nlu-muii.fii.im Ms SALEM AND IlS PKOSPECTf. Tho prospcctaofSalom for becoming r city of grand Imporlnnco la eneoumglng. It pos tCBKeH all tho natural advunttigea of location, health, fertility of soil In tho country which surrounds It, water-power, which renders it a suitable placu for manufacturing, and being tho at of government of tbo State all tbo Slato olllees nrn lositi-il wlthlu lu limits, unil it In vlsilrd by paoplo from nil quarters and spulious of tho country. Using tbo county seat or Marlon county lives It another ud vantngo. It conluluf upwards or 8 000 lu Jmbltimls, contains a Court House, State House, numerous public buildings, inanu factories, c.xlenslvo moicantilo hou&cs, and fluo residences. Tho Htato I'onltentlary Is located hore, and its oducatlonal advantages are good. It Is looatod on tho east bank of tho Wlllatnotto, fifty twomllosiouthofPott. land. It onjoya rivor navigation, and has tho advantage of bolng on tho lino of the Oregon and California Railroad. But there la one drawback to tho growth and prosperity or Salom, and that is, her moneyed men and capitalists prefer to loan their money and live upon tho percentage It nets tbem, Instead of investing In works of Improvement that would add to the growth and population or tho city. Tho first and most Important thlngo wo need are manu factories, and particularly of wool, a great quantity of which Is produced in the State, and would Hod a market here. Money thus Invested would return a larger protlt than It would by being loaned, with theaddttlonal advantage, that It would afford those thus Investing the gratification of knowing that they were not only building up the city but wore adding to the value or the possessions of their neighbors aa well as their own. No place In Oregon can boast superior manu facturing advantages. The water that would be required for this purpose Is obtained by means of a canal leading tbo wators of tho Bantiam river Into tho bed of a smaller stream. A. mile east of tho town, the chan nel of the lattor Is divided by races, and ap proaches the city by two lines. On each line there ara two falls of from a I tern to twonty feet. It Is estlmatod that the power thus provided Is equal to Lowell Massachu setts, If not greater. Tho noxt thing nooded Is a road across tho Cascades Into Wanco county, which would aecuro tbo trado of that important roglon, as It would bring it In connection with Salem noaror by forty mllos than to the Dalle or any othor place whore a markot could bo obtained. This Is an Important considera tion, aalho trado of that Bcctlon of country isalrcady oonsldorablo, and rapidly Increas ing. Thin onterpUo frhould bs hold before tbo peoplo and agltiled until stops are taken to build tho road. Another thing very osfontlal tnthnwel- faro of Halom is a brldiw across tho rlvor, connecting us witti our tunny ami itmuatri ous neighbors of Tolkcouuty. If thlanicaiiH of communication oxlstcd, not it day would nam wl'.hout bringing Into our atreots the wolcomo visages of our notghbora from that prosperous county, who would coma hore to Undo and triiMound sell tliolr produce, li is a aoriotiH relleotlon upon our men of capi tal thatthoy havo not tnUon this matter In hand boforo tills, and built tho bridge, ir necessary to our wants. It would nquiro Luc n faw montha to construct tho work, and money o Invested would yield a goad per- ooutugo. Upon tho whole, thero la nolocall'yon Ihn Pacific Count that prninlsrs morn lalrly to becomo populous and woalthy than Salem.

