years of age, though he looks five years

J. b. T. TUTHILL,
Analytical Chemist and Assayer.

]. b. T. Tuthill was born in Cali
fornia, but studied chemistry at Har-
ward college, and assaying at the Uni
versity of Technology, in Boston. Mr..
Tuthill established his assaying bust
ness in Salem about year ago His
laboratory and office are located on
the Salem Gas Co.'S ground, and his
equipment is thoroughly modern and
up-to-date. His ores for assay come
chiefly from the Santiam country; but
to an extent also from British Column
bia and Southern Oregon.
Time was, not so many years ago,
that mines were bought and sold with
out either the buyer or the seller hav-
ing any very clear conception of the
real value of the property. That is
now all changed, and mining has been
reduced to a more conservative basis.
In fact, so important has the verdict
Of the assayer become that it would
be difficult to decide whether, in a ma
jority of instances, the prospective
buyer or seller is the more anxious to
have the benefit of the testimony of
science.
Mr. Tuthill is also an expert ana
lytical chemist, and makes a speciality
of general chemical analysis. In this
connection it is interesting to state Mr..
Tuthlll is professor of chemistry in
the Willamette Medical college. His
skill both as chemist and assayer has
been amply attested by his excellent
patronage and the universal conf
dence with which he is consulted by
prominent mining men.
Mr.. Tuthill is also manager of the
Salem Gas Co. He is a live business
man and prominent citizen. He has
lived in Salem four years, during
which time he has firmly established
himself in business and his family in
Capital City social circles. He is pub
lie spirited in the best sense and a
pleasant and affable gentleman.

Union and Fusion
Vital Difference Between tine Two
Discussed.
BY David E. Sutt, Editor of the Bandon
Coos County Recorder.

There appears to be some confusion
in the minds Of the people as to what
IS meant by the proposed Union of the
reform forces in Oregon,
Many innOcently confound this move
ment with "fusion," as that term
has been used and understood hereto.
fore; while there are others, opposing
Union, who would make the move
ment unsightly in the eyes of those
Populists, Democrats and Free Silver
Republicans who are known to be un-
fayorable to "fusion,"
The difference between Union and
"fusiOn" is so wide, so marked and so
distinct, when the matter is given a
moments plain ana honest considera-
tiOn, that there will be few sincere
members Of either of the parties just
named who will not heartily and en-
Enthusiastically favor Union when diff
erence between it and "fusion" is
made known.
In the tlrst place, we haYe never be-
fore had a complete Union Of the re-
form forces in this state; nor it may
be, IN any other state. On the con-
trary, Oregon and many other states
have tried "fusion," and oftener than
otherwise, with disastrous results.
"Fusion" has been disastrous because
it was made at sacrifice of princi-
Piles for the spoils of Office alone.
In the case of "fusion" the "fusing"
held their separate conventions,
adopted their separate platforms. and
declared their separate principles,
which latter were frequently aJ Yari-
ehce with those Of the other party.
One party would name candidates
for an agreed portion of the offices,
with the understanding that the
other convention would endorse them;
THUS they would divide the offices be-
tween them-in other words, they
would divide the "spoils". This is
"fusion."
On the other hand, in the case OF
Union, there are no separate conven-
tions in the sense of "fusion;" there
are no separate platforms, and no va
rance between the aims, purposes OF
principles OF the three parties, for the
reason that the platform of the Union
party was made last June, by joint
| gathering Of POpulists, Democrats
and Free Silver Republicans, and an
invitation was extended to the re-
form forces Of the state TO come to-
gether in:support Of that platform and
which we feel sure, is model declar,
alton Of reform principles, and such
as every true Populist must heartily
endorse.
On this platform all Of the reform
forces OF the state may stand and
neither be jealous Of the others.

from 4S to 81 lamps, the number In

the business to verify them in every
particular. The foregoing figures
show that the city Of Vancouver is
paying directly and indirectly what
would amount to $40 per month for
1000 c. p. lamps all night service, OF
exactly the same figure that Salem Is
paying. But more than this, the city
of Vancouver has to stand the main
tenance, or wear and tear, on the prop
erty, as they lease the plant for q
twO-year term, and some of you may
have noticed an item in the Oregonian
recently showing some repairs that
would have to be made before the
lessees would renew their lease, which
is just expiring. These maintenance
charges wIil probably cost the city
SO per month per lamp over a period
OF years.

the facts, and all of The facts in each
and every case will show that the city
of Salem is getting its street lights at
IA very reasonable figure. There can
be no comparison made between Salem
and places where water power is
available, or other special conditions
exist, or where 100 to 200 lamps are
used, without taking into consideration

plants to be compared are being oper-
ated.

