FRIEND OF PROGRESS.

Dear Editor; | should like to take
the opportunity Of making one or two
remarks in regards to something | have
observed these two months have been
in Salem. Why is it that some of the
people here are inclined to discourage
New Corners. | know Of two families
personally, that had planned for years
to come to Oregon, but upon arriving
here they meet with so many discourage
ing remarks that they became dis.
satisfied and wrote friends and rela
tives not to come, that they was com
ing back. They were people of means
and | am satisfied would have made
good citizens. We advised them not
to get discouraged. They asked me
why they say so many discouraging
things are they jealous Of new com.
ers. ] said no, / cannot think so, |
love the west and want to love the
people. Think it is more from force
Of habit and thoughtiessness.
Several ladies have remarked to me,
"we don't trade very much in Salem,
we send away and have things sent
parcel post" Why not trade in Salem
Here are some things | have observed:
Salem merchants assure you always of
courteous treatment, prompt delivery,
better goods at the lowest prices; they
advertise in two of the best papers
printed in Salem; they sell under the
guarantee, just as advertised or your
money back. Salem merchants aim ia
buy the best goods and sell at the
lowest possible prices; Salem stores
contain no shop worn or musty goods
has plenty of stores and courteous
clerks, which makes 1t a pleasure tc
shop. People coming to Salem will
find il best to do their shopping here
because they can find from pin to o
fine automobile at the lowest prices
Ladies will find amusements at pop
ulor prices, and may travel about with
out being molestcd, which makes it
pleasure to trade in Salem. / have
found that the merchants cater to The
poor, middle, aud rich class alike; it II
best for those living in Salem to buy
at home because il circulates the none,
in their own city saves the stores from
bankruptcy and gives employment an,
enables the merchants to keep fresl
goods, which you would not get il yol
did not trade in Salem; IL also teache
our children to be loyal citizens; it /
best to buy at home and in Salem be
cause il is the leading city in tn
Willamette Valley, has an idea
climate, prints two Of the best news
papers, and its merchants believe i
buying and selling at the loves
prices,
Railroad and Electric roads enterin
Salem daily from surrounding towns
people living in those places will say
money by buying in Salem, and ais
see this thriving little city on tn
beautiful willamette river, Let us a
try and give the stranger glad han
IL we cannot say something good d
like the real estate man did that sol
, us farm; he takes us to beautlf'
little place, garden all in, trees all III
Of fruit; he sat down on the fenc
! and smoked cigar and did not say
word, let the place speak for itsel
OF course we fell in love with I'll

TIPS AND WAC

THE excuse for liberation of the
tipping system has commonly been
that walters, porters, and other ser.
wants are paid such low wages that
they must have liberal tips in order
to live. With this in view, many
men nowadays in city restaurants
hand out a half dollar tip. The travel,
ing salesman or impecunious traveller
who can't play the game on this level
is subjected TO many annoyarc=s.

Tying before the Industrial Relations
committee the past week, reported
very liberal wages as the result of the
tipping system. One nan said That
his salary was S42.l0 a month, his
tips averaged $500. Other cases
were similar.
Inc average man employed in Pull.

Thus they gain money at the cost of a
loss of independence.
IL the tipping system we're held
down to a reasonable level, It would
not always increase the cost of travel.
II all the customers of the average
hotel should at once stop tipping. the
hotel managers would have to in,

WHAT CARSON DID
WHEN LINCOLN DIED

Recorder Dake was yesterday tell.
ing an old time story of fifty years
ago in Carson City when the word
came that President Lincoln had been
shot. AT that time" said Mr.. Dake.
there were many people living in
the city Who were southern sympa-
thisers but being in the minority.
were careful of their remarks. How
ever, they had become known and
were looked upon with anything but
friendly eyes by the majority. When
the word came of the shooting excite.
ment went to fever heat and the
southern sy~mpathisers were In rather
a precarious situation as had any hot
head have started trouble there would
have been a riot. Later came the
word that Lincoln was dead and the
word was quietly passed around that
every house in Carson City must show
crepe on the door and n sign of
mourning or that house would be de-
molished. At once the federals
commenced the hanging of crepe
upon their door knobs and soon the
city had a somber hue, as those who
were against the union dared not
disobey the mandate and had their
houses draped I'm black. The loud.
est OF the secessionlsts in the city
was the notorious Jack Harris, but
1t was noticed that his house had rhe
most crepe and he appeared to be
th' aaddest Of the many. He had
heard that he was to be the first one

getting out was another matter.
