The average man thinks every other
business better than the one in which
he is engaged. Sometimes he is so sure
Of it that he makes change, and then
comes discovery. He finds that the
new business which at long range look

thorns, not altogether different from
those which beset his old occupation.

The news that Charles H. Mark
ham is to be promoted to the
position of general manager of the
Southern Pacific railway system,
with headquarters in San Francisco,
is received with rejoicing by the
people of Western Oregon. The
broad minded and liberal policy
pursued by Mr. Markham when he
had charge of the freight and
passenger department in this state
won for him The respect and friend
ship of the people, and worked
wondersin developing the resources
of the country traversed by the
company's lines Of road. Merchants
and shippers believe that as soon
as Mr.. Markham takes charge Of
the Pacific Coast lines he will make
a satisfactory adjustment of freight
rates and provide sufficient rolling
stock to handle the rapidly increas-
ing business in Western Oregon.

Says Elk are Plentiful.

Manford Sears, of Dallas, a man
we'll acquainted with the mountains
and game Of all kinds, in an inter-
view with reference to the elk of the
Coast Range, takes exception to the
Grants Pass correspondence Of March
Is, in whicEYafter telling of band of
thirty elk, ne following language is
used, This is probably the only herd
of elk of any consequence in Oregon"
Mr.. Sears says: THE correspondent is
very much mistaken, for I have
seen on several occasions out West Of
Dallas and in the Siletz basin, many
bands Of elk, that are in flourishing
condition, having seen on one occa-
sion ten or twelve head of fine calves in
one herd" Mr.. Sears says that the only
law necessary to make elk plentiful is
a law prohibiting the sale of the flesh,
hides and teeth. With law like this,
in a very short time elk will be as
plentiful as before the advent of the
"skinners.

The commercial clubs of Salem
aud Independence are agitating the
building of an electric motor line
between the two towns, and COM
mittees from each organization are
now working on the project. The
OBSERVER believes that such an
enterprise would pay handsome re-
turns on the money invested and
be a valuable factor in helping to
build up both towns. The time is
not far distant when the entire
Willamette Valley will be covered
with a network of railroads and
trolley lines.

Caught In the Snow.

A dispatch to the Telegram from
Independence says Andrew Hannum
and Elmer Burrows, of Luckiamu ute,
had narrow escape from freezing to
death in the mountains one night last
week. They had started hunting in
the Bald Mountain country, and had
with them their lunch, intending to
return home the same evening, but
went farther than they had intended
and followed a deer trail until they
became lost in the deep snow. Night
came on, but they managed to keep a
brush fire burning until they broke
the knife they were using, and then
it was with difficulty they kept from
freezing to death. The next day they
made a fire in a hollow log and re-
mained there nearly "a hours without
food. The next morning the sky had
clearedand the half starved hunters
were able to find their way out Of the
mountains. Neither of them is anxious
to again undergo the terrible exper-
ience.

Interest in state and county
politics should not be permitted to
completely overshadow city affairs,
as it is important that good sub
stantial men should be chosen for
councilmen to be voted for at the
annual city election on April 4
The present board has been enter
prising and progressive in its ad-
ministration of city affairs, and
men should be elected who will
work to carry out the important
public improvements now under
way. The retiring members of the
board are Charles F. Belt, W. H.
Boals and G e. Shaw We are
not informed as TO whether any of
these men will consent to accept
the nomination for a second term
The councilmen receive no com
pensation for their services and
there is much work connected with
the Office, and for this reason it
would be hardly fair to ins st up
on these men giving the city more
OF their time; but all have been
faithful in the discharge of their
duty and no mistake would be
made in re-electing all three of
them, if their consent to accept the
nomination can be gained

Sheriff Ford says he has not had
time to foot the books to tell
positively the amount of 1908 tax
collected to March Is, but believes
it to be about two-thirds of the
entire roll. No trouble is ex-
periencpd in collecting taxes under
the Oregon tax law, and it will
probably be long time before any
member OF the Legislature will
have the temerity to suggest any
changes in the present system.

A sewerage system for Dallas
now seems assured The city
council is holding two or three
meetings each week to discuss the
manner of making the improve
ment, and Mr.. II. V. Gates and
Auditor Stouffer are busy at work
upon plans and estimates. No
attempt to sewer the entire city
will be made at this time, as the
amount of money involved in an
improvement of such magnitude
would be greater than the people
could afford to pay. The plans
under consideration contemplate
system for the business portion of
the city and two residence streets
only. 1t is the intention Of the
council to extend the system to the
residence district as rapidly as a
majority of the property-owners
interested shall make their wishes
known. Under the present plan
of assessing the cost, no issue of
bonds will be necessary, and no
Droperty will he taxed eXceDt that
which is directly benefited by the
sewers. The council is using every
endeavor to make the assessment
of cost just and equitable, and it is
believed that when this plan is
announced, it will meet with
general approval, Work on the
system will probably begin early
next month.

Funeral Of Mary Louise ncNiff LARGE
" Attended by Sch Oolmates.

At O'Clock this morning the funeral
of Mary Louise, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs Miles McNiff, took place with i'm
pressive ceremonies from the church of
the Immaculate Conception. The Rev
James O'Brien celebrated a high mass
of requiem. The beautiful white cas-
ket bearing the remains was preceded
down the aisle by eight honorary pail
bearers chosen from among the friends
of the deceased. They were the Misses
Laura Mccarthy, Mary Fay, Mary
Fitzgerald, Rose Lawlor, Helen Col
4oty, Katherine McGrath, Rosalind
BrownelI and Loretta Mahoney. The
active bearers We're Alexander Hench-
ey, Frank J. Spellman, Thomas l.. Nc
Partland, Charles Spellman, James
Murphy and William J. Spellman. The
pews were filed with the pupils of the
High school department, who attended:
in a body. and with the relatives and
many friends of the deceased. She
has passed away in all the vitality OF
youth and her young soul has gone to
its Maker. During the many years
spent at the convent she endeared her
self to all, both teachers and pupils, by
her lovable and gentle ways. As
token of affection towards the dear de-
parted her class made an offering of
ten masses, and a beautifully orna-
mented spiritual bouquet. The juniors
in losing her have lost not only a loved
classmate, but one of their brightest.
and most promising members Truly
it was with sorrow that we saw her
laid in her last sad resting place.
The gentle summer breezes
A requiem will wave,
and the flowers send forth incense
From Mary's new-made grave.
And often her dear schoolmates s
Will to this spot repair,
And the -breezes watt to heaven
For her soul fervent prayer.
Great Master! may we one day Join
The loved friend of our youth,
Around the crystal fountain
Of everlasting truth.
Mary Fay.
