years of usefulness.
President Taft pressed the elec

T hirty blocks paved in Salem
will be th e record for 1909. A
five-story steel fram e building go

in g some.
T o pave or not to pave is the
question. All adm it, however,
th a t Main street should lie im
proved, b u t whether with crushed
rock, (crushed in a coffee mill we
presum e) o r pavement dope, is
still a debateable question.
South b an e county needs a good
m any more farmers, fruit growers
and dairym en, in which event Cot
tage ('.rove could lie depended
upon to k eep up with the pace.
Too many Oregon towns are de
veloped in advance of their'T ribu
tary country.
H arrison R. K incaid, who fori
forty-five years h as published the I
Oregon S tate Jo u rn al at Eugene,
suspended publication of that
paper last Friday. In his farewell
editorial he gives the printers
union and all unions as far as that
is concerned, the following rap:
T his paper m ight and perhaps
would have been continued for j
several years longer— we had de j
sired to m ake a record of carrying
on this paper 50 years—but for the %
fact that tim es have became so
good, prices of living so high and
printers so prosperous, th at tliev1
have money to give aw ay, and
would rather pay their meuiliers
for rem aining idle an d doing noth
ing, rather th an to permit them to
have steady em ployment in carry
ing on a useful business th a t uses
m aterials, furuishes employment
to several people an d benefits hun
dreds, if such business cannot pay
just as m uch w ages as some other
business can pay that has a much
greater income, or as they choose
to dem and, regardless of w hat the
business can pay. They do not
contribute a ceut to help pay the
expenses of the business. Tjjey
are not patrons of the business.
They do not know or care an y
thing about w hat au y business can
pay or whether it can lie continued
at the prices they fix. Therefore,
they have no moral right to dictate
to the owner of the property and
business w hat w ages he shall pay,
and by doing so they m ust neces
sarily reduce the num ber of em
ployers, w herever and whenever
said employers cannot meet their
dem ands, and m ust increase the
num ber of those seeking employ-
rneiit, and by such action will u lti
m ately decrease wages.
F nder these conditions, the
owuer now reluctantly discontinues
the paper, which he has edited
and published for more than 45
years continuously.
A petition to President T aft is
being circulated an d freely signed
by Oregon editors asking th at the
sentence of Chas, Nickel, the vet
eran new spaper m an of Jackson
county, lie revoked, upon
the
grounds th a t lie was convicted of
perjury in the tim ber land cases,
by self confessed perjurers and
timlier land sh ark s with a hope of tj
clearing themselves. Mr. Nickell
is under sentence of 1.1 m onths im
prisonmeut at McXieJ’s island,
which term he m ust begin serving
soon unless granted executive
clemency.

After two weeks of strenuous daily rehears
ing and drilling the beautiful Queen Esther
cantiita is m w about ready for presentation to
the people o. Cottage ( ‘.rove for the first time.
T h is grand m usical entertainm ent is under the
skillful direction of Prof- Martin E. Robinson,
who, it wifi be remembered, so successfully in
troduced the Belshazzar can tata at this place a
year ago and which received so m uch praise.
Oueeu Esther is even a more beautiful can tata,
with its m any solos, duets, quartets, choruses,
and drills. Its gorgeous oriental costumes and
scenery, in which cast and chorus fifty of Cot
tag e G rove's best singers, besides Roseburg’p
fatuous vocalist, C. Morton Hadley, tak e prom i
nent part. T he role of King Aliasuerus, is very
acceptably played by J. S. Powell, who lias a
strong an d deep bass voice well adapted to the
part. Mrs. J . O. Van W inkle, as Esther the
Q ueen, lias a clear, sweet soprano voice adm ira
bly adapted to this role.-
Dr. J. (). Vail W inkle as Mordecai, the
Jew, lias a tenor voice well suited to this difficult
role, while Miss g lia Anderson, as the Prophet
ess, sings the beautiful solos itf tl|is role ad m ira
bly, and all of the less im portant roles ip tlfe
big cast are in competent hands.
The beautiful ftnd impressive vocal duet at
the partin g of H ainan and Zereth, lps wife, as
interpreted by C. Morton H adley, of Rospburg,
and Mrs. A, Drund of this city, is alone worth
the price of admission. Mr. H adley has in ter
preted this role for Prof. Robinson, the director,
on several occasions, and is pronounced one of
the best vocalists and characters in this role ill
western Oregon. Mrs. B rand's deep contralto
voice blends beautifully with Mr. H adley’s b ari
tone. D on't fail to see this great m usical treat
at the A r m o r y T hursday anil Friday evenings.
Admission 75, 50 and 25 cents. Benefit new
