March 2 .People are Just beginning to realize that Oregon City has a good band. ' The band played for the Y. M. C. A. entertainment Mon day night and the quality of muslo heard there was of the best and com pares "more than favorably with the work of similar organizations. In for mer times It has been dlflicult to keep the men at practice through the winter. There has been no such trouhl thin winter. Every Tuesday the members of the band get together In their hall and hold a faithful practice so that they are In fine trim and can play any kind of difficult music. - In ' respect to finances, the organiza tion is on "Easy street." Thev mode enough money out of their playing last yesr iu pay me aeots or the organiza tion and to have money left In the treasury. ' The membership Is not ouit.i so large as last summer, but there are some musicians on the outside who will be In Oregon City In the near future and they will swell the ranks of the band. The members of the band Intend to give regular weekly concerts so soon as the weather gets warmer. This will be a good thing for the city and the band. - The concerts will be free and will no doubt,be held in the public squares or. Bom other public spot. A s-nnd place could be secured across the river at , the end of the bridge. This would be an ideal place for a music stand anTT tna,musio. wouiu attract large crowds across the river in the evenings. The city, needs some little excitement of thl3 kind' during the summer months and would. be' good for the business men, as the -music .would attract a crowd on the streets and ..trade would naturally ba tha : result.

SALEM PEOPLE HAVE CLOSED TOWN AT LAST (Journal Special Serrlce.) Salem. Or., March 3. The blow haa been Struck and Salem is today and has been since . o ciock last night, a closed town. At that hour City , Mar shal D. W. Gibson and his two police officers entered every saloon' and gam bling house, every cigar store In which gambling was or might be carried on. and -served notice on the proprietors that gambling would from that time on be prohibited, and that all ordinances of the city .would be strictly enforced. He also notified all saloon men that their places of business would have to be closed at midnight on Saturday nigm and kept closed, front and rear, until midnight Sunday night under pain or prosecution under the City ordinance?. While this action was not entirely un expected since the resolution was adopt ed by the council instructing tne mar shal to enforce the city ordinances, there was consternation In the local- gambling houses and there were maledictions loud and deep among some of the members of the gambling fraternity, but all com plied with the orders or the omcers, and five minutes .after the officers had completed thelf rounds, not a card was" turned in a gambling game, not a roulette ball rolled, no dice were thrown and the gambling fraternity was seen Idly standing about discussing tne sweeping order of the authorities. What the result will be Is not yet known, as some of the gamblers hope to have the sweeping order revoked, and many be lieve that play will be permitted in up stairs rooms or retired rear rooms, but this far no steps have been taken by any of the knights of the green cloth to reopen or in any way to resume their operations. Gambling has always been carried on to a greater or less extent In Salem, and it is said by men who have lived here since Salem was a town that this is the first time In the history of the place that gambling has been entirely shut down. There is only one way that people of this city -can now woo the goddess buck the tiger and that it is by invest ing their coin in depositing it in the slot machines, not the innocent little chewing gum or cigar machines, but the money machines, for these are li censed by the city (though under the ban of the state law) and the order does not affect them, an ordinance li censing them giving the marshal only authority to see that the licenses are paid on these devices. City Marshal I), w. tjibson is tne best pleasea resident of Salem, for some time there has been a controversy In 'this city as to the action of the officers In not suppressing , certain vio lations of the ordinances and the police department held that the council' was to blame In not pledging the support of that body In the enforcement of-the laws of the city. The council at Its session Tuesday evening passed an ordi nance defining the duties of the mar shal and following it a resolution was passed calling upon the, marshal to en force all the ordinances of the city. Marshal Gibson, in discussing the mat ter yesterday afternoon, said "that he had looked the matter up and he found that the council had given him Just what he desired, and that he would Btrlctly enforce the laws of the city. Certain It Is that many of the citizens of Sa lem are ready to back him In his un dertaking,' and the green cloth fraternity Is disgusted, to say the least, and those of the cigar stores, the principal busi ness of which was gambltng in the back rooms, were closed in a short time after the notice was received. It Is said that a number of these will go out of business unless the order of the au thorities Is revoked or modified. This is a victory for 'the Anti-Saloon league, which was formed here last fall when the city campaign was -on. The league elected but one councilman, but It was the effort of that one member that finally resulted in the order from the council te the marshal to enforce the ordinances of the city, with the re sult that gambling was suddenly stopped. How effective and lasting this will be ' time alone can tell, and the prediction is freely made that viola tions will be promptly rollowed by prosecutions of offenders to the full ex tent of the law. The Bartmes Case. County Judge Scott yesterday after noon decided the matter of the contest ing petitioners for the appointment of an administrator in the estate of the late Levi Bartmess, who died near Stay ton a few weeks ago. The old man he was 77 years of age died at the home of J. M. Howell, with whom he had lived for some time and where he had been cared for during his last illness. He owned considerable property near StAyton, Including some fine farm lands. Mr. Howell had a claim against the estate, and aa It was at that time not known an to whether he had any rela tives near here, Mr. Howell petitioned for his own appointment as administra tor of the estate. . Soon after this Mr. Oscar Cole .and his brot'-ier. the latter a resident of Canomah, petitioned for the appointment of Mr. Oscar Cole as administrator, the two brothers proving to be relatives of the deceased. The petitions came up forbearing yesterday afternoon, and Judge Scott decided in favor of Mr. Howell. It Is stated that the Coles will appeal the case to the circuit court. Off for St. Xionls. Today the Oregon exhibit, consisting of a quantity of the -farm, garden and ranch products included In the county exhibit at the State fair here last fall will leave for St. Loots, in charge of Mr. Douglas of Albany, who has for the past few years had charge of the Linn county exhibit at the State fair and has several times captured good prizes at the fair. Mr. Douglas has made quite a record as an exhibitor of farm and garden products -and he has spent the past few months In adding to the collection to oe shipped to Bt. Louis. He will be supplied with fresh products throughout the season while in St Loula and will make an excellent showing of the respjure'es of Oregon so far as his part of the state exhibit can do so. The collection is one of the best and most -Complete ever gathered in th, state by anyone, and will be a revelation to the visitors in St. Louis who may chance to see tire fruits, vegetables, grains and grasses ahown there from the land of the webfoot. - ' Mrs. D. E. Smith, wife of former Police Officer E. B. Smith, died in the Salem hospital yesterday afternoon after a lingering Illness, aged 82 years. She recently came here from Kansas, two years ago, and since that time has mad. her home with, her ion " in this city. her husband having died Just before she came- to Salem. ' Her health has been poor for some time and for the last few months ah haa been very ill. Everything possible was done to save her life, but her great age was against her, and she succombed yester day afternoon, weary of life' strug gles. Mrs. Smith was a native of Ohio, and many years agd ah removed with her parents to Illinois, and later to Kan- 4 sag beloc oa Jbe uUklrta of. clvUlxa Hon nearly' all of her life, and going through the hardships of. pioneer iiru constantly, - until her husband died a few year ago in western Kansas, just after he had fitted up a permanent home and waa beginning to enjoy the fruits of a lifetime of endeavor.

