Charles Francis Adams, president

this coast inspecting roads in Oregon
and Washington Territory. It is he
of whom people say that, in dog
lays he is so frigid in his nature that
his porch is sought as being sure to
afford a lower temperature than
anywhere else. Perhaps this ac-
ounts for these cool summer days,
Tee flms.
By train, by team, on horseback
and afoot people have been coming
into town since early morning. It
is astonishing how many people
from all parts of both Marion and
Polk counties have busiucss in Salem
to-day. The number of young men
who brought iu their girls to the
show Is beyond ordinary counting.
Some small boys were up by the
wee sma' hours to see the arrival of
the train and the unloading of the
animals and materials and the
erection of the mammoth tents and
side shows. The procession was a
very long one and made a good
showiug with its many four, six and
eight iu hand teams of handsome
horses, tho various baud wagons and
companies of musicians. The six
elephants, the four camel team
drawing a wagon, the diminutive
trick mules, the six Shetland ponies
drawing a wagon, the open cages of
lions nud timers, the clowns, the
lady riders and eque.-triaus, the
s'.c.un calliope and other features too
numerous to name made an impos
ing cavalcade. A frets show at the
grounds drew a large throng .who
were well entertained. The after
noon show took place too late for a
report but was well patronized and
gave good satisfaction. They will
change the program to-night and
give their last performance iu town.
There are' the usual sideshows with
their extra attractions such as the
soldier SJ feet high, the prodigiously,
fat woman, the dwarf, Alabama
minstrels and others. From the.
fact that we noted no complaints in
the Portland or otherJpapors where
it has exhibited, we presumed the
show a good one. The JoritxAi,
can testify that the management
acts fairly and squarely in paying
its bills, and dealing liberally with
the press.
-.
VdT.ince In land Price.
A shrewd business man of this
city gives this good reason for be
lieving that land about here Will ad
vance iu price. The basis of value
In California lands used to be wheat
plus climate. But when its fruit
growing qualities were demonstrat
ed it went up amazingly. Nearly
up to this time the prices here have
been based on the quantity and
quality of grain that could be grown
thereon, and what that would likely
sell for. But now outsiders are
opening their eyes to our good
climate and tho excellent and
abundant iruit our land will pro
duce. And soon the latter will bo
tho basis of value for our soil.
A gentleman who had lately
bought, in Northern California, fruit
lands at very high figures was in
Salem soon after, and finding that
the same fruits could bo raised here
expressed the greatest astonishment
at the low price of real estate. Had
he had his money back, or more to
spend he would have invested here
without delay.
An ExklMt at the New Depot.
Those who have traveled over
the Northern Pucitlo railroad re
member tho store at one of the
depots. It i a collection of beauti
ful and rare birds and animals,
skins, polished bulhilo horns, deer
antlers and curios. It is quite a
mueum, and many who do not
buy, go and tcast their eyes with
the astonishing variety and beauty.
The train docs not stay there long
but the parsengers, as i , common
consent, make their wy to this re
markable collect. i. :i. And it forms
the theme of in i'ch conversation as
the cars move out. This has sug
gested to the writer tho desirability
of lmvinir an exhibit of Marion
county agricultural productions in a
(."suspicious place at our handsome
new depot. The platform will be
large and as the ticket ofllce will be
inside tho building and the baggage
room oil' at one end, there could,
perhaps, be found a good po-ition on
the part of the building facing the
track, for a display. It might con
sist of an ornamental irlass case of
considerable capacity, containing
wheat, (sats, b.sr'ey ami rye in the
ear and in the kernel, timothy and
other graces, srn on the ear, fresh
fruit, such as apples and pears, and
some kinds of vegetables, mi long as
they would keep, and dried fruits
of all kiuiR Cards, telling the
kinds, the yield per acre, weight per
biNhel and other facts might be
placed on some of the products.
Then there should be a plentiful
supply of illustrated and descriptive
literature concerning our cli
mate, soil, capabilities, prices, rain
fall, etc., to which each visitor
might help himself. A striking
sign in largo letters would attract
attention, while any one interested
In our county's prosperity might
direct to it any of tho many persons
who step of! the overland trains for
the time they tarry here and look
around to see all that is isosslble of
the state capital. All of which is
respectfully suggested to the board
of trade, various real estate agencies,
people who have property to sell
and all who have pride in exhibit-
lug our marvelous resources and
advantages.

More Small Fruit Farms.
Dr. H. J. Minthorn member of
the Oregon land company, was in
the Jouuxal ofllce to-day and tell
ing of another undertaking hi
which they have embarked. They
have just concluded tho purchase of
a tract of G78 acres east of Salem
welladaptcd to fruit raising. Their
success in disposing of many small
fruit farms on tho westside, together
with their immense correspondence
on the subject, justifies them in cut
ting tills up into similar moderately
sized pieces. The work has already
begun. A good road will be put
through It and fenced bo that every
subdivision will face a road and
have a good, neat front fence.

B.
Eis. Capital Jeurnal: Somo of
our newspapers afl'ord Interesting as
well as instructive reading. The
Vidette of u late datesays, "a highly
respectablo citizen" had eloped with
a lewd woman from Salem. Per
haps this announcement is the first
intimation the man ever had of
his "respectability." It would ajs
pcar that almost anybody is respect
able, if not "highly respectable."
We are also to infer that the man
was wealfliy. Does It not strike the
ordinary, levelheaded reader that
such terms aro grossly misapplied,
and that such gush Is unbecoming
a public newspaper? P.

Prof. W. E. Yates late principal of
the Independence schools, In recom
mending his successor says "who T
know to bo" etc. This may bo but
a typographical error, tho omission
of an "m" after who. But tho mis
take Is so frequently made of substi
tuting a nominative for an objective
that a simple method of deciding
which Is tho appropriate word Is
here suggested. The sound is a good
guide. By substituting the persona!
pronoun this Is ("isily discovered.
For instance no ono would say "lie
I know" or "I know ho"but"hlm."
So "whom I know," not "who J
know."
