The Salem Flouring Mills.
Daring tbe preterit season, and In
deed since the Flooring Mill passed
into present bends, tbey have been
doiog a heavy and successful business,
id building up nn enviable repntation
as for snperior quality of products
manufactured and for good business
management. Quite lately Messrs. B.
C. Kinney Sons, wbo were tbe prin
ciple owneM nd managers, have be
come sole proprietors. One of tbe eons
remains in San Francisco attending to
business there, the Agency being
kooirn as Kinney Bros., and with sucB
success has the manufacture bere been
carried on and the Agency there been
managed that Salem bakers and family
brands of flour command tbe best and
most reliable market in. that city, the
shipment being generally engaged be
fore ibeir arrival, by the heavy baker
ies of San Francisco for their own use.
Only one-tenth of tbe floor manufac
tured by these mills is. consumed in
Oregon, the- remainder goes abroad.
Tbrea-fonrtbs of Che entire product are
tbe best brands of extra grade flour,
and command in San Francisco the!
very highest .figure quoted in that
market., W hate taken some pains to
ascertain luo tu 1 " - -
or tbe Salem Flouring Mills Co., siuce
last harvest, and learn that the amount
of wheat purchased during that time
approximates two hundred and twenty
thousand . tuisbels, fifty thousand of
which is still on hand, either in store
bere or io warehouses up tbe river.
Tbe Company will grind as tepidly as
possible, nigbt and dy, until tbe 6 ret
of July and will be likely to use two
hundred and fifty thousand bushels by
that time.
An estimate as to tbe product in
flour of the amount of wheal already
ground al in band shows a great in
crease of business over any other
year's work. Tbe 320,000 bushels
will realize something over 50,000 bar
rels of flour, amounting to 5,000 tons,
and that is much less than the entire
capacity of the mill, as io case that it
should run night aoJ day with a con
stant supply of grain for tbe whole
year, tbe product would amount to
9,000 tons. This year tbe Salem Mills
will manufacture nearly, if not quite,
as much flur as both the Imperial
Mills it Oregon City and tbe Standard
Mills at Milwaukie, which we believe
to be the largest in tbe State next to
those of our own city. During the
past year several cargoes of Salem
flour have been shipped to markets io
foreign countries, where only the best
grades find sale, but thete is little in
ducement for tbe proprietors to seek a
foreign market for their products so
long as tbey have a certain demand io
Sao Francisco from a reliable cash
trade. The Company has lately re
fused two good offers for cargoes on
that account.
District School Meeting.
It seems that for purposes of levying
a tax, tbe meeting of the voters of this
District, lately held, was not legal, the
notices not being posted according to
law, tbereforefore the Directors Have
bad other notices posted calling for
another meeting to be held April 24th,
(next Monday). We call attention to
this faet for the purpose of making tbe
: voters ol the whole District fully nns
derstand that if they want free schools
they most be present on that cession
and act and vote understanding. It
is a matter of vital importance to the
people to have education general and
free, but there are a few men wbo
have tbe misfortune to be heavy props
erty. owners and upon whom tbe wegbt
of taxation comes wilh tbe more force
because money is thei i Go1, and tbey
want to keep it convenient for frequent
worship. These men will be present
and have every , vote -there they can
obtain control of, an 1 they will favor
a . tax of about one mill for the purpose
of nailing up the fences around tbe
school houses and no more Turn out
tbe meo of Salem, and If you want
'free schools rote so and say so, and
pul this vexed, question , at rest. We
cannot have good public schools any
other wayj ' uos present aenoois are
not as efficient as tbey should be, be
. cause tbey have pot a reliable support.
Turn out then, aod so set that the ex
periment of free schools can" be fairly
tried.'- ' -;"
DoLLiDiV'S Piior-osiTioM. The folks
at Harrisburg sud Eugeoe are exercised
over tbe railroad question, as tbey are
off tbe" direct line by the best crossing
of . tbe Willamette, wbicb is to tbe east,
near Spores' ferry.- Holladar offers to
run to those 'places, however, if tbey
will raise bim sixty thousand, Collar,
as a "subsidy ,. This will'not be easy to
raise io that part of the valley, but may
be tbey can rush around and secure it
Tbe faet is that tbe railroad cannot af
ford to go back from tbe river far, as i,
will Jose a great deal of business by so
doing, and not be able to compete with
wo ooais. narrisourg is one or tne
greatest shipping points la the upper
cuun'ry and Holladay shows remarkable
'' good sense in striking for that point,
and if be can persuade the people of
Eugene and Harrisbarg to raise sixty
thousand dollars bonns, bt will be do
ing a very clear thing for himself. The
true plan for the railroad to pursue is
to operate as centrally as possible
through tbe upper part of this valley
to win all the business possible.
"! Colttmsia Cocktt.' Columbia eounty
has made more rapid progress than any
other eounty in tbe State within the past
- twelve months. . During that time it has
almost doubled " its "population." " About a
year ago tbe number of its inhabitants was
80S to-day is is 1,500, and is, besides,
constantly fining up. There are not two
sections of State land to be found for sale
in tbe eounty. From a gentleman who
has long resided there, we learn that
possesses the most . productive land in the
State. Of the . settlers seeking homes
there, the major portioa are single men
There are only about 120 families in the
county. As a proof that', even in pioneer
set tli men ts they do not enjoy that domestic
peace and tranquility which they are snp
roeed to de, we ban that six diveroe eases
are to be beard at tha next term of the Clr
' eait eeuit, which will convene there in
short time. Taking all things into consid-
' eratioa, Columbia county seems to be a
good place for those seeking homes among
be wild roses and pines. Herald.