Fouls, who Was iirwairTofTnlnT behind a door, assaulted Sheehan. A violent altercation' ensued, and the mat ter being reported to Superintendent James, that officer suspended both men, pending an investigation, as a quarrel between two officers' at the prison is strictly prohibited and subjects the of fending parties to dismissal. On investi gation, it was round that Mr. Sheehan was not at all to blame (so the officers report at the prison) and he was rein stated, and is again at his post. Many of the guards ; who have served with Sheehan speak In the highest terms of praise of the guard, and all are pleased to see htm aga,ln at his post. THE DALLES NOTICE.

BKXTAXnT IMPLICATES. Goldwln Smith in Toronto Sun. Great Britain was In fact Implicated by anticipation in the Russo-Japanese war when the Landsdowne treaty was signed It was unquestionably in reliance on tho pledge of sympathy and conditional sup port given by that treaty that Japan courted war, as she evidently did. To commit a nation to war In a contingency dependent in any measure on the con duct of another nation not under its con trol Is surely very daring statesmanship. The contingency may occur, but In such a manner and under such conditions as would greatly change the moral obliga tion of the compact. It Is conceivable that Japan, confident in the pledged as sistance of Great Britain, might by her conduct provoke another power to take Great Britain might at the time be sorely .. pressed by war from some other quarter. As It Is, she has made Russia her ueadly enemy, all the more deadly If Russia is defeated. and Japan can lend no aid In the Baltic or the Black sea. , Why don't grocers money back everything?
