SALEM, June 13. All Salem and hair the country around turned out this after noon to -witness the laying of the corner stone for the new Odd Fellows' Temple, .t the corner of High and Court streets. In this city. A larger crod than will ever gather on this site was assembled to iay, for the- opera-house in the temple will not hold half the crowd that covered the open floor and the grounds adjoining. The exercises passed on! very pleasantly end successfully. The day was warm, but durintr the ceremonies clouds obscured the win and a cool breeze sprang up. The stone laid is a granite block 3x3lsX 12 feet. On the two outer faces is the legend: "Chemeketa Lodge, No. L I. O. O. 3?., 1352-1B0Q. ' The stone has a cavity Jn the top large enough to hold such souve nirs and rel cs as the members of the order saw fit to place therein. The stone -Was laid In the northeast corner of the foundation. The ceremonies were conducted by Past Grand Matter George H. Burnett, who called the assemblage to order and said: "Jly brethren, we bae assembled on this occasion to perform an interesting and irnponaot ceremony, one which trutt will have its pioper influence upon tur hearts and minds. The spot upon which ve stand has been selected upon which to erect a temple to he consecrated to tbi.gTe&tr principles of our order; and Wje are here today to inaugurate the en terprise byayins live, first foundation or -cortter-stontf in the structure, with the sol mn ceremonies befitting such .an occa soa.

TThe master of ceremonies then sprinkled 4he stone successively with water, flowers tand wheat, denoting friendship, love and truth, repeating as he did so the ritualistic work of the order. He then gave three "blows upon the stone "with a gavel, and ealdi "In bendolence smd charity I lay this corrrer-stone, earnestly praying that as It is firmly fixed in this solid foundation, so anay those cardinal virtues Immutably re pose in our organization, and'be the con stant practice of our order." The architect then handed the master of cercmonesa trowel, with mortar, and the latter spread the mortar upon the corner stone, fixing thereon, the first brick of tho wall. As he did this he said: '"As this cement binds together the parts of the wall, so may the cement of broth erly affection bind us together during all the days of our lives here below, and so may the cenjent of Divine love. In our Father's own good time, unite us as living stones in the temple above, tr-e 'house not made with hands, eternal In the heav no.

