Per Copy t cent On trains and News Stand S rents Keep on Workin TT may be said that no progress was made yesterday in the L conference between city officials and C. T. Chenery, rniAnf nf th Federal Water Service company, over the deal for the acquisition of the local water plant by the city of Salem. Such preliminary conferences are necessary, and though they are apparently futile of themselves they do launch negotiations which ultimately may bear fruit. Mr. Chenery is a' pleasant gentleman, and manifested a desire to sell the local plant if terms of sale and means of payment could be mutually agreeable. The stumbling blocks are fixing the price and finding the spondulix. Perhaps the latter is the more formidable of the two, because in these days of eroded values it might be easy to get together on a price provided the city had actual cash money to do business with. As it is readily admitted that it would be virtually impossible to sell on the open market large blocks of municipal bonds, the alternatives are for the company to take the city's bonds in payment or else for the ; city to obtain the money from the Reconstruction Finance corporation. It seems to U3 the latter is the better venture. The way appears clear now for final enactment of the law empowering the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to make loans to municipalities for self-liquidating projects such as a water works. If the city makes immediate application for a loan of $2,000,000 it could specify that the money was to be spent insofar as might be needed, for constructing intakes and pipelines and reservoirs and for buying or building a dis tributing system. The corporation is empowered to loan for constructing the distributing system and since the : resent system is only part of the larger system it should be willing to finance the purchase oi the existing plant, asked yesterday by Statesman re- . Meantime the city could make a fair offer of city Donas porters. for the local plant which the company could accept or re ject If the company rejects, then the city may proceed with endeavors to obtain money elsewhere and go ahead with whatever construction program is finally approved. It is no time to be discouraged and give the deal up. In- onosl i ohftnlft Ko rmo'VioH Trifrt vitro -r onrl noroTPstsivpnpss hv I think they are worse on hot - ...... a.

That reads like the pledge of the republicans in 1928, , and look what we got: the farm board and thirty cent wheat and five cent cotton.

HENDRICKS- Hlstorfo four corners: s (Continuing from yesterday:) Later, likely after the Aiken & Farnham store ceased business, the lower floor had three store rooms, as It may have had before. and been rearranged. One of these. with the second floor, was occu pied by the office of the Capital Journal newspaper, when It was under the ownership and manage ment of Col. E. and A. F. Hofer, and after CoL E. Hofer bought his brother's Interest and still after Col. Hofer sold the property. V s s During that time the Bits man bought that part of the property, and thereafter his rivals In busi ness (cheerfully) paid their rent to him. The Journal's business of fice was In the south room, and there was a common user stair way, belonging to the two owners of the south two-thirds of the property. Then the Bits man Daily Health Talks By ROYAL S. COl'ELAND, M. D. Gardner Cowles is not a name so well known as Charley Dawes, but it is a name that spells success in Iowa. Cowles went up to Des Moines a good many years ago and got into the publishing business with an insignificant paper. With the help of Harvey Ingham as editor he made the Register the dominating organ in the state and now he controls the papers in that city and they pretty much run the state. He will be a pretty safe man on the Reconstruction Finance Cor poration and not apt to take in oil stock for collateral. Relentless search has rewarded the police officers of the northwest in tracking down the slayers of Patrolman Iverson, if those now under arrest are proven guilty of the crime. The detection of the individuals on the fragments of clues which were obtained by the state police shows a skill in ferreting which is a real tribute to the staff of the depart ment By diligent study and search they found the names of the individuals wanted; then it was only a matter of time till the hand of the law was laid upon them. Some propose a third party if Roosevelt is nominated and some if he is not nominated. So the probability is that there will be none, regardless of who is nominated. It takes money to grease-the wheels even of a third party; and there are mighty few business tycoons able to buy ambassador ships this season. It is just hard to get excited over what the democrats do in Chicago, because the weather is so warm. They always stage their conventions in weather about the hottest of the season. Ah, if we could only "keep cool with Coolidge" again, j The two-thirds rule stands at Chicago and the next few oays will determine whether It has saved or wrecked the party which has been wrecked before often enough on the eame rocK. .

Still later, he bought the stable property In the rear, giving an outlet to the alley and to Ferry street. s The brick that went Into the Grlswold, Holman and Statesman buildings, the writer believes came from the yard of John Ba ker, on the Garden road, who owned the tract that ls now the Kay addition and the Kay park. The Baker family lived In a brick house which he erected on his property. He was the father of the wife of B. F. Bonham. It. P. Bonham, head of the Immigration department, with his office at Portland, Is a son; son; grandson of the pioneer brick man. The brick, the writer believes, for all the early buildings erected in Sa lem, was burned at the Baker yard including the Moores buidling that stood where the U. S. bank block stands now, and numerous others, ths walls of which still serve as originally constructed or later changed. No concrete foundations were used then so all the early Salem structures built with brick had foundations of stone. The rock came at first from near the pres ent penitentiary annex the old reform school property. Later It came, most of it, from across the river In Polk county, over the hill west of West Salem. Reed's opera house building, now occupied by the Miller store, etc., originally had a foundation built from this stone. When It was rebuilt, the old foundation was taken out and concrete used. In August, 1884. there was only one short piece of concrete walk In Salem; still there. In front of the building at the southwest corner of Commer cial and Chemeketa. that was oc cupied by the original First Na tional bank of this city then known as the "Scotch" bank, be cause It was owned by the Scotch backers of the narrow-gauge rail road lines of the Willamette val ley, east and west sides; that lat er passed to. Southern Pacific ownership. As related in the series in this column in December on Salem's early playhouses, the principal theater was first In the Grlswold building, after the makeshift pio neer ones in wooden shacks, and the second one was In the two story part of the Holman build ing, with its entrance oft the chamber of the territorial coun cil and the state senate territor ial upper branches being called councils. . The activity that grew up around these historic four corners began with the first store In the town that became Salem, at the northeast corner of Ferry and Commercial streets, after Thomas Cox arrived in the fall of 1847 with his stock of goods carried across the plains ia a fleet of cor ered wagons, and . packed- by a band of Indian ponies from the Bummlt of the Cascades on the Barlow route; followed by the first (provisional government) postofflce in the Cox building. From that store were supplied the powder and bullets carried by the volunteers who rode, early - is 1848, to the Caynse war to pun ish the Indians who brought on the Whitman massacre, and to hold back the red hordes threat ening all ths settlements with fire and tomahawk. The first woolen mill on the Pacific coast, starting in 1857 on "Boon's Island," checked activi ties further south and held the business t the little town to the north, around the site of the mis sion mills where It was started In 1840.

"And when did yon aay this was?" "Late his afternoon. Miss Lola was out. And Mrs. Carewe had just come home from the show."

"Oh, they quarreled and made up all the time. Just like all fami lies. Lola said once that she could easily kill her mother but she was awful mad, then, and that was a long time ago. Of late they seemed a lot closer I dont know why." "Do yon remember ever hearing Lola Carewe express any fear of any particular person?" asked Dougherty. "Did she, for instance, ever say she was afraid somebody might try to take her life?" Eunice James wrinkled the f reck led whiteness of her forehead. Her eyes brightened. "Lola and Miss Christine were both scared of one man she told ma so." she disclosed. "He was an actor boy friend of hers Guy Ev erett the fellow who took Miss Christine out tonight."
