MODERN IDEAS IN BUILDING
One OF the Most Important Things in
New House.

New House.
Although there has been some talk
Of depression, hard times, etc. the past
year, salem has not been slow in the
building line, There has been more
done Ia the matter of public building
the past twelve months than la any
former year since the state capitol Wac
erected. Aside from ibis there has
been great deal done Ia the way Of

sAorn.aru of s.ata Elect Kincaid.

Secretary of State Elect Kincaid'
Following are a few expressions OF
neIghbors Of Hon. Harrison r. kincaid
of Eugene, upon the occasion OF BIS
receiving the Republican nomination
for Secretary of State:
Hon. A. s. Patterson when called
upon told about the "days of '53' wheh
he and Klncaid first settled IN Lane
county. He said: III remember the
frat time ever saw Kincaid. think
Il wac in '53. He was driving two yoke
of cattle hitched to big wagon Ihe
wheel yoke was composed OF one
muley OK aud steer while the LEAD
woke was big COW and a steer. That's
the way Kincaid.came across the plains
IN '53. The next time l remember see
ing Kincaid he had taken up claim
or ranch In the brush or bills miles
southeast I, Eugene and he was maui
ing rails out of grub fir timber to fence
In his claim. Those fir grubs are tough
timber TO make rails out Of but Bincald
worked away until he had surrounded
his ranch with fence. l have met
him many times since and have seen
him as step by step he worked himself
up in the estimation of the people. AL
ways the same honest, industrious,
concientious, quiet citizen. L have no'
voted with the Republicans here of late
but I'm going to vote for Harrison II.
Rincaid for Secretary of State this
year."
Carey F. Martin, as a representative
of the younger blood IN the Republican
party, called attention to Mr.. Kincaid's
peculiar ability to solve correctly diff.
cult political problems and told about
how Mr., Kincaid had fought the repeal
of the mortgage tax law all the way
through the legislature. He had also
espoused the cause of the remonetiza-
ton of silver and bimetalism when The
question was first agitated l7years ago,
before any other paper in Oregon did,
and has followed it up vigorously ever
since, and now vast msjrrity Of the
people, including nearly all residing in
the west and south, agree with hin ,
thus endorsing and approving his judg.
ment and foresight in this as in many
other important matters. He paid 3
tribute to Mr.. Kincaid as pioneer and
to all the noble pioneers who came we, I
in an early day aud opened up tie
western empire that the oncoming gen.
Grafton might enjoy it.
Judge Walton, an ardent Democrat,
sat on the front seat and when calico
upon made very witty and pleasing
speech. He said he and Kincaid wenI
to college together and they had beer
friends for many years; that he had al
ways found Kincaid an exemplary citi.
zen and be therefore commended the
wise choice the Republican state con
vention had made.
Mr., Kincaid is veteran journalist
of Oregon, ana will take charge Of bis
Office as soon as the state Legislature
canyasses the vote on state officers
He received large vote beyond the
full strength Of the ticket.

Nothing Can Arrest the Capital
City.
STILL ENJOYS THE PROUD TITLE.
The Best Town in the Best State
On the Coast.

Salem Is a bright town with bright
mayor aud both have bright future
In letter 70 the editor Of THE JOUR
NAL while he was IN the East, Mayor
@ Itch expressed himself about SALEM
He referred TO the capital city OF ore
,on as "the best town In the best
county in the best state on the North
vest Pacific coast"
Those are three big BIS to claim for
any town, but they are surely true oi
Salem. IT II were not true Mayor
Catch would not say 80, because Salem
has a truthful mayor. Without boast
inl, Claud Catch comes pretty near
m .kiug the best mayor Salem has ever
had. He was reelected without oppo
sltlon because the people have found
him to be in all respects what he rep
resented himself To be.
s, then we have the best tOvn-that
is Salem, in the best county-that l.
Mar,ol, IN the best state-that Is Ore
o cgou, md the best mayor-that Is
dayor Catch, aud what more does any
me want!
prpOf2
Wei, that Il important. Not mer1
,ey so; but proof That we are pre-
pared tD do. Every page OF the New
YEARS JOURNAL will do that.
There Is no nse Of boasting about
salem being the county seat of the
Oest county and the capital Of the best
state. Some town has to be that. II
Is evidence Of being center Of popula-
tlon, center Of wealth aud influence.
The defective classes haye to be taken
care of somewhere. The asylums, re-
form school, penitentlaries, and legisla-
lures have TO assemble somewhere. 1t
Is something Salem can't help. But 1t
also has ils advantages. The past year
has been a dull one. There has not
been much building. Several hundred
thousand dollars appropriated for pub
lie buildings ut Salem has not been ex-
pended. II was just and proper not
10 do that. The buildings were not
needed. The tlmes were hard. Only
fSw improvements on puDlic lnstltu-
tlons, those that were absolutely re
quifed, were made; the rest were put
Oh 10 more favorable season.

ALL ABOUT OUR FRUIT PRODUCTS
The Advantages of Oregon Over
the World.

property owners, held to discuss the
emigration question, paper was read,
from which the following points are
taken:
"The value of our natural resources
needs to be brought forward in the
East, and the wonder Of our produc-
tlons. 1t should be shown that we
produce "a bushels of wheat per acre
on the average, while their average is
ten to fifteen bushels. The next prod
uct spoken of would naturally be the
other cereals, of course, and then our
mines, our salmon exports and fruits.
In Iowa they would have the poorest
state in the Union almost. If they did
not put their corn into varied uses,
when they cannot sell it to advantage;
but they feed it to hogs, and in Califor-
mia they feed figs and alfalfa to hogs,
and this is what we should do inOregon.
When it it does not pay to sell wheat,
put 1t into livestock.
"But our fruit industry has the great
est future. A careful, modest estimate
as made by Samuel A. Clarke, who has
given fruit culture much attention, is
that $50 to 500 an acre can be realized
from prune farm. There is one fiuit
that has always impressed me In Ole-
g)n, that is, the productiyeness of the
C lerry. question If there is, in any
pa t Of the world, a climate rivaling
Oregon in the production of the cherry.
There are trees IN Oregon that will pre-
duce ten bushels Of cherries.
"Sixty-four loJs could each eat
pint of cherries from It, aud it would
not be known that the tree bearing ten
bushels had been visited. Minute
cherries which they prize highly In the
East, we would not take the trouble TO
gather
"Then there are our apples ia the
Willamette valley, aud these orchards
can be taken care Of as cheaply, II not
cheaper, than they can take care of a
cornheld. The extreme climate IN the
East aud our wonderful contrast at
tracts great deal Of attention abroad.
Then we do not have those rapid
changes OF temperature, and this rec
ommends and attracts lnqulrers,
"our supply Of fruit will produce lts
own market, aud there Is no fear that
We viii oyerdo H. We can depend
upon Guit n this country aud the
world Is constantly asking for all We
