MAKE CONTRACTs.-The manag
ers of the Salem cannery are making
extensive arrangements for thelI
summer and fall run. What they did
last year is only small affair com
paerdto what will bedone the coming
season. A large amount Of new
machinery will be put in and the old
mt in better condition. Though they
did an immense business last year,
vet the first years run was only a
starter for what will be done in the
near future in that line in this city.
The soil is here to produce the fruit
and vegetables, and the money and
enterprise is not lacking to turn them
into profits. The managers have al
ready let number Of contracts for
corn, peas, beans and tomatoes. The
main work Of the cannery will be
with fruit which can be had without
contract. The contracts are only to
induce farmers to plant certain crops
and secure them in finding a mar
ket The contracts are usually made
so that the cannery will take the
products at the market price. The
Salem cannery will be one of the
best equipped of the kind on the
coast when it is ready to start up
this year, which will be some time
in June.

The MARCH L1LY.--Mr. Wallace
brings the JOURNAL office bouquet
of the March lily. 1t is a handsome
white flower that now thickly studs
the forests and hillsides. The "Tril-
lium Ovatum." This is the name
given it by Prush. Wood calls it
the "Trillium Grandiflorium," and
Kellogg "Tillicum Californicum." /"
Common name biethroot, is the
nearest we can correctly designate
this flower now. 1t grows in the
Coast Range in rich soil, from San
ia Cruz to British Columbia. After
being in bloom few days it turns a
delicate pink, and later purple or
bright rose color. Mr.. Wallace sug-
gests that it be chosen as the floral
emblem of Oregon, and it certainly
deserves consideration among the
other queens of the forest and field.
1t comes now as the wild-fower EN-.
blem of Easter. 1t possesses n delicate
cooling odor of myrrh and spices
but is not solely Indigenous to Ore
gon. If we have not named it cor
rectly, will some botanist correct us

LAST NIGHTS TREAT.-Those
who attended the entertainment last
night at the opera house had real
treat. Miss Swanton is a fiue reader
and is all that is claimed for her.
She has an attractive appearance on
the stage and this with her articula-
ton, gesture and fine reading voice
makes her reading complete. What
has been said many times of the
home talent could be repeated.
They all acquitted themselves with
credit and are an honor to the city. II
is doubted if another city in Oregon
can show as brilliant home talent as
the capital city. Salem is proud OF
her artists. They appear at the Reed
again tonight. No one can afford
to miss this treat.

VEsTIBULE CARS. - The capital
city electric rail road company have
bought two Of the celebrated Stock
ton Vestibule cars. One of the Sound
cities had four of these cars made
and found that the travel would on
ly warrant the use of two of them
and the other two are now standing
in the shops in Stockton, California.
Some of the finest cars on the coast
have come from those shops, The
cable and electric cars of Portland
were made in Stockton, as were the
Seattle and Lake Shore cars. The
cars will be in Salem in about a
month. They are not only hand
some cars, but have all the latest i'm
proyements. The cars now used in
salem are considered neat, but the
new ones will discount them by far
in beauty.

STRANGE CARS. - Two strange
looking cars were seen at the South
ern Pacific freight depot this morn
ing. One bore the name of the Bur
lington & Missouri River railroad
and the other the Kearney q Black
Hills road. These cars are getting
long ways from home. They are OF
a somewhat different style to any OF
the others seen here. They have air
brakes, iron roof side doors and also
end doors. One of them was sealed
and the other contained pine timber.

SHUT DowN.-The Capital Lum-
bering mills have shut down for the
past two weeks. The mills are re-
ceiving some good repairs in tile
mean time. If the river does not get
any higher the mills will very likely
be doing nothing for a large part of
the summer. Last year the build
ing interest of the city suffered for
the want of lumber. This will be
greatly remedied this year by the two
wards which have been erected in
the city this spring.

