golden opportunities for the energetic,
intelligent, home-building class
Their opinion should have weight,
too, for they, as wide-awake business
men, understand and recognize the i'm
portance, the absolute necessity of
advertising. They know that indi-
vidually they cannot do business sue
cessfully without advertising, and
they would apply their own business
methods to the business Of the state,
The Journal has expressed no opinion
as to the size Of the appropriation,
feeling that the legislators, having
the interest Of the state at heart,
would go to the bottom of the matter,
and would appropriate whatever is
needed to make the exhibit the very
best that can be made. That is really
the only question. How much will 1t
take to make the best showing pos
sIble? When this is answered the
natter is solved, for whether 1t be
100000, $5OO,OOO or more, that is
the sum that should be provided,

"Her playing of the Bach-Busoni
prelude and fugue, in r flat, was a
herculean piece Of work. The fugue
movement was especially well played
and handled in on interesting manner
In view of the youth of the pianist,

Good Roads Lectures.

H. j. Doolittle formerly city engin-
eer at North Yakima, now connected
with the Portland organization Of the
American Society of Civil Engineers,
Is in the city today looking into the
feasibility Of giving lectures in Salem
in the near future on the subject of
good roads. Mr.. Doolittle may appear
before the city council tonight. Next
week he will be in Albany and will
work in conjunction with the conven-
ton of the Oregon Retail Merchants
association. Other meetings next at
Lebanon and Brownsville will be in
collaboration with the Oregon Manu-

be given before the Corvallis students
this week.
Mr.. Doolittle makes a special study
OF the base construction of roads,
Primarily his object in travelling about
the country and lecturing under the
auspices of different organizations is
to boost the use of cement. The mov-
ing picture method is employed by
the engineer in giving his lectures.
During the first week in February
Mr.. Doolittle will be at Washington
state college, at Pullman, for a series
Of lectures before the Eastern Wash
ington farmers institute.

THE GENEROUS "SALEM HOG"
VT has been customary for so long

RT has been customary for so long,
for the state press TO have some
comments about the Salem hog"
everytime an appropriation is made
for maintaining any Of the state insti-
tutions here, that it no longer hurts
much We used at first to get sore
about it, then some of us began to be-
lieve there must be something in 1t,
and began to develop porcine ten
dencles, going almost to the extent Of
getting rubber noses, and roofing with
the other pigs. However, whether she
is a hog or not, Salem is always to
the fore on matters Of public import
ance, and she doesn't stop to see II it
is for her especial benefit, either.
This trait was shown Friday night
when the business men of the city
some rs Of them, enthusiastically
emphatically and unanimously in
dorsed the appropriation Of 100000
for the making Of flrst-class exhibit
for the grand old state Of Oregon at
the Panama exposition.
They did not expect Salem to get a
cent of this money, only indirectly
gust as every other portion Of the
state would get 1t, that is in the re-
suits 1t would accomplish in the way
of bringing home builders and taXpay-
ers into the state, and the bringing In
to productiveness our countless thou
sands of now idle acres, They took
broad view of it-and reasoning that
1t was for the benefit Of the whole
state, expressed their willingness to
be taxed to make the exhibit one Of
which the state may be proud, and
which will also add materially to her
wealth and population
They did not stop to consider wheth-
or the governor was Republican or
Democrat, or whom he would ap-
point to manage the exhibit. They
very probably presumed the governor
IL as deeply mterestly in the welfal
of the state as they, or any other of
its citizens were, and that that part
of the big show was up to him. SO
doing they went on record, and went
on with a whoop, as indorsng the ex-
pending by the state Of 100000 at
San Francisco-showing our wonder
full products, our vast possibilities, and

EDUCATING THE JAPS.

-HE Union Pacific railroad COM
pany maintains an educational
bureau for the dissemination Of
information to its employees This is
in it's own interests as well as those
Of the worlmen. We are in receipt Of
q statement issued by the company
giving in detail its work along these
lines.
We note, however, that the state
ment is headed by what it evidently
considers the most important Of its
undertakings, in this line, the teach
ing of English and railroading to the
japanese. If the road is to employ
japanese, the teaching Of them be-
comes a necessary corollary, but why
employ Japanese? Why not employ
the people who can already speak the
| Language? The roads income is prao-
! tically all of It from English speaking
people, why not then hand out what
work 1t has to the people who pat,
ronize the road? The educating of the
Jap Is all right, but the railroads are
not cleemosynary institutions. and iT
educating the Japs are not doing any,
thing that is peculiarly praiseworthy
for they are doing it to benefit them
| selves,

STATE INSTITUTIONS WANT BIG

TIE MORE THAN THAT SUM.

The ways and means committees Of
the two houses of the Legislature will

for appropriations exceeding $2,S59,-

which have been compiled by the yari-
Gus boards superintendents and insti-
tutional heads.
Some of the institutions will ask for
increased maintenance appropria-
tions. The University of Oregon for
the binennial period coming desires a
biennial increase in its maintenance
appropriation of 100000. That uni
,versity now has a biennial mainte-
nance fund of $25O,OOO, but an annual
increase of $4,000 is asked, which will
bring, if granted, the total biennial
maintenance appropriation up to $780,

SEATTLE AT LAST

After trying for weeks, the local wireless office got in touch with the big new station at Fontleroy Park, Seattle, for the first time last night, when the big station cut it's spark down to a size receivable by the local station. This demon- strates that no difficulty will be experienced in getting Seat tie at all times when the new station is finished and in Oper- alton. The new station is to be 25 k. w., the same as the Seat tie station so it will be able to work through any interference as far as any station ill this region is conserned.

FROM TUESDAYS DALEY IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED

One of the most needed inn provements needed by the city at the present time is railing and cleats on the walk leading from Bawden Street to the Court House along Grant Street This walk is narrow and in frosty weather it is so slippery that any one who is compelled to use it is in great danger If person starts to slip there is absolutely no chance to stop and the walk is high along here which makes it rather dangerous. Especially so to women with babiy carriages.
 This is the only way to get 10 the top of court house hill with vehicle of any kind and the women who live there with small children are seriously handicapped. A number of in- stances have been brought to our attention where lady's go- ing up and down here have
 
 been obliged to receive help from passing men in order to make it at all. This would not cost the city much as the work would be done by the street gang and would be a bi" inn prOvement.

HUMBOLDT MAKES
 HER LAST TRIP

She was in at Yes Bay and loaded a small amount of canned salmon be- fore she reached here which accounts for he being several hours late. She took fifteen first class passengers from this place, they were the con- struction gang who have been doing the work for the Stand : ard Oil Co. As soon as the Humboldt reaches Seattle she will make one trip to San Fran cisco where she will be en- tirely overhauled.

 TRICKS IN ALL TRADES

A time worn adage says there are tricks in all trades. Investigators in the govern ment have found a new one. They announce, in a warning .+a the public, that unprincipl- ed dealers in poultry are in the habit of feeding chickens with red pepper a day or two before they are killed; this makes the chickens have an abnormal ap- petite, and the birds are then given l mixture of fine sand and a little corn meal, which they eat ravenously, and as a result large quantities of sand are introduced into the unfOr- tllnate fowls. "It simply means that the dealers are selling sand to the customer at the rate of 20 cents per pound,' says the investigators. Putting sand in sugar is bad enough. Feeding chickens off sand piles is carrying adulteration entirely too far. Of course the new "industry' is not eXtens- i've, but it's discovery shows how jealous the government authorities are in their effort to prtoect the public from fraud.