Tho Hawaii papers nnnounco tho death of W illlam Itagsdale, Governor of Molokal, tbo Island lo which all persons aflltotod with lop rosy uro banished by tho authorities of tho Sandwich Islands. Mr. lUpsdalo was a Hawaiian by hlrtb, his mother being a na tive of tho kingdom, and his father an Amcr lean. II was a lawyor by profosslou, and had arhen to eminence at tho bar. Tho mnnuer in which ho first discovered that ho bad tho leprosy, us relatod by himself, la both novol nnd lutcrtatiug. One night ho w.ts atudylug up a law cano In which ho was deeply Interested, when tbo chimney of his lamp fell oil. Although It was boated to a burning degree, bo look it up In his hand and replaced It without ozperlonclog any sonaallon. This exolted his turprlie, and Le repeatedly took It off and put It on without feeling pain. The conviction at once flashed upon him that ho was filleted with the lep rosy, Ho at once reported himself to tbo authorities, and be was banished to the leper Island, of which he waa made Governor, This Island contains about 800 lepers, and all communication with the outside world Is forbidden. Beside these there are 75 persons residing there who aro not lepers. These havo voluntarily exiled themselves In order to bo with their lovers, relatives and friends, Among these latter waa a beautiful Hawaiian widow who fell madly In love with' Itagadale and married him. It Is marvelonsly strange that although eating and sleeping with the aflllcted, tbey do not themselves catch this terrible disease. From Dally Record, Jan. 28. MARRIED: To-day about 115:30 o'clock a very quiet wed ding took ploco at the Congregational Church, tho contracting parties being Mr. Squire Farrar and Miss Belle C. Atkinson, both of whom are well and favorably known in this city. Rev. 1. S. Knight performed tho ceremony that made tho happy pair "two souls with but a singlo thought, two hearts that beat as one." Tho brido looked charming oh only brides can look and was dressed in a navy.bluo cash mere, cut en train, trimmed with navy bluo silk, whilst upon her head was a very dclicato whito hat trimmed in navy bluo silk, and tho whole crowned with a largo white plume, whilo her hands wore encased in snowy whito kids and upon tho third linger was tho massive solid gold wedding ring. The groom wore tho usual black suit, whito vest and necktie. After the close of tho cere mony tho bride and groom stepped into a car ringo that Btood waiting out side for them and woro convoyed to the 1 o'clock train for Port land, then they will take tho steamer Geo. W. KMcr, in tho morning for 'Frisco, where they will Bjieml a few weeks on a bridal tour. Wo wish tho fair brido and groom a happy journey, not only over tho sea of water but over the sea of life. Foot Grand Giro, Fred D. Stewart. Our Oild Follows citizens will bo pained to learn of tho death of Fred 1). Stewart, Fast Grand Sire. In the year of 1800, Mr. Stewart caruo to this Statu at tho earnest solicitation of Grand Itcprcsentativcsllristowaud Stinsou,aud remained in this city several days visiting and imiurtiug instruction to tho members of the Itdges. Mr Stewart visitisl Oregon long years laiforo thero was a lxidgo instituted and hu sup posed that ho was the first Odd Fellow ever on this coast, but ho finally had to yield the palm to 1'. ("!., .1. I 1'arrish, who was residing hero when Mr. Stewart made his lirut visit in 18 II. Mr. Stewart was acting in tho capacity of draftsman on the war ship Peacock, of Cnjit, Wilkes' exploring oxcditioii, which came on this coast in tho latter part of tho year 1811. Tho Peacock was under command of Captain Hudson, and was wrecked on tho sand in tlui North channel of tho Columbia river. Past Grand Sire Stowart was a man of great intellect and a bright and zealous Odd Fellow, and now that his spirit lias returned to Him who gavu it, and his Ixsly sleeps beneath tho clods of the valley, his many friends will over cherish his memory with fond recollections of tho just, and "Fading not when lifo has perished, Living still beyond the tomb." How to Tost tho Quality or Coal OIL Iloro of lato wo can lmrtlly jiiuk up an ex change but what it contains an account of tho exploHiou of coal oil in lamps, and in soma in. stances great damage and loss of lifo ara tho effects. A friend of mini nenils us a rtciixj taken from tlio Scientific American, and as it in very simple our readers can give it a trial: l'iaco sorno water in a pot or pan on tho fire to heat, villi a thermometer in it; then place a miio aiiv pan wiiu ouu or two uii1c8koubIu1 of coal oil in it, let it iioat on tho vatcr, and when tho temjicraturo of the water is up to 100 degrees Fahrenheit) apply n match or a hlazo of any kind to tho oil. If it explodes, it in not lit or safe to u.o, and none should Imj ubciI that would oxplodo under tho temperature of 110 degrees. With thU precaution thero will bo no accidents. Tbo Storm Last KlgMU Tho storm lost night was undoubtedly the heaviest experienced in this section of country for many years. Iho rain fell in perfect tor rents, and tho wind whistled around the caves of tho houses, and produced a sound that was anything but pleasant, while the sign lxunU thoso that did not tumble- down swung to and fro, and the noiso made resembled tliu tiling of a crosscut saw.

