Coman, general, freight and. passenger agent of the Soufhern Pacific-line in Oregon, eccompaned by J. P. Jones, traveling agent, , spent Thursday night, and yesterday, ia Sa lem, looking over several matters con nected with the business of the com pany here. . " ', Mr. Coman, who is one,fof .he most vigorous, competent and accommodat ing railroad officials in the. Northwest, talked yesterday in a hopeful way of the progress and prospects for. future growth cf the V."iiiamettevally and Western .Oregon. This country is fill Ing up with people now, anil the tide of Immigration to Oregon has only fair ly started, i The present cheap rates that are bringing so many new people here will be in effect until the 15th. of June, and they will probably be 'put in force, again this fall, as they were last falL ". - r Mr. Coman is especially proud pf the showing of his field with respect to the assistance rendered to ' the- immi gration department of . the Ilarriman lines, working in the East for new peo ple foe this .section. , Hera is the show ing:, .-'." j ' Pamphlets out: 1 ' ' " : Salem.

Oregon were slow. lie is gratified with the showing they have made in response ' to " the call for printed matter, by 4 the immi gration department.; "No in would have thought," said he, "Ave or six years ago. that such a' response " would ne mid - . Mfi,,Coinan says the distribution of literature Is having Its effect. The peo ple who are now coming to the Wil lamette valley. The managers of the other lines entering Portland are. say ing that -90 per cent of the people ar riving there are bound for Western Oregon points. They haVe heard about Western Oregon and the 'great Wll lamette valley in their Eastern homes, through the literature. dlatributed. The fever is on, the start is made, and the work will go. on. This la only a Start. Nearly 200 people went out "of "Portland In one day lately fro. Western Oregon points, on Immigrant tickets. , j 8alm the Pioneer. . 'Salem was the pioneer In preparing and furnishing circulars of informa tion. Salem set the pace, for the-style of circulars prepared, by the Greater talem Commercial Club - has. been the style . adopted and followed by alt the other towns. It is the style wanted by the Ilarriman neonle. , Salem lias already furnished 35,000 copies of her descriptive, circulars in all, and another 80,000 are now on the presses' and being printed as fast as possible. The printing will be com pleted Within a few days, and the bind ing will, go forward, so that .in a few days more th copies will begin to go to the Ilarriman Immigration depart ; ment in Chicago, to be sent out from there to people Inquiring about Oregon. This 80.000. it is predicted, wilt not b the last. Theirjmmense benefit will ne piainry seen oy aii. ana me Mam ma n people will call for 1 80. S 00 more, and then still other; hundred thousands, and they wili.be forthcoming. : It costs less than $1,000 to put 100. 000 of these circulars, thirty-two pages and cover printed In three colors, with .

L , , . numerous luuimuon in ine nanus ui the Ilarriman people in Chicago, and then the Ilarriman-people- spend sever al times $1,000 In distributing them and talking up Oregon ,lorths people Into whose bands they go. There could in no other way be such a cheap and effective- distribution,- It would cost $1,000 In l- : cent postage Uinpft alone to mail 'these circulars, to say nothing of the envelopes. . the el-bor of mailing.' etc, even If -Salem had the 100.000 addresses. ..There is the rob.

HANDSOME BUILDING NEARER CITY DO NOT RUIN MARION SQUARE AS HAS BEEN WILLSON AVENUE. ', , ' (From Saturdaiya Dally.) Editor Statesman: , One of the features that is particu larly noticed and commented on ' by most of the new people who visit Sa lem, Is 'the location and surroundings of the passenger depot.' r If. as claimed by many ; people the first - Impression formed Is hard to eradicate, then Sa lem hardly ha V fair show. The pa pers state that the TwebTth street grade Is to be lowered, and perhaps the management of the S. P. R. R. cpuld be induced to renew i'ue offer 'once made to put a respectable passenger depot somewhere between State and Center streets. ' It would relieve those who chance to be around the depot when the trains arrive of the trouble of explaining "how it all happened. We have outgrown that particular lo cality. ! A DENIZEN. Woodman, Spare the Trees. Editor Statesman: I Amovement is on foot for improv ing and beautifying our , two public parks.'; That is all right so that taste and sense is manifested in doing it. An effort of this kind was made some years ago In Willson avenue which re sulted In a dandy J barbering of trees, the ridiculous effects of which they have never recovered from. For, heav en's sake, don't, treat them to another dose of that. It is generally difficult to improve, upon nature in that field. She has given us a .most beautiful park irt Marion Square, one that receives the plaudits of all strangers. Take out of it all else but its trees, put In a few seats if iou like,; and leave it as it will then be.j We are proud of It. The shanties In it have ever marred its beauty and been more or less a source of scandal. Don't replace them with others. THE STATELY FIRS. VICTIM OF BASEBALL BARL MLTNOFLL.

The good ladies of the Marion Square Improvement League stand a good chance to have ' their exchequer materially enriched because Bill Clag gett will not take a bluff. Fred W. Steusloff, " the popular meat market man. ought to have known this.' but he did. not, hence he will" have to put up. for he Is not the sort of a man who will shut up. Fred told the so liciting ' committee of the League that he would give ia dollar for every .' 60 cents Bil Claggett - would give. vWben the committee called upon Mr. Clag gett .he readily subscribed ' $5. ' and told, them he would double the" stfrti If necessary, t Then he heard :of . the proposition , of Mr. Steusloff and .this put him on his mettle. It is certain that the proposition of Mr. Steusloff will cost him $20. and it may cost him $50 or $100. Mr. Claggett lives down by Marion Square, as does Mr. Steus loff. Mr. Claggett could give $25 or $50 towards the" fund : for' the " im provement of the Square, and still have enough left to buy a beefsteak, for supper, and he may conclude to make Mr. SteuslofTs offer cost him several times more than he calculated upon when he made It. And in the meantime the good ladies are looking around for more people who want to give a dollar for every fifty cents put up by i Bill Claggett. They have ; al- ready secured pledges for well up wards of $150. and if they keep on they will be able to build a band stand with 'a belfry In it, and " paint it red, and have a fountain with gold fish in It. and build cement walks all around and put out flower beds and plant rose bushes and line the walks with daisies and things. . All these things go to show that you never know what you can do till . you try. and also that, 1 as President McKinley said, the best things tn this world are not lost try asking for them, r '.: ' Benton Clackamas ...
