' The great building And Improvement
movement In Salem Is going on apac.
Many obstacles have been in the way
of prospective builders -all .along dur
ing the. early part of the- building-sea-won
In the! way of a lack of brick and
laborers, bur these a"veall been over
come In a measure and the work Is in
full- swing in all part of the city.
There Is a great and an apparent lack
of dwelling hohses In the t'fy on at
count of the great influx of people and
no sooner is a cottage or a mansion in
contemplation of construction than
there are at least a half dozen bidders
for the renting of them.
f One cannot walk, drive or ride in any
partlof the city or suburbs but what
he can see on every bandVither a new
houe being built, art old one being re
modeled and enlarged or a house or
barn being overhauled, repaired and
"repainted. Prices are advanced In pro
portion to the Improvements or demand
which is on the increase, and an In
vestment in Salem property is regard
ed. at this time asa very safe one.
The following- are only a few of the
many Items picked up by the. wayside.
to illustrate the truth of the above:
V I ' Th Santiam Ditch. ;
The most Important and most exten
alve repairs made in the vicinity of
Salem during, the past week was the
work done by the Salem Flouring Mills
Co. on their Santiam ditch. The water
was turned out at the Santiam last
Bunday morning and Monday morning
work waa begun on the ditch. The Sa
lem Water Works were run by steam
during the week and the Kay Woolen
Mill was Compelled to shutdown for
the week.;,. -''. . '.
The repairs on the Waller dam above
the W oolen mills was a difficult ' task.
AToufthirty-nve. loads of -rock, grav
el and cement were dumpeJ in to stop
the leak and make it permanent. At
the flume cement wall were built into
the bank for several feet on each side
to' prevent the water from escaping
around the flume. ' The bank has been
repaired wherever it needed' it and fa
now in good condition for the season's
run. ..' :
At the Stiyton end of the ditch a
force of twelve men ami six teams
were at work all the week, repairing
leaks -and - cleaning -drift " from the
mouth of the ditch and last night' at
5 o'clock Manager Babcock ordered the
water turned in at Stayton, and today
Mill Creek will assume its natural pro
portions again. The people lof Salem
have no Idea how vitally the interests
of the city are affected by the water
In Mill Creek The water works, the
Woolen Mills, the Salem Flouring Mills
and warehouses, the flax mill, the Asy
lum, the Penitentiary, and; the State
Fair Grounds, all depend iipon this
valuable ditch for their water supply
or motive power. - -
1 It Resembles Stone.
The handsome new sheet-iron build
ing which Walter Morley recently built
to accommodate his growing business
has Just bevn treated to a coat of gray
paint and now resembles in every par
ticular a . fine stone building. Of
course, it can be detected from near-by
that It fs not stone, but from a: dis
tance It reembls the real thing. The
iron covering is shaped like blocks of
stone. This Is now one of the most
handsome buildings -of its size in the ,
city, and it greatly Improves the ap
pearance ofthe block on which It is
located.-,';"'"
! ? Handsome New Cottage.
Hughes & W'llclman, .the contractors,
are ; building i a handsome one-f tor y
cottage for, Ellton Shaw on his lot on
Asylum Avenue. - The cottage, which
will contain five rooms and closets,
will cost about 66o, and when com
pleted will afford a modern and cor.y
home. .. ": -: .
i Extensive improvements are bcirg
made at the Salem Hospital in the
way of providing additional rooms, etc.
An operating room is , being built on
the first floor, which. Is an important
Improvement in itself, as heretofore all
patients to be operated upon had to be
removed to the second . floor. - After
the new room is completed each floor
will have, a separate operating room.
which will be, much more convenient
than the present arrangement.
!- By the improvements- under way an
additional bedroom will also be pro
Aided, making a total of twenty-five in

- Cardinal Satolli, In conversation with

the tired . body of the Pontiff by the
constant use 1 of powerful stimulants,
and other persons equally reliable who
saw the Pope yesterday and who had
seen him In the previous days of his
illnees, agree with Cardinal Satolli, in
saying that death has' made all its
ravages, save the , separation , of the
soul and the body. ' Yet the doctors an
nounce to the public that Pope Leo's
general condition is satisfactory.
An explanation of the apparent con-
traduction lies in the; fact that the doc
tors expected his Holiness to die long
before this, and now are exercising ,in
their bulletins the excess of caution
and comparative method ofj expression
which is Incomprehensible to .the Jajf

by the docto'ra in Italy. In private the

Rome, July 1L Though science still
may be unable, to save Pope -Leo. In his
present Illness, it has, at least,' afforui
ed - him a practically painless day.
Since Saturday morning his Holi
ness included in;f his pontifical
routine peaceful sleep, the' duration of
which gave rise to some alarm, several
visits from his doctors and audiences
with four or:flve Cardinals. For a man
of his age in perfect health '.this Sat
urday would not have "been an idle
one. " ' . , '.'...' j 'i
The tremendous superiority of the
Pontiff's mind over his frail frame can
be judged from his actions yesterday
regarding Monsignor Volponi. Tired
of the insistent excuses made by those
who were trying' to conceal from him
the fact of Monsignor Volponi" s death,
by saying that he was ill. Pope Leo
exclaimed, "Then we must appoint a
coadjutor. and he thereupon solemnly
declared that Monsignor Marin should
act as assistant to the man who was
buried on Friday. , . , '

