about the rates being charged, by rca-
son OF which great many Polk
county people refuse TO come TO the
city with their, teams prclerriug to
transport theirproduce across the big
bridge via the vueclbarrow route.
When it is remembered the charges
on the ferry are the same as were
heretofore charged, it will not seem 50
outrageous. Being accustomed to

Notice.

Commencing with July ], shall do
Il strictly cash business. No goods
will be charged after that date. The
impoSsibility of collecting most ac-
counts when due coupled with the
fact that drygoods are now sold at
such very close prices, induces me to
change to the cash system. My goods
will be marked so low, that the prices
will not fail to attract all cash buyers.
With the extremely low prices that
will now prevail in my establishment

business.

Z New straw yerlL.

In the spring Of 1896 Senator Me
Bride sent the editor Of the JduBEAL
very rare new kind of strawberry
and as we did not see it in the catu-
logs anywhere we decided to propa-
gate it and test t. 1T originated in
Tennessee and was named i'm honor
Of that state and promises to be
worthy of the name. From the dozen
plants we secured 300 and set them
out in the spring. The berries were
medium carly and Of very fine quality.
The fruit is in flayor about half way
betweet the SharpleSs and Wilson,
being more acid and hrmer than the
former and sWeeter than the latter.
The berries grow on a shorter stem
than the SharplesS and hence not eX-
posed to early frostS. The shape is a
perfect heart form and very regu-
lar, the berries growing mostly of a
medium size and hense eXcellently
adapted for the market. But the
point wherein they excel all berries
we have ever seen grown in Oregon is
in color-being most brilliant deep
scarlet all over. Strawberry growers
wishing to see the Tennessees, are in
vted to visit the editors spud farm
near the Lincoln school, 5000 plants
for sale this fall.

Bridge Repairs.


The work OF repairing the big
bridge is progressing quite rapidly.
All the planking oyer the two main
spans has been removed, as have also
the old and slightly rotted stringers.
The new lumber is beginning TO ar
rive, and the work Of replanking the
structure will 5000 begin Workmen
today began the work Of Tightening
up the bolts, aud otherwise making
the superStructure more compact.
The work OF painting the piers and
iron work began this morning and the
work is being rapidly pushed to com.
pletion.
That part Of the bridge used by
pedestrians is being largely patrOnized
while the repairs are progressing.
Polk county residents, who do not
feel able to pay the necessary 80 cents
for transportation across the river via
the ferry, hitch their teams at the
Polk county approach, and with
wheel-bOrrOws, etc, bring their pro-
duce to the Salem market.
The bridge preparing, especially at
this season of the year, is working
not only hardship on the Salem
business men, whose business is
largely maintained by Polk county
patronage, but also on the farmer and
fruit raiser, who resides across the
river. But it is necessary that the
repairs be made during the low water
season, when they can be advantage
ously done

Snoring and Divorce.

Nashville Banner: When will the
curtailment of personal privileges
cease? Here comes a Kansas woman
and prays that her connubial ties be
severed, on the ground that her liege
lord is a chronic snorer. The petition
sets forth that she has vainly applied
ali the tortuous remedies recommended
in such cases. even that of binding to-
gether his jaws. What agOnies she
inflicted on that poor, prosecuted sleep
er only the Imagination can suggest.
If sleep be an inherent propinquity of
man, and snoring natural and not an
acquired accessory to the fact, what
court would deprive a family of its
head and front on such an issue?
There are people who pronounce Snor-
ing detestable and praise the bass
CALCULATIONS of midnight frog. Snor-
ing may have its disadvantages, but
there is evidently a luxury in it TO the
snorcr which should not be lightly
dealt with.

ALL FEATURES MASSED
Continued from Page p

they made the weary journey across
the deserts and the mountains in a
train, of which this was counterpart.
There were 20 or so Of the old canvas
covered wagons IL line, and as the pro-
cession moved by it seemed impossible
to imagine that all the surrounding
evidences of progress and prosperity
which were so abundant everywhere,
had their origin in a source similar to
the delapitated old wagons and trap
pings which were passing in review.
Pioneers themselves, some of them
women, drove several of the wagons,
and a half dozen old and young faces
were peeping out of the curtains and
all the people with the wagons were
dressed appropriately in pioneer garb.
Old Stovepipes protruded from the roofs
or hung to the sides. Old plows, era
dies, scythes and all kinds of old farm
implements were in evidence, and pens
and coops, containing pigs and chick
ems, were fastened underneath the
wagons. One wagon was drawn by a
COW and a mule hitched together, and
another wagon had lost a wheel and
one side of it was held UP by fence
rail. The crowds never tired of look
ing at the train and taking in every
detail. 1t would be difficult to imagine
a more complete and successful repre-
Sentation than this was.
The train was the end of the dis
tinctive pioneer feature of the parade.
The other two divisions were repro
auctions of the parades of Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday and all the
beautiful features of the pageant of
progress, the childrens floats, the illu-
minated parade and the county floats
were seen again and appreciated just
as much as they were on their first
presentation. The floats of the pageant
of progress and the Illuminated parade
were in one division, and those of the
children's parade and the county pa
rade were in the other. A large num-
Der of private floats also followed the
regular procession. The parade was
one hour and half in passing the
tribunes, and nearly four hours were
consumed between the start of the
procession and the time that the last
float reached the point where the pa
rade disbanded. It was rather a
weary march, particularly for many of
the children Who were on the floats.
but everyone who had anything to do
with the parade entered into it with
zest and spirit, and a determination to
make the affair the splendid success
that it proved to be, and something
which will always live in the memo
rieS of everyone who saw it.
