MANY SPLENDID BUILDINGS
AND STREET IMPROVEMENTS
SHOW SALEM'S RAPID GROWTH

much 20 do with this wonderful de-
velopment.
In the down town district, num-
Der of substantial buildings have
been erected and have changed the
aspect of things considerably. On
Court street the Wexford, built by
p. II. Darcy, has improved that
thoroughfare, while on Commercial
street the, new cement block on the
corner of Center street, replaces
some ugly sign boards and hole in
the ground. Further up this street
the Marion presents a picture of
modern architecture and is a huge
improvement over the old building
1t replaces. The Catlin & Lynn
building on state street and the new
VIII te block in the rear of the
United States National Bank build
in, add much to the appearance of
the block between Commercial and
Front.
The Twelfth street. district has
been added to by several business
houses as we'll as the enormous new
storage depot of the s. p. Co. The
completion of the new Mute school
and the Enlewood public school
makes good addition to the pub
lie buildings Of the city for one
year.

Louis Vernani has leased the cor
ner of State and Liberty street to n
Mr.. Rutherford, of Portland, for a
period of 25 years. One of the pro-
visions of the lease, 1t is stated Is
that a three story pressed brick
building is to be started on the cor
ner by January 1, 1910. This will
make o great Improvement over u
lot which has long been a disgrace
to the city.
Work on Capitol is about COM
pleted and during the coming week
will be open for travel from Court
to Madison. This is probably the
most important piece of street work
undertaken during the present year
and has been done in a remarkably
short time. On May 6 petition
was circulated and on the following
Monday presented to the council at
which meetingft was referred to the
street compiittee and the work has
progressed by rapid stages ever
since. This is the first through
street running north and south
through the city to be completed
and is a great credit to those who
fathered the project as we'll as to
those who foot the bill.
The trustees of the Methodist
church have purchased so feet OF
land adjoining the church property
on the east. This was bought for
the purpose of erecting a parsonage
thereon and using the space now
occupied for that purpose, for an en-
largement of the church edifice by
extending It south of the present
structure. The consideration, which
is withheld, is said to have been
close TO $4,000.

that the state courts have no Jurisdiction

trial before adjourning his court until to

while even IL a general invitation were
accepted by Mr.. Asquith and his allies the
deaths of all the men at the banquet and
the continued good health of the gentle
ladies could not but excite suspicion.
We have, however, in ancient Roman
history an event closely analogous to the
poisoning of whole government by fe-
male politicians Livy tells the story in
his Book VIII. chapter Is. and IL is dated

granted her terms. and she denounced
many matrons on charge Of brewing
poisons. About twenty of these ladies
were examined. the stun was found i'm

Clans declared that the drugs which they
brewed were perfectly wholesome. The

WORK OF YOUNG WOMAN.
Miss Martha Berry Built Up School
for Mountain Whites.
From Human Life.

From Human Lie.
There is no more exceptional educa-
tional institution in America than the
Berry School for mountain whites. near
Rome, Ga, and yet the whole work grew
out OF a little Sunday school that Miss
Martha Berry established in the noun
ta.ns near Postum Trot, Ga. less than
ten years ago.
At that time Miss Berry was residing on
as estate which was all that was left of
the fortune of the southern family to
which she belonged. In taking her walks
she was impressed by the desolate condi-
ton OF the mountain children.
Their parents we're too poor to supply
them with anything more than the harest
necessities of life. and they were growing
up in utter indifference to everything
pertaining to education. To remedy this
to small degree she invited q number Of
them to meet her every Sunday at a little
cabin she owned. and there undertook to
teach them a few of the things they most
needed to know.
At the time Miss Berry had no thought
OF establishing a permanent school. In
stead of being a temporary affair, how
ever. the school soon made itself an insti-
tuition practically without any effort on
her part. So far as the children of the
poor whites were concerned they not
only crowded her cabin to more than its
full capacity every Sunday. but they

finally came to her with the request that
day school be added.
For time II looked as if the move
ment had come TO a point beyond which
it could not go, but finally Miss Berry
screwed up sufficient courage to make d
trip to the north that she might tell some
of the rich philanthropists about her
moor white boys and her mountain
school.
1t was an interesting story that she
had to tell, and she told it well that
she went back to her pupils with funds
sufficient not only to maintain the school
but to enlarge it. Today the school has a
thousand acres Of land. much of it under
cultivation. and several fine buildings, in
which fifteen teachers are kept busy in
