English tracts and sermons OF the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries

ligious slang-which they reveal. Their
titles exemplify this slang well, and
the following are Il few of them:
"The Spiritual Mustard Pot. to Make
the Soul Sneeze With Devotion"
"The Snutfers of Divine Love"
"Crumbs of Comfort For Hungry

Eugene had become dissatisfied with

that 1t was for the best interest of his
team to let Catcher Oswill go, and
so he suited the action to his convic.

MANY
EASTERN
PEOPLE
Are In Marion County and
Some Are Buying
Homes

Salem is at present quite over-run
with new comers from different sec
tions of the East. 1t is safe to say
that there are fifty families in our
midst who have recently come in on
the low rate excursions, and most Of
them are busy looking about for new
homes. Many are renting and few are
buying. This is probably as 1t should
be for while Salem and Oregon people
would like to have all these good peo-
pie buy farms and homes, it is only
natural that they should take their
time to look about. This does not
bring about boom conditions, and real
estate more nearly holds it's proper
value. Owners of property are not in
clined to jump up prices, when pur-
chasers are normal, as they would be
II things were more on the boom or
der This again is a good condition
and will result i'll a better state of af-
fairs for our community than the
other extreme. Real estate dealers
might wish to have 1t a little differ
ent. but they, like everyone else must
bide their time, and when purchasers
are made deliberately, the new set
tiers will be better satisfied than If
they rushed in unprepared. These
good people are learning from day to
day that Western Oregon is the best
country out of doors, and as this fact
becomes more apparent to them, they
are bound to settle here and be pleas
ed and prosperous residents.
