WILL ERECT A
fine BUILDING

Today D. A. White C Sons started
breaking ground back of the U. s.
National bank preparatory to the
erection of modern two-story brick
building. The dimensions of the
building will be so by 65 feet with a
full basement and it will be occupied
entirely by D. A. White & Sons with
their wholesale and retail feed, seed,
poultry and bee business. The back
part of the building will connect by
an overhead passage with their
warehouse across the way which
faces on Front street, Besides this
warehouse they have three other
warehouses in different parts of the
town. Mr.. White and his sons, F. M.
and H. 0. White have built up the
largest seed and feed business in the
Willamette Valley outside of Port
land. They are the only house out
side of Portland that issues its own
catalog printed in It's home town.
The building will cost about $4,000
and the architects and contractors
say there will be no better building
in Salem than this when completed.
Mr.. White and his sons are to be
congratulated upon their success in
this business, which is due wholly to
their careful business methods and
good Judgment, The building will be
another lasting advertisement for the
city of Salem.

Governor Sloan, of Arizona, was
on the International line during the
entire forenoon. Through his in
tervention with Colonel Skunk the
United States cavalry was ordered to
drive Douglas citizens, anxious to
see the battle, out of the danger
zone. These, numbering 1000 men,
women and children and even babies
in Gorcarts, were pushed and showed
back by the cavalrymen to the shell
ter of the first row of houses.
Governor Sloan issued an order
yesterday summoning the state mill

The guardsmen were held under
arms in the armory prepared to as
sist the regulars, should interven-
tion become necessary.
Toward noon the firing fell off and
it VS. believed that the second attack
had been repulsed. The rebel COM

to send out squads which comman-

A conference was held by Mayor
Lachmund, General Manager Hid,
Of the Portland Railway, Light &
Power company, local Manager Roll
lin K. Page, local Counsel John H,
McNary and several others, Saturday
night and the whole situation as to
the city lighting and streetcar SER
vice was gone over in detail. A
committee of business men was also
in session on the matter Of cluster
lights, but no progress was made.
Mayor Lachmund was asked by
General Manager Hid to rescind the
ordinance requiring air brakes on
the street cars in Salem, but the
mayor would make no promises. Mr..
Hid is new man who has come
from New York Ia take charge of
the street car lines and lighting
plants Of the P. r. L. & P. company,
and was in the city getting next to
the situation. He asked the mayor
if he would rescind the airbrake or
dinance providing the company
would put on six new cars in this
city? He was told that every slight
improvement in the service was met
by the people with rapid increase Of
/ business. Improved service would
double and treble and the receipts Of
the company from passenger fares in
the opinion of those present. The
pride OF the city was lowered by the
kind OF street cars now operated.
That was the opinion of all present.
Manager Page came in for several
roasts, on the ground of delaying
paving work, as the city could not do
half 1t wanted to, because the street
car corporation was never ready and
took all summer to do little lob
that could be done in 30 days with
ordinary business methods. Some
present exonerated Mr.. Page on the
ground that he had too much to do.
He Is manager of the street cars,
lighting plant, gas plant, legal ad-
visor, manages electric and water
and light and power plants at Wood
burn, Sllverton and Mt. Angel Then
put in lot of rebuilding and street
paving work and planning cluster
lights and the wonder was he got
along as well as he did. Mr.. Hid
has gone back to Portland to make
his report, and the chances are there
will be something doing at Salem
along different lines This city is
entitled to better street car SER
vice and it is the opinion of the best
I business men that more progress
i've management would meet with
hearty cooperation and a far great
er volume of business would result.
Mr.. Hid was accompanied by Mr.
Townsend who is quite familiar with
conditions at the Capital City.
