The Eugene Register man says the
ordinance TO grant doctors and on
C ials exclusive use Of side walks has
not yet passed. 1t also says: "If II
had, criticism on such subject
comes with poor grace from town
which permits bicyclsts to run down
any and all sides of its principal bust
ness streets. Salem's busy pedestrl-
ans on State and Commercial streets
are kept dodgiDg to avoid the wheels
which have full sway in the Capital
City. How is that for class legisla.
tion ?" Well, you are not on to Sa-
lem bicycle legislation: Salem has
the most sensible ordinance and best
protection to pedestrians OF any city
in Oregon.
OF all the excuses given for carrying

A Salem business woman thought
Salem was NOT good enough a town,

The Jefferson Review says Of Gov.
Fletcher's lecture: The audience
was fair sized, but should the Gov.
favor us with another visit, the hall
would not hold the people. We opine,
however, that the Cows alleged fond
ness for farm work is similar to that
of the Irishman, who said he only
worked because it was so much fun to
quit.

NAL is Chamber of Commerce ed

The Salem Humane Society needs
revival. Where is the minister who
will give it lift ? It's moral prop
osition. There's no politics in it. 1t
is work, too, that is just about as apt
to be rewarded in the next world as
long prayers for spiritual power, etc.
There are not quite intidels enough In
Salem to keep up the Humane society
work. A little Christian help Is
needed.
OMr, A. Bush is happy to think that
a few of his pet quails and Chinese
pheasants have escaped the pot hunt
ers.
Prof. Fleck, the Austrian pianist OF
Willamette University, would not
play at Corvallis because the instru-
ment was not tirst-class. That's right
a first-class man should not be asked
to thump wagon-box.
Monday was the last day on which
the Chinese pheasant can be sold In
the open mrrket, but the bird is not
yet out OF danger.
Profs. Heritage and Fleck, OF the
Willamette Conservatory of Music,
were announced to give concert In
Corvallis last Friday evening. A big
crowd was present, and the Profs.
we're there; but when Prof. Fleck
touched the piano, he found that it
was regular old tin pan-he had not
taken the pains to test it before hand
and he absolutely refused to perform
on it. AS it was too late TO get an
other the concert was postponed un-
til next Saturday evening and the
tickets returned.-AlbaDy Democrat.
