This shows that sales are not confined to former residents of this local ity, but that people are swarming in from tho East to make their homes among us. The business of this company is constantly increasing. More than half of its sales have been made within tho past three months, al though this is a season of the year when sales are usually dull.

Salem Board of Trade and Within the past twelve diys it lias paid for and contracted for advertising to tho amount of Over Fifteen Hundred and Twenty-Five Dollars, The second edition of the company's pamphlet descriptive of Salem and the Willamette Valley is now in press. This is an edition of TWENTY THOUSAND COPIES Of a beautifully illustrated fifty pago pamphlet. We cannot advertise so extensively in our homo papers as wo wish, for tho reason that parties whom we most desire to reach are residents of the Eastern States, where these papers do not circulate. Wo do not advertise every sale we make in the local press, but we have advertised in more than ONE THOUSAND PAPERS In tho East, as wo depend upon Eastern buyers for tho great bulk of our patronage. During tho next few months our advertisements will bo read by millions of readers of Eastern newspapers, who will thus bo placed in direct communication with us, and nearly all of those who come to this cast will como ticketed for the office of THE OREGON LAND COMPANY. For these- reasons parties deslriug to sell will find it to their interest t place their lands in tho hands of this compauy. If you wish' to ' Sell property leave it where BUYERS COME TO BUY If you wish to buy property como where property is left for sale, neighbors have land and don't want to buy. EASTERN PEOPLE DO.

A Nlokol'8 Journey of it Day. A Philadelphia Record reporter took tho mighty trouble ono day last week to trace tho journey of a nickel ho marked and spent for a cigar. Soou a howling dudo got it in change for a package of cigarettes he bought, and invested it in a lunch cafe. There it went to a little rag ged newsboy who almost outran the reporter and jumped on a street car where he gave it in change to an old gentleman; who gave it to a street vender after ho got oil tho car. The fruit man turned his back and a sneak thief grabbed it with a handful of other change and disap peared in tho crowd. Down street the thief chucked two nickels into tho tin cup of a poor blind woman who was grinding musio out of a wheezy musio box, and then turned into a beer shop. Tho reporter wish ing to learn if the marked ono was in tho cup softly lifted itand saw tho hunted coin when tho blind woman opened her two bead like eyes and fumed with rage. Just then a drunken brawler kicked over tho music box, pocketed tho money and hastily boarded a car paying it to the conductor who gave it to a young girl who went to a big dry goods houso got on a scale to weigh nerselt, dropped tlie iuckoi into a slot where it finally disappeared for tho day. Our Tlilnkui'H. Tlie average human brain weighs 40 ounces In tlie male, and about 45 ounces in tho female. Cuvier's brain weighed 04 ounces, but Oambetta's brain weighed less than tlie average woman's brain which is peculiar because of Ills great intellectuality. Great brain weight is not always associated with Intellectual vigor, as is shown in the fact that an idiot Is known to have had a brain of over 00 ounce in weight. Ex. A Mother Wanted.

President Per kins of tho "Q," road ridicules tho j idea that subordinate officials arc re- sponsiblo for frequent demoraliza tion of rates. If there is any blam to bo attached to railroad managers It belongs, ho says, to tho head and not to tho subordinates. That man agers are anxious to maintain rates ho docs not think there is any ques tion. Ho thinks some way must be found to niako a division and to pay tho weak lines, and if this cannot bo dono without tho help of con gress that help must be obtained or railroad property will continuo to suffer until tho weaker lines are worn out and sold to' tho stronger at half their cost. It Is Perkins' opin ion that if tho railroads were left free to work out their own salvation they and tho public would faro bet ter. Ouo Aloro Trust. CiiiCAao, Feb. 14.
