publicity given this state in many
of the leading papers of the coun

It's fin ill bomb that blows up
nobody good.
Accidents will happen in the best
regulated fireworks.
A eood aim is rather to be chos

Never put off till tomorrow what
you can fire to-night.
It's a wise father who knows his

He who shoots and runs awty
may live to shoot another day.

terminals for the Oregon Electric
Railway Compauy. Passenger and
freight depots will be- erected on
this block and all the traffic from
the new Salem liue will be collect
ed and delivered at that point.
Work on these buildings will be
commenced as soon as the ground
is cleared of the present structures.
Track for this road has been
completed from the junction ot
Hood and Moody streets to the
Slavin road, in South Portland, and
the United Railways Company is
rapidly closing up the the gap to
connect the new Front-street line
with the Salem roads rails.
There is great activity all along
the line of the Oregon lilectric
Railway. Four concrete sub sta
tions along tbe line Tor the even
distribution of electricity and for
feeding it onto the trolley wire have
been commenced. These stations
will be located at Garden Home,

Willamette river at Wilsonville.
The steel is on the ground and the
piers are completed ready to receive

rails needed for the construction of
the line are on band and will be
laid as fast as the grade is ready
for it.
"I see no reason why tbe Salem
road should not be in complete op-
