FEOM FRIDAY'S DAILY.
A Rrwccxocs EEQrntxx or. A gen
tleman of this city, who denned to pur
chase two tickets to San Francisco,
telegraphed to E. P. Rogers, general
passenger agent of the 0. & C, asking
him to aend him immediately two limited
through ticket to Ban Francisco. Mr.
Roger responded that it could not be
done. The gentleman insisted, and tele
graphed him M. the price of two tickets
from Portland, and asked him to send
the tickets that evening without fail, as
the ladies (or whom he wanted the tick
ets desired to start the next day. The
passenger agent replied, saying that the
ladies coold not board the train at Salem
and go to San Francisco on a through
ticket; bat it woo Id be necessary for
. them to go down to Portland, board the
train there, and start from that place to
San Francisco! The gentlemen there
opon sent $00 for two unlimited tickets,
which can be nsed at any time and from
any station. This is one of the methods
the present management of the O. & Q.
has of extorting eight dollars on each
ticket sold to buyers living outside of
Portland. It is nothing short of robbery
of time and money to require any one to
go from Salem to Portland to board a
train which comes immediately back
tbroagh Salem.
Heavy Wheat Saimsarrs. W. F.
Crosby, who has been baying wheat at
Salem and other Willamette valley towns
for the firm of Moore, Fargpson & Co., of
Kan Francisco, has left for that city, go
ing overland. He will return in a few
weeks. During the pant season Mr. Cros
by has shipped 940,000 boshels of wheat
and oats, and has purchased ready for
shipment s sufficient amount to increase
these figures to 1,500,000 bushels. This
grain was purchased from Marion, Linn,
and Benton counties and from southern
Oregon, and of this amount 018,000 bush
els were shipped via Yaquina and 22,000
via Portland. The cause for such a large
portion of Oregon grain being shipped
over the Yaquina line is found in the fact
that the low rate of traniNrf:iCu over
this shorter route has bronchi the price
of wheat inaletn to as a figure as
is offered in Portland, i hi season is the
first time in the history of Salem when
wheat wa worth as much here as in
Portland.
Will be Keibeexted. For a time it
looked as though Salem intended to
throw off entirely on the firemen's tour
nament. But it now transpires that a
hose team has been organised and will
soon go into active training for the cham
pion hose contest at the tournament.
Some time since, several of the members
of Capital Engine company, following the
precedent established last year by the
Astoria firemen, withdrew from their
company and joined Tiger's. The latter
company now intends to send a mixed
team to the tournament, to lie known as
Tiger Hone Team, which will make a
noble pull for the championship of 1837.
Its members are as follows: Howard,
Patton, Dinnmore, Jordan, McCully,
Minto, D., Martin, Thorn a, Minto, II.,
Thornton, Long, Wagner, Nichols, Lowe.
Fbatebxal Visitation. The grand
lodge of Odd Fellows, now in session in
Fast Portland, learning with deep sorrow
that Past Grand Master E. L. Bristow
was quite sick in Salem, with but little
hope of his recovery, sent a committee
of past grand masters to visit him, on
behalf of the grand lodge, and bear to
him its y m path v and hope of his imme
diate recovery. The committee consisted
of Judge Walton (Eugene City), Fhtl.
Metschan, T. J. Bloomtield, John Ken
worthy, and Mr. St. John. They came
up Wednesday evening, and spent a good
portion of the time with Mr. Bristow,
returning Thursday morning, to report to
the grand lodge. Mr. Bristow has long
been an Odd Fellow, has received the
highest honors of the order, and bears
the esteem of all who know him.

one of the men who burned W. S. Iudd's
barn in Multnomah county, ami who
with his accomplice, Robert Burney. is
now Incarcerated in the penitentiary,
has been denied a new trial by the su
preme court, a confession of Burney's,
acquitting Roberts from all guilt in the
matter has been opened in Portland. It
is very deubUul if any reliance should be
placed in the confession. Anyway, it
cant help Roberts, as he is now in prison,
serving out his sentence. However, be
might be pardoned.

home in Yamhill county, last Thursday,

Not Dhowxed. Later information from
Yaquina concerning the capsizing of the
Indian fishermen's boat there, Monday,
contradicts their being drowned. The
boat drifted north to Cape Foul weather,
where they went ashore and walked back
to Newport. A facetious business man
of Newport slanders the fishermen of the
bay by saying that very little attention
is paid to these red men going down in
the sad sea waves. If an Indian fisher
man falls overboard he is mourned about
as much aa if a monkey-wrench had
dropped over, and a new man is brought
down from the reservation.

extensive scale, and every means of so
cial enjoyment "was afforded. Several
boors glided by in pleasant conversation,
in listening to the entertaining piano ren
ditions of Misses Kate Ladue and Jessie
Breyman, and in discussing the delecta
ble luncheon which was served at a suit
able hour. Mrs. Breyman was assisted in

