To the Editor
So seldom do we see or hear anything
from this remote place, in relation to
the labors OF the Elders on these Is.
lands, that submit the following which
| trust will find space in the News for
publication.
The account OF Elder Andrew Jenson's
travels to these parts and elsewhere
will no doubt be read with interes, by
many, and his visit be greatly appTe-
ciated by the Elders and Saints through.
out the different missions. Much good
will surely result from his lAbors, not
alone in regard to the importance and
necessity Of keeping records correctly,
but his words OF counsel and encourage
ment will ever be remembered and
greatly aid the Elders In preparing Tor,
and presenting the labors which have
been assigned them.
At present there are two Elders labor.
ing in these island, viz, four here on the
TOngatabu group, four at Haapai and
wo at Vayau, the latter field having
been opened up recently. With the ex-
eeption OF Niuafoou and Niuatobu,abu
which lie TO the north between Vavau
and Samoa, all the Islands can be
reached quite easily from where we are
now located, which will thus enable US
to present before the people the Gospel
for their consideration.
The fruits OF our labors have not been
rerlzed to very great extent as yet,
It is true, but the Gospel must be
preached to all the world for witness,
and to aid In fulfilling this command we
are now engaged, trusting that some OF
the people may yet turn and share in
the great blessings promised unto them.

Yew Park Revival.

Old-time salvation has come to Sa-
lem! The power of God fell upon the
people last night and Israel got the
old-time shout upon her; some walked
the floor praising God, and one fell
under the divine power and lay pros
trate for nearly an hour. This proves
that Israel's God is still alive. These
brethren believe in full salvation and
preach the fourfold Gospel. They be-
lieYe that the death route is the only
way to glory. They do not try to
frighten the people into the kingdom
but they lead them by the way of
Sinai, showing the power Of the holy
ghost sent down from Heaven. Come
let us go up to the house of the Lord
and see for ourselves.

REPLACING
Head Gate in the Mill Race.
Property Owners Are Circulating a
Petition.

Under orders from the managers OF
the Salem FIGURING Mills, Contractor
G. +, Royal and a force OF men this
morning began the work of replacing
in North Mill race, the head-gate,
the property Of the mill company,
that was seriously damaged by the
high water during November. The
old head-gate was located in the race
just east of High street and was not
sufficiently strong to withstand the
pressure Of the immense volume of
water caused by the heavy rains.
Since the head-gate was carried away,
the water has greatly damaged both
banks for distance of nearly "A hun
dred feet below the point where it
was stationed.
A new head-gate ii being con-
structed at a point about 200 e, e; st
of the old one. AS loon as the water
can be shut off from the mill it
is the intention Of Contractor -, |
to hume the race for Il distlnrc (
several hundred feet bi low the -
gate so as to insure no furt her dun e
to the banks Of the race w'eu tie

water is again turned on. The aper-
ture in the north bank Of the race be-
tween High and Liberty streets Will
be damned up and the water will be
confined within the banks of the race.
1t will take several weeks to complete
the proposed Improvements.
The property owners liYingon north
Church and High streets in the vicln-
ity of the old head-gate and whose
property was damaged by the over
flowing Of the race last month, which
was undoubtedly caused by the pre-
sence of the head-gate, express them
selves as indignant at the course being
pursued by the mill company. They
assert that the money being spent in
replacing the head-gate and otherwise
repairing the ditch is useless expen-
deture as the mills, Brick mllls)
which are the only manufacturing
concernes.' depending on the race for
motive power, are closed and have
not been operated for several years
Petitions are being circulated among
the property owners and they are
being liberalley signed. The petitions
will be presented before the legisla-
ture this winter from which the pro-
pertV owners hope to obtain imme-
diate relief.

DISCRIMINATION
In Favor of the Railroads.,
How a Supreme Court Decision
Blocks the Work of Equalization,

While the papers are filling their
columns with the number of boneyard
mares and billygoats in Oregon, the
corporations are escaping their atten-
tiUn entirely. To read the OregUnian
and Statesman one would think there
was no such thing in existence as the
Southern Pacific Railroad. The fact
that its rOadbed is assessed at Sl7.-
40S.50 a mile the moment it's track
crosses the Oregon line would not be
published by those papers for ten dol
lars line.
The assessment of these Pacific
roads at $1,000 to $500 per mile in
Oregon is a farce. Jackson county
has heroically raised the assessment
to $10,000a mile, and the entire as
seSsment of the Southern Pacific rail-
rord should be raised to from $1,000 to
$4,000 mile at least.
THE DIFFICULTY
in the way of the board is that by
an Oregon supreme court decision the
roadbed of a railroad is classified as
real estate, and the law requires the
State Board to raise or lower values
by CLASSES SO much PERCENT
So in order TO lower Jackson county's
railroad assessment they must lower
ALL real estate with it. II they |
raise railroad assessments in other |
counties they must raise all other |
real estate assessments in the county. |
This difficulty makes it easy for the
railroad company to argue for reduc-
tionS, but it is very hard to get a
raise.
The whole matter will be argued
before the state board of equalization
on Saturday. The board may take it
into their heads to place a new con-
upon the law under which
they act, and carry a new case to the
court. AS 1T now stands this
rank injustice to all other property
interests in Oregon cannot be over
come.
The board will fiddle away on rails
ng or lowering billygoats' while
he Southern Pacific company
,ays about one-fourth the tax in Ore.

By the Salem Choral Society This
Evening.

Under the auspices of the Salem

Prof. Emil L. Winkler, the famous
yonng pianist, assisted by Miss Gene

and Mrs. Walter Reed, the noted alto,
haye been secured for the leading
parts. Prof. Heritage, with his SUI
perb bass voice, and II. G.. Kundret,

This is to be the greatest undertake
ing yet attempted by our Choral
society, which with its chorus of one
huudred voices, has made grand strides
under Prof. Heritage. Speaking of
their work, that gentleman says:
"The Choral society has very thor
oughly mastered the choruses and
with the delightful solos of Miss Bloch
and Mrs. Reed, the rendering of this
Oratorio will be enjoyed
by all, and will do much to encourage
good music in this state. Our people |
always patronize first-class entertain
ments,and especially home enterprise,

flowing"

CoRRECTION-It seems The JOUR-
NAL was misinformed in its issue of
Thursday in stating that John Green,
one Of the charges at the Chemawa
Indian Training school, had run away
from that institution. 1t appears
the boy had gone to, the steamboat
landing and being absent from the
school a little longer than seemed
necessary, some person furnished THE
JOURNAL with the information that
the boy had runaway from the school.
The'correction is gladly made out of
justice to the management of the
school and it might be well to state
that there has not been a single
escape from the school during the
administration of the present man
agement which has heretofore been
an almost weekly occurrence.
