TUB COiRT MT8R AT SALKM.
The erection of a new anil more
commodious Court House at Bulom
lias been :i want long and urgently felt
by the citizens of Marlon county.
Tlie present old Court House building
has been rendering service for nearly
twenty year past. Being a wooden
building, It bos nearly succumbed to
the wear and'tcnr of the elements.
The paint has years ago been wash
ed uwuy, the celling Is in a crumbling
condition, not withstanding the fre
quent repnirs made from time to time,
the old tenement has been reduced
to u generally dilapidated state of pies
ervatlon. The subject of thocoiistruc
tlou of u more suitable Court Hoiie
has been agitated for n long time jiust;
to place a cltv clock in the tower with
four dials fronting the cardinal points
of tho compass. On the top of this
tower will be placed a bronze statue
representing the Goddess of Justice
holding In one hand a sword and In
the other a pair of balances.
Portico in front of the first and sec
ond stories will lie erected, supported
by iron columns, surmounted with
Corinthian cn. When completed In
accordntico with the plans and speci
fications, this Court House building
will be among the flmst edifices In the
State, and will be an ornament to Ha
lem and a useful accession to the Im
provements of that town. Work is
progressing as rapidly as practicable
and the building will probably be
ready for occupancy by the first of
next January. 1'Iiht it lturtou arc
the architects. Mr. l'lpcr is also the
Superintendent of construction. The
contractors arc Messrs. 1 loot h by, Mill
er & CihOrcuonlaii.

RAILROADS.
Tho great question that now appears
to mostly agitate the minds of this
section of Oregon is that of railroads
the Northern Pacific and the Portland,
Dalles and Salt Luke. We have giv
en tho matter considerable ettcntlon
and have arrived at the following con
clusions :
The Northern Pacific Company is
going to build their branch road by
way of the Snowqualmlo Pass to Pu
get Sound first, because it is the short
est and chcaiest route. For the pres
ent they will uo the transportation
they have purchased of the O. S. IN. Co.
on the Main Trunk or Columbia ilvcr
route, until, such time when the
amount of freight anil travel will Jus
tify them In bulldlngtlio road.
Wo believe they will run their boats
from the Cascades to Knlnma Instead,
as at present, to Portlnnd. This will
have a tendency to stir up the Poil
land people and cause them to build
the five miles of railroad at the Cna.
cades, on tho Oregon side, and to place
on a Hue of opposition boats to this
city. A change nf this kind no doubt
would eventually bu of great bciiellt
to tho people llvlngon this side of the
mountains.
We urc also of tho opinion that It
will bu many years before a railroad
will bo built down tho Columbia river

river is. navigaiiio nearly all the year
excepting wncii irocii up wiueii oc

Is actually no necessity for It nt pres
ent, and after tho completion of the
Northern Paclllc Kallroad, ivlu the
.Snowmmlmlo Pass) the necessity will
be still less. The merchants on this
side of the mountains who now have
sulllcleiit capital to purchase In San
1-raueIsco, will ho ublo to buy their
goods in tho Kast from tho manufac
turer and iiiiMirter direct. This will
make a great dlllerciico in the amount
of freight brought up tho Columbia

Mh. Pbesident : Tho subject be

the Christlun rellgion-H subject in
which every one is interested. The
father is interested, tho mother is
interested, tho children nro inter
ested, tho neighborhood is interest
ed, tho county is interested, the
State is Interested, tho Government
is interested, nnd God himself Is in

tho iiblghlior, tho husband, tho wife,
nnd the disciplo of the meek nnd
lowly Savior; it is hero onr Httlo

cepts that nro to follow them through
life, whether for weal or for wo.
How carefully then should wo ns
parents nnd teachers sco to It that
the rising generation Is early taught
to lovo homo, tho family llrcside,
the old homestead, father, mother,
brother, and sister, neighbor ami
friends, nnd especially the Author of
all things. Then it becomes us as
parents to strive to adorn nnd beau
tify our homes in evory way possi
bio to please tho little one?, to study
infancy In its purity, to .seek to in
still in their youthful minds to al
ways toll tho truth, to ho kind and
obliging, dutiful in olioyhig their
parents and teachers, to shown prop
er respect to thonged, to early ac
quire knowledge, by which only
man is wise. Then in what wnv
can wo make homo most attractive '.'
l-lrst, the father nnd mother should
strive to Uliiko homo cnrnfortabln
and beautiful; our houses should be
wnrm nun roomy, our yards should
bo set 111 flowers and shade, frees, nnd

admire tho beautiful works of crea
tion, to ho Indulged In their youth
ful sports, the parents often taking
part with them, and (pending us
much tlmo us nosslblo in tho snclotv
of the children ; then at oveniug, as
me lamiiy surround tne tircsuto,
nothing but lovo to ono another and
tho love of lnxiks should bo indulg