A number of COMMUNICATIONS from
various Northwest cities were read in
answer to inquiries recently sent out
by the recorder giving the cost OF
street lighting. In almost every case
the lighting was reported as costing
as much or more than the price paid
by this city. These, with the follow
ing communication from +. X. Anson,
were referred to the ways and means
committee;
TO the Honorable Mayor and Common
Council Salem, Oregon
Gentlemen: Apropos of the partial
investigation contemplated by the re-
Gently adopted resolution of Alderman
Smith, as to the prices paid for arc
street lighting by various towns and
cities in the Northwest, / beg to sub
init to you herewith a statement show
ing the prices paid for such lighting
by all the towns and cities in Oregon,
Washington and Idaho. This state
ment shows the number of lamps, the
power used and the price paid for: All
night service, 1000 C. p. lamps; all
night service, 1900 C. p. lamps; II
o'clocks service, 1000 C. p. lamps; II
o'clock service, 1900 C. p. lamps; moon
light schedule, 1000 C. p. lamps; moon
light schedule, 1900 C. p. lamps.
You will notice from the enclosed
statement that the average price paid

for 1000 c. D. lamps, all night service,
where steam power is made use of to
generate the current, is $10.4S per
month per lamp, while Salem, where
fuel is high, is only paying SO per
month. 1t will also be noticed that the
average price paid for 1000 c. p. lamps,
all night service, taking the whole
three states, including water-power
plants and all, is $685. per month.
| beg to call your attention to the
situation at the city of Vancouver,
Washington, which is frequently
quoted as paying 81 per month for arc
street lamps, while as a matter of fact,
the city owns the electric light plant
and made u failure running it, and
finally leased it to private parties

light schedule. The difference in can
die power would make 81 per month
additional as compared with 1000 c.
p. lamps. The difference in hours
operated would make SO per month
further difference as compared with
2000 C. p. lamps all night and every
night. Interest on $4,000 bonds at
per cent makes So per month per
lamp additional as the city of course
pays its interest. The loss of taxes

get, were the ownership vested in pri-

Wholesale and Retail Tailoring Agent.

or the business houses recently es-
taDlished i'll Salem, none is more con-
spicuously worthy OF favorable men
ton tAan the Wholesale and retail
tailoring agency which forms the sub
ject OF this sketch. H. s. Belle, one
Of the oldest merchants of Salem,
formerly conducted his agency for
Hart " Obernorf, of Chicago, in con-
neCuOn with the Palace Dry Goods &
Shoe Co., of which he was the found
er ana which he owned up to a short
time ago, when, his tailoring business
becoming Of such Importance, he sold
his store and stock, for the purpose
OF better handling his immense tailor
ing trade.
Mr.. Bellies business combines three
important agencies, viz: Hart & Obern-
dorf, tailors, of Chicago; Wilder Bros,
manufacturers Of shirts and under
wear, Lawrence, Kansas, and Pond
Rubber Co., Boston. AS agent for
Hart ~ OberndOrf, Mr.. Belle repre-
sents one of the largest tailoring es-
adjustments on the continent and car
ries a line of no less than 1000 sam
pies of the latest patterns IN suitings,
trouSerlngs, Vestings and oyercoatings.
AS agent for Wilder Bros, of Law

largest shirt and underwear manufac-
turers i'll the world and whose line
or samples includes every late novelty
and every variety of standard goods
Ihls hrm makes both ladies' anu gem

full line of samples for mackintoshes
and storm suits, for both sexes, and
takes orders for the same to be made
to measure.
Mr.. Bellies territory covers all of
Oregon and Washington, outside of
Portland and Puget sound. He keeps
man constantly on the road, and
guarantees fit and satisfaction in all
instances. When we consider the
wide range of stock from which selec-
tions may be made, and the fact that
prices quoted are very little higher,
II any, than those charged for ready
made clothing, We marvel that the
hand-me-down is worn to so great an
extent as it is A well known writer
once said: In spite of the great i'm
pr0Yement that has been made in the
last few years in the style and fit of
ready-made clothing, the well-dressed
man still continues TO submit TO the
mercy and whim of his tailor The

HARRITT & LAWRENCE,
Wholesale and Retail Grocers, POI
Commercial Street

In reviewing the business interests
of Salem, the writer has found many
gratifying evidences of the city's COM
merclal Importance; but in no instance
has this evidence been more marked
and convincing than in the character
and standing of those houses which
compose the grocer's trade. No bet
ter example of the leading Salem gro
Gerry store is presented to the mind
of the writer than the subject Of this
sketch.
The business now owned by the
firm of Harritt & Lawrence had its
beginning more than twenty years
ago, and first came into the possession
of a member of the present firm six
years ago, when Mr.. Harritt pur-
chased the business. Two years later
Mr.. Lawrence bought in, and the bus
mess has since been conducted by the
firm of Harritt & Lawrence.
The salesroom of the firm is located
at POI Commercial street, on the cor
ner of Commercial and Ferry. The
stock is very extensive, both as to
variety and quantity of goods carried
The specially of the house is choice
family groceries, including the best
brands Of canned and bottled goods,
imported teas and coffees, "Salem Spe-
cial' flour (the prize product of our
home mills), etc, etc.
While a casual observer would re-
ceive the impression that the firms
stock, as seen in the salesroom, is suf-
ficient to supply jobbing trade, a
glance at the firms warehouse plainly
shows that tho wholesale trade is very
large. The firm sells at wholesale
over a broad area, and purchases and
sells in carload lots. The retail trade
is designed to meet the city and coun-
try families. A wagon is run for de-
livery purposes, and a. very large city
trade is thus daily served.
j. w. Harritt is a native of Oregon,
and has lived in Salem six years. j.
NJ. Lawrence halls from the Empire
state" He has been West ten years,
and in Oregon about eight years.
Messrs. Harritt & Lawrence stand
high for commercial integrity.
