ED. JOURNAL: In your columns
/ noticed the fact that an ordinance
has been introduced in our city coun-
Gil providing for u license or tax OF
IS per year on male and IS on female
dogs, and notice also that your pa
Der thinks the enactment Of such an
ordinance would be a good thing.
After hearing this matter discussed
a great deal, | feel constrained to
give expression TO widespread sen-
timent thereon. There are very
many who honestly believe that such
a license tax rs named would be un-
Just aud oppressive. There are, Of
course, a comparatively few people
I'm the city owning fancy dogs for
hunting aud other special purposes,
who could afford without inconyeni-
ence TO pay such tax, aud who
would probably wish to see their
poorer neighbors cut of from the
privilege Of keeping a dog for The
companionship and protection Of
their children, and the general pur-
poses Of a house dog.
Now, there are many families of
limited means, these means derived
from hard labor, who reside Ia out
lying portions u the city, where
policemen are never seen except tol
pick up foolish c0ws.tbai have come
into forbidden pastures, aud those
people have need Of watch dogs, yet
could not afford 10 pay such high
dog license. No persou oiJcc,s 20 a
reasonable license, say 81 and tl.50

SAD AFFlLCTlON.
Four Members Of the ScOnce Family
Buried Monday Afternoon.

Thos. Hubbard, Of this city, was
called to the home of his sister, who
lived seven miles south of Silverton,
Monday to attend the funeral of
two members Of the family, being
those of his sister, Mrs. Sconce, and
her daughter Carrie. On arriving at
the home, which a week before was
happy one, he learned that the
death angel was still lowering about
that house and that two more mem
bers had joined the mother and
daughter. who died only a day be-
fore; These were the father, Adam
II. Sconce, aged 43 years, and his
mother, Mrs. Mary J. ScOnce, aged
81 years, who died Sunday night.
This family is well known in this
county where Mr.. ScOnce has lived
since 1853. The family were indus
trious and highly respected, and
many friends are saddened and min
ole their tears with the two mem
hers of the family who are LEFT or
phans, one girl l3 years old and
the other boy only ten. The girl
is quite in, but when Mr.. Hubbard
left the farm yesterday afternoon
SIZE was thought TO be better. The
lille boy # so tender an age, cried
that he might be allowed to die and
20 with his father, mother and
sister. The whole community
turned out to pay their last aud sad
respects TO a family who had been
kind neighbors. The funeral was
held at two o'clock Monday ailer-
noon, whea four new mounds were
added to the Lurying ground al
Lewisburg.
This has been remarkable case
Of afiiiciion. The family has always
been a healthy one. The children
had seen few days when they were
not able 70 be cut II was the lsss

The city council seems to have
entered upon a career of taxing
that is liable to prove fatal to some
Of the city's best interests. All con-
siderations seem to be throws to the
winds, except to raise money.
There is an impression that the
new truck ordinance debars every
farmer from selling any vegetables
or fruit in this city, except to deal,
ers. At least, a great many of the
farmers are of this impression. No
such ordinance can stand moment
when taken into the courts. AS it
is, it operates to keep the consumer
and producer apart, and this is not
a good policy for either. In many
states laws are passed TO establish
market places to be open at certain
hours and where all farmers and all
consumers can be brought together.
The present system gives a monop-
oily to few, and thus Keeps nearly
all other truck growers from dlspos-
ing of their products. This Keeps
the common producer from selling
to the dealer. The ordinance keeps
them from selling to the consumer.
And yet this city advertises for peo-
| Dla tn pnN,a hapa frOt,, tHo ooct ,,,l
raise trnck and fruit, and promises
them from $500 to $500 an acre in
come and then cuts them off from
taking advantage of the only means
they have of realizing a cent. W.
say this is damnable all around
The poor people of this city oughr
to oe at liberty to get these necessi
ties as cheaply as possible and tn,
producer ought to be at liberty t
dispose of his products to anyone
who wants to buy. This ordinance
keeps hundreds of farmers out O
town. If this is true the city shoulC
repeal this ordinance or show thai
it is not so intended.
The proposition to tax dogs is just
as outrageous and should be resisted
by all reasonable persons. The
whole policy is to force extra taxes
out of these kinds of subjects, that
are most oppressive and obnoxious
to the common people. 1t is time to
call halt aud the gentlemen should
see to ii that a more liberal live.and-
let-live-policy is adopted.

SALEM MENTION.

Slavtou Times: The Salem Wool
en- mills have adted hosiery de
partment and now We may wear
Salem socks.
Corvallis Gazette: The conference
of the Evangelical church just
closed at Lafayette, appointed Rev.
ID. V. Polling to tie Corvallis and
Independence rsslorates. Rev.
Strayer was appointed for Yaquina
and Rev. Balian'yne goes to Lafay-
etie.
According to the Junction City
Pilot, IA newspaper "bearing an
abundance of fresh and reliable
news, together with pertinent opin-
ions on all leading subjects of inn
portance," is pretty good kind OF
"A paper, and that is about what II
considers the CAPITAL JOURNAL.
Halsey News: The Salem can
merry people have contracted for
1000, 900 cans to be used the coming
season. This number of cans filled
with fruit will represent a value of
abont $780, 900 and will place the
Salem cannery in the front ranks of
the canneries of the Pacific coast.
This canuery was only started last
year, but has met with such success
that two carloads of new machinery
will be added for the coming seasons
work, and the output this year will
be four times what it was last, and
will employ one hundred hands in
the busy season.
A Santiam valley paper says,
quite pointedly: Salem is talking
of building motor line to Silverton.
Just where the great benefit would
arise is hard to see, but it might be
that the former would obtain some
trade from the latter point. In oul
mind, much better move for Salem
would be to work for the construc-
ton of railroad to Stayton and
thus tap and draw from a large and
wealthy agricultural and numbering
region. There is no doubt that
ultimately this road will be built,
out the time-that is somewhat in
definite. AS Salem casts about her
IN search of various means by which
to increase her trade by enlarging
the circle which bounds her tribu
tary business territory, it would be
wise to labor for some deserving
object. Let the papers of our sister
city work for railroad into this
neck o. woods and they may accom-
plish great good for themselves and
heir surrounding country.

