accident by hunter.
One of the great railway magnates
of the country who has just died in
New York, was native of Maine and
thus is added another name to the
long list of famous men Of the great
business world who first saw the light
in our own State. Charles Parsons
was a native of Alfred where he was
born Feb. 6, 1929. For Is years he was
constantly engaged in railway affairs
in New York, New Jersey and the
South. He was president of the old
New York and New England railroad
company from March, 1892, to 1898, and
it was he who turned the Rome, Wa
tertown and Ogdensburg company
from bankrupt condition into good
property and transferred it to the New
York Central interests. He was an
ingenious negOtiator and manager of
other large financial interests. Mr.
Parsons began business life as a ship
ping merchant in New Orleans. But
he also had many interests of other
sorts, for he was member of the New
York Historical Society, the American
Biographies Society, the New Eng
land Society of New York, and if he
had special concern outside of bust
ness it was that Of horticulture, and
he was one of the corporation of the
New York botanical gardens. Mr..
Parsons had beautiful summer home
at Crescent beach, Kennebunkport, and
his private car. The Wanderer, was
well known to the people of western
Maine, where, with his family he al
ways passed his summers. Only last
year Mr.. Parsons gave handsome
public library building to his native
town in memory of his parents.

Party Of Boys Near SilvertOn
Are Said to Have Started
the Fire

A story comes from Silverton
which, IL true. looks bad for the young
er generation, at least part of them
in that locality. A few days ago a
stranger was camped near the out
skirts of the town and had tied his
horses to the wagon for the night. A
party of boys maliciously set on FIRE
a small pile of hay, and the wagon
and harness were destroyed, together
with a number of camping utensils.
The horses were badly scorched, and
1t was only by hard work that they
were saved from incineration.
When J. d. Stevens, the Socialist
speaker was talking to a crowd on
the street the other evening, some
miscreant threw a tub of water out of
second story window, directly over
the speaker, and for time the people
swore vengeance. The officers are
working diligently on the case, but
have been unable to locate the guilty
parties.

THREE
GUESSING
CONTESTS
A Trip to st. Louis, A Bicycle
and a Book Case Free

The guessing and voting contest is
so popular in Salem since the great
success of The Journal Diamond
Guessing contest and others, that
there are now three such events open
to the people of this community at the
present time. JOS Meyers & Sons
are offering round trip visit free to
the st. Louis exposition to the most
popular young lady In fraternal, edu-
cational and other circles. Mr.. Rig
don, who has, by the way, developed
quite an industry in the manufacture
Of bamboo goods in Salem, Is exploit
ing the merits of those wares by offer
ing a fine piece of furniture to the
best guesser. Next the Capital Jour-
nal Is again Offering prize to the
best guesser. This time 1t is a new
coaster-brake bicycle, for lady or gen
tlemen, to the person who can guess
nearest to the population of Salem,
as revealed by the new official census
now being taken.
All these enterprises create inter
est in Salem. and bring people here
to trade, who would otherwise go else
where, and, while It is a good adver-
tisement for the individual firms
making these liberal offers, It is in the
interest of the town generally. The
Census Guessing Contest should stim-
ulate interest and pride in our city's
growth, and advertise the second city
OF Oregon all over the country. Watch
the announcements of these different
firms, and all be prepared to particI-
pate in them.

Butcher was Game.

One smart aleck, who had an over
supply of bug juice, had an experience
last evening in a local meat market
that he is not likely to forget for some
time. He walked into the shop while
the meat cutter was serving a lady
customer, and, without hesitation,
rested his hand on the woman, who
was a total stranger to him. The
butcher realized the situation in a
flash, and landed a short, straight
1ab on the fellows chin. The way
that the fresh chap hit the pike was
not slow, according to reports, and he
sobered up in jiffy. He disappeared
before he could be turned over to the
police.
