Salem, Or, Sept. 2, 1911.


To the Editor:
Referring to the article which ap-
peased In Friday nights Salem Capt.
tai Journal, wherein 1t Is inferred
that the city administration Ia lend
Ing its support to the Oregon Electric
Hill interests against the Southern
Pacific Welch-Harriman interests,
desire to go on record IN the strong
est possible mannhr possible by say
Ing that there Is absolutely no truth,
directly or indirectly in the state
ment.
The issue between the city of Sa-
lem and the Portland, Eugene & East
ern-Welch Interests is limited exclu-
sively to these lines and involves
what the city deems direct violation
and breach Of franchise, the reasons
therefor being set out in the COM
plant now on file in the records of the
circuit court. The time has ceased
when any corporation enjoying fran
chise rights, carrying with It obliga-
tlons to be performed on its part, can
perslstently violate the plain terms
of It's obligation to the city, refuse to
carry out an expressed agreement and
generally hold the administration in
contempt. This franchise was most
iniquitous one, and discredits the off,
cials who lent their assistance which
resulted in its passage, and the soon
er that Welch and his entire outfit Is
cleaned out of town the better II will
be for Salem. The streets OF Salem
are a most valuable asset, and II is
right and proper that railroads and
more railroads should come into our
midst TO build up the community and
add wealth to It's people, but all eff
forts directed towards granting fran
chise rights to paper railroads" or
promotion outfits" should, and will
be frowned upon so long as | am at
the head of the administration.
The present administration has, so
far as / am aware, undertaken TO
perform Its duty, having in mind the
best interests of the whole city, and
II is pure nonsense and buncombe

THEY GOT TOO GAY
AND ALSO TOO WET

Oregon City, Or, Sept. 3.-"Oh, l
hope this never gets into the paper, -
gasped a half-drowned woman this
morning after recovering conscious
ness from being tossed by the rush
ing Willamette for 300 yards below
Clackamas Rapids.
The woman, with two others and
two men, came up from Portland in
the launch Olympic this morning.
They were boisterous with their Sun
day holiday, and passing fishermen
anticipated disaster. The boat left
the channel below the rapids and
grounded, and, after returning to
deep water, a pilot was obtained
from a fishboat. One woman, who
was called Frankie, and one Of the
men got into the boat, which was
towed upstream behind the launch.
They were riding over the crest Of
the rapids when the woman, who
weighs probably 17j pounds, fell out
Of the boat and was carried bobbing
along down stream.
The boat was cut loose and the
launch started after the drowning
woman, who did not recover con-
sciousness until 30 minutes after she
was pulled into the craft. She was
hurriedly wrapped in bathrobes and
the launch departed for Portland
The members of the party refused to
give their names to the fishermen
who assisted in the rescue.

city IS a dead letter, so far as it's OBJ
servance by the company operating
under It is concerned-that is, all
except the p. R. L. & p. Co. The
latter company has a franchise so
worded that the only way 1t can vlo-
late 1t is by not runnings cars once
every half hour on its lines except
the Yew Park line which must main
tain a 12-minute schedule Outside
Of that everything else Is so ar
ranged that If the company does not
do its duty, the city IS permitted to
do It for It. Besides this, the COM
pany is also given the right to build
bridges for the city in spite Of the
council and make the city pay for
them, too, which is nice for the COM
pany.
Besides this, the city council has
seen fit to make It a misdemeanor to
talk In an unlady-like manner to
any Of the companies employees, or
to speak dlsrespectfully of the COM
pany or It's business or management
within hearing distance of its mod
est and diffident cars.
The Salem Water company is wo-
fully derelict in the performance Of
the things required of 1t by it's fran
chlse, but it is, in a measure at
least, excusable for It has been held
up by a hot air deal the city has
given It in relation to the purchase
Of its plant, and so kept from maxi
ing needed and necessary improve
ments.
The telephone company is another
that is not injuring its eyesight
watching its franchise. And in fact.
practically every company doing
business in the city is doing it as
best suits its own convenience re-
gardless Of franchises. am not
kicking at them, but mention the
fact, just to show that peculiar ac-
tion Of the council in jumping onto
Welch. It's none of my pie. Welch
Is a promoter, an exploiter Of public
utilities, from the nature Of his busl-
ness somewhat OF a gambler and he
should therefore be a good loser and
not squeal. Besides there seems to
be little doubt but that he has not
played fair and kept his contract.

Rev. DR.. Hinson, Of Portland, has
served notice on Mayor Rushlight
that he must clean up the city, or the
recall will be invoked on him. But
suppose the mayor does not clean up
the city, that the recall is invoked,
and the mayor wins out? What
would the condition Of the city be
then?
Notices have been posted in Chica-
go ordering the employees Of the ILL
nois Central to strike at 10 o'clock

The horse editor puts the news un-
der the head OF "Smiles" because, so
far in the dispute, there has been
such an everlasting quantity of laugh
ing gas-or laughable gas--or some
other kind.
The old idea that a man who left a
cup at the spring for public use was
benefactor, has gone into the dis
card. 1t seems, in the light of more
recent knowledge, that he was good
hearted old meddler, whose officious-
ness led to dissemination Of all kinds
Of diseases.
When the modern ideas Of sanl-

seems wonderful, in view Of the care

Iron River to Have Orchard

w. B. Clnbine. general man
ager Of the Iron River Lum Der
Company plant at Iron River,
evidently is of the opinion that
the western part of Bayfield,
county is just as well adapted TO
fruit growing as the Peninsula
and this week he placed an order
for 4,5OO fruit trees which will
be set out next spring. Mr..
Clubine owns large tract Of
land on the shores of Lower Pike
Lake and he is now getting a
large strip of land in readiness
for the trees. The trees are to
be set out twenty five feet apart
and will cover about a fifty acre
tract. Mr.. Clublne believes that
a Commercial orchard will pay
in the western part of the coun-
ty and we hope that he is right
in his belief.

Fruit Looks Good

In company with H. H. Peavey
and Ed. PaIansch the writer took q
trip to Bayfield, and vicinity last Sat
urday afternoon in Mr.. Peavey s auto
for the purpose of looking over the
fruit that is being grown in that
section.
All along the road from here to
Bayfield, fruit trees were in evidence
everywhere and looked to be in q
hourishing condition. The trees adj
iacent to WaShburn have not yet
reached the bearing age but many
will be fruiting the coming season.
Since planting all trees in this section
have made wonderful growth which
could not be exceeded anywhere.
Up at Bayfield, and vicinity there
is some orchards where The trees
have reached the fruiting age and
many of the trees this year are load
ed with fruit One place visited that
attracted our attention was the or
chard of Mr.. Turnquist, this side of
BAYFIELD,. Mr.. Turnquist has about
five acres set out to trees and they
are about eight years and bearing
heavily this season. The orchard
contains the Wealthy, Duchess,
Northwestern Greening and the Wolf
River variety in the larger apples,
and many varieties of crabs. The
apples on the trees were well formed
and the trees looked thrifty, but
showed that they lacked spraying and
we were told by the farmer in charge
that the trees, to his knowledge, had
never been sprayed, but that it was
the intention to spray Systematically
next season. Some of the trees also
needed pruning.
The trees were set out sixteen feet
apart each way and the ground was
kept well cultivated, not weed or a
spear of grass to be found in the or
chard. The fruit was delicious, and
Mr.. Peavey obtained some of each
variety for display.
