Why
should not Oregon 60 before the
world as the banner agricultural
state in the nation? We have the
cold facts 10 sustain our claim. and
even California can make no show
ing that will surpass this for real
results, expressed in the concentra-
ted form of hard coin.

II Is CERTAINLY NEEDED.-The
need Of having an electric light al
the passenger depot grow more ap-
parent as the evenings get longer.
The condition OF the affairs IL much
worse than before-tbe schedule OF
the two trains only double the griev-
ance. The only light there now as
most every one knows is eoal-oil
lamp in each of the waiting rooms
and few lanterns carried by train
men which only tend to blind those
epdeavoring TO see. If those whose
duty il is TO see TO this work, would
wait around the depot G few evenings
when the trains pull in and hear the
remarks Of strangers, they would
soon see the necessity of having a
light al that point. Strangers
who come TO the city and find the
depot lowering in darkness and not
being in very picturesque part of
the town, are naturally not very
favorably impressed at the first ap-
pearance of what they see and those
passing through do not give out the
report abroad that they were not
favorably impressed with Salem.
Salem can't afford 10 have her na.
tural beauty and advantages depre-
c;ated in the mind of stranger by so
small matter as that Of supporting
an electric light at the depot.

A SALEM PEACH ORCHARD.
Air Drainage the Big Tbins-0pe
Thousand Trees Net A.66 9
Busbel.

An article in the JOURNAL pre-
pared toy B. :. Pague. chief Of the
State Weather and Crop Bureau,
has attracted great amount Of at
teniion among fruit growers, and IN
this case the predictions Of science
are borne out hy the practical results.
Mr.. Pague asserted, in the article
referred 10 weekly, Aug. y, that
corn and reaches can I've successfully
grown in this part Of the Willamette
valley wherever sufficient warmth
Of the mig bit air during time Of ger
minati on and growth can be t.
cured. This can I've secured, Mr.
Paeue argued. wherever land slopee
upwards, and by radiation the air l.
cooled and as II COILS it desceuds t.
lower ground. 1t follows that
peaches, corn, grapes and Other
tender fruits likewise, Of course, oil
rising ground are not exposed to the
Intensity Of fros,s and cooled air a.
night found on lower or fiat lands
The two chief causes which coun
teract the effects Of terrestrial rsdi
alton are forest and sheets OF water.
Land adjoining a stream or body OF
water Is so much the better.
TO TEST THE MATTER
If the practica. value OF Mr.. Payne
.cientific assertions, q reporter
4 the JOURNAL visited IN,
largest apd most successful peacl
orchard near our city, Mr. :. A
Clarke's, to the South Of Salem.
Here he found a Thousand tree.
most Of them bearing iull crop til.
year of fine, ,sell-.ized, well-cnlured
and many of them highly favored
peaches.
Mr.. Clark has Just had returns
from large shipments t0 the Sound,
and his peaches netted him Si.55 b
oushel, and his bearing trees, tho
still young averaged from half
peck to 8 bushel. Here were found
all the conditions outlined by the
man OF science. There is slope tC
the sun and with trees growinl
Above; there are several large sloughs
and the Willamette flowing below,
quite cons derable bodies of water.
indicating that Mr.. Clark's success
At peachgrOwing is not matter o
chance but the result of iutelliCen
location.
But the proprietor does not en-
trust the fate of his fruit crop to
location. Every foot OF the soil l.
thoroughly cultivated and weeds are
d scarce article. He has big crop OF
corn as well as peaches. His sixty
acres contain upwards OF ten thou
sand trees, consisting OF Bartlett
pears and all the varieties OF pruues
grown here. Every acre Is not only
worked in the ground hut every tree
is intelligently top dressed, and
made the most Of 10y all the possible
care that eau be given it By a zeal
born of enthusiasm. Mr.. Clark's
orchard has many visitors daily and
il rich standing advertisement for
this region.
II il fact that his success in
fruits has been the means OF selling
scores Of fruit farms at advanced
nrices, for one visit will convince
anyone that fruit growing is not all
at Salem. Proving this
and proving the superior value OF 3
hill farm for fruit has been one oh
iect of the proprietor's life and he j.
with the result. And well |
be may be. His fruit will net Mr.. /
Clark many thousand dollars this |
year.
