Fire has destroyed the lead
ing industry of our town, and
by doing this has seriously
crippled another industry de-
pendent upon the mill of Smith,
Moore q Co, for its product.
We voice the sentiment of
the entire community, when we
ask Messrs. Smith, Moore & Co.
to rebuild their mill here and
thus retain for the town an en-
terprise which is worth thous-
ands of dollars q year to our
people, laborers and mechanics,
as well as business men. The
enterprise of the owners of the
burned mill is appreciated by
all thoughtful citizens, and the
fact that about five hundred
people of the town and sur
rounding country have been
largely dependent upon their
enterprise, inspires us to hope
that they may see their way to
cC.tinuein business here al
though it is realized that for a
number of years nearly all the
lumber they have used has been
freighted here from the South
and manufactured by them into
box shocks at a greater expense
than if they had manufactured
shocks where the lumber was
sawed.
We have no idea as to the
plans of Messrs. Smith, Moore
Il Co., but we do hope they
may see their way clear to con-
tinue their manufacturing OPP
erations in this town. They
have greatly benefited Snow
Hill in the past, and on every
side we hear expressions of APP
probation from the people, and
the hope that the big milf
will be rebuilt. If this is done
then the kindling mill can also
be operated.
We know it is the desire of
: Smith, Moore & Co. to help this
community, and we feel that
they will make sacrifices to do
so.

PRESIDENT TAFT.

Hon. William Fl. Taft was on
Thursday inaugurated Presi-
dent of the United States. The
MESSENGER wishes for him a
peaceful, prosperous admins
tration, and hopes the country
will be in such a prosperous
condition the next four years
that the cry of "hard times
will not be heard on any man S
tongue.
The passing of Hon. Theodore
Roosevelt seems to have been
welcomed by the people re-
CARELESS of their party ties.
Democrats and Republicans
alike feel that Mr.. Taft is a
much safer man to guide the
old ship of state than the eccen-
trio man he succeeded as Presi-
dent. Mr.. Roosevelt is some
thing entirely different from
the Presidents who preceded
him. Once more we have re-
turned to the solid kind, and the
people are glad. Mr.. Taft, we
wish you well.

THE SHORT CIRCUIT.

In this electrical day one hears and
reads a great deal about short cir
cults" without having the slightest
idea of what the expression means.
The short circuit" said one of the
General Electric Engineers, means
simply that wires have become cross
ed or connected so as to form a by
path or shunt of comparatively low
resistance through which 80 much of
the electrical current passes as prac-
tically to cut of that portion OF the
circuit through which the current
originally flowed. In other words q
Short circuit" has replaced the nor
NAL circuit which may be considered
as a long circuit. The cutting out of
the resistance of the long line per-
mits the power to rush over this path
of low resistance and if the apparatus
was not protected by the circuit
breaker, the electrical machinery
would do itself serious harm.
/; To prevent serious effects from ac-
cidental short-circults of electric
lighting wires IN buildings a fuse"
Is inserted in the circuit just inside
the building, In case nail or some
other falling object short-circuts the
electric wires in the house this fuse"
blows out; i, e. melts out, and throws
the circuit open so no electricity can
flow through the wires in the house
until the short" is found and cor
rected.-Electrica News.

PORTLAND'S MAYOR.

Portland is now seeking a candl-
date for mayor The city wants and
needs a big man for the position-a
man who will be the mayor of all the
people and will will give a strong,
progressive administration. No such
man has yet been found.
Mayor Harry Lane, who has been
at the helm for the past four years,
has declined a denomination. He will
leave the office with a fine record
to his credit, despite the fact that he
has made many enemies and has been
bitterly assailed throughout his two
terms in office. He has given the
city an honest, vigorous administra-
tion. He has enforced the law against
dive keepers and has protected the
city from the encroachments of pub
lie service corporations Naturally
this has made him hated by many.
but with the rank and file Of the peo-
pie of Portland he stands high.
For successor TO Mayor Lane,
Joseph Simon is the only formidable
candidate at present. He has been
endorsed by republican convention
and if he5can secure the nomination
at the primaries viii run under the
name Of that party.
But in Joe simon's record there is
mush that is Objectionable and little
to commend admiration. In the olden
daw he \ IS a clever machine leader.
A. political prest!gitator he was
very sNll1ll and once upon a time,
through the inability Of the legisla-
turs to agtee upon any other man 70,
senA;yrg lie landed the toga for him.
self While he was in the senate the
people of Oregon were ashamed Of
hiH and Of themselves.
Portland people should be able to
pick out a better man than Joe 81 |
mon for mayor. They should pick
outs better man. They should Sc
lecr man from the new political
school andsnot from the old. The day
Of machine rule is over Whether the
futHe mayor is a republican or a
democrat, matters not a whit But
It is important that man be secured
whg will enforce the law. should a !
maypr be khosen who will permit an !
open tovh" policy, the people Of
Portland yin live to regret It.

GASOLINE CARS.

