The Journal has the variety in its ev
eryday surroundings. On one side is
the W. c. r. T., hall, ON the other "our
step mother :" renovating parlors, |
where everything comes forth new and
clean. just few steps down the
street the Illihee club holds forth. the |
street cars all meet at our office door, !
and the ear barn is within stone's
throw. The office force, from the editor
down to the "angels,' can hear the |
hum aud buzz of the big sawmill, and |
smell the fragrant malt waited from
Deckebach 5 brew. The big Willamette |
hotel, where men have been made and |
uumade in politics IN less time than it
takes to tell. The large Salem -four
mills grind out flour for the heather |
Chinee right under our very eyes, and
hundreds of pretty girls and women
promenade the South Commercial street
walks during these balmy afternoons. ]

city that would feel thei benefit OF i'm.

would. A good walk on the east side
