When the Willamette college board of trustees set a price of $1,000,000 on their property, which has been considered as a possible aile for the new stale capitol at Sa lem, Governor Marlin stated he "blushed to comment on the re port.” The price is considered out of the question, and Governor Mar tin's suggestion that the capitol lie built on a hill site overlooking the city of Salem from the south.

The site mentioned commands a view of the entire city, and would set the capitol In an Imposing position, where It could be seen for miles.
