III Is NOT STEALING.

A number Of newspapers have cop
led The Journal Diamond Guessing
Contest word for word and Lppropri.
ated the entire scheme.
They have only changed IL to give
away a 800 buggy, or some other
article None Of them give their
readers a diamond.
As The Journal did not copyright
lts scheme for giving away a diamond
and did not take out a patent on It
anyone was at liberty to copy
The Journal considers It a great
compliment that II was able to invent
a harmless, innocent and amusing
contest.
or course. some postal department
Official may still discover or distori
some law or ruling that will declare
our contest unlawful.
While that might defeat our pur
pose to give away a diamond each
month TO our subscribers, It would
stlll not make It wrong 10 give aw.
a Gift to stimulate business.
The Journal believes In enterprise
and progress and prosperity and in
sharing IL to the greatest degree pos.
sible with all others.
Our subscribers have confidence in
us 10 the extent Of paying their sub.
scriptlons and taking a free guess at
a diamond.
They should not wait for others.
but everybody push this guessing
contest TO a conclusion, and see who
gets the diamond.
After the diamond has been given
away and there is perfect satisfac.
ton with the system, It can be re.
peated.
There is no reason why $3.50 or a
5000 diamond or house and lot can.
not be given away on the same plan.
The Journal repeats that II there
Is any element OF illegality or unfair,
ness or even the appearance Of evil
about this guessing contest 1t would

MAKE 1T BROKEN ROCK.

Some Of the citizens of South Sa
lem, known now as the seventh ward
have called a meeting for Friday night
at the school house to organize a
street Improvement league.
The meeting is to be at 1880, and
several speakers are to be in from
Liberty and tell about their broken
stone road. Steps are to be taken to
build a similar road through South
Salem.
The county has levied a tax for
roads on all the property of the city,
and the new wards want that expend.
ed on the streets of those wards
which need It very much.
The people Of South Salem should
never be content with anything but
a broken rock road. The earth has
been cultivated, and river gravel has
been hauled Ior forty years. That is
long enough.

Mr.. John Ward. f. S. A., writing
In the London AntiQuary, gives some
very interesting details of excavation
work carried up on the Nile some
months ago. Many thousand tombs
mostly prehistoric have been opened
most Of them had no inscriptions
whatever but in some cylinders and
scarabs We're found with inscriptions
so old that It will require great study
to decipher their meaning. Most of
the remains are mere skeletons and
never have been mummlfed. These
wero generally found lying on their
