Some Snggcstions to tho Board
Trade. Why not Turn it Over
to tho State ? Im
prove It.
of
It is the opinion that the coming
legislature will make liboral appro
priations of money to be expended
in finishing the state capitol
building, and In beautifying the
grounds surrounding the institution.
An attempt has been made in the
past to have WHIson's avenue added
to the capitol grounds, but the
movement hi.s met with opposition
from the citizens on account of the
peculiar wording of the deed award
ing the property to the city of Sa
lem. This deed only gives the
property to this city so long as tho
city shall use it as a public park, and
gives Salem no power to make a
transfer of the property at all.
It is evident that so long as the
matter rests with the citizens and
corporate government of Salem,
nothing will bo done to improve
this beautiful square. The "Wlllson
heirs once tried to recover this prop
erty from tho city, but failed. They,
therefore, are aware that the proper
ty can never revert to them, as the
city will never do anything to
weaken the title. It is thought,
though that upon a proper presenta
tion of the case to them, they would
waive all claim to the property if
asked, and then the property could
be transferred to tho stato to bo kept
as public grounds.
At least would it not be a good
idea for tho board of trade to appoint
a committee to confer with the city
council, and the Wlllson heirs, and
see what can bo accomplished to
wards securing transfer of this squaro
to the management of the state.
The scheme is known to have friends
in the legislature, and if it were
pushed to successful consummation,
there is no reason why tho grounds
surrounding the capitol building of
Oregon should not be as creditable
to that institution as are those of
any state.
Tho present grounds surrounding
the capitol building are too narrow
and contracted for such an institu
tion, and tho city of Salem should bo
willing to give her right to that pub
lic square so long as tho state cannot
nor will not take it away, nor de
stroy it, but only fix it up for the use
of tho good people of the city. Tho
Journal hopes that the next meet
ing of the Board of Trade which oc
curs on the first Tuesday of next
month, will see fit to delegate a com
mittee of its members to look into
this matter, and give them power
to secure a release from tho Wlllson
heirs, and to present tho matter to
tho Marion county members of tho
legislature.
-The
Electric Light Dynamos.
A telegram to Prof. Kietli, tho in
ventor of the electric light system
in u&e in this city, to whom the dy
namos damaged in the recent fire
were sent to bo repaired, brought to
Mr. Holman tho intelligence that
the dynamos had not reached San
Francisco on Saturday evening.
Thoy were on tho trains that suffer
ed delay during the recent washouts
on the O. & C. R. R., and have
likely reached San Francisco by this
time. It is not known just how
long it will take to repair the ma
chines, but Mr. Holman will have
his lights running as soon as possible.
And in tho meantime, only ono
lone policeman guards tho destinies
and property of between five and
six thousand people between the
hours of 7 p. m. and 0 a. in. Truly
this must be the millennium, when
ono policeman or night watch
man is sufllcient for a city of the
sizo of Salem.

Loft Salem at 2:15 o'clock "Wed
nesday afternoon on tho Silverton
stage, and after a three hours' ride
through a lovely section of country,
i arrived at the picturesque city of
Silverton. Crops along the road
wore never surpaed, and promise
an abundant yield. On Salem aud
Howell prairies I noticed some
magnificent fields of wheat. If the
farmers had cut their hay before the
last rain, they would now have a
second crop to deal with. T. F.
Walker, whose farm is about four
miles from Salem, lias a field of
potatoes, thirty acres in extent,
which is looking fine aud is well
cared for. He will have a big yield.
m. itosc nas something near
twenty acres planted to the same
crop.
W. Foshay has built a lino resi
dence on his place, four miles from
Silverton. His hop yard is looking
well and will yield handsomely.
Peter Bowcn, whose place is near
Jjoshay's, also has several acres of
hops. Swartz's mill on Young
Pudding river, and Johnson's mill,
on Old Pudding, are botli at work
sawing lumber.
Three Chinamen have rented
about forty acres of Coolidgo and
McClaine, of Silverton, near the
Bethany church, and have gone
into tho potato business. They
expect to dig over 200 bushels to the
acre, and have sold their entiro crop
to Portland speculators for 2o centa
per bushel. These Celestials are not
lacking in enterprise.
H. D. Mounts, formerly in the
Salem chair factory, has been quite
ill on his farm adjoining Silverton.
His many friends will be pleased to
learn that he is improving, though
but slowly.
Discart Bros, have completed a
kiln of 100,000 brick, and are now
burning the same.
Schomaker & Fishburn, of Salem,