Police. We had almost despaired of

Salem, but ' one more unfortunate" be

the other night that the gallant nightwatch
had to make au example of him, and the
Recorder fined him $5, with costs, as much
more ; so we have another practical proof
that tbcre is law in the land.

yesterday admitted to Probate. Tbe ex

T. B. Rickey. The will shows a consider
ate remembrance of many relations and
friends. The homestead is left to Mrs.
Church, and the property is to-be equally
divided between the widow and three chil
dren. The estate has been valued at about
$75,000 by those best ablo to judge of it. -
The Salem Musical Union, at their meet

A New Thisg. We are gratified to see
that Salem merchants are beginning to
open their eyes as to the necessity for doing
business on the most favorable basis. We
allude to the fact that Warner Breyman,
after purchasing a twenty-five thousand
dollar stock of goods for spring trade, has
gone East to make arrangements in New
York to send goods every steamer, so as to
be enabled to sell at more advantageous
rates thaa ever.
EcosoHY. Mr. Tom. Reynold's, the effi

adjoining Court House.
Cbem eketa Hotel. We have under

ably be a change in tbe Cbemeketa Hotel.
Tbe house is rather too extensive and mag-,

THURSDAY.
Hauseatlng.
California is baring a first elsss sen
sation to gloat over, in the long drawn
out trial of Mrs. Laura D. Fair, for
the murder of a prominent lawyer
named A. P. Crittenden. It seems
that Laura was as frail as sbe was
Fair, and bad for several years been
be " darling" of Crittenden, wbo, by
the by, was of advanced years, bad a
wjfe of a third of a century standing,
and a grown up family, all of whom
live to enjoy the remarkable exposures
which result from tbe efforts made to
defend tbe murderess. Crittenden bad
promised bis Fair ooe to obtain a di
vorce and live with ber, and had not
kept the promise. His wife bad beea
absent at tbe East for a long while,
and oa ber return be went over to Oak
land to meet her, and as tbey were
crossing tbe bay on tbe ferry boat, to
reach tbeir home In San Francisco, a
veiled woman shot him dead as be sat
by his wife's side. Tbii woman wss
bis mistress, who could not bear to
see him sitting alive by tbe side of bis
own wifs. By a tort of poetic justice
she shot bim with bis own pistol, and
be claims to bave been In a phreoty
when sbe Bred it, for sbe tells tbe
Court that sbe loved him better thaa
life and caonotlive without bra. Poor
woman I She has several husbands
yet alive, and this erring 'dead man
was the husband of another woman.
Tbe sickening feature of this trial is
tbe reading of tbe maudlin love letters
received for years past by the mistress
from ber lover. These are read and
thea published to the world. Another
feature of this remarkable trial is tbe
presence of certain strong minded,
woman' rights females, wbo stand
forward a the supporters of this mur
deress, and who utter exclamations of
approval when the prisoner passion
ately asserts tbat in tbe sight of God,
tbe dead man, whom sbe slew, was
ber husband and belonged to no other.
It is evident tbat mach sympathy
bas been gained for Laura D. Fair, not
because sbe deserved it, bnt because)
the bas so thorougblj proved tbat sbe :