Celebrated authors sometimes forget
their own work." said an eminent physi-
clan the other day. This is usually one
OF the effects Of disease or old age. AS
Walter Scott grew old he became a victim
to this kind of forEetfulness. Frequently
when one OF his own poems was read to
him he would ask who was the author.
'lvAnhoe' was dictated during n painful
illness and published before its author had
quit his bed. When Scott had become
convalescent he had no recollection OF the
story, Toward the close OF his life Lime
found great pleasure in reading his own
works. Forgetful that he was himself the
author, he would frequently exclaim as he
read: Beautiful Magnincentr 4 wish

"Macaulay, the historian, had a friend
whose memory had once been exceedingly
strong. Old age made it exceedingly weak.

A friend of mine relates an amusing ex-
p~erience he had some nights ago with a
chbman. He arrived from Brooklyn by the
Grand street ferry at about Q O'Clock a. m,
In the midst of a heavy rain that showed
no signs OF abatement. The air outside was
cold, the ferry house was hot and stuffy,
there was no street car in sight, and it was
a considerable distance to the nearest ele-
waited railroad station. A solitary cab
stood near the ferry house, on which sat a
"disconsolate looking cabman, wrapped in a
big waterproof overcoat. He looked at the
half dozen passengers with a Disguised ex-
preston, and did not take the trouble to
invite anybody to Take a cab, sig" Ny
friend at first supposed he was waiting for
some one by appointment. but, learning
the contrary, asked:
What will you charge TO take me up to
Broadway and Twenty-third street,"
Three dollars and a half" responded
cabby.
knock off the 50 and I will go with
you" said my friend.
Get in" briefly answered the cabman.
My friend says he heard the driver laugh
at intervals all the way up town. He evil
IDENTIFY appreciated "repartee."
When my friend handed him a dollar bill
at the end of the course he actually handed
back half a dollar, but was allowed to keep
the change, and his fare wondered whether
'cabby" didn't stable In Twenty-fourth
street and had not made a half dollar by
driving home.-New York Star.

ABSOLUTELY PURE


It is a wonderful sight to see a woman Of
average height with hair so long that it
reaches to her feet; but what wOuid you
think OF a hair switch o 100000 miles
longS Those erratic celestial adventures
called comets are SO named because the an
clients thought they resembled the flowing
hair of a woman. These switches in the
sky nave been seen 100 dogs. long, which is
more than the distance from the zenith to
the horizon. In the olden time the appear
Rnce of a comet was a dreadful event. The
strange visitant struck terror to the hearts
OF ignorant and superstitious people, be-
cause it was thought to be a sign of the
wrath OF Jehovah, and that il presaged
war, pestilence or famine. 1t was also a
thing of dread because of fear that it might
run into the earth and knock all things
terrestrial into smithereens.
But, thank to scientific research, in
these latter days we know that the flaming
comet is as harmless as a snowflake. The
constituents of a comet are practically the
same that are found in all the nebulous
matter in space. In fact it is not far out
OF the way to say that comets are simply
masses of nebulB moving in orbits around
our sun. and it is quite probable that the
other millions of suns or stars are similarly
visited by the strange specters. The fact
that stars can be seen through the nucleus
or head of a comet clearly demonstrates that
it is not a solid body. 1t is thought by as
tronomers that the mass of a comet is so
light hat its weight is far less than that
of the earth's atmosphere. 1t is probable
that the extreme tenuity Of comets ac-
cunts for the eccentrictiuy of their orbits.

The Schliemann method of acquiring
alauguugc is well worth mentioning
II consisted simply in reading n great
deal aloud without making a transla-
ton, taking a lesson every day under
the constant supervision Of n teacher,
learning this by heart and repeating in
the next lesson what was corrected on
the previous day. 1t was his habit to
learn at least two languages u year.
The Russian he studied without a teach
er, because none were to be had, while
he lived in Amsterdam, and he paid a
jew four francs a week TO hear his com
positions ia Russian, although tile fellow
did not understand one word.
The doctor was housed on the third
floor, but as the ceilings were made OF
wood his recitations were plainly to be
heard on the first floor, md his fellow
dodgers were so annoyed by the racket
hat they caused him to be turned out
OF the house. As is well known, he was
Obliged TO give up his grccer's ap
premiership on account Of having
ruptured Il blood vessel in lifting Il
hogshead The perfect muscular de
velopment and fine health with which
he was afterward favored he attributed
TO the exercise Of his lungs by constant
ly reading aloud. -IndinnapOiis News.
