That little item of $$870,435 for public improvements at Sa lem this year means solid, prosperous growth for the Capital City. Many people will have to hustle to meet their payments. But under the bonding system no great hardship will be worked on anyone. Real estate at Salem is quiet at present, but is steadily advancing in value. Business property will feel the greatest impulse of this expenditure of nearly a million dollars. Salem women appreciate the One Cent Daily Journal street sales. Women are close buyers, and can make five cents go as far as most men can two-bits. The habit ot buying the evening paper and reading the news of the day is a growing one. They also know if there is anything live, racy or snappy happening it will be found in the eveningpaper. ' The honor of being queen of the Cherry Fair is more sought for than ever before. It is an industrial festival, and it is right that working girls should compete fo rthis honor. The queen of an industrial event may well be a cherry picker, and a young lady who works at the cannery, in a hotel, store or moving pic ture show is the peer of anything that wears skirts in a demo cratic country, and can wear a royal gown with as much grace as any favorite of the aristocracy. July first the boy that has sold the largest number of Capital Journals on the streets will receive a present of a good pair of shoes. The four next highest sales will receive a fine copper hoop. The sales on the street Tuesday evening reached 253 pretty good for a quiet evening threatening rain. The Capital Journal wants to be an absolutely fair and inde pendent newspaper. It does not believe that everything one class does is all right, and everything another class does is .11 wrong. All that organized labor does is not right, and every thing that capital does is not wrong. Free institutions and fair play for every man depends on a'n absolutely unmuzzled press, iT,d this pay.C'1-, for one, will wear rc muzzte. Falls City, Salem Heights andButteville will celebrate. The Fourth of July is a good time to take your family for a little picnic outing, teach them patriotism, get a little fresh air, shut up the house one day, and give your wife a chance to wear her Sunday clothes. Carry the basket yourself, help spread the grub, wait on the children, give your wife the same chivalrous treat ment you lavished on her when you were doing your best to make her think you were the nicest fellow on earth. You will feel better and enjoy life more, and so will she. The color will come back to her cheeks, and the sparkle to her eye, and maybe she will feel proud of even you. The recall movement, right or wrong as it may be in individu al cases, is bound to grow stronger. The people feel disposed to try it, and will try it if they get a chance. There are judges and district attorneys, elected by the people, their salaries paid by the people, and yet who do not fail to sell their services to cor porations and appear against the people on occasions when their influence counts. It is not too late to plant asters. Buy plants, make the ground mellow ana rich, shade the plants for a few days, then cultivate, and no flower will repay so much beauty as the aster. Besides it is the state flower in honor of the Astoria centennial. Let us all be ready to go to Astoria with a basket of asters. TO SHIT OUT HEARST AM) SOME OTHERS If William Randolph Hearst, the editor and owner of a string of pa pers in the United States, desires to retain whatever shadowy title hi? may have to certain lots in this city it will be necessary for him to come here and defend an nctlon brought against him and several parties by Henry F. Smith and wife through At torney Carey Martin. The lots are located In Morning side addition and Hearst acquired title to them about 20 years ago. A street car system was being promot ed In the city then. The owners of the addition as a consequence were boosting it, and Hearst was booming the Examiner and a combination was formed whereby the lots were to be given as premiums to the subscrib ers. Just which proved the most at tractive to subscribers the complaint Money on Deposit In our Savings Department Is an Investment with these ad vantages: The Principle is Safe.

Sherer of the Board of Public Works, Milwaukee, Wis., says: In all places where we had to replace the sewers that were put In in the early history of Milwaukee, we found the con crete pipe to be Intact For In stances, only recently we were required to take up 12 Inch pipe and replace It with 20 Inch, and for the entire length that pipe was found to be In elegant condition very much harder than when first placed there. There was no defector flaw from one end to the other, and there was fourteen or fif teen hundred feet on that lino of pipe. Our Engineers of the Board of Public Works recom mended concrete pipe to be the best for the conveying of sew erage that Is to be had, Call on us for estimate on concrete pipe for your sewer connections.

APPOINTED GOOD ROADS COMMITTEE Responding to repeated requests coming from all portions of the state asking him to do something to effect an organization having for its object the drafting of a good roads' bill which will meet the approval of the majority of the voters, Governor West today appointed a committee con sisting of prominent, good road en thusiasts In every county In the state and has asked that It meet soon, or ganize and take up Its work. Cjveral bills were passed by the last legislature on the subject of good roads. Each one, however, was subjected to dozens of amendments In both houses, and by the time they were enacted into law they met with the approval of but few, were prac tically valueless and all were vetoed by the governor. Since then a move ment has been launched to initiate a bill, and it is to avoid a multiplicity of bills and to avoid a general con fusion of legialation on the subject that the governor has appointed a committee and asked them to hold a convention and ascertain if it is not possible to agree upon some bill which will give satisfaction to the : public in general. ! Dr. Andrew Smith, of Portland, is j made chairman of the committee, and I the other members are as follows: Senator McColloch, Baker; Dick Klg er. Benton; C. E.

