oIrY wrNs aRAvEL suIT.

The city Of Salem wins the suit for
is right in the Mimic island gravel bar.
The result will be that the city will
use gravel under the old contract.
Indications are that not as much
gravel viii be used in future as in the
past for street work
More gravel will be used than ever
before for the construction Of founda-
tions Of houses
The old plan Of putting gravel from
two to six feet deep on streets is about
as antiquated an idea as living in a
dugout would be.
Unless gravel can be screened and
put on the roads so that the goose-eggs
will not come to the top, its use should
be prohibited.
Judge Galloway deserves credit for
just about getting at the common sense
OF the matter. He is what Judge Boise
would call a pretty good guesser.

Broken granite will prove the finest

With the street railway lines to dis

Granite for roads and streets means
more 20 Oregon than anything that has
yet been proposed, because il can be

A FEW WORDS ABOUT GAMBLING

There is not 3 particle of restraint
placed on gambling games in this city,
and not much at the state fair at pres
ent.
In the saloons and other places money
games are running openly, and doing
some business, but mostly patronized
by idlers and sightseers.
The horse races, as usual, are the
fruitful cause Of much gambling, pool
selling and betting on the alleged races
As far as this city is concerned, there
is no pretense at driving out these
gambling devices, and at the fair not
much more.
Now, whether people like this or not,
there is an element Of humanity that
will gamble, whether in wheat options
race pools. or wheel games.
Whether city or fair can prevent
these persons from gambling, is an
open question. The journal does not
pretend to know.
The Journal believes in the creation
Of sound public sentiment against
gambling, aud ia educating the individ.
ual not to gamble.
In the face of state law, and city
laws that make gambling crime, and
every man who CANDLES or permits
gambling on his premises, law break.
er, there is gambling wide.open and on
a large scale
In spite of the laws there is prostitu.
tion and drunkenness, just the same as
gambling, and there will be until indi.
yiduals are shown the error of their
ways, and no longer believe there is
pleasure in these things.
Merely prosecuting individuals and
convieting them, and throwing them ia
to Jail does not reform them or take
away the desire for these things.
IL he a question whether open prae
tice Of these things, that shocks the
public sense Of decncy, is not better
than il all these vices we're carried on
in secret

there was great city in central Africa
which was the capital of the empire

The empire of the SOnghais was the

KOukiya carried on trade with Egypt
under the pharaohs. Even after the
fall of the empire Koukiya was a very

It was utterly destroyed by the Tou-

Warts and MOlcs May BE Dangerous.
The members of the American Acad-
deny of Medicine showed much inter-
est in a paper by DIR. W. W. Keen of
Philadelphia on the dangers of warts
and molcs. DIR. Keen compared wart
to "a match that can produce grent
cOnflagration.' and recommended that
all such growths be removed Mt once
while yet in the harmless stage.
The danger of warts lies in the fact
that after years of harmless existence
something may cause them to spread.
Out of twenty-five persons affected by
the malignant spread Of warts eleven
died in spite Of operations, sometimes
even amputations.
DR.. Keen's hearers agreed with him
that every wart and mole should be
destr, Jed at once and said that he
had done well in bringing the matter
to public attention.

Ii only the settlement of America

be easy To account for the westward
tendency in question. on the ground
that this continent was virtually an
unoccupied wilderness. filed with the
most tempting riches and containing
only scattered tribes of savagcs and
barbarians ut the time of Columbus
voyages. and that its rapid occupation
by men of the Caucasian race and of
civilized habits and needs fiocking
from the crowded countries of Europe
was an inevitable result arising out
of the situation.
But glance at the history of the
old world shows that the westward
tendency has always existed. Every
great overflow Of peoples. and. with
temporary exceptions. every sweep Of
conquest and colonization. has been in
general toward the west-Garret +.
