B II ini DR0PPRD OUT ? One would think to read the advertisements of some of the merchants that this is a very poor place to do business in. They are continually SELLING OUT AT COST. How do the keep up? Are they supported by charity, or are they and their advertisements frauds? , Hear Salem is a prosperous and growing city, and all its merchants are doing well and making money, and any right-minded man knows that wlien a a morchant advertises to sell "at cost," that it is always at what it "costs the buyer." Men do not go into business for fun or for their health, but tomako money. The Capitol Adventure Company never advertise to sell off at cost, yet we are constantly 20 to 30 per cent, lower than any other houso in Salem. Why? Because we buy from first hands and for cash, and get our goods cheaper. Now duriug the months of January ar.d February only we propose to reduce our prices on all good and show the people of Salem and the surrounding country how we can SELL GOODS and not "Sell at Cost Either, but actually make money at follews: -O- Clark's Coats', Kerr's or Brook's spool cotton, white and black, per spool 2J cts All kinds, 100 yds, silk, perspool 5 cts Carpet tacks 2c pe rpackago A large line ludies', Misses and Childrens' gloves 10 cts A large line of corsets worth $1.25 reduced to 50 cts Good lead pencils, per doz. 10 cts A good Scrubbing Brush. 10 cts Good Steel and Silver Thimbles, each 1 ct All kinds needles, per pa- 3 cts All kinds ot Silk Button Hole Twist, each 1 ct All kinds of Dress Buttons, some that aro actually worth $1.00 per doz; per dozen Sets All colors Zephers, single, per oz 3 cts Good Spring Clothes Pin per doz 3 cts Good Lunch Baskfct,small- 10 cts Good Pick Handles 10 cts Good Axe Handles 10 cts Nice China Matting, good. 12J cts 7 Pes.

A Corporation to be Tormed to Sup plant the Trust. Cleveland, O., Feb. 0. The whiskey trust representing a capital of more than $30,000,000 lias thrown up the sponge and will resolve itself into an every day corporation in fear of Inimical State legislation. The proposed reorganization was hinted among local bankers and simulators yesterday, and Mr. War ren Corning one of the trustees of tho gigantic organization, admitted last uight that proxies were being becured fjr the change. Tho legislatures of the various states have passed laws ho severe upon tlw trusts that the Whiskey Ti list has called a meeting of Its holders of certificates to be held in Peoria, 111., February 11th, to con summate the proposed change from atiustton giant company incor porated under the laws of Illinois. Recent legal decisions betrlng on tho nfifairs of the Sugar Trust have had a great deal to do with the proposed change. The technical name of tho trust is tho Distillers' and Cattle-feeders' Trust. Mr. Corning of this city is one ot the nine directors. Ho says that at present tho trust is open to adverse legislation from any of the states in which its distilleries are situated, and fuming this, a meeting at Peoria was called for the purpose of recogni tion. Undtir tho now order of things the company will bnly have the state of Illinois to fear. KILLED IIEK SISTER. Tied the Rube to a Ton's Tail Hiul Drove it to Death. Paris. Feb. 6. A horrible crime was committed in a provincial town to-day. A girl of 10 j ears was walk ing in the fields with her little sister, aged 2.

