of vital concern right. in the. home. v - ? :

Right at Christmas additional warning is desirable:
1. Do ' not burn lighted candles about a Christmas
tree; use only electric bulbs. ' .
2. If you are foolish enough to burn candles, start
lighting them from the top of the tree down. I
3. Quickly burn up in your stove or furnace the wrap- J

"The Messiah'
SALEM churches last Sunday gave a. wonderful array of
Christmas programs, and any Salem folk who remained
away must be destitute in Christmas spirit or in apprecia
tion of music From the wealth of offering this editor at
tended "The Messiah performance at the . First Christian
church, partly because it and Christmas seem inseparable,
and partly, because Ronald Craven who works days as bind
ery man at The Statesman and tnen on nights and Sun
days warbles sweet tenor solos,
lb was uiuctai a v eijr xiius
del oratorio. 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. "The crowd likes mass

Seattle Has Troubles j
IF Tacoma is conspicuous
' ownership, Seattle Is the
the same as applied to street railways; The street railway
utility in Seattle is and has been for. years', in dire straits.
It got a time extension of two years on Its bond . payments;
but doesn't seem to be making headway even with this
breathing speU. - : i , m '
Now they are talking "refinancing and the little barb
on the end of the hook, is some form of guarantee for the
bonds to be issued. 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 -.'..
In one proposed plan there Is a plank: 'removal of the
street railway management from political control of influ
ence". How. can that be done ir our form of public owner
ship? Perhaps it can; but governments have ahown. them
selves so feeble in managing even the expenditures of ad-

with Roger Decatur, handsome

"It was a' . wonderful party.
May Belle a perfectly .wonder

cried. . .' - -
"Why, Lou, did you really
think it was a success?' Enthusi

ough to mean something. 1 May
Belle beamed upon her, and no
ticed for the first time what a
really charming; gown she- was
wearing. It waa- made of some
deep purple stuff, heavily shirred
and corded, that had begun life
20 years ago, as a ban drees for
mama. 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. Had aho
really looked lovely to Mat?
Hadn't-he missed Nancy at aUf-
Nancy . . . she hadn't seen her
for hours ... The bright Mush

"Has anyone aeen Nancy?", she
asked nervously, looking from

group ' beginning to -mount the
stairs.
"Nancy?- May Belle remem
bered she had not seen her for
hoars -either. -
"Tes. what did happen to Nan

worried, for his old favorite.
"Oh,- Nancy went far bed hoers

Charles J. 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

death trap.
W
They had partly aawed oft one

trap waa sprung the conaemnea
man would be let down to mi

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

Where was "at the edge of

was. tor the purpose of explain

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.

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.

loo Baker knew Narelsse Whit
man very well. . Not very long
thereafter Mr. Baker was hlmsr-lf
elected ahertff ot Marloa county.
Ho served two terms, from 1878
to 1880. Ho ould tell enough to
fill a book, et the high light hls
torle Incidents of those old days.
Mr. and Mrs. Baker did not
Hve in the old court house- the
first two years of his term. The
boarding of the prisoners was
dona . then by Tom Reynolds,
who kept the old JaiL But the
Bakers did live in the court
house tho last two years ot his
term.
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.
