events upon which Sam Houston's fame
must rest? For the millions who could tell
YOU something about the town of Houston,
Tex, there are only hundreds who know
more than the name Of. the hero after whom
the town is called.
Eight or nine years ago the Stae Of
Texas erected on the spot where the battle
of San Jacinto was fought and Texas made
free, a monument which is chiefly in MEM
ory of General Houston. There is no more
romantic figure than General Houston in
American history, whether you take him as
the pioneer living with the Cherokees in
the woods of Tennessee, as the soldier earn
ing the praise of General jackson for his
reckless bravery in battle with the Greeks,
as the Governor of Tennessee, who laid
down all his honor and fed from the sight
of man because he found his wife had only
married him through filial duty and he felt
he must release her. as the man who went to
Texas when she cried for freedom, cut from
her the Mexican bonds and established the
Republic of Texas, or as the man who
brought the Republic into the United States,
and who, when the crucial moment came,
preferred the Union to his State, and cried
as the roar of the cannon announced the
secession of Texas, "My heart is brokenp'
Pioneer, lawyer, soldier. stateslpan and
patriot, he is a good example of the Amer
leans who built the first story of this great
country. 1t is rather hard to realize that
it is little more than 30 years since Houston
played such great part in bringing into
the Union slice of territory equal at the
time to one-third of the United States. IF
a monument in Washington-a statue of
Houston-should only keep us from for
getting how our magnificent heritage was
won, it were we'll to erect it.

The Story of sam Houston's Sacrifice.


The separation of General Houston and
his wife, to which allusion is made above,
created tremendous sensation at the time.
Geueral Houston was Governor of Tennes.
see when he married Miss Eliza II. Allen, a
lady of distinguished lineage in that State.
This was in January, 1929, and in the fol-
lowing April just as he was entering upon a
campaign for second term as Governor, he
suddenly left home in disguise and disap-
peared from his friends for months Why
he re!inquished his Office and his home to
make his abode with a Cherokee chieftain,
whose friendship he had won in his youth,
General Houston never explained to the
world. All sorts of odd and disgraceful
reasons for the act were assigned at the
time, but Mrs. Houston contented herself
with a divorce upon the ground of deser-
tion.
Years after General Houston confded to
his second wife the secret of his first failure
in matrimony. He said that during the
honeymoon he noticed that his bride ap-
peared to be in low spirits, and after much
pressing confessed THAT she had married the
General to please her father, while another
man had her heart. To man of Houston's
mold to hold her to her promise was i'm
possible. and with singular nobility he gave
his wife her freedom and took upon himself
the odium. She afterward married the man
OF her choice.

CUT DOWN THE HILL.
And Build the Yiaduct Before the
Railroad is Extended
South.

Conversations with many leading
business men of Salem show that it
is not desirable to allow the Electric
Railroad company to build another
trestle across South Mill creek. One
large property owner is also strongly
opposed TO allowing the road to put
its line down before the hill is cut
down. He says: ITO pull the cars
up and dewn the bill will be con-
slant source OF expense, and some
danger. 1t viii make travel slower
and the hill is needed to fill the
creek bed if a bridge is built. The
fill could be made very cheaply and
it should be done. Another heavy
taxpayer expressed himself 20 this
effect:
1.-TWO things that should not be
done-the electric railroad should
not be allowed to build trestle nor
run its line over the hOgback on
South Commercial street. The VIA
duct should be built and the bill cut
down before the line is put through
and perman nently mars the
beauty of what should be Salem's
leading commercial thOroughfare.
South Commercial street if levelled
down TO a reasonable grade will
eventually become good business

BUNCOED. The fool killer needs
tpstrike the man mentioned in the
following: Morris Peyser, former
merchant of Port Townsend, un-
doubtedly thinks it is. Some time
ago he fell in love with ack-eyed
jewish maiden in Southern Califor-
MIA, who at first was not inclined to
favor his suit, but finally cspltulated.
On his wedding day he presented
bis father in-law with certified
check for $1,000, and it is thought
this had great deal to do with the
young lady's acquiescence. They
went on short bridal tour, and on
their return the witching damsel
persuaded her infatuated lord and
master to transfer his Port Town
send store over to bis loved father
in-law. The old folks allowed the
young people to live in their San
Francisco residence, and they came
to Port Townsend. The first thing
done was to bounce Peyser's brother,
whom Morris had left in charge,
from the store, and th4n Coleman,
the father-in-law wired his daughter
To leave her lord and fly to the arms
of her parents. She flew. Now
Morris has commenced suit for
divorce and to annul the transfer of
the property.-Albany Democrat,

property. The interest Of the rail
road company would seem to be
identical with the clty in this re
spect. There are already several
stores on South Commercial street
and it is the true interest of all
South Salem property owners to
have the bill cut down"
The JOURNAL believes the whole
improvement of viaduct and cutting
the hill down is within the reach of
the present city government, end
would be the means of giving en-
ployinent to labor which is sorely
needed. The proper committee of
the city council should be asked to
take hold of the movement.

