 Resolved by the Board of Peniten- tiary Commissioners, That we here by ask MT.

 That we, severally and collective ly, emphatically deny this insinuation and charge against our board or any member thereof, and state to MT. Kirby that he has neither the facts nor the nerve to comply with this res olution."

SOMETHING DOING.

There is more hope for the city
of Salem in the auction sale OF the
townsite of Donald than many are
aware of.
IL Is the first time that such a
real estate enterprise HAS BEEN
SPRUNG ON THE COMMUNITY.
II Is the California method of sell
Ing a whole town off In a day. IL Is
the modern method OF building a
city in a year.
The people will go down there
next Tuesday and they will bid In
the lots AS FAST As THEY CAN BE
OFFERED FOR SALE.
The cars will not hold the people
who will want to go, snd they Will
be there from all directions.
On top of the auction sale some
real estate will be given away These
are new methods. THEY ARE
SWIFT METHODS.
Salem as a city has been slow. II
has been the town OF slow bells. But
II Is awakening to new ideas rapidly.
