THE FIGHT FOR BETTER STREETS

7 FioFlA FIN - - -
The city Of Salem owes It to itself
that some permanent street improve
ment begin right away
All Of the past years taxes have had
to be expended on gravel, because the
Court syete improvement was not
started.
Gravel streets are better than dirt
streets. but gravel streets are about
80 years behind the times for a city
like Salem
Mayor Waters and County Judge
Scott were in conference all day yes
terday with the Bitulithic pavement
contractors from Portland
That pavement will utilize the
broken basalt or trap rock that the
CRY can get hauled in on the electric
cars.
When the people are selecting per.
sons for aldermen let them keep in
view men who will favor at least some
permanent street improvement.
Some gravel will have to be used for
years TO come in the suburbs, but on
our principal residence and business
streets 81 has outlived its usefulness.

EXCUSE US. PLEASE

The editor % this paper vas with
the Republican paper in Iowa, in its
ten-year struggle to establish prohib.-
ton in that fair state.
He saw the Law enacted with the
party OF 10000 back Of it. and a con
stitutionat amendment, and the most
stringent legislation possible.
The supreme court and the trial
courts tried honestly. with a stan Of
constabulary. and coufscation Of
breweries. 70 enforce that law.
We saw the breweries conhscated
and the saloon keepers put in Jail over
the state. and it was made crime tc
have LIQUOR In ones house.
We saw buildings burned. saloons
dynamlted. men killed. neighbor ar
rayed against neighbOr, and every com
munity divided against itself.
In the mean time there was still
drunkenness. disorder, litigation. bit.
terness. strife. financial disorder and
state stagnatiOn.
Then the state returned to a license
and real local option system that
leaves It to a community by precincts
to exclude saloons.
We will nave to be excused from as

upon the people Of Oregon. We came
to Oregon to live in a social freedom,

BURN POTATO PAR
 INGS, HAVE NO SOOT

Don't throw potato parings into the garbage box, but into the stove. ana thereby save yourself from the annoy. ance of having to call the fire depart ment to put out q chimney fire.
 Such is the advice of Chief Meninger,
 "Ehis damp weather we are having breeds favorable conditions for chim- ney fires" said the chief, yesterday at. ternoon. Indeed. am surprised that the department has not been called out any oftener. It seems when the soot becomes damp it Is more liable to originate fires by spontaneous com. bustion than in dry weather. All that we usually have to do is to allow a weight to drop down the chimney when the fire will burn itself out Of course the chimney needs a cleaning. If peo- pie would clean their chimneys regular ly the annoyance of chimney fires would soon cease to exist. From per- s0nal experience I know that the burn ing of potato parings prevents the gathering of soot. I know of fam fly that is keeping up a strong soft coal fire in it's kitchen range every day during the winter, but you can never find trace of soot on the lids, the bot toms of kettles or in any part of the stove.
 Potato parings are burned in the stove daily. Another effective method is the burning of pieces of zinc. l am not chemist enough to know, but it seems to me that the fumes generated during the combustion of the zinc ore, vent the gathering of soot. and it is this soot that is the cause of most chimney fires Milwaukee Sentinel.

INTO THE CONVENT.
Staten leland Efoshsr and Daughter
 Going TogstbaF.

Staten leland Mother and Daughter
 Going Tosssber.
 After careful consideration covering a period Of several years AIme Con- stance IIahlman and her a ccompl daughter, Marie, of Grymes Hill, Tompkinsville, Staten Island, have de cidet> 10 renounce the world and de- vote the rest of their lives to the Ro- man Catholic church. Mother and daughter will enter q convent in ehe spring.
 Mime Mailman has been resident of Staten Island for many, years and her large estate on Grymes Fl is one of the beauty spots of Staten Island. Four years ago Mime Mailman sur prised her numerous friends by dOnat- ing large parcel of land adjolnlng her home to the Sisters of the Visita- don, q cloistered order. The Sisters had convent at Jamaica, T.. l., but at once began the erection of q con vent on the property deeded to them by Mme Mailman. Mime Mailman at that time expressed her intention of entering the convent with her daugh- ter, but certain foT1nalities had to be gone through and she abandoned the idea for the time.
 The church and convent were part ly completed when the Sisters found that, being a cloistered order, they would be unable to maintain them selves and abandoned the work of erecting the buildings The property was returned to Mime Mailman.
 At this time the Rev Fl. J. Murphy, o. s. A., of Villanova college, of Phil adelphia, was looking for place to establish a church and college of the Augustinian order, and selected this property. He purchased the land and half completed buildings from Mime Mailman and soon completed the buildings.
 Mime Mailman is q member of the German nobility, and is in receipt of large income from her estates in Germany. Her beautiful daughter, Marie, has shared with her mother her devotion to religion and was rare " seen in society. Mime Mailman is strikingly handsome woman of about fifty years. Her daughter is about twenty five years old. Two years ago burglars entered their home and after chloroforming all the ln- mates ransacked the house. Mme Mailman never fully recovered from the shock, and has been i'll at intervals since. It was her intention to enter the convent several months ago, put she suffered an attack of pneumonia and was obliged to postpone her en- try. She is now recovering and hopes to be able to carry out her plans early in the spring..
 It is understood that she will turn over her fortune to the church. Her mansion on GTymes Hill is valuable property. Since the burglary she has had armed watchmen stationed about the place at night, and visitors are warned away. Mother and daughter are rarely seen in the streets, although both are regular attendants at the Church of Our Lady of Good Counsel, which is less than 100 feet from their home.

 Twelve men were found, all shout ing and gssticulating. The sudden entry of the police threw them into confusion, and eight of them escaped Four were arrested.
 The police allege they found evil dences, of gambling in the shape of a set of dice and p cents which were on the mantel
 When arraigned in court Max Frank, in whose house the men were arrest ed, acted as spokesman.

 Kaddish?' Whats that?' said Magistrate. Pool "Kaddish," explained the prisoner, means prayers for the dead. We were all bowed down in grief praying for my father when the police arrested us. T don't know why''
 Detective Kramer took the center of the bridge at this point and in answer to questions said: ''I heard loud shout ing and sounds like ante up and I win.'" DO you understand Hebrew? 9" asked the court
 He confessed he did not.
 "Well, tnen," the court added, ''you don't know whether these men were gambling or not Men praying might shout Ante up or fTWinnee' or 'Ikey' or anything else in Hebrew, and you might interpret it to mean some gam bling term. have to discharge them"
 The detective was unable to speak before leaving the court, but spoke freely when he reached his station again.