was for a long time the object of the
passion of the man wbo at last became
the victim of her nngoveraabla temper.
Society cannot afford such sympathy
to exist, aad the whole matter is cause
lot regret and disgust regret that
tbe wife and family of Crittenden
should be humiliated by each expo
sure ; and disgust tbat such social
eTili exist in connection with what ia
termed the best society of our large
cities. Perhaps an exposure of this
kind may work good results ; it may
at least frighten such men from placing'
themselves so entirely in tbe power of
such women. : -. -a

Democratic Iuaet.
The Southern element of Democracy
always aid aad always will rule th
party. ; lis leaders go in for success,
and bave always bad ts rely on tbe
chivalry of the Southern Slates to
achieve it ; and to-day if tbey bad not
tied to Ku Klax white supremacy, the
bark of States rights Democracy wonld
be drifting helplessly down stream. It
is by the aid of tbe ultra secession
South, tbat Democracy bopee to sup
plant Republicanism ia 1872, and over
turn Grant, and tbey stand about tbe
same chance to do it now, that tbey did
when tbe late lamented Lee was tbe
leader of the opposition in 1865, just
six years ago, when be led tbe best or
ganisation Democracy ever led out to
wards Appomattox, aad thence over
threw Grant's plans, for. the campaign
by an unconditional surrender.
Coming events cast tbeir shadows
before, aad so tbe Democratic platform
for another Presidential election is be
ing forahadowed by the words and acts
of tbe Southern opposition. Frank Blair
struck tbe key note, when be declared
for the setting asids of reconstruction,
aud tbe overthrow of tbe constitutional
amendments, and the echo, not at all
faint, but louder tban tbe rallying cry,
came back from Alabams, and Missis
sippi, aod Kentucky, sounded by every
truly Democratic organ, clamorous for
the recognition of tbe platform under
wbicb tbe Confederacy was organised
under which Jeffersin Davis governed ;
under which Confederate Generals ral
lied tbe Southern armies to make fierce
raids across tbe northern border. That
idee as plainly expressed is that " white
supremacy " be a cardinal feature
ot our government, which means, in
Democratic logic, tbat civil rights must
be taken away from the colored race
aod tbey must lapse again into a condi
tion of servitude. Tbey teem to fear
that white supremacy is in danger from
fair competition, and can only exist by
special legislation. All Southern Dem
ocratie organs claim tbat the party is
sue is, aud must be, opposition to re
construction, and this was tbe text of a
recent speech delivered by tbe immortal
patriot Ji Oeraoa Davis himself, only a
short lime since, when be touched tbe
earls of Southern beroes by asserting
tbat the "lost cause" would yet be
indicated, aad predicted tbat be him
self would yet live to be again their
representative Oa, Democracy I to the
rescue I Jeff. Davis and liberty your
watchword, and be your leader, for
Southern men are not such a callow
brood as to tamely submit to any leader
ship than such as tbey prefer, aod the
time is close at band when the party
most assume i's true colors, sud sum
mon Jeff Davit again to the (rent as its
champion.