OREGON AT CHICAGO.
What Sup'. McElrOy is Doing Towards
an Exhibit at the Worlds
Fair.

At least one state official is be-
stirring himself to secure for Oregon
that representation which should be
her share in the glories of the Pa
cific northwest to be revealed to the
gaze of the world in 1898.
Supt. e. B. McElroy does not pro-
pose Oregon shall be entirely left as
tail Lender in the procession of states,
aud expressed himself to u JOURNAL
report .r as follows:
EDUCATIONAL INTERESTS.
"The question: Shall Oregon's
educational interests be repre-
sented at the great Columbian exno-
sitiun to br held at Chicago in 1873,
Or, shal! we, the teachers Of the
state, Qike some ether departments
and resources we might nlentinn)
continue to snooZe and doze and
doze until we really fall in complete
state of iunocu0us desuetude, from
which nothing can arouse us except
it be the blast of Gabriel's trumpet
in the end i? Or, shall we go to
work and advocate and help pre-
pare an educational exhibit for
presentation at Chicago in 1885,
an exhibit of which we shall not
feel ashamed ?' Tie proftsso was
plainly warming up to the subject.
Every person with whom L haye
talked is expecting to go to Chicago
in 1893. Well how shall we all feel
when we do get there, and every
other state and territory represented
except Oregon ? How will we feel
and what shall we say, when the
stirring and active teacher from
California, with the golden badge
pinned to his breast, walks up to us
and says-'I'm from the active,
enterprising, living, golden state of
California-where are you from ?
Come over to our California head
quarters and have some of our figs,
oranges and peanuts until you can't
rest p
"Under such circumstances, we
shall probably feel like "a bound boy
at husking,' or, that we must seek
for happiness in some other world"
THE JOURNAL is glad to know
that the prospects for good exhibit
are now favorable and that our state
will be represented. State Supt.
M 'Elroy has already taken steps in
this direction and we are certain
that the work will be effectually
prosecuted to successful end. We
have requested Supt. McElroy, to
send us all recent correspondence
relative to this important subject.
Marion county is distned to play
an important part in an Oregon ex-
hibit and her delegation to the next
legislature should ne made up largely
of the class of men who have this
matter at healt and have the dis
interested zeal to emphasize the i'm
portance of the matter so as to secure
proper legislation.

" YORK IN THE CHURCHES.
acknowledgements Annual Meet
img-New Unitarian Church
at Albany.
BAPTIST.

DAH
The revival meetings at the Bap.
list church are attracting great in
terest, and the nightly attendance is
large. There have been a number
of accessions and many inqu ring
souls are on the way to conversion.
PRESBYTERIAN.
The annual meeting of the Pres
byterian church was held last even
ing, with very good attendance
and very encouraging reports. Il.
c. Albert was elected elder in place
of J. w. Crawford, and Mr.. Albert
Grilley was chosen rs trustee vice
Mr.. Ladue, whose time had expired.
The church has tiourished in every
department during the year, About
sixty members had been received
the income met the expenditure.
The Sabbath school has larger
number in attendance than ever be
fore.
The senior and junior Christian
Endeavor societies are thriving,
having had many accessions during
the past year.
The Ladies' Aid society reported
s643 in the treasury, having made
over 5000 by their earnest work.
The PASTORS aid had done good
spiritual work, the fruit of which is
seen in the increased Sabbath con-
gregations.
The Ladies' Missionary society Ie-
ported through their excellent Sec
,retary, Mrs. Ladue, that they had
received and expended in missions
$l44.
Even the Gospel Bells, composed
of the very young girls of the church,
reported having $25 in hand after
having paid $40 toward support of a
foreign missionary.
REVIEW OF YEAR.
The church sustained severe losses
in removal of many of its supporters.
Among the number were j. w.
Crawford and family who have
removed to the Umatilla agency.
Death claimed one of the most use
ful and liberal members in the per-
son of r.. s. Wallace, but those who
mourn his loss have the consolation
of knowing that their loss proved his
eternal gain.
A very ripe Christian passed away
when, whom all delighted to call,
Aunty McFadden, died. The
church is advancing with other
enterprises in Salem and it is be-
lieved that the Presbyterian church
is entering upon the most successful
year of its history.
ALBANY UNIVERSALISTs.
The handsome and commodious
church edifice, erected by the munif-
icence of A. Pearce, Esq, one of the
substantial citizens of Albany, and
