We never heard any person say Unit pears couldn't be raised In the Willamette vnllcy, but for fear of Mmo such remark, tho Baker Citv Ilevcille remarks that L. B. Geer went Into its office, proud as a school boy, and showed the editor a pear that his mother had sent him irom Salem. His sample, which grew on a tree now 40 years old, weighs 2 pounds and measures 10 inches in circumference. Mr. Geer says that he has seen 4-pound pears plucked from tho same tree. Think of It, ye inhabitants of the East, where it takes a dozen pears to fill and if you vou can, at can't a boy's pocket, come to Oregon, you can, at least, be thankful that you live in a land where your children can play in tho orchards without fear of being ehrushed to a death by an apple or pear falling on them. The lcorlas Score a Saccess. Itlchard & Pringle's Minstrels were erected at the New Park last night by tho largest audionco which Las been in tho house for a long time, and one which proved to be demonstrative enough to wako the echoes for blocks around. Tho curtain rose upon an admir ably arranged first purt, which in troduced new and pleasing features in that branch of minstrelsy. Billy Kcroand amply sustained his repu tation in the front rank of colored minstrels, his specialties being heartily encored. Tho Malloy Brothers proved an excellent support. The closing number, "The Lime Kiln Club, " abounded with new and laughable specialties, particular ly those of Gcorgo Jackson as Sen ator Bruce. Oregonian. This celebrated company will np- Iear In Salem on Saturday evening of tills week. j. u. LOONEY. Is one of Marion county's repub lican Senators, and a resident of tho city of Jefferson. Our subiect is a gentleman well and favorably known all over this country. Ho came hero from Missouri in 1843 or 1844 and settled on what is known as the "old Looney farm." He was quite a small boy when his parents came to Oregon. He remained on tho old farm until ho married and then moved to an adjoining place. Mr. Looney is a gentleman esteemed by all. has served one or two terms as 1 county commissioner and nas just served his first term as Senator from this county. How well he did his work is known by all. Ho Is an earnest worker and takes pride in being present whenever the Senate is in session. Wo would not be surprised to see Mr. Looney returned to tho Senate next term as he stands very high In tho estimation of all his friends. NEARING THE MARK. Only Two Thousand Dollars More to Raise for Woolen Mills. halem, lllUmook & Astoria. The following interesting item of railway news is taken from tho ISn glneorlng News of New York, date of Feb.

The opiHiuonts are a strong society, hav ing among its members such bright talent as lion. T. T. Geer and others.

Sunday was tho ninth anniversary of tho establishment of tho Indian nchool at Chcmawa and on that day a celebration of tho anniversary was conducted. The scholars listened to addresses or themselves dollvered orations, rendered music, etc. The day was pleasantly spent. Two Iterlrals at Once. With Mason Long at the M. E. church and Burke and Studd at the Presbyterian church, all engaged in tlie work of Evangelism, Salem lacks nothing in a religious sense. Following so closely after tho labors of Moody, Malloy, and others, surely tho result of these meetings should bo great. Burko and Studd will remain in Salem during the entire week, with meetings held each afternoon and evening. Tho attendance and in terest In them continues to in crease. Their plan, though not a now one, is very popular. They proceed much the same as did the great Moody and Sankey in the years of their joint services. Mason Long, the converted gam bler, gavo a very Impressive talk to a very largo audience at tho M. E. church last night. His manner is pleasing and he succeeds in holding the strictest attention of his hearers. Ho remains hero and talks again to night. SUNIEJ1E C0UKT. Sai,ksi, Feb. 20, 1880.

It is not only for this one establishment that we are working, but with it will come others. It will give us prestige and soon we can com mand many other Important manu factories. See that your name is written there. An Ante-Revolutionary Relic, We suppose the oldest bit of writ ing in Salem was handed us this morning by A. T. Yeatou of this place. It is a power of attorney made by one Peter Pray, an old of ficial in some of the colonial wars and appointing Moses Yeaton of Somersworth, Province of New Hampshire, his attorney, etc., dated June 20, 1755, dulysignedand sealed and acknowledged before Jas. Han- Bon, justice of tho peace. This un doubtedly genuine relic looks as fresh as though made ten years ago. Yet what mighty changes have oc curred since it was written; what wondrous events have dawned upon this modem life. Five times almost have all the human occupants of this globe been gathered under ground, and yet this bit of paper re tains its fresh, lively appearance as though the hand that traced the letters on it were still joined to a living body. "What shadows we arc." Tho Moses Yeaton mentioned was tho great grandfather of A. T. Yeatou of Salem and the document has descended regularly from father to son. It has been stolen on sover- la occasions, but each time wae covered. FARMERS' INSTITUTE. LOCAL SUMMARY. than 100 Unl- There aro more tarians in Salem.

Among readers of Biblical litera ture ancient and modern, thero is almost a universal conviction that the Bible is not what it has been thought to be. Unfortunately, most men who have gone to the public upon this qtiestlou havo concerned themselves much more with opinions than with things, aud havo accordingly done much more to establish atheism and uguostlclsm than they have to es tablish faith aud work.