1t is understood that the o. R. &
n. company is now planning to use
gasoline motor cars in the handling
of much of its local passenger traf-
fic. For several years experiments
have been made with these cars. Lo-
cal people have had opportunities to
inspect the cars on several different
occasions when they passed through
the city.
Apparently the gasoline cars have
proven a success and they are now
to be put into general use. Should
such be done there will be a revolu-
tion in local transportation methods.
Gasoline cars, if run frequently
enough, may serve almost the same
purpose as electric lines.
Should the O. R. & N. company
place gasoline cars on the run between
this city and Walla Walla and be-
tween Umatilla and Pendleton good
service will be provided for the
entire county. Such a service would
be for the convenience of the people
and would unquestionably result in
producing a closer settlement Of the
county and a higher stage of devel-
opment in the rural sections.

A READY-MADE VERDICT.

a composite postmaster and coroner.
He was called one day to give hisyer-

had been the victim Of fit on the

much priced "Clty Hospital" There
the case was diagnosed as appehdi-

place the attending surgeon diseov-
cred that the patient had been pre-
yiously relieved Of his appendix. The
doctor endeavored to retraGt his steps
but the strange man died. from the
effects Of the operation.

ALBANY NO MATCH
FOR SALEM HIGH

Regular fireworks greeted Salem
fans on Willamette field yesterday
afternoon when the Salem high school
baseball aggregation took their turn
at bat against the Albany high school
team, and had It not been for the Wis
itors running out of punk there Ia
no telling how much higher ths Sa-
lem lads would have boosted the run
column. The final result of rhe one
sided contest was 12 to In favor OF
Salem, the Albany men being unable
to get much further than second base.
Abount the only player who could
boast of even a lucky streak was
Dooley, the pitcher. This young slab
ster played in good form yesterday
and struck out seven men and pulled
off an unassisted double play with
good speed. AS usual Salem's handy
little pitcher, Ashenfelter, did the
visitors up in a bewildering mass of
shoots and big roundhouse curves and
not once during the game did the
foxy young chap loose his head. Ash
enfelter's grit and his dependable arm
puts life in the lads behind him and
they all have confidence in the little
twirler.

GROWTH or CAPITAY
CITY IS HEALTH

In looking up the matter OF immi-
grafton to Salem, The Journal man
has been making an effort to get q
record OF actual settlers, and finds
the results very encouraging. For I'm
stance, since the FIRST OF May, 3S
heads OF families, according to tho
records of the Board OF Trade, have
cast their lot In Salem. In several
instances, there are good-sIzed fam
lilies OF children, and, all told, the
actual list OF newcomers so far this
month approximates very close to
100.
Several of these have bought
homes in the city; more OF them have
gone onto small tracts outside, and
others are still casting about TO find
what final arrangements they can
make. The people are coming In
Just about as rapidly as they can be
comfortably assimilated. Among
them are quite a few mechanics, and,
at the present time, practically ev-
eryone is employed. This iB certain
iy normal, healthy growth, and one
which means a great deal for the per-
manent upbuildlng OF our city.
Nearly everyone coming TO Salem
has been OF a self-snpporting or a
well-to-do class, which is another
strong feature In the situation.
There are, at present, In the city a
considerable number OF well-to-do
people casting about for opportunl-
ties to engage In business or make
profitable Investments.
Most OF the people who have come
West the past three months have had
colonist tickets through to Southern
Oregon, and. OF coprse. they are
used to the limit. OF these. many
have stopped In the Willamette val
ley on their way south, and later re-
turned 10 settle here, and II is che
conviction OF all such that Salem Is
Offering the best general opportuni-
ties for settlers. Our lands and city
property have not yet reached the
high point where people begin TO feel
uneasy about investing, and. in fact,
we are gaining the reputation OF hav-
ing not only the best lands In West
ern oregon, I'm this part OF the val |
Icy. but they are still selling at low
or prices than anywhere else. As said |
before, these are healthful condi-
tlons and mean that Salem IN having |
only satisfied customers" In her In
coming settlers.
The building operations thus fnr
this year, are greatly exceeding those |
OF 1908, and, although that was the
banner year OF Salem's history In
such matters, II is believed by good
judges, that II will be far outsfrip-
ped, " not doubled, during 1909.

PREPARING TO PUT
PRICE OF ICE UP
Dealers Report Harvest is so Per Cen,
Short, So Prospects Are Charges
Will Be Boosted.

From present indications the ice
dealers will have their annual kick on
the length of winter coming when the
spring finally comes along and pre-
vents the further harvest of ice for the
summer. The local companies claim
that they have stored away only about
half the amount they need and that
there appears little prospect of getting
more. The Channel Ice company of
Moline and the Union Ice e Coal com
pany of this city commenced work
this morning in the Moline pool, how
ever, as it was found that the ice was
over seven inches thick and of fairly
good quality. Both companies will
employ large forces of men and may
put on a night force in the endeavor
to lay in as large a supply as possible
before the warm weather causes the
supply to disappear again. The .indi-
cations are the dealers will boost the
price again this summer-and of
course they will act individually and
not by any agreement.