\ AT THE CAPITOL MILLS,-A few
honths ago many thought the
scstch mills of this city would be
making flour and be employing a
large number of men by this time.
A JOURNAL reporter took a look
through the big brick.mill Monday
afternoon and found everything
Inlet about it. 1t is more than five
Years since this mill, which was
built at so heavy il cost, has made
sack of flour. The machinery,
when it was put in some nine years
.vo was of the latest and most I'M
moved style, and at this time Is in
pA condition. The boiling cloth,
d costly silk, is almost as good as
peW While the machinery is IN
gOOd condition, to polish, oil and
clean up the tons of machinery of
every description which are in that
great building, would keep several
men busy for weeks. Those about
the mill seem to have some hopes of
seeing work begun in the course of
another month. The people have
betn disappointed so many times
hy the reports that the mills would
be started that faith is almost lost in
them being operated. The only fact
10 he given now is. there is nothing
being done.

BOARD OF TRADE MEETING.
7. &. Perkins Talks Of Home Manu-
factOries-Mail Route
Demanded.

The Salem board of trade met
Monday night in special session to
consider some important business
Owing to the mass meeting and
other attractions the attendance was
small, The first thing to take the
attention Of the board was the matter
of mail route from Turner to Me.
hama via Stayton and Sublimity.
The demand was unanimous for the
establishment of that important
line.
The following telegram was sent
to the Oregon delegation in Wash
ington asking them to urge the re-
establishment of the mail route in
question:
"At "A meeting of the Salem board
of trade held this evening, a resolu-
ton was unanimously adopted, de-
manding the establishment of the
mail route from Turner to Mehama.
The people of Stayton, Aumsville
and Sublimity are without mail
This is the most necessary route in
the county and its discontinuance
is an outrage on those people,"
An urgent request from the busi-
ness men Of Salem should have some
weight with the authorities at
Washington, and it is possible the
route will soon be re-established.
T. G. Perkins, of the Salem Iron
works addressed the board on home
manufactures, how to secure them
and how to make them a success
when once established. His talk
was from a practical standpoint and
contained some good adYice.
SUCCESSFUL WORK.
In response to the telegram sent
to the Oregon delegation at Wash
ingtoa, the following good news
comes:
WASHINGTON, April IA.
Hon. JOHN G.. WRIGHT, President
Board of Trade:
The order curtailing of service re-
scinded. Service Is re established
between Turner and Mehama. De
partment will wire postmasters and

ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING.
Snlam Will Celebrate the
Fourth of July.
THE PRESIDENT REPLIES.
The President viii Stop in Sa-
lem---Last Years Celebra-
tiOn Will be Surpassed.

The mass meeting held in the
Council chamber last night was
called to order by Mayor Darcy,
who announced the object of the
meeting. f. E. Hodgkin was
chosen secretary. w. n, Ladue,
Gen. w. IL. Odell, J. G. Booth and
others spoke OH the subject of what
should be done TO induce the presi-
dent to stop in Salem when on his
western tour. A committee of six
of which the mayor was designated
as chairman, were appointed to
send the invitation, and should it
be accepted to call another meeting
of the citizens to perfect arrange
ments for the appropriate entertain
ment of his eXcellency, the president
while he is here. The other menu
bers of the committee were as
follows: Gen. w. II. Odell, w. N.
Ladue, VIM. England, Hon. A.
Bush aud G. B. Moores. The conf
mittee were instructed TO act i'm
mpdiately in sending the invitation
to the president. There will e
another meeting called to appoint
committees to wait on the president
SHOULD he accept the invitation to
make short stay iu Salem There
is but little doubt that the president
and his party will accept the invita-
ton and take look through the
capital of Oregon.
Immediately after the meeting
adjourned the committee sent the
following telegram:
Salem, Or, April IS, lS9l.-To
the President, Benjamin Harrison,
Washington, d. g.:
On behalf Of the citizens of Salem,
in mass meeting assembled, we eX-
tend to you cordial invitation to
visit the capital Of Oregon while on
your western tour"
FOR A CELEBRATION.
The matter of having a celebra-
ton in Salem on the Fourth of July
was brought up and the unanimous
opinion was that Salem should have
such. Ali present were ardent in the
matter and thought nothing shou d
be left undone to even surpass the
grand success of last Fourth. Many
thought the success which attended
the celebration last year made tie
greatest Fourth Of July celebration
known to the people of the Villa
mette valley possible.
The undertaking has been begun
in due time to accomplish this. The
work was begun too late last year
to bring all the attractions here that
were desired. This year that need
not be. Following in the wake of
last years success the matter of rails
ing money will be much easier task.
An effort will be made to have a
large number, if not all the com
panies of the Second Regiment here
on that occasion. To accomplish
that end Col. w. N. Ladue and 2.
f. Hodgkin were appointed a COM
mlttee to confer with Col. s. l..
Lowell to see what could be done.
Mayor darcy received the APP
pended telegram from the executive
mansion in Washington this after
noon, regarding the presidents visit
in the capital Of Oregon:
Executive Mansion, Washington,
d. G. April IA l89l.-P. Ii. Darcy,
Mayor, Salem, Or, Your telegram
of the IA inst has been forwarded to
Mr.. Boyd of the Pennsylvania r. R.
Co. in charge of the presidents
