THE STERT PAVING,
A Demand That Must Soon be Met
Seveaal Schemes Talked Of for
Paving Salem.

The subject of having the streets
of Salem paved cannot be agitated
too much until the work has been
begun. The city surveyor has
furnished some estimates of
the cost Of different kinds of
paving material. The following
are his figures, including the put
ting of the street in order for the
paving, but not including the curb.
Vitrified brick, $2.75 per square
yard: cedar blocks, 50. so; Asphaltum
$400. According to these estimates
cedar blocks are a little the cheap
est. In "a wet climate like Oregon,
some are inclined to doubt the ad-
visibility of blocks for pavements,
Where they are used the heavy We
hicles soon cut them down until the
roads become very rough, though
many of the streets in parts of the
city of Chicago have such pave
ments.
In talking with some of the citi.
zens and property owners, it seems
that the general opinion is that Wit.
rified brick is the material best
adapted to the need of Salem. AS.
phaltum makes fine pavement,
but it is too expensive. Some think
the estimate on this material is 9
little too high, and il doubtless is, il
the gravel in Mill creek could be
used instead of crushed stone
These .stimates were all made will
view of using the best articles o
payement, and fair pavemen
could be put in at somewhat simi
lar outlay, if cheaper materials wer'
used, but many will doubt the ad
visibility of using anything bu
first. class material, and having i
done in a workmanlike manner, ant
when once completed, it will b'
done for years to come. .
There is one thing certain, ant
that is, Salem has been in the mut
about as long as a city Of her stand
ing can afford to be in such a condi
ton, Her wealth and commercial
importance demands that she have
better streets. Let the work begir
at once, and the principal streets re
ceive such attention before another
winter sets In.

More cases haYe been added than

DIED.

WAGNON.-At the residence OF
his son, Brooks WagnOn, In West
Salem, Feb. 26, 1891, at 820 p. M,
George B. Wagnon, Sr,, aged 81
years and 28 days.
The deceased had been a resident
of Salem for 33 years, having come
here when Oregon was yet a terri
tory. He was born in Kentucky
Jan. 2S, 1900, and there he spent his
youth, and there is where his an
cestors had lived for almost a cen
tury before him. He had been
married twice and has been 8
wild over for many years, his last
wife having died in 1868. He was a
lawyer by profession and began to
practice 20 years ago and continued
in that work until few years ago.
He leaves nine ch ldren, five sons
and four daughters. Four of the
children reside in Oregon, one in
San Francisco, one in Utah, one in
Wyoming, one in Idaho, one in
British Columbia and one in
Chicago.
Mr.. Wagnon will be remembered
and missed. He has been one Of
the familiar land marks, so to speak,
of Salem. Scarcely a day passed
when he was able to be out that he
was not seen on the streets with
long staff about as tall as himself.
He never wore any beard, but
allowed his hair to grow down over
his neck and ears. During the last
few years he had been little child
Ish and peculiar in bis ways.
The arrangements for the funeral
have not yet been announced.

Frank MCWhorton not gone out

have also gone up in the smoke. If
Il had not been that it was raining

Took THE ORGAN. Some time
ago Mr. Geo. Skinner, of Indepenk-
ence loaned an agent S25 and took
an organ for security, but on last
Saturday, Wiley B. Allen, of Port.
land, came up and claimed the or
gan as bis property, saying that
the agent had no authority to dis
pose of the same. Mr.. Allen was
armed with legal authority and took
possession of the organ, but Mr.
Skinner intends to hold Mr.
Allen for the twenty-five dollars
A fine legal point is probably in
the transaction. This is the same
case of which accounts were given o
similar acts from Corvallis and New
burg. The man Wilson or Will
Jams, as he was known by botL
names, was taken in by Sheriff Gro
isan in this city, and sent to Port
land where he is now in Jail.