The tiny victim uttered piercing shrieks which grow fainter as the cow galloped madly on. Tho girl weut quiely home and related her ndveuture gleefully. Several Hours afterwards the cow Was found miles away with a shape less mass of human flesh dragging at her heels. THE NEW ELECTRIC OFFICES. An Interview With President Knight On tho Uridgo Question. A Journal reporter sauutered into tho new1 offices and waiting rooms of the Electric railway ou corner of Liberty and State streets. The carpet man of J. II. Luun was present superintending laying down a choice style of Brussels inside the heavy rails, and allncolum center. The offices are 23x40, with storage and supply rooms in the rear, tak ing up the whole floor. The offices are nicely furnished all around, will bo electric lighted and are a credit to tho company and city. Presi dent Knight was a very much pleased mail nl tho progress things were making and said they would get their desks moved iu within a week. Tho Electric are doing everything on a generous plan, from offices to track,and they will furnish the motive power for a great deal of the wonderful transformation that the capital city will undergo in tho next few years. President Knight is somewhat of a new coiner. He drove an ox-team through thirty-soven years ago from Van Buren county, la., and has been identified with Oregon in terests ever since. With his talented companion they conduct the State Institution for the deaf and dumb at SaL'in. For many years a preacher, President Knight was al ways a clean-handed rustler, and of course (ho reporter had to extract an opinion on the Bridge questien: PRESIDENT KNIOHT'S IDEA. I ttiu in favor of a joint stock com pany of say $100,000 capital to build a railroud and wagon bridge, and charge toll enough to pay a moder ate rate of Interest for say ten years. Let the two counties of Polk and Marlon and tho city of Salem ar range to pay off at the rate of $10,000 a year, and at tho end of ten years let it be a frco bridge to tho public. I am not prepared to say how much each should pay, I cannot see out what it would benefit both counties atiout equally. There are so many fields for investments for capital now, I doubt if any capitalist will put money into a free bridge. By the above plan we would get a good bridge that would in the end bo free, and the public would not feel It when they paid for it." Mr. Knight Is very sanguine that ways and hicivoh will bo developed to build a bridge and a good one loo, and before the year is over. - A stock grower affirms that cattle do not relish Imy which they have breathed upon all night, and sug gests that their matuigerH should have an opening Into the feeding alley, In a way to permit them to push out what they do not eat. "A manger of tliU kind Is readily clean ed out, and bran can be fed without boxe," READY TO BREAK GROUND. The Canning Establishment llting Pushed to Practical Results. Tho prompt manner iu which stock was taken in the cannery plant yesterday has set tho hearts of all enthusiastic capital city men to beating high. People crowded the Journal office with demands for information and the observer went abroad for facts. At cannery headquarters ho ac costed Mr. It. S. Wallace. Banker Wallace In a quiet way may bo said to bo one of tho men of ucrvo and action who have done so much to push new enterprises for Salem. This gentleman made a sweeping tour of cities with canneries, in Cal ifornia, Nebraska, Ohio, Illinois and Iowa. He Interviewed tho job bers of large distributing centers as well as the manufacturers, uud fouud two facts predominant. First, owing to freights and tho demands of river and ocean shipping there will be a market on tho Paclficcoast, at good margins of profit, for all tho product a caunery can put out. Sec ond, ho fouud that Mr. Bird, who Is under contract to como and take charge of tho Salem cauuery, has a lino reputation for the quality of his goods among those who handle them. To-day Mr. Wallace sout Mr. Bird u telegram, informing him that tho enterprise was a certainty so far as the capital was concerned, and asking wheu ho could como on, Mr. Bird is conducting a large can nery at Waterloo, Iowa, and his brother Is running one at Exeter Nebraska. Mr. Wallace says it will take about $12,000 to set up the plant and put in tho machinery In running order. That will leave tho company $8,000 to operate with. As soon as Mr. Bird arrives seed will be dis tributed and contracts made for nil the land that farmers near Salem can be luduced to put Into caunery truck. The location of tho cannery will be uear to tho evaporator works and steam will bo furnished from that factory. Tho number of hands employed hi tho factory will depend on tho amount of land that can be contracted to be planted to corn, peas, beans, tomatoes and blackberries. The company intend also putting up all the cherries and Bartlett pears they can get iu season. Mr. Wallace says there is no limit to tho amount of laud that can bo cropped to these articles, as the factory that will bo put up will work 200 hands, and 000,000 cans Is a season's work. If the truck farmers will respond tho capacity can be doubled for noxt season. Tho prices paid cast aro $5 a ton for corn suapped oil in tho huik. The stalk is left to (ho farmer for fodder or onsilage. Tho uniform price for tomatoes is 25 to 30 cts. u bushel. Quito a largo tin can fac tory must bo operated In connection with the works. A Good Idea This morning In making the rounds of tho city a Journal reporter was approached by W. W. Martin who suggested tho Idea of tho city going to work uud taking tho two spans of the big bridge apart that have lodged at Kaiser bottom, and bringing it tuck to the city and constructing bridges across tho Mill creeks hero in the city. Tho Idea is u good one, and the cost of doing this would cer tainly bo nominal. The largest span that floated away wts 274 feet In letb, and the timbers are compar atively uninjured. Probably some such action will be taken in the matter. It has been suggested tliut the churches take up a collection next Sunday for the benefit of tho flood Biiflcrcrs, but upon Inquiry wo learn that happily no one is at present In distress. Many of tho heaviest losers are well to do persons, while among the rest but low have been iu need, and Mayor Williams in. forms us that they aro now looked after.
