will employ q large number of females.
The early extension of the Baltimore
and Ohio and the Roanoke and Southern
to Salem will make it an important rail-
way center, and hasten its growth into
q large iron, steel and general manufac-
turing and commercial city. Salem and
Roanoke, now rapidly growing together,
are destined to DO the great industrial
center of Virginia.
Tho proximity of the great Flat Top
Pocahontas coal and coke, the abundant
supply of iron ore, timber, and other
raw materials, make Salem an adyan-
tageous point for manufactures.
Salem is the most attractive town il
Virginia.; and it may we'll be proud of
its SUI p~assingly beautiful location, its
healthful climate, its refined society, its
fine churches, its excellent schools, and
of Roanoke College, one of the leading
institutions in Virginia. Attractive as
a place of residence, it now offers I'M
usual advantages for manufacturing and
general business. No other town in
Virginia has ever equalled Salem's
record of progress for the last twelve
months. The stage of experiment is
passed, and Salem is now firmly estab-
lloncQ Ol a SOllO industrial OASIS.
The property of the Salem Improve
ment Company adjoins the old town and
is surrounded by the lands of other
strong companies. Being inside prop
crty, it will continue to increase in
value. The Norfolk and Western and
the Dummy Line to Roanoke run
through it and have their passenger
stations on it. The streets have been
graded and the town system of water
works extended through it. On College
avenue, which has been we'll graded and
~macadamized at Il cost of 50, 600, only
brick or stone buildings may be erected.
At the foot of this avenue stands the
tine new stone passenger station Of the
Norfolk and Western railroad, and
on it the Hotel Salem, costing S65,-
600, exclusive of the land or furniture,
is undcr roof, the Improvement Com
pany's bank and Office building-50 by
so feet, three storieS-is nearly ready
for occupancy, and n number Of large
business houses have beer built and
others arc in course of erection.
This avenue is sure to become one
of the finest business th%oroughfares
in Virginia.
Persons interested in locating plants.
or in making investments in Virginia,
should not fail to visit Salem. A
pamphlet of 30 pages, a map and
further information will be furnished
by j.. w. ALLEMONG, President,

The Salem improvement Company.

A TIMES reporter yesterday noticed q
young man and as they mean
dered through the court yard grove and
entered the, Office of the clerk of the
court. The girl was pretty and appar-
emily young, very much younger than
the country swain who accompanied
her. OF course they wanted q marriage
license. But they didn't get it, because
b parties had no proof of their age.
The girl seemed very much scared,
and when Clerk McCauley asked her if
there was any opposition on the part of
her paternal or maternal ancestors to
this proposed union, she looked more
scared, and said she thought there was.
The man said there was none, but the
girl could not prove that she was %, as
she alleged, and consequently they had
to return homo sorrowful. The man
gave his name as lisa; Sattlc. and the
girl as July Patesell. The said they
lived below Roanoke.

The Beet sugar l.ounty in Nebraska.


Now that the Oxnards have invested
over million dollars in beet sugar
plants in Nebraska the farmer legisla-
ture of that state has taken OF the
bounty which induced these men to
locate there. Mr.. Oxnard wanted the
bounty divided between the manufac-
turer and the producer. He would
have been satisfied with this and so
would those who raise beets. But the
alliance members said may" and swept
the entire bounty away. The conse-
quence is the Oxnards, to whom the
northwest is some what indebted for the
venture they have made, say they will
push the enterprise no further. Cor
porations should be kept within bounds,
but it does not look like good faith to
induce capital to invest heavily in an
untried enterprise by offering bounty,
then as soon as the plants are establish
ed to abrogate the whole thing. To
have left the amount of the bounty the
same and divided it between the pro-
ducer and manufacturer of the beets
would have encouraged an industry in
an agricultural state.

Argus-Leader: THE MITCHELL RE
PUBLICAN lodges the issue. The aues-
tion under discussion is not the value or
desirability of free silver coinage, but
whether the Republican party fayors
the use Of silver money as the equal OF
gold. Our esteemed neigEbor asserts
that it does, but although strongly urged
by the Argus-Leader during the past
few weeks, it has failed to whack up any
substantiating facts.
The REPUBLICAN has printed some
pretty solid statements by various Re
publican authorities on this subject, and
can not he held responsible for the con-
struction which the AL. sees fit to
put on them. THE REPUBLICAN has
also gone outside of the original discus
sion and conceded afew points for the
sake of getting the Argus-Leader's own
adeas on the silver question, but SO far
In vain.

An interesting Land once Decision

An interesting Land ONCE Decision.
The case of B. NJ. j. Conlin VS.. Vim.
Kelley, from Hanson county, has just
been decided by the secretary of the in
terror in favor of the defense, thus af-
irming former decisions rendered by
the commissioner of the general land
Office, and the local officers at Mitchell.
Kelley made proof in 1880 and in 1887
Conlin fled an affidavit of contest
against the proof alleging that the en-
try was made for speculation and to se-
cure title to the land because of valuable
mineral deposits. The department de-
cision is extensive and interesting, and
is in part as follows:
The testimony given at the hearing
shows that there is upon this land o
ledge of unstratified, extremely hard,
flesh colored rock, IL species of granite
which contains no trace of any valuable
mineral. 1t is common stone in Da-
kota, is Of some value as building
stone, being used for the foundations of
builings, cellar walls, bridge abutments
and other places where strong, rough
work is required, but owing to it's ex-
treme hardness and the fact that it is
unstratified and breaks with an irregu-
lar fracture, its commercial value is
not great as yet, although it is claimed
that this will soon he greatly increased.
The stone on the tract in controversy
has no peculiar property or character
istics that give it especial value such as
attach to gypsum, limestone, mica,
marble, slate, asphaltum, borax, auri-
focus cement, fire clay, kaolin or petro-
leum. Its characteristic appears to be
its hardness, and It's value, in this par
ticular mine, appears to be its proximi-
ty to the town Of Alexandria. 1t is
simply quarry of stone for general
building purposes and as such is not
