Some people would preter to hear of your ill luck than of your good fortune. . Absence makes tne neart grow fonder, and its so much cheaper than presents. Thnra are a lot of funny things in this .world including patent smoke-consumers. If the fashions do not change in heaven women will find it exactly monotonous. Politicians would cease to roost on the fence if the voters were all on one side of it.

HONEY TO SPEND Manager Calvin Allowed 3,000 000 To Expend On Oregon Lines Within a Year. Oregon Receiving Attention The State Hai Never Known Before. New Railroad Regine. The announcement by Manager Calvin that 13,000,000 is to be ex pended by tbe Harriman lines in Oregon within the next year, is a welcome bit of news. It is a fact patent to all, tbat the Southern Pacific division of the system had been neglected under the old regime. Under the esti mateor expenditures for the en suing year 148 miles of new 80 pound steel rails will be' laid on Southern Pacific lines north of Ash lmd. One hundred and ten thousand dollars will be spent in ballasting 83 miles of the Southern Pacific track north of Ahland. The work will not be done in one stretch, but will be scattered over the Oregon territory as is needed and will in clude all unballasted track between Portland and Ashland. The old wooden trestles of both the Southern Pacific and the O. R & N. are being replaced with new and strictly modem steel struct ures, and during the year many of these old bridges will be torn down and the steel ones put in their places. These repairs will put tbe Harri man roada in Oregon in better con dition than they have eyer been before. Extension of certain lines is also contemplated. It is the pur pose of the company to complete the improvements outlined before another winter sets in. .The expenditure of this amount of money in the state will be an impetus felt in business circles. It furthermore is a source of encour agement that a great railroad sys tem is convinced that Oregon is a field worthy of development and that it is to have more considera tion than in the past. With i hearty co-operation of the Harri man system, Mr. Markham's words that "Oregon is the best advertis ing proposition in the whole coun try" will soon be verified." Salem Mans View. Editor West Side Enterprise: The proposition to' connect Salem and Independence by rail way has been one long before the people of the two towns, and still the air is full of rumors and dis cussion. There is one thing, how ever, that should be remembered bv the business men of both Inde pendence, the Polk county hop center, and Salem, the state Capi tal, and that is that simple talk will not carry this proposition to its fruition. .'The way to resume special payments is to resume" said a great financier. The way to build railways is to build them. The way to build the Salem Independence railway is to get tbe unoccupied capital of the two cities interested. There is lots of it lying idle. The uninvest ed profits of the last hop crop of Independence and Salem alone would more than build the road. And it would be a wise invest ment of the money. this line will pay. from the day the first train runs over the road. Then why not get at it, those who have capital, and help those who are anxious to do the work. The cost will be slight and the road would mean much lor both Salem and Independence.' Lets build it One Interested A Demand For Hop Itoeta. There is an unusal outside de mand for hop roots this fall. The demand is mostly from a brewery association of California and from tbe east. Locally there is some buying and telling among neighor hood bop growers but there are not many roots to be had in this vici nity for outside markets. "It will take $10 a thousand to buy hop roots here" remarked a grower this week. Wednesday's Ukuo of the 8alem Statesman says: Schuckiug & Durbin purchased the George Bayne lot ot hops, con sisting of 125 bales, at 30 cents per pound. Mr, Bayne previously sold his Polk county hops but the lot sold yesterday was grown on his Marion county yard. It waa repor ted laet bvenin? that H. A. Corno yer of this city, had purchased the G. M. Fry lot of 131 bales, from Aurora, for 31 cents per pound. A. J. Luce of Portland, has pur chased the Stott lot in Yamhill countv for 31 cents per pound. Other dealers have been active, so it may be seen from this that the talk of a stagnant market does not come from good sources although most buyers are working : witbou being supplied with definite orders at this time." The Exchange & Hop Warehous es Limited, London reports: Tbe steady demand continues, but most ly for middle class hops which are now being disposed of pretty freely at hardening rates all the old and lower qualities having been sold some time ago. Growers expect to realize better prices for their best qualities , than at present quoted. A further advance is re ported on the continental markets CHRYSANTHEMUM FAIR Ladies of M. E.
