Prof. Hobson had the slightest twinkle of his baton; and best of all the chor us was not overtrained so its singing was fresh and vivid. In the inspiring number "Be hold the Lamb of God" the chorus responded as perfectly it seemed as though it were leluiah" chorus is always the fective massing of volume, but Is what still lingers in our ears. Mention should be, made too of the fine solo work of Everett Craven, bass. His premier number was- "Why Do the Nations Rage so Furiously Together ? and he poured into this turbulent number all muster. : - " Of the program as a whole we might comment that there were too many recitative numbers. This was "Hob- con's choice" but if we guess sneeiaDv for recitatives. They are as nainful to listen to as to sing; and where there are so many as in this pro gram, the -audience-gets .worn out.

Hitherto the utility has not been able to dip into general taxes to meet its deficits. So it has rolled into debt trying to meet its running expenses, interest and bond payments and outlays for new equipment. "This is of interest to Oregon where campaigners assured the people that wonders were possible "without cost to the taxpayer". It will be interesting to see if the street railway utility can secure the substantial "prop of access to the tax funds. If it does, then we may be sure the deficits will grow instead of diminish. . . . i -.'..

Curtain ring earrings and two doxen brass bangles from the ten-cent store were supposed to lend the Venetian touch. Surpris ingly, they did. 'Why you look beautiful," May Belle exclaimed. Astonishment glowed on her pi quant, freckled face. .A warm, bright blush mounted to the roots of Lou's dark hair. "Do you really think' I look nice?" Her eyes searched, the mirror over the buffet.

She was almost afraid to turn on the light lest Nancy might not be there. September passed in a back wash of -weddings. Announce ments. Rich, black cakes in chaste whie boxes. Family argu ments over presents. Nancy was a bridesmaid twice. "That means you can't bo a bridesmaid for May Belle at Eas ter!" mamma worried. "Three times a bridesmaid. never a hirde," Nancy quoted, trying to mimic mama. "I may surprise you and be a bride my self before then!" And she laugh ed a little wUdly.

Roe. the date of that issue being Tueeday. April f. 1851, the hanging having been on tho Friday- before,, that la, April 2. 185. there was a Pr ate item to the effect that Sher iff Cornoyer had erected tho -gallows "at the edge of town." and that some- miscreant or. miscre ants - .had tampered with the death trap. W They had partly aawed oft one oT -tho posts. a that when the trap waa sprung the conaemnea man would be let down to mi ground, and not be suspended in tho air at tho and or -the rope. This -was dono some time before Thursday, but the sheriff had discovered It on that day, and. after repairing the damage, a guard waa that night stationed la order that the grim trick could not be repeated. The supposition was that som practical Joker had done tho work. He' mast have been a fellow who had peculiar ideas of humor. In that same issue in still an other column there was printed a letter front Roe. which read -as follows: "Dear Editor: Having seen an article la tho Pacific Christina Advocate concerning mo and my wife (now deceased) stating that wo were not mem bers -ot tho church, I have a -de-slre to correct it, and win Inform Brother pearne (then editor of tho Advocate) that I have been a member -of tho VL .

Thin was dated at the court house Febru ary 22, 1850. Evidently that was a typographical .error, and the date was 186. - V Where was "at the edge of town' for the Salem of 1859? It was. tor the purpose of explain ing the reference, some where in the block surrounded by Ferry, High. Trade and Church streets. Tho .gallows was erected under a big oak tree in that block; likely 100 to 200 feet southwest ot the corner now "occupied by the Clough-Barrlck funeral parlors. Marlon county at that time either owned or rented that block or perhaps Just occupied It, Tho first county jail was there; a rude log building. But that Jail was burned a couple of years or so before the Roe hanging. It was burned in 1857. Joe Baker, the oldest man in Salem in point of continuous res- vases and a chauffeur In front. 'He's papa's friend. Wasn't it lucky wo met him?" Louise laughed happily, when they were on the ferry going home. '.'The car must have cost at least a million.

He Is not sure where Roe was kept after his arrest. But it was likely In the red brick jail on the northwest corner of tho present court house grounds. Court and High streets, though that building may not hare been finished In time for that. The fact that Roe dated his letter to The Statesman editor at the court house might indicate that he was confined In that building then and that the red brick Jail was not ready for occupancy. Tho old court house was on the block where tho present one stands. Hon, A, Bush, deceased, was at that time the owner and the very able editor of Tho Statesman. Tho 8herlff Cornoyer of that day was- Narelsse A. Cornoyer not - related to the present prom inent Cornoyer family of Salem. N. A. Cornoyer was born In Illi nois in 1818; came to Oregon with tho I860 'Immigration, set tled on French pralrlo and was married there. He served In the Indian wars la eastern Oregon and Washington territories In 1855-8. and was then elected sheriff of Marion county. lie Was a well educated, polished gentle man. Ho waa afterwards U. S. Indian agent foe the Umatilla res ervation, and had lived and been active la Umatilla county for 48 years prior to his death March 21, Hot, aged nearly 10-years. Ho was one of Oregon's best known men la the old days. - -1 -V loo Baker knew Narelsse Whit man very well. . Not very long thereafter Mr. Baker was hlmsr-lf elected ahertff ot Marloa county.

V Mrs. Baker remembers aome things about life there better than her. husband. In the first place, Mr. Baker is going on 82 years, and sho Is younger. Tho difference In age does not matter so much, either. In their cases, for they are both young in most things, including their memories, despite the flight of the years. They make a splendid exhibit for Oregon's wonderful climate. a Mrs. Baker says that was the only time In her life that she kept a boarding house she boarded the county's prisoners la the red Jail. It is safe to say that it was a first class boarding house for the class. . Mrs. Baker asked the Bits man to say nothing about one Incident she remembers from those days' in tho last two years' of tho sev enties. A man was found murder ed in the SUverton neighborhood. A resident named Whitney was accused of the crime. He was tried and acquitted. The Jury did not think he was guilty, neither did Mrs.. Baker. a But the town was full of peo ple from the Silrerton section, attending tho trial. They thought Whitney was guilty, and there were threata that If the Jury did not convict him, they would lynch him. Mrs. Baker knew ot tho threats. As soon as Whitney was acqnitted,aad before the would-bsr. lynchers knew he hsd been set free,- she prepared an exit for him, through the pantry window, into a' waiting cab, and his friends hurried him to a Southern Pacific freight train and that was tho last of Whitney. . That was tho nearest Joo Ba ker came to having the Job of banging- a man. And no doubt tho SUverton people who wanted to lynch Whitney have thought better of It by this time, If any of them are yet Uring. Anyway, If Mrs. Baker committed any of fense, it has long been outlawed. A Gift Urn Set at a VERY Special Price!
