THE CELEBRATION AT EUGENE.

Il Is pleasurable and suggestive
coincidence that The Capital Journal,
in it's first issue under its new own
ership and management Is called upon
to chronicle an event Of tremendous
import and profound interest to Salem
especially, and generally to all OF
Western Oregon-that is the compile
tlon Of the Oregon Electric to Eu-
gene, the celebration of which takes
place there tomorrow, It is Of Inn
measurable importance, for 1t brings
the Capital City in close touch, not
only with the thrifty, hustling young
giant of a city, the present terminus,
but also links It closely to the grow
ing communities and the rich and pro-
life territory of the upper Willamet-
te valley, one of the richest and most
favored valleys on the continent
This means much to Salem, in the
broadening and extension Of her
trade, and in the cementing Of the SOL
cial, as we'll as business interests al
ready existing, and which will be in
creased unlimltedIy by bringing the
people Of the valley in closer touch
with each other,
Salem welcomes the event as anOth-
er vast stride toward her future great
ness, and, while a goodly portion Of
her citizens will be in Eugene cell
ebrating with her people the compile
tion Of the road, she at the same time
gives notice that her latch string Is
out TO each and all along the new line,
and invites them to take advantage Of
the new road and come up, visit US
and get n regular neighborly back
door acquaintance, so they can feel
that they can come in any time with
out knocking, and feel at home. Ar
rangements have been made for
special train from here tomorrow,
that will get Salem folks there in
good time, and bring them home about
1890. Salem owes 1t to herself, as
well as her neighbor, who celebrates
the event, to be thoroughly represent
ed Every business man who can pos
sibIy do so should be of the party,
and all, whether in business or not
should go down and join in making
the event in every way a memorable
one.
Salem, better than any other place,
can testify to the immense benefit
that followed the completion of the
road to this point, and, while she joins
in celebrating with her neighbor the
coming Of so great factor in her
development, and does II unselfishly,
yet she realizes that It is an event Of
as great Importance to her as to the
Queen City at the head Of the valley
and so realizing not only the con-
tingent in Eugene, but those who
were unable to go, will be tomorrow
as enthusiastic over the event as the
most optimistic Eugene booster.

SALEM THE RAILROAD CENTER.

While celebrating the completion of
the Oregon Electric to Eugene, It Is
proper to consider the railroad situa-
tion as It concerns Salem Events
have followed so closely on each 9TH
er's heels here In the last few years
that It is hard to keep in touch with
them. 1t Is but short time since the
Oregon Electric reached Salem, a
matter Of months only since II passed
on and brought us in touch with wide
awake Albany and tomorrow the link
to Eugene will be rivited. II Is but
short time since the Dallas, Falls Cit,
a. Western completed its line to West
Salem, bringing that rich section and
vast timber belt in touch with us.
Now, day by day. the big steel bridge
over the Willamette is being rushe,
to completion, and almost before we
are aware Of Il, trains will be run
ming into Salem over this road. Long
before this is done, however, the
branch line to- Fir will be completed.
In fact, II Is expected this road will be
finished this week This brings
wonderfully rich section, heretofore
cut off from trade relation with Sa-
lem, in close touch with u.s. It brings
the Waldo Hills the great future APP
pie orchard Of Western Oregon, to our
doors Already the adaptability Of this
section to apples has been demon
strated and experts in that line are
enthusiastic in the expression Of their
faith in It's future Indeed they proph-
esy for Waldo Hills apples u reputa-
tion at least equal to that Of Hood
River, and that is saying much. One
firm, the Waldo Hills Orchard COM
pany managed by the A. c, Bohrn-
stedt Co., Is setting out thousand
acres to orchard principally apples.
and in fact has some 500 acres al
ready set to young trees. While this
is the largest single tract in that sec
tion, there are hundreds of smaller
orchards set out, that in a few years
will be sending their products East,
and pouring stream of Eastern mon

COUNTY FUND
LAW FOR The
HIGH SCHOOLS
SUPERINTENDENT OF
SCHOOLS WRITES COVERING
THE MOTlVE AND EFFECTS or
THE COUNTY FUND LAW.

Under our present plan Of support
ing the high schools by district tax,
all Of the vast timber lands Of the
county and much Of the property of
railroads and other corporations are
not taxed for high school purposes.
Under the county fund law all Of this
property would be taxed its just share,
The fund law provides that for the
first twenty pupils in the school, each
pupil would draw $40; for the next
twenty pupils in the school, each pu-
pill would draw $50; and each pupil
above forty would draw $3.50; thus,
It will be seen that the small schools
with from twenty to one hundred pu-
pills receives more money in proper"
ton to the number of pupils than a
large school with five hundred pupils,
The law favors the rural schools,
bringing high school advantages near
er to the boys and girls in the country,
and thus taking away the excuse of
the farmer of moving to the larger
centers to educate his children.
l trust that you will be willing to
print in the next two or three issues
of your paper, letters from superin-
tendents, business men and patrons in
counties where this law has been in
operation for from one to four years.
Thanking you for many past favors,
| am, Yours very truly,

OREGON LEADS, AS USUAL.

Oregon leads the world in every
thing from babies to potatoes Her
latest thing in this line is q freak ac-
dent, that she defles the world to du-
plicate. Lawrence Martin of Glen
dale, was walking in the woods Sun
day, carrying some 30 cartridges in
his pants pocket. Here is where the
freak comes in. A bullet fired by a
hunter struck that pocket of Law
rence's that contained the cartridges,
and exploded number of them. The
pocket was not only ruined, but Law
rences leg was filled with pieces of
brass shells, bullets and burned pow
der. He was taken to Glendale in an
auto, and the doctors put in an hour
or two grubblng out the debris. The

Supt. Schools, Marion County
SUPT. JACKSON OF LINN SAYS
THE FUND LAW IS A SUCCESS

In reply to your request relative to
the fund law, which has been in oper-
alton in this county for the past four
years, may | briefly state in answer
to your letter that the consensus of
public opinion, after a trial of four
years, is strongly in favor of the law.
1t has proved to be a step in favor of
the interests of the masses of the peo-
pie and more especially to the rural
communities All classes Of property
is assessed to create a fund and in
this county the tax has not exceeded
one mill for maintenance fund. We
have sixteen high schools organized in
the county and one other being Or
ganized by combining nine districts,
however, the law may be applied to
either the single district or to the
union Of districts. The rural high
school Is a promoter in every sense of
the word as 1t holds people in the
country who would move to town and
1t, also, brings the high school in
reach Of many poor people who could
not give their children high school
privileges

When. learning of pur- suit, they came to A place near Luce daSe.

TURKEY RECONSIDERS
HOStilities Continue Between Turks and Greeks in EpirmS-Pre-

! London, Dec. 14.-DevelOpments fa- 1 vorable to the restoration of peace ill the Balkans continued today. The

 hundred of them for home. It is also reported that the triple
 alliance has agreed to send 90,000 sol | diers to DurazzO and BalOna.
