T II ERE IS a matter in connection with the city attorney's office of profoundly more importance from a financial viewpoint than the little $300 sugar teat presented the city attor ney by the couucil to keep him in good humor and prevent him upsetting his crib or smashing his bottle, and that ia the sewer bond matter. It is a little more than four mouths since the coun cil instructed the city attorney to pre pare a transcript of the sewer bond ituatiou and submit the samo to east ern parties, bond purchasers. To pre pare this transcript should require but a few days, and it certainly should have been forwarded before the end of the year 1912, it having been orilurod pre pared December 21st. The Capital Journal is not in clone touch with the city attorney, duo to circumstances over which it has no control, and conse quently cannot stato positively, as to what is going on in the city attorney's office, but it is informed that that tran script is still in Salem and has not been nont to Boston. Tho city attorney is reticent about answering what ho calls "personal attacks on him made by the evening papor," but it is hoped ho will not put this inquiry in that class, but that ho will for once tell tho people who pay his salary, what has been done with those eewcr bonds, whero tho mat ter now stands, whether or not tho tran script is prepared, whether or not it has been sont east, and in fact, enlight en the public ns to tho general nit nation of tho wliolo sewer bond matter. This is not a personal attack, it is not a mat ter in which the Capital Journal on its own account is much interested, but ev ery property owner in tho city is in terested in it, and especially those who have put up their money, to tho return of which they nro entitled. If tho transcript has been forwarded; if tho matter is now in tho hands of tho rastcrn people, let Salem folks know it. If it lias not been fm warded, kindly let tho people know why, and also any oth er little matters, which they us tho em ployers of the city attorney really seem to hnvo at bust a little right to know. Mr. Page, the Capital Journal asks yon iu all kindness, and in the interest of tfalem people, to shed a little light on tho sub ject, not a great spectacular il lumination, a flood of glowing brillian cy, but just a few old -fashioned one candlepower rays, just enough to see to rend by, upon tho sewer proposition so thnt tho people may know whero they atnml and have some idea as to the pro gress of tho matter. The people want 'to know about their business from their attorney. Will it require another raise in Salary to open his sphynx like lipxf which those of Tuesday fully confirmed Vestcrday's dispatches announced that in West Virginia there would be inO.000 homeless from the floods there, and that tremendous damago was being done. The news last night shows that devastation is wide spread, and while the loss of life is not so large, nor so concentrated, it will be large, and while the distress will be more scattered it will be none the less severe. For this reason there should be no halting in the raising of funds for the Telief of tho flood victiniB. Many jumped at the con clusion thnt becauso tho loss of life was less than at first estimated that tho suffering is also less, This is a grave mistake. Conditions in Ohio and Indi ana are indescribable, and instead of tho suffering being less, the peoplo made homeless along tho Ohio river and those driven to tho hills in West Vir ginia and Pennsylvania, will also need help for a littlo whilo. There is no dan ger of raising too much, for at the best, tho suffering can only be lessened, not entirely avoided even with the most liberal and generous contributions. And remember, pleasO, that he who gives quickly, gives twice. W H. GRIEB WILL DELIVEB AN ADDRESS W. II. Orier, secretary of the Nation al Tlaygrounds Association, will deliver an addrcsB at the high school Friday ev ening of this week at 7:30 o'clock. Mr, drier comes to Salem under the auspi ces of tho Salem Playground Associa tion, Greater interest than last year is be ing shown in the establishment of pub- lie playgrounds in Snlem for tho sum mer. The movement was a complete success last summer, though the associ ation wns handicapped to somo extent through lack of equipment and perma ncnt grounds. This year the high school athletic field will probably be used for grounds, and new equipment will be added. MORE FLOOD VICTIMS. COMMENTING cm the terrible floods iu Ohio and In. liana, a few days ago, the ( apilul Journal suggested , that iu a day or so it would be a ease of "Look out below!" Conditions along the Ohio river are, however, even worse that it was thought they could be. It was supposed the big channel of the Ohio would carry off the flood wa ters without extraordinary damage, but this has proven a false hope. It proba bly would have taken care of the Wa bash, Miami nud olher flooded streams of tho devastated district, but in the anxiety over Dayton, Columbus and the olher drowned nut cities, tho fact that West Virginia nnd l'ennsyh unia were also being deluged by tremendous rains wns overlooked. The dispatches Monday gave an ink ling of the danger from Hint source, SALEM CANOE CLUB TO HOLD A SMOKER A business meeting of the Salem Ca noe Club held last night mado prepara tion for a smoker to bo hold at the Marion hotel the evening of April 15, when officers of the club will be oloct- ed and plans mado for the summer sea son of activities.

If the plans of a number of Roscburg business men come out all right, and it looks as they will, the metropolis of the Umpqua valley will soon have a big Portland cement plant turning out sev eral hundred tonB of cement per day. Eight and one-half miles southeast of that city is a deposit of pure limestone and shale, which is said to be superior to any deposit of its kind on the Pa llets coast, and quite equal to the ce ment deposits which have made scores of millionaires in California. The do posit covers a tract of 280 acres, and is owned by D, W. Riedlo, who has had exhaustive tests made of both tho lime and tho shale with the result that ex pert chemists have pronounced it equal to any cement manufacturing material in tho United States. Two years ago Mr. Riedlo had his property examined by Dr. W. Michaelis, of Chicago, one of tho leading cement experts of the United States. Best in the West. The result of this examination is shown by a report in the Engineering Review, of Chicago, given herowith wherein this deposit is pronounced the best in the entire west, being equaled only by one other inlltah. This deposit is extensive, being em braced in a tract of 280 acres of land owned by Mr. Riedle, and is adjacent to the 80-acro deposit owned by the Port land Cement Company, which is build ing a plant at Oswego, near Portland. Tho proposition of Mr. Riedlo and his associates is to build and operate a plant that would manufacture 100 bar rels of cement per day, and employ at least 1 .10 men from the start. This ca pacity would probably bo doubled later on. A spur track would have to bo built to the property from the 8. P. R. R, near Greens. This would give direct and easy facilities for shipping. Benefits Douglas County. In tho building line, and especially as relntes to tho construction of hard surface roads, this plant would bo of untold benefit to Douglas county. It is estimated that moro than 800,000 bar rels of cemont will be used in the next few years in tho construction of trunk line roads in Douglas county alone, es timated at 50 cents per barrel, would aggregate $400,000. Yet this great sum would bo but a fraction of tho general benefit of tho development of such a great industry iit Oregon. The plan as outlined by Mr. Riedle nnd those associated with him In the enterprise provides for tho raising of $100,000 in Roseburg and vicinity, con ditioned upon outside capital being sub scribed to tho extent of $,'i00,000. The outside capital hns already been ar ranged for, and it is believed that there will bo no trouble in securing a subscription in Southern Oregon to the extent of $100,000.

(Special) "It is well with my soul," sang the audience at the East Spruce street Friends' church Sunday at the request of the aged pastor, Isom P. Wooton, formerly of Salem.
