Weuudorstand thattho authorities at the asylum are contemplating tho purchase of a fruit dryer, for the umj of that institution, which seems to us to bo n most excellent idea. In this connection we dosiro to call their attention to the Orogon dryor, hii advertisement of which will bo found elsewhere In this paper. This dryer is recommended by such men as Dr. J. Reynolds, Ar. 11. Simpson, S. M. Fletcher and Lewis Pettyjohn, f Salem; Soth Luolllng und Daniel Harvey, of Milwaukie; Dr. O. P. S. I'lumnier, C. B. Conifctock.Chauncey Hall and other of Portland, Which hould be a garanteo as to the meritu of the dryer. AVo under ''Und that thoo dryers aro adapted to all kinds of fruit ami vogc UMj and we think an Oregon dryer would bo a most valuable addition to the asylum, as It would likely have to the state several timed iUcoat in a season.

Yesterday Morning's Conflagration Followed by One in the Same Block this Morning. At half past two morning, again the firo belt broke on the this "city of peace." o'clock this clang of the quiet air of Arid again tho intimation was that the blaie was in the third ward. It was soon discovered that the fire was agaiu in the Moores' block and also up stairs and close to the fire of yesterday. Policeman Lake first noticed it, and yelling "lire" with all his might, while Doug. Minto ran to ring the alarm, there were soon enough on hand to extinguish tho Haines. Before the engines, of winch Capital obtained first water, could render service, Lake, H. B. Callahan, John Detriech, AAralter Lowe and Doug. Minto had the Tiger hose attached to the hydrant at the corner of State and Commercial streets and were directing the stream on tho burning wood. It was over Staiger Bros' boot and shoo store, and had burned clear through tho lloor njil ceiling. It could not have caught from any remains of yester day's fire in Dr. II. Smith's dental ollice because a lire wall intervenes. The only stove pipe goes into the brick wall but not near the place, and there is no stove or lamp on the upper lloor where the fire originated. The spot can bo reached by open staircases from Commercial street and tho rear. No theory of accident suggests itself or can bo conjured up. Neither can any reason be assigned for firebugs making both attempts on that paiticular build ing. Our vigilant police are watch ing closely this and tlio other parts of tho city. If needed, a detective will also bo employed. Tho damage to stock in the store caused by water was fully covered by insurance in tho State and other companies. During the excitement a clerk sleeping over the drug store went crashing through the French win dow on to the porch leading to the fire. No damage to the clerk. In From Kansas. Yesterday we mentioned tho re turn of Mr. H. M. Branson, with his wife and child, from Kansas, with the intention of taking up his abode amongst Us. He spent'sevcral weeks in Salem earlier in the season, and purchased sonio property aftcra thorough quest, the conviction being forced on him that this is a desirable country to settle in. He says a fair corn crop will bo gathered in East ern Kansas, two or three copious rains having saved tho grain from the withering eflects of long and in tense heat. But in tho western part of the state the heat and drouth have affected it again, and tho new settlers have another season of dic appolutmeut. Mr. Branson says in tho section he comes from (Green wood county, which borders on tho Indian Territory,) a lively intorest is felt in Oregon, our more equable climate being a great attraction, and the certainty of crops as tho attribute of tho promised land. But Kansas is not going to be depopulat ed Mr. Branson wants it under stood. Tho newspapers of tho state are still resonant witli its unsur passed advantages; the towns and cities aro putting up substantial buildings, and tho westward flowing tide of population still washes over its boundaries. The average Kansan is insensible to discouragement, and will boast of ids climate when parched with sirocco heat, and hoot at tho idea of famino wlillo waiting all day for hi turn at the public well. The Jayhawkors make very doiiirablo citizons, however. HEAVY WHEAT TKA.NSAOTION. The Empire Commission company bought 48,000 biirtholrt of wheat yes terday; paying sixty cents a bushel therefor. This is the largest quan tity pold at one time, and tho best price obtained in Pendleton for many a day. Quite ti number of honest grangers went home smiling and Iiuddv. because they had only expected 58 cents, and hud received 00 per bushel for their golden Krli5 The ooiiipany also shipped 36,000 pounds of wool yealerduy, the clip of J. II. French, to the firm of Christy tt AVke, ban Fmnctseo. East rfregoulau. It will be readily noticed from the above that Salem wheat buyers are able to do better tln that. Over slxty-lx eents wm paid ytertlay liere. AVe are w muoh nearer Uwn Pendleton to Portland and Yaquina, Um slilpnliig ports, and as soon m Uh rlrer rtees a still greater advantage to belters and stiippen will accrue. It Is re ported that Corvallte purchasers are giving 70 eenta. LOCAL NOTES, Circus next Tuesday. Call on AViuters & Thomas for the best groceries in town 1 Painless dental operations at Dr. T. C.

