Rooms to Let.

Editor Journal: Believing that the
Journal is interested in the welfare of
Salem in more ways than one, it
would be very much in line with its
popular policy to sound a warning
note to the people of an impeding
famine. The famine will not be
wheat, hay or hops. 1t will not be a
famine of suitable candidates for po-
litical snaps or of mud, but just an
ordinary, common, unromantic every
day famine of rooms to let.
There are several hundred people who
are today living in rooms they would
vacate in "a hours for better ones.
There are hundreds of poor but re-
spectacle people who would be glad of
the opportunity to move into a mod
ern fiat or rooming house. There are
many inquiries for rooms every day.
Where are these newcomers which are
to make up our 10000 notch popula-
tion going to stay9 They can't all
build houses. They can't all live in
rooms which are even now already
overcrowded with tenants. Where do
the people of Salem expect these other
10000 to stayS Do we expect to
build them anything to live inf What IS
the matter with the people of Salem'
Are they asleep9 Along with all the
new rooms needed by these new resi-
dents will be corresponding demand
for modern office buildings. Salem
needs more new office buildings, new
store buildings, new houses and fats
to keep the increase in our population
In case of Portland being overhowed
with Lewis and Clark sleepers, Salem
will be called upon to help out. Is
there any effort being made to supply
the demandi There should be a dozen
big, modern rooming houses or fats
building right now. The fact that Sa.
lem is becoming more and more a
school center is another good reason
why more rooming places should be
provided. Salem will find herself in
a bad fix in short time if she don t
get awake and put up some buildings.
She will have town full of people
who can neither find places to sleep,
buildings to start business in or Of
fees to locate themselves. Wake up,
Salem builders, and when you are
ready for me address.

A feature of the fine arts exhibit at
the Lewis and Clark exposition will
be the Italian display of rare art crea-
tions. Italy has applied for large
allotment of space and some of the
best works of Italian artists of the
present day and some of the old mas
ters will be hung at the exposition for
the first time in this country.
V, Zeggio, commissioner general
from Italy to the Lewis and Clark ex-
position, has left this country for
Venice, where he will make careful
selection of paintings and other works
of art for the exhibit. Some of the
rarest paintings executed since the Re
naissance are on exhibition in the royal
Italian art galleries, and as Commits
sioner zeggio will have these to select
from, it may be said without any exag
, geration that the Italian art exhibit
at the Lewis and Clark exposition will
be the finest ever displayed in this
country.
Owing to the great value of some OF
the paintings they will be brought tC
Portland under the care of speeia

certain amount Of common property;
in the one case the house and all il
contains, and in the other the arabic
land and pasturage. In both cases there
| is common amount Of responsibility,
in the one case for all the debts and
in the other for all the taxes and com
munal obligations. And both are pro
tected against the ordinary conse-
quences Of insolvency, for the family
cannot be deprived Of its house or me-
cessary agricultural implements, and
! the commune cannot be deprived of its
land by importunate creditors.
The zemstvo is a kind Of local adj
ministration, which supplements the
action of the rural communes and
takes cognizance Of thoso higher pub
lie wants, which individual communes
cannot possibly satisfy. It's principal
duties are to keep the roads and
bridges in proper repair, to provide
means of conveyance for the rural po-
lice and other officials, to elect Justices
Of the Peace, to look after the primary
education and sanitary affairs, to watch
the state of the crops and take meas
ures against approaching famine, and,
in short, to undertake, within certain
clearly defined limits, whatever seems
likely to increase the material and
moral well being of the population. In
form, the institution is parliamentary
that is to say, it consists of an as
sembly of deputies, which meets once
a year, at least, and of permanent
executive bureau elected by the assem-
bly, from among its members. If the
assembly be regarded as a local par
lament, the bureau corresponds to the
ministry. Once every three years the
deputies are elected in certain fixed
proportion by the landed proprietors,
the rural communes and the municipal
corporations. Every province and
each of the districts into which the
province is divided has such an assem-,
bly, and such bureau.
The Zemstvo is composed partly of
mobiles and partly of peasants, the lat
ter being decidedly in the majority,
and no trace of antagonism seems to
exist between the two classes. Landed
proprietors and those who were once
their serfs evidently meet for the oc-
casion on footing of equality. The
discussions are always carried on by
the mobiles, but on more than few oc-
casions, peasant members rise to speak
and their remarks, always clear, prac-
teal, and to the point are invariably
listened to with respectful attention by
all present.
This assembly meets in September,
and in December the assembly for the
province meets. In general character
and mode of procedure it resembles
closely the district assembly just de-
seribed. Its chief peeuliarities are that
its members are chosen not by the pri-
mary electors, but by the assemblies
(Zemstvos) of the districts composing
the province, and that it takes cogniz'
ance only of matters that concern more
than one district.

Mr.. H. O. Clark. Of San Ea,
Francisco, is here with his new
gold washing machine with which
be made most decided success il
the Pittsburg placer fields. While
at Pittsburg he demonstrated the
fact that he could handle as muoh
dirt with his machine in one day
as 20 ordinary rockers or dry wash
ers in the same length of time.
Not only this. he saved the values
so closely that expert panners were
unable to produce any colors from
the tailings. His machine has a
cylinder three feet long and l8 in
ches in diameter that is surround
ed by a revolving screen of ] inch
mesh. Within the screen there is
a half circle bottom containing
rifles about ] inch deep and one
inch IN width in which the dirt
drops after passing through the
screen. The gravel that falls into
the rifles is constantly agitated by
steel fingers. or wormers. that sep.
crates the gold from the dirt; the
refuse readiaIly passing away while
the gold remains in the rifles.
Under anything like favorable CON-
ditions this machine will handle
fro m 30 to 40 tons of dirt q day.
1t is operated by hand crank
with great ease.