Horsx Bcbxed at McCot. While
G. W. Stovall, the stage driver between
Salem and McCoy, Polk county, was in
this city on Thursday night, his dwelling
house, with all its contents, at McCoy,
was bnmed to the ground. Mr. Stovall
is a widower, and himself and son have
been keeping bouse. His son wss the
only person in the house when the fire
broke out, which was between 11 and 12
o'clock at night. Young Stovall barely
escaped with bis life, his bat, boots and
all his clothing, except his overalls and
underclothes, being burned. It is thought
that the fire started from a stove-pipe
through a partition. Mr. Stovall's loss is
about $1,500; insured in the Home Mu
tual for $500. He lost all his private pa
pers and keepsakes. About 12 : 30 it was
discovered that the sack warehouse of
Hawler, Kelly, Fletcher & Co., the rail
road depot and duelling house of Rev.
Gardner were also on fire, but were
promptly extinguished by neighbors.
These latter fires probably caught from
the first. '
TUE SOCIETT EXTEKTAISJtXJfT. A gOOd-
si zed audience was present at the opera
house, last evening, at the entertainment
of the Alka-IIesperian and Atbeiueum
societies. The programme from begin
ning to end was excellent, and
listened to with attention by the
auditors ; while the encores were
frequent. Miss" Downs, who was the
principal attraction, added, even, to the
estimation in which she was held by the
Salem public. Her delivery is very pleas
ant, and her elocution finished. The re
mainder of the performers are all well
known as beiag the very best in their
several capacities, and words of praise
concerning them are almost superfluous.
Edccatiosal Noras. Prof. McElroy
has returned from Southern Oregon,
where he has been in the interest
of educational work. Prof. McElroy
made arrangements for holding the insti
tute of the first judicial district at Grant's
Pass, on July 13th, 14th and 15th. This
district comprises Lake, Klamath, Jack
son and Josephine counties. An excur
sion to the state teachers' association, to
be held in this city in Jnly, was also ar
ranged for. The professor leaves to-day
for eastern Oregon, -and will attend to
some institute matters in the sixth judi
cial district. He will also be present at
the county institute at Prineville, Crook
county, on May 25th, 26th and 27th.
Salem Bicyclists. The eight bicy
clists from Salem, who started for Port
land at 6 o'clock Thursday, arrived at
their destination safe and sound at about
5 o'clock of the evening of the same day.

men stood it very well. Their names
are as follows: Glenn Lewis, Lot.
Pearce. Harry Fisk, Salem; Burt Lucas,
Al. Whitaker, Monmouth ; Charley
Smith, Ack Smith, Breese Riggs, Dixie.
Lot. Pearce returned 'from Portland on
hut evening's train, bringing his wheel
with him.
ArroijfTED Postmaster. Chas. T. Man
ning, formerly employed by Litchfield &
Manning, and late by John Hughes, of
this city, has received the appointment
as postmaster at Carbonado, Prince Co.,
W. T. He is clerk for the Carbon Hill
Coal Co. there. He is a republican, and
was appointed to the otlice because of the
absence of competent democrats in the
town. The former postmaster, a demo
crat, appointed about a year ago, was
short several hundred dollars in his ac
counts, hence his discharge.
Labob Dat Celkbratiox. The two
assemblies of Knights of Labor of this
city have begun preparations for the cel
ebration in grand style of Labor day
June 4th. The day's exercises will con
sist of a procession in the morning, and
a picnic at Marion Square in the after
noon. Several prominent speakers have
been engaged, and their addresses will
add to the interest of the occasion. All
organizations which have for their ob
ject the elevation of laber, temperance
societies, granges, etc., will be invited to
participate.
High Watek u the Rirca. The
warm weather of the past week has
melted the snow in the mountains, on all
the tributaries of the Willamette, and as
a consequence has caused the water in
the river to rise daring the past few days
without the aid of rain. This is some
thing seldom seen here, but of frequent
occurrence hi the Colombia. The water
is falling again. .