Prof. Arnold is thanked by tho Joukxai. force for a liberal supply of college-bred Gravensten apples of nneappearaueo and excellent flavor. Miss Teresa D'Arcy will open her select school, at tho northwest cor ner of Chemeketa and Summer streets on Monday, September 3rd. No services in the Christian church to-morrow. It is expected that the repairs will bo llnished and the house ready for the follow ing Sunday. At the AVoman's college, tho new dean, Miss Hansee, from New York is expected to-day. At the same building rof. Parvin is repainting and fitting up ids musie rooms in anticipation of large classe. There is no longer anything problematical about tho Oregon Pacific railroad extension. Con tracts.are let and the work is being vigorously pushed towards the Cascades. This means tho expendi ture of a great deal of money, and the opening up of much now country. At the next meeting of the city council, being on tho first Tuesday in September, the place of Aldcr lnaii'llush will have to bo tilled by appointment, as ho has moved his residence just over tho line from third to fourth ward. Ho now occupies tho late Chapman cottage, corner of Ferry and Cottage streets, which ho has bought and improved. T. AV. AVliite, of Hubbard, was in town over night, staying with AAr. J. Herren. He reports crops good, about an equalacreago of wheat and oats. AVhile tho price of the latter is low, the yield is extra. Some new comers and buyers of land aro noticed. Ho thinks there is fruit enough to make a drier profitable, and seconds tho suggestions of tho JoukxaIj that neighbors combine and purchase and run one on the co-operative plan. Sells Itiotbrrs' Circus. By reference to our advertising columns it will bo seen that this most popular of all tho tented ex hibitions will bo with us at an early date. It is praise-worthy and meritorious in each of its depart incuts, and will conunond itself to everybody us a respectable, reliable and artistic exhibition. Tho ful some advertisements of shows in general seldom make good their promises, but with theScllHllrothers tho rule is exceptional, and, although their announcements road like a tale of tho "Arabian Nights," the exhibition always vermes their claims. We speak by tho card, fur tho Sells Brothci-s' show has been hero before, and tho impression left by it, both with tho press und with tho public justifies our assertions. This year it comes to us with Un important augmentation of a Roman hippodrome, presented on an im mense ellipt'c track, on which are faithfully reproduced tho chariot, standing and Roman races of Ciesar's day, in connection with the steeple chases and Jockey races of our modern era. Other important addenda to tho show are the wt.rld famed trapjer, hunter, scout and frontier veteran, ('apt. A. II. Bog urdus, and his four equally remark able sons. Captain Bogardus has been designated by the Indians as "Tho Man AVlio Snoots to Kill," and has general recognition as tho wiz ard rifleman of tho AVost, champion winirsliot of the world and winner of 1,000 contests. Salem, Aug. 23th. Ttf Fruit Traitr. The fruit trade of tills city is ex panding rapidly. Dunbar, Battin, Page and Levy aro giving the sub ject their eloe attention and study, determined to take advantage " every turn of attain to advance the iuterests'of Oregon fruit in the mar ket. And not to be behind, Menu. J. Farrar & Co., of Salem, and other enterprising men tin the valley are taking hold In earnest. Oregon Ilartlett eanarenow being shlpjwd to Chicago by all tliese liouses ; and as soon as the Bartletta are Iiarvest ed, other varieties together with the crop of fall and winter apples, will be taken up, and pushed along to ClileaBO and Miniieaitolis, width uwn t lw the eentml iMriuta for Ore-!

