We concluded our three weeks visit
and left the City of Chicago with not a
few regrets. Mayor Carter Harrison
seems TO be making great success OF
his government. He was able 10 hold
the council with him and secure the re-
peal and defeat OF the fifty-year fran
chise law passed by the Republican leg
islature. He has boldly assaied the
corrupt connections between city gov
ernment and legislature, through
which the city machine gets charter
legislation that then gives the machine
political power, which il in turn uses TO
| feather its own nest. II he continues TO
deal successfully with municipal prob
lens lac will be a formidable rival #
Bryan's before the national convention.
Chicago seems 10 look well after her
commercial interests, and the taxpayer
is much better off there than in salem.
On about $1,000 property my father
pays less than Sl5 taxes. paid more
than that on a 81 800 property at the
capital Of Oregon. Water, gas and cleo
trio lights are cheaper in Chicago. !

DEPARTMENT STORES.
These wonderful attractions of large
city have reached the flower Of perfec-
tion in Chicago. An ordinary person is
simply lost In them and | was always
glad TO get out. Women seem 10 enjoy
them and always see something more
they would like. Most Of the clerks are
young boys or girls Of uncertain age,
working for low wages. They are not as
agreeable TO deal with as the clerks in
the Salem stores, and as rule the
prices are not cent lower. I bought

The farmers on the ella at solom-

something the matter With the river
water. There seems to be something
in 1t that kills the crops. Not knowing
who else to charge the trouble to they
came TO the conclusion that IT, was
caused by the acid from the teacher
at Clifton. Some time ago President
C0iQuhoun made a careful examlpa.
tion and had the water from several
different places In the river analyzed
and reported that the trouble was
caused by the alkali springs that came
into the river below Clifton, and said
that If any acid from the works went
into the river it would neutralize a
portion of the alkali and make the
water better. He said that as a mat

The Southern Pacific suffered last
week from something heretofore I'M
known in the southern county through
which the road runs, a June washout.
There was a cloud burst near Del Rio
last Thursday nlght and SOME twelve
miles Of track were washed out. All
the construction and repair forces on
the road between Ell Paso and New
Orleans were put to work replacing
the track, aud on Tuesday the first
train vas sen over the new track.
During the time the track was out all
passenger and p%erlshable freight was
sent over the Texas s. Pacific and
the rest of the freight was tied up
awaiting the repairs. The railroad
pile driver that is kept at Tucson was
sent down to the wreck on passenger
train time, and materially helped out,
1t returned through here wednesday
morning. The force atthis point had
an easy time Of it for a few days, but
after the track was opened they had
to make up for the easy time they had.

same story is told about an old citizen
named Collier. III sign the deed if you

of the retort. In Chicago this ingenious
bit Of financierng Is attributed to two
differing veterans, each of whom Is said
TO be the only original dollar man. In
both yarns the coveted bit of real estate
Is described as lying in what is now the
heart of the city and plenty of people
