The postoffice department has received reports from Spokane, Washington. howing that the order to fumigate the mails leaving that place for British Columbia has not. as V1 been ' carried1 iout.

Find ttlm Ilanlneaa Men IntereMted la the Old K-hool-He "Will Cam. for 8ubcriition. (From Daily, Jan. 27th.) j For the. purpose of cscerlaining the feeling ot Salem people toward Wil lamette University, Rev. G. W. Gran- the pioneer institution, ha interyitwed a .number of the business men it the city, and received sufficient encour . agejtient to .warrant him in starting a systematic canvass to secure funds for the support of the , school during the season. Rev. Grarinis discusses the matter, and his plants in that connec tion, in the following communication to the Statesman, received yesterday: "Kditpr Statesman: I wish to say to Salem's citiens that the" spccial sub scription for the. support of Willam ette University is growing slowly. I have seen personalty a number. o the leading business men of the city, j and in no imtanrc have I been repulsed. All assure "me that they are interested in the school and will aid ti the efforts being made to put it on a surer foue- willing to say how much they can do, in. view of the uncertain outlook" for trade for the coming year. I - have concluded that it will be. best to defer the general canvass of our citizen's ur.: til a .little-later in the season. 1 "I have planned to spend ? February in Eastern Oregon and Washington, and ' Northern Idaho, visiting the pas tors of the various charges in thatjsec tion of our patronizing territory, j en listing their cp-ocration " in stcttring students for the coming year, ami look ing; after; some, property interests!, the university holds. in that section.- f ."About the 1st of March, T intend to take up the general canvass- of ; Sa- irm. 'ti an ouisiuc oinrs 1 visit -ana since 1 have taken charge of the, work 1 have visited twenty-five Communities and spoken thirty times in the interest of the university I am asked 'What will Salem do?' I have fc-en able to answer thus far that thirteen of flier citizens have subscribed to the $tOxoo supplementary current expense fund I am raising, and the amounts subscribed aggregate $1500. II the others will Idq as well, there will be no doubt about the, s'lcces of the present effort. land success in rthis assures success in the greater efforts -yet , to follow. j "The importance ;of this enterprise is so great that the most cheerful liberal ity of all classes of our citizens should be shown. ; Don't wait to be asked; send in your names and the amounts you are willing to give, as a few have already done, and the future of the Uni versity rs assured to Salem for all, the years to come. '"!'- 'l spent a Sunday not long since in Forest Grove, and it did nifc great good to listen to the story of the citizens of that community, told with evident pride, that they had given $15,000 to their school. , Forest Grove has per haps 1000 population. Salem has at least 10.000. Hence it will be acn thai if she gives to . Willamette in propor tion as Forest Grove gave to the Pa cific university not $10,000, but $150,000 will be laid upon her altars,' I speak of this only to show you what can be done when the importance of the work is fully realized by the people who reap directly the commercial, social and ed ucational advantages of the school. , , "GEO. W. GRANNIS,, ""'Financial and Endowment Agent." TKf STARS ON THUS SUCUS. The letter carriers of, Salem's free mail delivery service have received the stars that are to adorn. heir si eeves henceforth, to take the rtkce of the stripes they have heretofore worn. Af- ter a carrier has been in the service of his Uncle Samuel for five years m the capacity of delivering mail, be is he puts on- two stars on each sleeve After ten years of steady employment, he put on two stars on each sleeve. The first two stars are black, and near ly the same color as the garments, jk that they are scarcely visible to the naked eye, especially if it be affected with a little touch of astigmatism or dimness for any other cause. But when one has faithfully trudged the streets for fifteen long yearsv a star of a brighter color is added.- as a mark ot distinction and honor. There is no Salem carrier entitled to wear the third star as yet, .but in two mr,A 9 Uolf vrir 4rore Georee Hatch, jthe dean of the Salem force, will blos som out with the third aecorauon 01 the more pronounced hue. It is pre sumed that each five years thereafter a star of a still brighter color will be provided, t with, possible a hak or a nimbus to match. m After fifty years, there should bea golden ornament, of the size, weight, color and fineness of a twenty dollar gold piece. If any one of the faithful, servants shall not have earned such a substantial and ornamental deco-atic-n at the end of that time, he should be put on the retired list, with a bright red paper giving bim his dismissal. It is no-light task to deliver and take up the mail 'in this "city of magnificent distances,'? and to listen to all the long handled kicks that come to one's lot in the devious and tedious rounds. j NEWS OF .BLUE RIVER. mmm mm mmmw .

THE AR IS ENDED. New York, Jan. 26. A dispatch to the Hera4,ixoJU . Manila .Jiaysi." The war in the Philippine is over. , No further surrender can be hoped for. The danger in the present situation is that a bloody feud may arise between the American army and the Filipinos. This danger can be greatly lessened by action ot congress,; which is now im perative, outlining i the policy of : the government in the: Philippines. It is likely that many insurgents, arc still holding out for the very terms which congress will be willing to give. The time is ripel for a conciliatory policy, allowing the Filipinos to have some say as to the nature of the gov ernment under which they will be obliged to live. I CAN GAMBLE, TOO.