Some people have an idea that the editor of the local pages of a paper Is ubiquitous, that is, that he can be here, there and everywhere at tho same time. They suppose him to have as many eyre as Argus, and ears in proportion, so that noth ing occuriiig wortli public notice escapes his observation. More than that he is supposed to bo something oi a mind reader, and can forecast a great many tilings that people aro planning to do. As to nerves, ncees sua ior sieep or rest, they are sup posed to be quite unneee.-sary. Tills individual also is supposed to be, day and night, like a rat terrier after rodents, running down items.' Aeed it be said that it Is very un fair to expect these impossibilities or, wiiat Is very much the same, to suppose that the paper should con tain notes of all that is going on in town and country unless, many ineiuisiiid in gathering tuo news from many quarters? This is par tU'iilarly so with n paper like the Joi-unai. that circulates botli in city and country. It aims and determines to be specially a newspaper a paper full of news. This department is to tell its readers, without regard to politi cal faith or religious creed, what ever of public interest is going on. Should it be thought best to have red hot partism politics in its columns, that could bo attended to elsewhere than on the local page. Hero a mistake is often made by some reporters and by readers and menus of a paiier. The latter refrain from handing in, and the former from preparing for tho printers, items of news and accounts of doings, because they might not accord with the political prediloe tionsoftlio management, or might not help to swell tho vote of tho standard bearers whoso names ap pear at the head of tho editorial columns. Just :ih well might a photographer refuse to put in his show case photographs that do not suit his taste as to features or style of dress. Jsews columns are sup posed to rellect tho day's doings, and it is not necessarily swearing al iegiance to tho republican, democrat, prohibition, labor or women's rights party, becau.so items of news con corning Harrison, Cleveland, Fisk, Streeter or Bclva Loekwood, are in sorted. Nor can you Judge of the religious tenets of the faith of the proprietors, editors or reporters oi any journal from tho fact that it tells tho world what is being done by Protestants or Catholics, Moth odists, Baptists or Presbyterian de nominations. If a prayer meeting is attended or a sermon reported, it does not follow that the writer is a church member, any more than his stating that odds are oliered in favor of a certain political candidate, norso or Dual, proves liini to be a gambler. Nor is it needful for a local itemierto report everything not in accord with the bias of the paper in a burlesque or Insulting manner. After tills explanatory prelude It is tlmo to say that it will bo an es teemed favor If city and country friends will kindly take tho trouble to send us itomsofnowsofall kinds, duo care being taken to bo strictly ac curate and to avoid personalities. Many tilings devoid of interest to ninety-nine persons may bo Just what tho huudreth wants to see. Send, therefore, all sorts of items, subject to the Judgment of tho management of tin paper, Tho fact that tho Jouii.vai. Is published in Salem does not make it desirable that tho bulk of its news should bo merely of local Interest. It has an Increasing circulation throughout the county and beyond. It is tho intention to treat all lo calities iuiartlally. If short of time or unaeeiutomed to writing for the press, send in the facts, being hlire they are facts, and legibly writ ten and they will Ik) put in projMr ghajw for the printer. Bo sure and give name anil addreas, not neces sarily for publication, hut asevldenee of good faith. We want to hear from every locality in the county. If you meet with anything of nubile Inter and can call you will be always welcome at the ollice. Jatt rrM rallfurnli. Mars. It. It. Fiinbltt ami Jaa.
