SALEM, Or, Oct. 3.-Practically all
of Salem's $4,000 of funding bonds
were AIKEN and paid for by the subcrib
ers yesterday. This bond issue is an
event in the history of Salem that will
be long remembered. At the beginning
of the year the outstanding city war
rants drawing s per cent interest
amounted, including interest, to about
s65,0O0. Last year it was proposed to
issue 4 per cent bonds for the purpose
of paying off the warrant indebtedness.
The movement met with bitter opposi.
ton from prominent business men,
but the friends of the funding PROPOSE
tion succeeded in getting a bonding
privilege clause in the new city charter
and latter in carrying bond election
Itwas then proposed to make the bond
issue popular loan" Prominent
business men predicted that the bonds
could not be sold locally, but the city
council went ahead with its project and
called for subscriptions from local in
vestors, announcing that small bidders
would be preferred. The WHIT ole amount
of the issue was subscribed in an
incredibly short time, and before the
lists were closed double the amount had
been subscribed. 9.ft., r.H. gqi 'f3i baa

A NEW MOTIVE POWER.

Mr.. Richard Croker the Leading spirit
in a compressed air motor company in
New York. is having an interesting con-
troversy with Mr.. George Gould. presi-
dent of the Manhattan Elevated Rail-
way Company. But Il is said that the con-
troversy with 6oud is not giving Mr.
Croker the most uneasy moments he is
having. There has appeared in the field
a new motive power, which threatens
very serious rivalry with Mr.. Croker's
compressed air apparatus, just as COM
pressed air was looked forward to to dis
place both steam and electricity. Mr..
Croker, 1t seems. thought that in COM
pressed air he had something with which
he could squeeze the other carrying cor
porations If he pleased, and appropriate
a very large part of the carrying business
to his own company The new agent gives
promise of being one which may squeeze
compressed air. If it should not chase il
out of the field.
For want of better name, the new agent
has been called Liquid steam" The pro-
cess. and apparatus have been patented
and a plant for the production Of liquid
steam is now in process of erection
in New York city. The pow
er. it is stated, will shortly
be experimental with on branch
of the New York Central Railroad, with a
view to adopting it on certain parts of that
road, and elsewhere. The apparatus and
patents of the inventor, according to the
information, make it possible to heat
water to at least 600 degrees, F., by
means of pressure In such manner that
the wafer is converted into vapor or steam,
but retains its fiuidity, and becomes,
for want of a better descriptive word,
liquid steam. If water thus heated is
permitted to flow into a cylinder the ex-
panslon is of much greater force and
swiftness than that which follows the in
lection of steam vapor into a cylinder. The
danger of explosion, 1t is claimed, is not
greater than in the use of steam or COM
pressed air, and the driving mechanism
for a car can be placed upon almost any
truck, in such small space that it would
hardly be noticed unless one searched for
it. II is believed that the first tests VIII
show the small motor capable of driving
an ordinary car at a rate of speed equal
to that of the best trolley service
Certain wealthy men. including Mr. VIII
liam C. Whitney and several capitalists
interested in the New York Central, are
said to be connected with the Sprague
company, which is the corporation that
controls the new motive power. II is claim
ed that certain apparatus of Mr.. Cookers
company is covered by patents owned by
the Sprague company. which will object
to its use by the compressed air concern.
The new power, it Is claimed, can be much
more cheaply employed than steam, cleo
tricHy or compressed air.

THE CANAL AND
BOUNDARY.

The meetings of the United States-Cana-
dian joint high commission we're the other
day adjourned for six months. At the
time it was suggested that the reasons the
commissioners had not been able to ad-
just any Of the differences between this
country and Canada and for the adjourn
ment for half a year of the commission,
were In the interest Of some larger nego-
tiations between the United States and
papers have been inclined to resent the
making Of the affairs of the Dominion sec
ondary. holding that Canadian questions
should have the first attention of the COM
mission which was created to deal with
points at issue between the United States
and Canada, and not with points at issue
between the United States and Great Bri-
tain.
In view Of recent utterances of the Lon
don Times. it requires no stretch Of i'm
agination to reach the conclusion that the
larger matters which are to receive the
attention of the British imperial govern
ment and the government at Washington
have to do with the Nicaragua canal, and
involve the abrogation Of the Clayton-Bul-
wer treaty. There is no reason, the Times
says, why the Two countries should not
come to an amicable understanding res
pecting the canal American interests in
the canal the Times is willing to admit,
"are vital" while those of Great Britain
are only very great" Sun, Great Britain
treaty rights are "undeniable and unas-
saiable." I'VE have got them, we have
paid for them, and we cannot be expected
to surrender them for nothing" says the
Times.
The paper, however, indicates Dat the
British government might consider a quid
pro quo for its treaty rights and conces-
sions. namely: THE open door to the Pa
cifc for our merchant ships in times of
peace and for our battle ships in times of
wars to which the United States were not
party. And we should ask no doubt, for
compensation of some kind elsewhere"
And just at this point is where the Cana
dian consideration comes in. One of the
hardest nuts for the joint high commits
sion to crack consists of an Alaska bound
airy dispute. 1t is probably that the con-
cession of slice of territory along the
Alaska frontier by the United States would
be regarded by Great Britain in the light
of being some other compensation else
where" In that event. the work Of the
joint high commission upon its reassem-
bling next summer. would be much smpli-
fed.

