Look Out, Boys.

Two responsible citizens came to Re.
corder Judah this morning TO complain
OF the actions OF two young boys whose
names will not at present be published.
The gentlemen had suffered shock
to even their modesty from listening to
the frightful language used on the
street by the two boys in question, who
had been very abusive and foul-mouthed
addressing theirremarks to young lady
who was passing. There is an ordinance
covering such oifenses against public
decency, and the Recorder will not hes.
itate to have offenders brought before
him and severely punished. In this case
he has seen the parents of the boys,
who much chagrinned over the affair,
and will probably ATTEND to" the
youngsters, themselver.

culty that the firemen saved the other
warehouses in the vicinity. The fire
buaned fiercely all day and it was late

burned out. Several engines will be

night, to prevent the fire from spread.

Conclusion Reached by the Pilgrim

brotherhood Last Evening.
The question for discussion at last
nights meeting Of the Pilgrim Rrother-
hood in the parlors of the Congrega-
tional church was "What is the Moral
Effect of the Press Today"
The speakers taking part in the dis
cussion were. Prof. Collier, G. NJ Pow
ers, w. g. .Kantner, Gid Sherwood, A.
w, Dennis and John Bayne.
The concensus Of opinion was, that
with few exceptions, the moral in
fluence OF the press is good, and it was
urged that on the principle that you
can't spoil a rotten egg, even the
yellow journals do not greatly harm
those who patronize them.
The interesting fact was brought out
that, of $4,000 newspapers and maya
zines published in the world 43 per cent
are published in this country.
At the next meeting on the evening oI
February the IL, the question is "What
Should the Government Do for the Un'
emplOped? The discussion will be led
by A. w. Dennis and G. NJ. Powers.

Hon. w. II. Hobson Has Invested in
sumpter. But Will Not Leave Here.
From the fact that Hon. W. II. Hob.
son. OF this city, has invested some
money in business in sumpter, II has
been inferred that he intended to close
up his business here and leave Salem.
This is a mistake. Mr.. IIobson says
that he has no intention of leaving this
place, but on the contrary, will stay
here, and will soon have in a lot Of new
goods and replenish his stock in all
lines.
He has bought out a grocery and
miners supply business in Sumpter,
and will run that as an entirely separate
venture.
He says that Sumpter is one Of the
liveliest towns IN Oregon now, and has
the assurance OF being agood business
point for a number of years.
The present boom there is being some
what over-done, but when that. is over
the mining industry will still make good
business for many years.
Concerning the business purchase
made there the Sumpter Miner says:
"W. G. Calder who has 80 successfully
conducted the general merchandise bus.

1899, building II up from a small country

them could be described as new wonders

The railway built over the famous White
pass, the gateway to the KloaGike, during
the summer of 1898 was marvel of engi-
neering skill 1t Is known as tho White
Pass & Yukon railway, and commences at
Skaguay. There Is a railway journey Of
twenty miles till the summit of the pass
is reached, over 1900 feet above the level
of the sea. An interesting fact about this
unique railway was the quick time IN
which it was built, During the latter part
of the summer of 1898 two shifts of men
were employed on the line, and on Feb.
20, 1899, the first passenger train steam

WONDERFUL ENGINEERING
The recent construction of a railway
from Mollendo, a port on the Pacific side
of South America, to Puno, on Lake Titi-

engineering feat. Lake Titicaca is the
highest known navigable lake I'm the
world, being about 1900 feet above the

Andes in Peru. From a geological point
OF view ii is the most marvellous lake
yet discovered.