Mills Are Usln-J Bn.t Little Mere Than Half, and the Snrpla Is Accnmnlatlas Rapidly. ASTORIA. June 13. One of the leading loggers on the lower river states that about 2,000.000 feet of logs are being placed in the Columbia every day. These, at the ruling price, represent a cash value of about $12,000. As the mills are using only about U.0CO feet pr day the surplus Is accumulating quite rapidly. Of course the season in many of the camps will last but a few months and then the sur plus will be cut down. The price now for both fir and spruce Is $5 per thousand feet, and one of the main objects of the Columbia River Loggers' Association is to keep the price at that figure or at least proportionate to the lumber markets. An other aim of the association Is to compel the adoption of the Spauldlng scale In the measurement of logs so that the scaling at all mills and camps will be uniform. At the recent meeting It developed that much injustice had been done the loggers by some of the mills adopting a private scale, and one logger asserted that he had lost $5000 during the past two years in that way. IVo Orientals Escaped. The report that came from San Fran cisco that a number of deported Japanese escaped from the steamship Thyra while she was in the Columbia Is emphatically denied by Deputy Collector Parker. He says that when the vessel arrived at As toria she had on board 2-1 deported Japan ese, one deported Chinaman and 12 Japan ese passengers for Portland. These latter were landed at Portland. When the ves sel sailed out of this port 6he still had on board the deported Japanese and the Chinaman. The deported men were not certified to by the San Francisco officials, and if any that were ordered deported did escape It must hae happened before the vessel reached this-port. Logger "Wan Killed. The remains of R. B. Vernoy, who was accidentally killed in Bremntr's logging camp at Clifton yesterday afternoon, were brought to this city this morning. The deceased was a single man, about 30 years of age and a native of New York state. He has" a cousin living on Lewis and Clark River and an uncle residing1 at Hubbard. Oregon. The arrangements for the funeral have not been made, as word Is awaited from the relatives of the deceased, but It will probably be held under the auspices of the local lodge of Odd Fellows, as he was a member of that order. Valuable Property Bonded. Eight hundred feet of water frontage near the site of the old Trullinger mill, owned by the West Shore Mills Company, was bonded today by San Francisco par ties for 550.000. The bond extends until July 15, when 10 per cent of the purchase price, or $50fX. is to be paid. The identity of the purchasers or what they Intend to use the property for are not disclosed. Peculiarly Branded Snlnion. A 45-pound chinook salmon was caught this morning In a trap at Baker's Bay and delivered to Trescott & Co., that was very peculiarly marked. On the left cheek appeared to be three stencil marks or brands. They wero round and of about the size of the usual post! cancellation stamp. The marks had grown In the skin, evidently having been there for a long time, as the surface of the skin was perfectly smooth and showed no evidences of a scar. Under a strong glass the word "and" could readily be distinguished in one of the marks, and in another the let ters "I" and "J." The other letters had been so enlarged by the growth of the fish as to be unintelligible. F. M. Warren, Jr., secured the cheek of the fish, and will have it preserved. Remnant of a. Vessel. The steamer O. K. has been engaged for some time clearing the drifting grounds, used by the fishermen, of snags. There was one obstruction which gave the glll netters much trouble, located about three quarters of a mile below the present head of Sand Island. When the O. K. attempt ed to pull It, it was found to be too firm ly Imbedded to be removed. Two boxes of giant powder were exploded near it, and then the grappling hooks picked up Iron knees of a wooden vessel with planks attached, some pieces of copper, copper bolts and several piece? of brass. It is the wreck of some vessel, but Sand Island has shifted so much in recent years that the identity of the ship is not known. Astoria Trotcn. The Summer run of steelheads has be gun to enter the river. They resemble In size and quality those of last year, and are of uniform size. These fish are being handled exclusively by the cold storage men. They havo agreed among themselves on a price of 5 cents per pound. The local creamery has advanced the price of butter fat to 16",4 cents per pound.

Material toas been ordered so that the construction of the buildings will be commenced as soon as the wharf shall be completed. The trap piles that were placed In the middle sands opposite the city on Mon day night, are still causing much specula tion.

Late Alaska papers contain accounts of the- dismissal of tha totem pole Indict ments against eight Seattle citizens. Last August, while on an excursion to Alaska, a totem pole was taken by the excursion ists at Cape Fox. and It was transport ed to Seattlo and erected in Pioneer Place. The Indian owners of the relic raised ob jection, and there fol.owed a general pub lic agitation, leading to the indictmeats for grand larceny by the Juneau grand jury. Nothing was done about the matter un til last week at Skagway, when District Attorney Friedrichs moed that the in dictments be dismissed. He had Investi gated the matter, and was satisfied that no wrong whatever had been Intended by tho excursionists, although the affair smacked of vandalism. They had landed at what appeared to se an abandoned -vlllago, the Indians being then gone, and had taken what they supposed was a foi gotten and abandoned relic. When objec tion was afterwards raised they set about to make reparation. The District Attor ney read a lotter from Father Duncan, tho missionary, at Mctlakahtla. stat:ng that tho matter of eettlement had been placed in his hands, and the Indians had unanimously agreed to take J5O0. This waa given them, and they expressed them selves as perfectly satisfied. A letter from ex-Judge Johnson, of the Alaska court, was also read, to the effect that he had personally Investigated the case, and had satisfied himself that it was trivial, and no wrong bad been In tended. Judge Brown promptly granted the mo tlon of the District Attorney. NEWSBOY IX A STORM. Horses Bonnd for Cape Nome "Wero Badly Brniicd Up. SDATTLB, June 13.