God of our fathers, known of old
Lord of our far-fiung battle line
Beneath Whose awful Hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
The tumult and the shouting dies
The Captains and the kings depart;
Still stands Thine ancient Sacrifice
An humble and a contrite heart
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet
Lest we .forget-lest we forget!
Far-called our naviss melt away
On dune and headlands sink the fire
Lo, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Niueveh and Tyre!
Judge of the Nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
If drunk with sight of power we loose
Wild tongues that have not Thee in

Such boastiug as the Gentiles use
Or lesser breeds without the Law
Lord God of Hosts, be With us yet,
Lest we forget--lest We forget!
For heather heart that puts her trust
In reeking tube and iron shard-
All valiant dust that builds on dust,
And guarding calls not Thee to guard
For frantic boast and foolish word,
Thy Mercy on Thy People, Lordl
Amen. --Rudyard Kipling.

The. secrecy with which poison can be
used appears to be making it a favorite
means for getting rid of an enemy. The
public Is familiar with the case of the two
women in Delaware who were killed by
means of poisoned candy sent them by
woman in California, and. more recently,
the killing of Henry c. Barnet and Mrs.
Adams in New York city by poison. The
other day the New York Herald contained
an account of the sending of poisoned can
dy 10 young woman in Brooklyn and, on
last Friday, il was stated in Pittsburg.
Pa, that an attempt had been made to
poison the three daughters of a man in
that city by means of poisoned candy. Is
murder by poison becoming epidemic?

ture of that state to see If ii contains four
Republicans who think enough of the well
fare of their people to vote for the re-

that some Of their number say that they

who is a man named Addicks. Addicks is
admitted to be an unfit man for the place.
but he has a grip on the state obtained
by spending his money freely for the bene-
fit of The Republican organization there.
Therefore the machine Republicans say
that he must have the senatorship if he
wants 1t, and that he does want il there
is no doubt.
People generally would like TO see Sena-
tor Gray reelected. 1t only needs four Re
publican votes 10 re-elect him, and there
are more than that number of Repubii-
cans in the legislature who will not vote
for Addicks. But these Republicans who
are opposed to Addcks viii not, for some
reason, vote for Gray. II seems they pre-
fer TO throw their votes away upon some
one who has no chance of being elected.
AS matter of fact they are narrow parti-
sans. They know there is no better man
in Delaware than Senator Gray; yet they
are such narrow partisans that they would
rather see an unfit man, such as Ad-
dicks is asserted to be, elected than cast
their votes for Democrat-and, that too,
although admitting that the candidate of
their party is so bad that they will not
vote for him Partisan politics makes good
men do some very queer things.

1t is interesting TO note how the states
gradually repudiahng the proposition, be-
foretimes held to be sacred by them, that
'all men are born free and equal" and
asserting a caste OF color and race. The
Indiana Senate has just passed, with prac-
marriage of white persons with persons
having more than one-eighth os negro
blood in their veins. Just how the pro-
portion of negro blood is to be ascer-
tanned is not quite clear, but presumably
there will be government inspectors with

When Pope was first introduced to Lord

change, the noble critic criticised this pas
sage and that word at frequent intervals.
The poet was stung with vexation. for the
parts that most pleased him were the
ones most criticised. AS nc returned home
with Sir Samuel Garth he revealed his
displeasure. oh" said Garth, you are
not acquainted with his loFdship: he must
criticise. At the next visit read him the
same passages and tell him you have OBJ
served his criticisms" Pope made use Of
this stratagem. Lord Halifax was delight
ed and exclaimed; Pope. they are now
inimltable!