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION HAS BUSY TIME The state railroad commission will exercise for the first time the author ity vested in It by Chapter 136 of the session laws of this year, when to morrow at a hearing at Portland It will determine the days ;of the week when railroad companies may run stock trains of less than carload lots at a minimum speed. The law designate one day In the week when the railroad companies may run stock trains of more than 10 cars at a minimum speed, but left It to the commission to fix the days when they may run stock trains of less than that number of cars. The hearing win be held at the Union stock yards. To Investigate Other Matters. While In session in Portland the commission will also Investigate complaints made against the accom odations provided by the railroad companies for attendants on stock trains. The complaints charge that the attendants have been compelled to occupy any and all kinds of old quarters which the companies might see fit to assign to them. The members of the commission went to Hillsboro today where they are holding a hearing on a com plaint made against the logging rates charged by the Pacific Railroad & Navigation company. IT LOOKS LIKE REVEALER SEE HAD A TICKET Chicago June 28. Desperate at tempts were made today by attorneys for Athur Evelyn See, the "revealer of Absolute Life," to keep from the jury trying him on charges of caus ing the downfall of Mildred Bridges, his girl disciple, the testimony of Police Captain Danner and several reporters who have sworn they heard See, the Bridges girl and Mona Rees admit illegal relations. When the state called the wit nesses this morning See's attorneys protested vigorously, asserting that the confessions were secured under threats and by promises of Immun ity. Finally the jury was excluded while Danner and the reporters tes tified. A new danger to "the revealer" came today in the report that Mil dred Bridges had become reconciled to her father, Stephen Bridges, the DacKDone or the opposition to See. On entering the court today the Bridge's girl threw her arms about her father and kissed him. Should Bridges be able to win his daughter over It is believed See's chances of acquittal will have gone glimmering. X-RAYS AND SMILES. In their treatment of Mrs. McMan igal the Burnes detectives are doing heroic work for the 'defense. The American people's sense of justice will not stand for that kind of out rage and the judge who permits it, is a disgrace to the bench. Cobweb skirts are the latest fad In New York City. With the neek-a- doo waist worn in connection with it, it should make the nude in art, take a back seat. The logan berry crop is reported short. This should be good news for the lemon family. Speaking of books, Locke's story, "The Glory of Clementina," is about the most Inglorious fiasco that. f'ver occupied good white paper to Its det riment. It is being run in hebdoma dal doses In, the Saturday evening Post, and if continued long will change that paper's circulation boast to much smaller figures. Muhtnimr Kills Kew In 1906 lightning killed only 169 people in .his whole country. One's chances of death by lightning are less than two In a million. The chance of death from liver, kidney or stomach trouble is vastly great er, but not if Electric Bitters be used, as Robert Madsen, of West Burlington, la., proved. Four doc tors gave him up after eight months of suffering from virulent liver trouble and yellow Jaundice. He was then completely cured by Elec tric Bitters. They're the best stomach, liver, nerve and kidney remedy and blood purifier on earth. Only 50 cents, at J. C. Perry's. SALEM BANK &TRUST CO.

WOULD BUILD MODERN ROAD TO PORTLAND The construction ot a modern high way connecting the capital city of the state with Portland, its metropo lis, by means of convict labor is the plan of Governor West, and with a view of carrying It into execution he today appointed Geo. F. Rodgers, of this city, Grant Dimick, of Oregon City, and C. T. Prall of Portland to confer with the authorities of the counties in which they reside and initiate a campaign in favor of the plan. , Since the governor succeeded in entering into a new contract with the stove foundry people of Portland relative to the number of convicts to ' be employed by It, he is in a position ' to say just how many can be used , In road, construction work. He is ai believer in the idea of building roads ' by convict labor, and it waj one of the policies advocated by him in his campaign for the governersnip. hie has now convicts employed in build ing roads on a small scale, but he desires to make the movement state wide and If he can succeed in get ting a movement started that will br'ng about the construction of a road between here and Portland he believes that there will be no trouble to prevail upon the rest of the state to adopt his policy. The committee will be asked to meet and organize and outline a cam paign and then it will pay a visit to the county courts and also other of ficers and seek to interest them In the plan. iTMrn'nffifiiffMmfliffiii rtnnwiTn Express Shipment Tan Button Shoes for Women.

The law creating the board and Investing it with power to appoint inspectors In the various counties did not go Into effect until May 23. It now develops that as early as March Inspectors were appointed in the counties and that as early as April they began to Inspect stallions as to their soundness. The bills sent In by the Inspectors rangu all the way from $."0 to $200. Instances show that ninny Inspectors niado a day wage as high as $75 and $85 for the inspection of horses, and but few ran below the $50 mark. The inspectors, under the law, are allowed $5 for each stallion Inspected. o CHERRY FAIR QUEEN CONTEST WAXING WARM Balloting for the honors of being Queen of the Cherry Fair is becom ing quite fierce.
