THE BUILDING RECORD.
salem Making Healthy Record of
GrOWIh in a Dull Seasan.


The brick yards about Salem can
not supply brick fast enough.
Three new lumber yards were es-
tablished this year.
Seven brick stores are half com.
pleted, and parties are auxiously
looking for sites to erect mercantile
property on our business streets. A
dozen business men are waiting to
get into business sites on CONNER.
cial, State and Court streets.
Travellers who go to any of the
adjoining valley counties or cities
come back delighted with Salem
and Marion county. None of our
neighbors beat us, and the capital
city and old Marion county, have
crops, prosperity, life and progress
attained by no other section.
All over Marion county there are
new farms opening, new houses
building, towns growing, and the
county seat-Salem, the Bouquet
City of the Willamette Valley is
spreading in every direction.
HOW WE GROW.
Twenty new houses are going up
in North Salem.
Twenty. five new house are build
ing in East Salem.
Thirty houses are going up in
Yew Park and University addition.
Twenty new cottages are building
in Capital Park addition and South
of Mill creek, east of the railroad.
Twenty new houses are building
in South Salem.
In the old part of the city a num-
ber of residences are going up, cost
ing from $4,000 to $1,000 each.
If our city government can size up
the street improvement properly,
the second half of 1891 will herald
an era of improvement such AS Salem
has never seen.

UNFORTUNATE WOMAN.
An Aged Mother and Daughter Com
mittcd TO the Asylum.

The saddest case of insanity on
record has just been committed to
the hospital for the insane at Salem.
Sheriff Matt Scott, of Linn county,
brught down two crazy women
after the JOURNAL went to press
Wednesday, Rebecca IF. Jones and
her daughter Sarah Jones. The
mother is aged 20, has had cOntinu-
ous attacks for several years, uses
proiane language and has destruc-
tive aud homocidal inclinations. The
sad condition of the women being
hereditary. They are natives of
Maryland and Virginia. The daugh-
ter is 81 years old. An effort was
made to commit them to the asylum
year ago, but it was unsatisfactory.
Declining reason has made it neces-
sary now to protect their families
and neighbors.

where the good old custom of keeping
open house on New Years day was
maintained yesterday was the central
police station, yulgarly termed the
lookup. Capt.Dan Day was Oh hand all
day to greet callers and welcome them
to the hospitality of the city. In the
morning he was assisted by Peter Brad
ley and James Novock, and in the after
noon Albert Needhan and Peter Fox
assisted in receiving callers. Some OF
the callers had visited other places be-
fore coming around to greet the cap
tain, and when they had reached the
station felt as if they were weighted in
the great race of life. All such were
kindly taken in charge and provided
with lodging and supper. Judge Ma

HUMAN SKULL OF IRON.

Remarkable AnthropologicalC Cur
iosity Lodged at the Smith
sOnian.
Washington Star.
A human skull of iron! Not one
made by artifice, remember, but so
constructed by nature. What could be
more wonderful?
An anthropological expert showed the
specimen at the Smithsonian yesterday,
though it has not been placed on exhi-
btiOn. The skull, which was once upon
a time like any other skull, is imbedded
i'm mass of iron ore. Nature origin
ally inclosed it in that way by an acct
dent, and gradually, in the course of
centuries, particles of the metal took
the places of particles of bone, until at
length the skull was no longer bone,
but iron. Its structure i'll the iron is
perfect in every detail, save that the top
of the head and the lower jaw are miss
ing.
When it is considered how many
thousands of years must have been re-
quired to produce such curiosity some
faint notion is conveyed of the anti
guilty of man. Near by is big piece Of
solid limestone rock, incasing as if a
portion of itself, the upper part of a
human skeleton! In the surface of the
stone, mbedded, is visible the back
bone of man-perhaps a woman-so
that one can see distinct vertebr8,
while on either side of the spinal col
umn are revealed the ribs. What ages
must have passed before the processes
by which this oseous relic of bygone
epoch was thus inclosed had time to
accomplish such work.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Mckee Rankin and his company come
to the Lyceum next week, opening Mon
day night with a production of his new
Omedy called The Canuck." The
title does not definitely explain what it
is, as it suggests a play of Canadian
origin, while it is in reality an American
comedy, with the central character as
one Of those romantic types called the
"habtant," that is met with along the
Canadian border. His performance is
one OF unusual interest, as it introduces
a character heretofore never pictured
on the stage. Mr.. Rankin's performance
is that of the Professionalism. and
should prove a most successful one, as
his early life was spent among that
class of people. His company is the
same that assisted HIM during the
metropolitan run of the play.
Two immense audiences visited the
popular Pence yesterday, and the
Rentz-Santley company kept them IN
great good humor. AS the engagement
draws to close business is increasing,
if that is possible, and many seats are
sold for tonight.
Commencing next Monday the How
ard Big Burlesque company, headed by
May Howard, will he at the Pence for Il
week. Seats are now OIL sale.
