The county clerk has received

Mrs. II. L. Lambert, ofYaquina,
has been appointed agent for the

thing in that line will do we'll to
call on or address her.
Sigfried Theiler has been duly
started on the road TO American
citizenship, having renounced all
allegiance to all foreign prince,
Potcntate, state or sovereignty,

The regular passenger train will
be put back Oh the road next Mon

better train service. Receiver
Clark finds that the BUSINESS will
warrant the running of such a train
and will keep abreast of the de-
nands of tie travelling public.

The orchard of the Yaquina fruit
company at Nashville is doing re-
markably well this year and makes
a good showing to the passers by
on the railroad Most Of the trees
are now in their third year and
some of them are beginning to
bear. 1t is not the intention to let
the prunes come into full bearing
for two years yet. The orchard
appears to be we'll managed and
we'll kept, and shows that managers
Of the same are practical fruit men.
The Salem Journal is filling its
soul with sorrow because Col. y.
| Jay Buford, Of this county, has been
appointed farmer at the state re-
form school, and slops over with
columns of type about it, and
mourns and will not be comforted.
It says that there are plenty of re-
publican farmers in Marion county
that might have been appointed
who are practical farmers. The
trouble with the Journal is that it
is too narrow and bigoted to see be-
yond the narrow confines of Salem
and Marion county. 1t thinks that
within these borders lie all of Ore
gon, and that it should have all the
state institutions, all the state ap-
pointments and all the state pap Of
every description, and sets up a
mournful wall if any other part of
the state gets anything. The Jour
NAILS spasm of reform in the Buford
case would be more marked were it
not known that the Journal is the
most plant tool of the state house
ring, and it only squeals when the
teat is taken from its mouth. Bu-
ford may not have spent his life on
the farm as practical farmer, but
neither did the appointee whom he
succeeded, nor will the one who
will follow after. Practical farm
ers are scarcely ever rewarded in
practical politics, and no one knows
this any better than the Journal ed
itor. Buford's appointment was
no doubt reward for political work
and so is every other appointment
in the institution from Superinten-
dent Hendrix down, and Mr.. Btu
ford's appointment is just as fit as
any the rest of them, and the Jour
nal swallows them because they are
all from Salem, with but one ex-
ception. The howl of the Journal
only indicates that the Journal had
q pet for the same position who
failed to get appointed.