chased 690 acre of Merri weather Brows,
situated on the Mill Creek Bottom, at tbe

east of Salem ; price, a trifle fees thaa
twelve dollars on acre. This land is two
miles from Marion Ststioa and among th
best In thi eounty ; of course it was bought
at a bargain. Tbe same two gentlemen
have purchased 1,217 acres of land on the
Lockiiante, near King' Valley, in Polk
eounty, for tea thossaad dollar, including
S9 head of cattle, nine bead of good hones
and about 80 bead of bog,' with consider
able hay and grain aad farm implements.
Half ths land is good bottom load aad the
remainder good ttoek range." Splendid

No CoHVesierce. It is a faet which be
come gradually apparent to ths people sf
Salem that ths rail rood as now located is
oo convenience to them. , If it went three
miles from town it wonld be as handy for
their purposes as It is now when the depot
is a mils from lbs business quarter. Now
there is mutuality about business ad a the
river presents a monopoly by any railroad,
to secure business and satisfy freighter
and travellers and bave -a popular good
will ia its favor, the railroad must be oper
ated in the interest of tho wbe are ex
pected to be its customer. What ws desire
here i to have the railroad nearer the bui
nera or tbe tows, and it would be greatly
to the advantage of the road to be o. To
talk plain about it, the building of tbe road
is a present injury to Salem, and it does us
all the harm it can by "being built at all.
The river freights to sad from this point
are great, and will alway be preferred un
less the road sees its own best interest and
deserves our patronage by working for tbe
interests of tbe place. Tbi i a faet that
will grow more evident as time passes, far
we are not obliged to ass tbe railroad aad
won't use it unless we are satUled with it
auuMgsawot.

Wssr Grperree. The local of tbs liti
igant organ, saw a knife grinder aad heard
ef a fortune teller, and he west after an
item. He had read the novels where tbe
Gypsies are made to play romsatie parts,
and be had, perhaps, sung the beautiful
song of the " Days when we went Gypsy- i
ing," aad he went with these rich roman
tic ideas aglow to where the dirty tent and
ths sqsalid crew, and tbe wrinkled faced hag
wanted to tell his fortune for eash in hand,
aud he eame away disgusted, leaving hi
fortune in the hand of tbe old beldame un
told. Tbs probability ia tbat thi vaga
boodish race have never beard of the ''free
dom of tbe press " from demand for coin,
or she would have appreciated the value of
a good local item, and give a first rate
prognostication free.
Scbvets Ordered. We learn from Supt.
of Indian Affairs, Hon. A. B. Meacham,
that the Surveyor General of Oregon has
been instructed to bava surreys made on
tbe Indian Reservations of Umatilla, Klam
ath, Warm Springs and Siletx, preparatory
to allotment of lands to Indians, aad sur
veys will be made after July at Grand
Ronde. At Umatilla the surveys will show
th value ef the lands to be purchased ia
ease negotiation can be made with the In
dians there, er tbey will serve for purpose
of allotment in esse the Indian remain
there.
At Last. During the last tws day w
have had a sample of spring that
judges pronounce to be the simoa pare ar
ticle aod no mistake. We didn't like
to mention it yesterday, because every
weather item we have made this winter has
produced a change for the worse, and we
bave been threatened with bodily barm if
we interfered again, but as we are bound to
assert the freedom of the press we shall say
something now if it rains ever so hard.
Tbe advent of spring w hail with grati
tude mixed with fear that it will go back
on us. Oar eat and dog are basking in the
sunshine; everybody eat and dogs are.
Some of our most talented fellow citisea
may be seen on these sunny days leaning
against the lamp posts, whittling aad
whistling the sunny hour away, whioh Is
the genteel, hnman style of basking. Rakes
are more popular at this season than any
other .especially garden rake ; and th gen
tle ladies possibly neleet te make np tha
bouse beds, lb - flower beds bsving the
preference. The moon may or may not
hare had something to do with tbs present
summery aspeet ef affairs. The moon has
been very ehsngeabls all winter, and the
weather has not. It could not change for
tha worse aad It didn't change for the bet
ter. Perhaps whsa Lady Luaa gave the
matter ap, ths weather changed jast ts bs
contrary. We advis everybody te plant
and sow, and perhaps yoa might buy a
sewing snsehins to save labor. Wa kaow