STILL THEY COME.
A Still Farther List of Improvements
in Buildings Completed and
Under Way.
A walk through the streets of Salem
will convince the most skeptical that this
city is enjoying a good substantial boom.
On every hand improvements of some
sort are being made. Either new build
ings are being pot op, or old ones re
paired and renovated, old sidewalks are
being torn up and new ones put in.
Fences are also being improved in ap
pearance. Houses are being painted,
and the appearance of things generally
is being improved. A list of the many
improvements contemplated and under
way has already been published, and
there are yet more to add.
One of the most important on the ad
ditional list is the East Salem school
house. It is intended to entirely finish
this building this coming summer, and
have it ready for occupancy by fall. All
of the six rooms in the second story will
lie finished, and a part of them will be
furnished. This school building will then
be the finest in the state, outside of the
Portland High school. The entire cost
of the improvements will be over $3,000.
Plans have been drawn and approved
for the improvements which are to be
made at the state house. The large
room at present occupied by the clerk of
the board of land commissioners will be
converted into the state treasurer's office.
A fine counter of walnut finish, sur
mounted by ground glass, will be pat in.
Outside of the counter will be placed
desks and other apparatus for the con
venience of the public, while the space
inside will be converted into two rooms,
divided by a glass partition , one for the
use of the state treasurer, and the other
for the assistant treasurer. From the
bitter's room only will general business
be transacted, and only a few feet of the
high counter willl be open for this pur
pose. The arrangement of the rooms is
such that the vault will only be accessi
ble in day time by going through all
three rooms. An-elevator, running from
the bottom to the top story, will be
placed in tbe ante-room of the present
treasurer's office. Tbe land clerk's office
will be removed into the room just across
the hallway. The sum of $30,000 will be
spent on the state house improvements.
Superintendent Gray, of the blind
school, is now making arrangements for
extensive repairs to the school building.
The building wilt be raised, and thor
oughly renovated. The cost will be
$2,000.
The board of trustees of tbe deaf mute
school has ordered tbe construction of a
separate building to be used as an in
dustrial department of the school. The
work will be commenced soon. The cost
will be $1,000.
Mr. Brey has decided to build his new
brick on the southwest corner of Court
and Commercial streets. The buildings
now occupying that site are being moved
out, and the construction will commence
as soon aa the plans are completed and
brick can be obtained. The building
will be one suitable to the location. Cost,
about $12,000.
J. M. Rosenberg & Co. have been
making improvements in the White
Corner during the past week. An awn
ing has been placed on the north side of
the building, and a fine balcony placed
on the inside.
F. J. Catterlin has bought the property
just south of Jos. Baker's, on Liberty
street, and is rebuilding the house. En
tire cost, $2,000.
The work on the store rooms in the
new brick block is going ahead. The
finish will be elegant.
Dr. J. A. Byrd is building quite an ad
dition to bis residence in East Salem.
Mrs. A. H. McCully has been repairing
her residence in East Salem. Among
other things a fine bay window has been
put in.
E. A. Kaiser is making improvements
on his house in North Salem.
Another new brick building is pro
jected to be built on Commercial street,
and if arrangements are all made, work
will be commenced soon. The building
will be a fine one. '
A Limited Rcsaway. Yesterday
morning, Frince Byrne, in the employ of
Minto Bros., as teamster, left his team
hitched to a wagon standing for a few
minutes in his barn yard on Ferry street,
near the M. E. Church. On the seat of
the wagon were the two children of Mr.
Byrne, aged respectively 5 and 3 years.
During his absence the youngsters picked
up the lines and whip and started in to
have a ride on flieir own account. They
bad it. Tbe team started on a run and
before Mr. Byrne could return, had cir
cled around the yard twice at a rapid
rate, and brought np against the fence,
and damped the two children out in a
mud bole. The tongue and single trees
of the wagon were broken. The chil
dren fortunately were not hurt.
The Baptist Mixisteb. Rev. Mr.
Medberry, now temporarily located at
Seattle, has been asked by the vestry of
the Baptist church to come and officiate
in their church for the two Sundays fol
lowing next Sabbath. It is understood
that this is a "trial trio," and that if Mr.
Medberry proves satisfactory be will be
retained. Mr. Rogg, tbe fats pastor of
the church, is still in tbe city, and has
received several urgent calls. He bat
not accepted any as yet, but he will prob
ably remain in Oregon.
Caazr Mas. John Tuck, a farm hand,
aged a boat 46 years, was yesterday ex
amined before Judge Shaw and District
Attorney Belt, and by lh. Hall and Cu

widower with two children. He lost his
balance over religious topics, and wants
to be a second Abraham and sacrifice
his children. He was ordered commit

FROM SUNDAY'S DAILY,
New Pcxps. Tbe Salem Water com
pany has ordered of a San Francisco firm
new steam pumps of a capacity of 2,000,
000 gallons per dsy, which will be placed
at the aide of the 'present pumps in the

Friday evening, in honor of her birthday.
Tbe evening was spent in recitations,
singing, games, etc At 10 o'clock the

Joe Lee, Will Perry, aod Clark Rogers.
Inspiring Music. Tbe most inspiring
ef all music is that given by a chorus of
many voices ; and when those voices are
ladies', and blend sweetly and harmoni
ously, the effect is grand beyond descrip
tion. One of the chief features of the
entertainment to be given by Miss
Cbamberlln and pupils on Wednesday
evening, Jane 1st. will be the ladies'
chorus, of fifty voices, which is grilling
hard for its sppearence on that occasion.
The programme, which is now complete,
snd will be given to the public in a few
days, is full of excellent numbers. That
the entertainment will be a successful
one there is not the slightest doubt.

Paid Their Taxes. The Oregonian
Railway Company (limited), the narrow,
gauge lines, paid their taxes to Marion
county yesterday. The amount was
$1,504.98. SherifT Minto lias always had
trouble in collecting the taxes of this
company on their property in this county.
This year he went down to Woodburn
and attached the machine shops, section
house, etc., and locked them up and put
a man in charge. The payment was
made by check by Hugh Roger. This
company has come to believe that Sheriff
Minto is a hard man to "standoff" in
the matter of taxes. The delinquent list
promises to le the smallest in this county
for years.
Articles Filed. Articles were yester
day filed in the office of the secretary of
state, incorporating the East Portland
Vancouver Railway and Ferry company ;
incorporators, C. B. Bellinger, J. R.
Wheat, and A.J.Knott; capital stock,
