EDUCATION AND LAW.
The Remedies to be Applied to Prevent
Cruelty to Animals.

People don't like to admit that
they are cruel 70 animals, but many
are ignorantly and innOcently so.
To keep a cat or dog where 1t is
debarred from exercise and free
access to its one medicine which
consists of grass, is species of cruel
ty. To keep milk COW or horse
tied up in stall, the barn often ill
lighted and poorly ventilated, is
another. Yet good people do these
things and worse, in violation of the
natural right of these valuable
creatures of God to have humane
treatment.
The good people of Salem are
organizing to educate this commun-
ity to greater sense of justice to all
living creatures, believing that it
will elevate society and benefit all
classes morally and pecuniarily in
the end. The third meeting of the
OAhbh MAINE OOS1cl1
was held in the reading rooms
of The Willamette hotel yesterday
afternoon and completed the organi-
zation. The attendance was large for
an afternoon meeting, which shows
the move is receiving warm sup
port. The election of officers took
place withthe following results:Presi-
dent, Hon. A. Bush; first vice presi-
dent, BIS. Cook second vice president,
Mrs. Edward Hirsch; correspond
ing secretary, Miss Lillian Applegatei
recording secretary, Miss r. F. Hall
treasurer, w. n. Ladue; executive
committee, P. S. Knight, E. G.
Minton, Mrs. A. H. Dodd, II. McF'
Patton, Seth Hammer, Or. j, Rey-
nolds. The nomination of officers
was made by committee appointed
at the last meeting, and their choice
was confirmed as given above. The
secretary was instructed to order 500
copies of the paper entitled "Our
Dumb Animals" for free distribution
among those in sympathy with the
move. The matter of regular and
special meetings was left with the
executive committee. Efforts will
be made to increase the interest in
the organization by having lectures
delivered on the subject. 1t will
also be discussed in some of the
pulDitS,

FOR AN OPEN RIVER.
An Opportunity for Salem 10 do Some
thing-NOt TO interfere With ln-
dependent Boat.


f. w. Hadley, general manager
of the Oregon Pacific Co. was in
Salem today and was called on by
JOURNAL reporter who questioned
hum in regard to the rumor about
the proposition talked of 10y that
company to improve the Willamette
river between Salem and Portland
He stated that the matter had
been talked of in an informal man
ner by Mr.. Hogue and himself, and
plans were about as follows: The
Oregon Pacific Co. will give freight
tickets at schedule rates, for all
money advanced by the people of
Salem. This money to be used in
improving the river between this
city and Oregon City. If the citi-
zens will do that they will run one
of their boats all summer.
In this manner Salem would hC
out nothing and could thus obtain
an open river. AS soon as the rivel
gets low they would put one oftheiI
boats to work cleaning out ant
deepening the channel and have
another make regular trips to Salem
This scheme need not necessarily
interfere with the Independent boa
owned by Salem men. In fact
would insure the boat to run all th
year. There Is material in this sub
ject worthy of the attention of tn
board of trade. Let steps be take
at once to have an open river.

CITY FOR HOMES.
Why Salem Must Lead the Valley
Cilies-A Few Of Her Ad-
Vautages,

When Oregon was territory and
towns were just starting Salem had
many rivals. In the last quarter Of
a century she has passed far beyond
any of the valley towns. Albany is
the only city that has kept within
hailing distance in the line Of pro-
gress. Salem so far out stripped
Albany in early days as to get the
capital. AS city for homes she is
unexcelled. No other city in the
northwest can boast of as many at
fractions aud natural advantages.
Salem is geographically in the CEN
ter of the Willamette valley, not so
near the head of the river as to be
above navigation and not too near
the mouth as to be away from the
center of the great productive region
of Oregon. The city is proud of the
stately public buildings, her fine
educational advantages and her fine
lawns and beautiful homes. Salem
does not only boast of the fine pros
pective homes, but of those she now
has. There are already handsome
supply of "nest eggs" to give induce
ments to others too settle in Salem.
The pioneers, who laid out the
first lots in Salem, had the idea of a
home city vividly before them. The
lots were not cut up so small as tc
he only large enough to contain 8
house, but room was given for 9
lawn with all lots sold. The streets
were also made wide and with du,
regard TO the lay of the land anC
surrounding scenery. An eight acr'
park was left in the heart of thu
citv, which in time will be grea
resort. Amidst the great expenses
to a growing city, this tract has beei
neglected; it will only require a few
wears for it to be made beautiful
place with fountains and arbors.
Statistics of last year show tina
twice as much was expended ii
building in Salem than in any othe
city in the valley, or In the state ou
side of Portland. This year will ia
= surpass last year in improvements