The other speakers- who have accepted invitations are fudge M. C. Gcorsrc and Judge A. II., Tanner. The Mount Tabor Military band has also accepted an invitation to be present and give some patriotic se lections. , This will add very much to the occasion. There will be other music interspersed between the addresses. On former occasions it has been the cus tom of having one extended address, but this will' be changed so that there wiM he several short talks on particluar phases- of the life of Abraham Lincoln; including his boyhood, his career as a lawyer, his administration as president, arid a present view of Lincoln.

FOURTH LISTED NEARLY FIF-rEEar HO'DBED VOTERS HAVE BEX REGISTERED. v Some KotArlea nd Magistrate Slow in i ) forwmrdlngr Their Report to 'tbe County Clerk. (From Daily, Jan. 27th.), The registration of voters in I Marion county goes merrily on, and up to the close Of office hours last evening, the county clerk had entered on his regis ter 1397 voters, while 97 reports of no taries and justices'of the pcace-r-regis-trations of as many voters were on file to be entered early this morning, making ' the total registration, reported up to date, 1495. This number is about 25 per cent of the total vote of Marion county at the last election. In imany instances the country magistrates, to whom " registration books and blanks have been sent, arc known to have registered many voters, but thus far few reports have reached the county clerk's office of their action. The law is plain in providing a report "forth with," which apparently is interpreted by some of the officers in question as "any old time." t Many of the notaries and magistrates arc well supplied with blanks, County Clerk Hall having sent sufficient; sta tionery to those applying to more than register every voter.. , in the precinct, there .being now 3500 blanks in' the hands of notaries and justices through out the county, yet some of the notar ies, who have reported less than half , . . . . r ,. t 1 w imiiiwr ui icSuiiuii ii ""4V" j they were provided with blanks,- arc 1 tncy . were prov clamoring for n.orc stationery, and are very ' vehement in their demands. 4 . Justices of the peace and notaries are supplied with blanks in many precincts but in some instances such officials do no exist, and the result is that; few voters from those districts register.

The ereatcr oortion of the session of the i . - . . ...... ..1 -1 house, today, was aeyotea 10 euiogrcs on the life and public services of the late Vice President Garret A. Hobart. A bill to authorize the ' secretary of state to Day the Australasia and China Telegraph Company the amount of cx-j pense incurred in repairing the Ma-nila-Hong-Kong cable, cut by Admiral Dewey, during the war with Spain, pro voked considerable opposition. This was the first bill carrying an apprcH priation ! to indemnify the company for the property destroyed during the Spanish war. . , ; Mahon took the position that it was not liable for loss, due to " interruption of the cable, but qnlv, for the actual ex pense .of repai?i,ng . te cable. Ray, oj New York, said there were thousands of : claims pending and he thought it would establish a dangerous precedent to "pay one which the attorney general had reported against. 11 it t, chairman of: the foreign affairs committee thought the. bill should be amended sol as ; to state .specifically that, the claim; was an act of grace. Ray pointed oulj that, since American occupation of. thej Phillipines, the cabl &, company had don more business in a Single year than it would have done in twenty had the war not, occurred. He thought therj was no equity in the claim. No action was taken on the bill. THE CANAL BILL. Washington.

" j COMMERCE DEPARTMENT j Washington, Jan. .26. The question of establishing . a department of the government to be known as the depart ment of commerce, with a cabinet otric cr at its head, has been discussed ait considerable length by the senate comj mittee on commerce. The discussion was based upon a very complete report on f the subject prepared by Senator Nelson. It is proposed to. include in the new department a bureau of manufactures, and to transfer from the treasury dej partment the lifesaving. lighthouse, marine, hospital and steamboat inspec tion service, the bureaus of navigation. immigration, statistics and. coast and geodetic surveys; to transfer fittim the interior department the commissioji of railway, the census office and the geo detic survey and from the state depart ment the bureau of foreign commerce.

MANUFACTURERS FIND LITTLE TIf A TAT.' 1VT .VMI I TI, IT-t- Woolen Factories Open the Season With Enormous Tr.d:f-Fail urcs of the Past Wdck. NEW YORK, Jan. 26. R. G. Duji & Co.'s Review of Trade tomo.rroW will say: , No news is always good iews. New business lor the manufacturers this year has been light in some branches, and much below the production of laist month. It ris, perhaps, too often for gotten that the industries start this year with larger contracts ahead than ever before, and when half the work of the whole year . has been drdcrcd in advance; ther cannot continue quite the same activrty in. new-buiing. The woolen manufacturer has, jiist opened a new season with the largest transac tions ever known in a single week, jit is said, but in most otherj lines tjie contracts previously booked would make a similar activity impossible. Yet there is seen enough of jhesitatidn, caused by advanced prijes.l to make the inactivity trying. The distribution ,to consumers throughout the -country is rapid and large, especially in the quarters where it has been, feared that the retailers were overburying so that there is tsrong confidence in the fu tv.reL ' v j The failures for the week have been 2jr in the United States agairist 22A last year, and thirty-eight - in Canada as against thirty-three last yean :; on Native soil. .
