Flowers are very scarce this year
and people who wish to- decorate the

TO buy what flowers they use. We
are very fortunate in being able to
offer the finest stock of cut flowers
and blooming plants that we have ever
had at this season of the year Wreaths
of lockwood and galax tied with a

the latter is not mentioned.
Passenger agents of local rail
roads, who are commenting on the
action of the Burlington. say it looks
as if this road has cast its passen-

for boosting the Pennsylvania was
because connection with it and the

RAILROAD NEWS

What is claimed to be a real traf-
fee alliance between the Burlington
and Pennsylvania railroads is appar-
ent in the work of exploitation of the
former company in the west, say Chi
cago railroad agents.
The Burlington management, in
advertising its new passenger trains,
states in the Denver papers that the
schedules are so arranged that it is
now possible to go from Denver to
New York in 46 hours, in connection
with THE" 1S-hour train connecting
in the Union station. Chicago. The
entire advertisement is in connection
with the Pennsylvania railroad SER
vice and so states, which would indi-
cate that hereafter the Burlington
passenger representatives at least
will bend their efforts to bringing the
two roads together so far as passen-
gers are concerned.
1t has long been the impression
that the Burlingtons and Pennsyl-
vania systems would eventually, be-
come parts of whole There is
nothing in such reports. From time
to time rumors couple the Pennsyl-
vania with one or another OF the
western lines in way of a consolida-
ton, the last being the amalgamation
of this road with the Santa Fe
There is no prospect of a common
ownership of the Pennsylvania with
any other western road and the deal
with the Burlington now is entirely
one for the control of passengers.
1t is apparent that the Burlington
has concluded to give its assistance
exclusively to the Pennsylvania line
out of Chicago in connection with the
] 8-hour service, as the western
roads train from Denver arrives in

amount was correct.
Thursday of last week the invita-

sent to high school the mistake was
discovered. The amount that the in
vitations came to. including the ex-
press, was something over $500. It is
needless to say it caused consterna-

would be about $l10.

A failing tiny nerye--no larger
than the finest silken thread--takes
from the heart its impulse, it's pow
er. its regularity. The stomach also
has its hidden, or inside nerve. II
was DR.. Shoop who flrst told us It
was wrong to drug a weak or failing
stomach, heart OF kidneys. His pre-
scription-Dr. Shoop's Restorative
is directed for the cause of these
weak and faltering
inside nerves, This, no doubt, clear
ly explains why the Restorative has
of late grown SO rapidly in popular
ity. Druggists say that those who
test the Restorative even for a few
days, soon become fully convinced
of its wonderful merit. Anyway,
don't drug the organ. Treating the
cause OF sickness is the only sensible
and successful way. Sold by Capt.

POKES HUBBY, AND HUBBY
TURNS HIS BACK AND THE
ELONGATED FISH WORMS UP
TO THE SUN.


The suburbanite is the busy man
nowadays, since the supreme Oregon
climate has toned down to the exact
ness and perfection of garden plant
ing time and the Salem hardware
establishments are having a great run
on tools with which to turn over the
SOIL With abundance of freedom in
the way of space and short working
hours, Salem people residing outside
the city have a great advantage over
the "town-lot resident" in that he
can concentrate his thoughts on
things outside of business and make
dirt fly in his own back yard, to a
helpful advantage.
The busy Chinaman who depends
upon his small acreage to. make his
living in the vicinity of this city,
finds very small trade in the suburbs
of the city at this time of year, as
the prospective buyers of truck are
too busy looking forward to the many
delicious things they will unearth
from their own property, and show
their independence of the regular
nature-food provider until their stock
of green stuffs has been exhausted.
However, the country gardener does
not starve, moreover, he realizes a
splendid living and good fat salary
in addition from his efforts in fur
nishing the city man things that can
not be induced to live and grow on
paved streets. Wagons loaded with
green goods" can be seen already
coming into Salem from every direO
tion, and the local grocerymen are
scrambling for the gardner's good
things, which are not slow to vanish
from the delivery wagon.
