SALEM
SALOONS
OPENED
Result Of the GaIIOway
Decision on
Situation

At least one Of the Salem saloons
opened yesterday for the first time
since the voluntary closing took place
about six weeks ago, pending the de-
cision on the Sunday law in the higher
courts.
The decision Of Judge Galloway was
rendered on the 18th of November, and
the time for an appeal does not expire
for six months, and it is not known
what the champions of Sunday closing
will do in the premises.
At present the city has a Sunday
closing ordinance, but, on the opinion
Of Judge Bonham that it would not
stand in the courts, no attempt has
been made to enforce the same.
Saloon men are divided as to whether
they will open on Sunday or not, and
some favor an ordinance closing all ci-
gar stores, restaurants, clubs, drug
stores and news stands. 1t is under
stood that a conference of the liquor
dealers is to be called to consider the
matter.
T The Galloway decision, unless it is
appealed from, refers the whole matter
of Sunday closing to the council, as
having the power under the charter
to regulate the question of Sunday OBJ
servance.
The licenses issued to the saloons by
the city contain provision in the bono
for $500, which each saloon keeper
must give before he obtains his license
that he "shall keep decent and re
spectacle house, and will not allow any
disorderly conduct therein, and will MOI
in any way dispose of spurious, vinou'
or malt liquor on the Sabbath day, ol
Egive or sell the same to any person in
toxicated, or to a minor, or to persoI
declared by ordinance to be a common
drunkard, or permit minors to frequen
his place of business, during the con
tinuance of his license, then this obi
CATION to be void; otherwise, to be an'
remain in full force and effect"

Portage Contractors Fail.

For some reason which is yet unex-
planned the McCabe Construction Com
pany refused to take the contract for
the building of the Dalles-Celilo port
age road. The company was given
seven days in which to accept and sign
the contract and file their bond. This
time expired at midnight Saturday af'
ternoon State Treasurer Moore says
they had not signed, and that he has
not been notified that they have done
so since, and that he undoubtedly
would have been notified if they had
done so. 1t is rumored that some dis
agreement arose between the company
and the Open River Association, who
recommended to the portage board that
the McCabe Company have the con-
tract.

The government of the United States
makes many thousands of dollars every
year through the earelessness or mis-
fortunes of persons with whom it has
business to transact. Merchants some
times meke money in the same way but
the amount is inconsiderable. If the
merchant gives check in satisfaction
of an obligation and the check is lost
the loss can be proved and the amount
recovered by the man to whom the
check was given. Sometimes it happens
that man gives check, which is af-
terwards destroyed, and possibly the
man to whom the check was issued
never claims the money. But this hap
pens so seldom that the profit from this
source is one to which no business man
would give serious consideration in
figuring the possibilities of a season.
But Uncle Sam, on the contrary,
can figure out pretty well before the
beginning of the fiscal year that so
many thousand dollars will be put TO
his credit on the "proft and loss"
account before the year is over. This
profit will come from bonds, United
States noteS Treasury notes of 1890
and silver certificates destroyed and
never presented for redemption; from
unclaimed interest on interest bearing
securities, abrasions of gold and sill
yer coin, money orders which are lost
and never duplicated, as well as the
humble postage stamp which is not put
TO the use for which it was intended.
The amount which the government
makes in destroyed stamps each year
is not determinable but it undoubted'
ly amounts to many hundred dollars.
The stamp collectors furnish large
revenue to the government for they
put away stamps at their face value
and the Post Office Department is new
er required 20 perform the service
which is represented in the purchase
price.

cause debts Of the government are sell

SUICIDE
CLUB AT
SALEM
An Old Story Sprung
On A Journal
Reporter

It is said that a "13' club is one Of
the latest things in Salem, but the
names of the members are unknown.
The story runs that 13 people have
banded themselves together for the
purpose Of shutting off when their
turn comes, and they are to decide the
matter by drawing lots.
A club Of this kind was organized
several years ago in the East, and be-
fore the police could get the names of
the members and break up the terrible
practice almost the entire society Of
self destruction had accomplished its
purpose.
The informant, who, by the way, is
local business man, says that he has
absolute information that the story of
Salem club is true, and that draw
ing will occur once month. The mem
bers are said to consist of the CLOVER
five," and the club was probably the
outcome of the recent deaths by that
method.
Every effort should be made to as
certain the names of the people who
have thus degraded themselves, and
commit them to the asylum, where they
will have ample time to mediate on
the folly of their ways.

GOVERNMENT WAKES MONEY

1t is no fault of the government that
this profit accumulates. Every effort
is made to find the man to whom the
government is indebted and every op-
portunity is given TO him to claim the
amount of the indebtedness. In the
case of a lost or stolen bond he has
simply to prove ownership and give
an indemnity bond TO protect the gov
ernment against loss. In the case OF
a Treasury note injured by fire or wat
er, he has to send the remains and the
experts of the department will de-
cipher SO far as possible the value of
the pile tits original value) and the
money will be restored to him. In the
case Of a money order both the remit
ter and the remittee are advised again
and again that the money remains un'
paid.
The value of missing United States
interest bearing securities Of the ear
lier issues prior to and during the
Civil War on June 3Oth, 1904, amounted
to more than 100000. These obli-
cations on which interest ceased years
ago, date back to 1s47.