INDIAN RESERVATIONS OF OKEGOl?. Thero ia no Rorvlco our Senators nnd ller tosentatlvos lu Congress could render thai would bo moro acceptable to tho whole poo ploof thoStato than by procuring tho pas ago of a special act of Congress removing tho Indians fn m (heir tcatterod loccll'.lc and collecting thorn together on one, or not. moro than two, rtfrrvntlon and wo call upon Senator Ii V. Uiover, whom tho leoplo of Oregon havo honored In a signal manner, to tako tho mnttrr In hand and ttrgo It upon the attention of the fc'eciotnry of tho lntoiior and upon Congress, Such a meoauro would lessen tbo expend ltures of tho Govornmont greatly, and would operato mnch to tho ad vantage of tho Indiana. When" collected together atnlcablo relations would be estab lished between thorn, their Industry would receive a now stimulus, tho discoveries and Improvements of one would be participated In by all, a disposition to excel would be on couraged, tho supplies distributed to thorn by Government would bo more surely and equitably partitioned ameng them, and so many agonts to look after their welfare would not be required. Tbo Indian Reservations In Oregon covor somo of the most productive lands of tho State, whlob, under Indian occupancy, Is almost entirely unproduollvo. If tho Indi ana were removed and these lands thrown open to settlement, they would attract a largo population, whose Industry would add mil lions to the wealth of the State. It, Is said that this polioy lu regard to the Indiana would have beeu adopted longslnce, but "for the influence exerted by the religious de nominations who have them In spiritual charge. We hope such lofluenoe will no longer be permitted to weigh. If religious teachings have a hnmanlrlng Influence over them, they could bo made Ita subjects when collected together on a single reservation aa well aa when acattered over the State, as at present. Wo have beard that 8onator Mitchell baa a bill under consideration for the removal of tho Indians from tho Umatilla Ilosorva tlon. We suggest that his bill bo so amend ed as to include all the ro-ervatlons In tho State, and that en masso they bo given a strip of territory adapted to tholr wants, and lot the lands tboy now occupy becomo .aubjoot to occupanoy by white men. It requires no multiplication of worda to set forth the Im mense advantago this would bo to tbo State, Take, for Instance, tho Sllets Reservation, which Is fifteen miles oast of tho coast, four teen from tho southern boundary of Ronton county, aud bounded by Ronton, Polk and Tillamook. It contains R!3 sections of the finost quality of farming lands, and la well watored and timbered. There nro now upon It bolweon "u and 600 In a destitute condi tion. Vory fow cultivate tho soil. Potatoes havo frequently been given to them to plant, but they havo oat thorn instead. Tbli reser vation would araominodatoSOO fainllloswlth homos, aud contribute to tho annual pro duetlons of tho State, but under Indian, no oupanuyjt does not ovon furnish tlmm lth bread. Tho aamo may bo said of all tbo othor rehorwitlous In tho State. Tho lHiids of a country should bo occupied by those who would niako tho best uso ol them, 'iteoognlxlng this truth, wo hopo our Senators and Rtprosontatlvo will act and ut once upon tho suggestion wo havo mudo. Nothing thoy could do would ploaso (heir constituents butter. TEKIUBLIi Ci:n.rt Oahi', .laiuury t!U, 1878. Tho iuiagiuatiiin fails to couceivo of a sadder accident than that which happened yesterday morning in this vicinity. James K. Sturgw, a shiiiglo maker near this tamp, accidentally killed his wife aud bahu last night. 1 givu you tho jiarticiilars as I received them from tho un fortutiato man himself, Mho is now nearly crazed oer tho horrible, catastrophe: It seems that ho had lieeit out hunting dur ing tho day, and camu in just m tho shades of uvening wero falling over tho canon in which they lived. Ho put his doublo-liarrulled shot gun in its usual place, and a small "Smith A. Wesson" pistol, which ho had with him, under tho pillow of tho bed, which was located in tho main room. Now comes tho sad part of tho story i .Mrs. hturgw, with her little UiIkj, retired nlxmt S o'clock. Tho babe, only livo months old, m lying mi tho left sido of its umtlior, dreaming as only babes can dream; tho mother, liku uit who hod worked tho live-long day, sleeping that quiet sleep that nothing but tho little "precious" by her sido could disturb. Tho clock had just struck ten w hen Sturgis, aroused by somo fantasy of tho brain, picked ijuickly tho revolver from under tho pillow, cocked it, and in his dreamy state, while lying in the bed, discharged it. Tho bullet sited to its destination, iassing through tho abdomen of tho mother and tho heart of tho child. After the act Sturgis struck a light. Wo leave it to our readers to imagine what a scene was there, and what met his eyes as tho tltful match dlic!osecd vcrything. I neither havo pen or tongue to dcscrilo further. Last Sunday, tho agonized father followed to the grave tho wife and child. Wo have only to add that "truth is stranger than fiction." Mac. Opium Smoliers. Officer Win. Itarkcr made a raid last evening upon a Chinese opium den and captured one of the inmates. Ho would have caught more of them, but a white boy stood guard, and when Barker came along ho gave tho alarm and then scooted up a dark alley. Tiie police succeeded in collaring oue a Chinaman who was too much under the influence of tliu drug to escape. It is supposed that there were several white boys in the building, smoking that poisonous I drui;. T.