Rome, July 11. Cardinal Oreglia is
credited with the Intention of not leav

during his j short period of supreme
power .when, after the death of Pope
Leo he will be Cardinal Camerllngo

known that he has , already decided
that, even the work necessary to build
the cells for the conclave! and walling
up of the entrances, etc shall, not be
done by the regular, papal architects
and engineers-f but by a, person enjoy

whom he has already conferred regard

He has also chosen Controller Rossi

- Pope Leo XIII (Joachin Peecl) was
bom in- 1810. After the completion of
his education, at a time when Italy waa
in a disorganised political position, he
was- Intrusted with the position of -delegate,
to Beneverrtev A few: years later
m? waa made bishop of Perugia.- In
1843 he- became - titular archbishop to
Damiettai ' On the death of Pope Plus
in 1878 he was chosen Pope, and at his
own- request was called Leo XHI." He
has- been associated- with more works
of enduring importance than any liv
ing sovereign or any Pope that ever
lived. -.''. - . - - .
- How Popes Are EUcted.
, The selection and crowning of a Pope
Is a very ceremonious affair, and an
event that concerns the Catholic church
throughout' the world. - From the mo
ment a Pope dies until his successor Is
crowned, the Vatican may be said1 to
be in a state of fervid excitement.
' On the death of. a Pope it is the duty
of the Cardinal camerlingo to formally
ascertain that fact. He does tfo by
knocking thrice on the ' door - of the
Pope's bed-chamber. Getting no an
swer, he -enters and taps thrice with
a silver majlet on the dead man's fore
head, and thrice calls his name. No
response coming, the camerlingo de
clares to the world that the Pope is
dead. V
. The body Is then embalmed, and af
ter mass has ben said over it in the
presence of the Cardinals It Is removed
to St. Peter's, where It lies in state for
nine dayfe, when the funeral proper
takes place. The next step Is the se
lection of a new Pope. He is chosen
by the conclave, a body or committee
composed of Cardinals and other high
church dignitaries.
They occupy special quarters in the
Vatican, isolated from the rest of the
building and from the outer world by
the walling up of every door ajid win
dow and apperture. , Each Cardinal
has a separate room, which is drawn
by lot. With their servants they mus
ter about 200 souls. All these men are
sworn to secrecy. "While the gathering
lasts they are forbidden all Intercourse
with the outside world. ' They even
cook their own food in a common
kitchen.
; One of the first duties is to choose
three scrutators tO, count the ballot ST.
The canons really define three kinds of
election by inspiration, by compro
mise and by ballot. Election by inspi
ration takes place wmm "all the Car
dinals, as 'if by the inspiration of the
Holy Ghost, proclaim one candidate.
As they never do this the Pope is al
ways chosen by ballot or vote.
The ballots, when open, are about
four inches long and three inches
broad. In" the first or upper section
the Cardinal writes his, name; in the
middle the name of ' the candidate
whom he proposed; In the lower section
some motto from the scriptures. Two
ballots are taken daily, In the morn
ing and afternoon, until some candi
date receives the requisite two-thirds
vote of Ihe member present.-, The du
ration of the conclave depends on many
considerations personal ambition, po
litical Intrigues and factional jealous
ies. - That ot 1800 lasted 10 ! days;
that of 1878, when the present Pope
was selected, only three days.
The moment the decision is declared
the lucky ; Cardinal . dons the papal
robes, the masons tear down -the plas
ter wall before one , of the balconies
from which the Cardinal dean pro
claims the selection to the expectant
throngs beneath, , as, for example, in
the case of the present Pope: "Cardi
nal Pecci has been chosen, and he takes
the-name of Leo -XIIL -
Coronation Ceremony. .
Then comes , the coronation ceremo
ny. It takes place In the morning,
commencing with a procession, bead
ed by the' Swiss guards, and ending, by
the new Pope, wearing a golden mitre,
carried aloft on" the sedia gestatoria,
with , a silver damask canopy borne
above his' head, flanked by the flabelll
(the great fan of ostrich and peacock
feathers), the whole surrounded by no
ble guards with drawn swords. " ":
-As the,Pope enters St. Peter's, or the
Chaptel Sistlne In the s Vatican, .where
the , coronation takes ' place, as. . the
choice remains with the pope, ; he; Is
stopped three- times by- one of : the i
clerks of the chapel, wHo. kneeling, sets
fire to some flax on the point of . a
three-pronged stick, exclaiming, in loud
and mournful voice, "Holy Father, thus
passes away the giory of . the world.
, Having descended from i, the sedia
gestatoria, the Pope proceeds , to .the
altar, and, after a. brief . prayer,-.com-mences
the introit of the mass,, which
on this occasion Is celebrated by him
self... At the end of the confession, he
takes his place on the hrone on the
left, side of the altar, while the first
Cardinal -bishop recites the three cus
tomary prayers over: him. , Then ' the
Pope returns to the altar, kneels on the
step, and while' the first Cardinal dea
con - removes his gold mitre, the sec
ond Cardinal deacon invests him with
the pontificlal pallium. This garment
is adorned with r three black silk em
broidered crosses, and constitutes the
most . sacred and : Important token : of
bis office. .- 'p "
But to - enumerate the ceremony at
all fully would be too tedicfu. Need
less to add. it ts much more lengthy
than the crowning of a temporal sov
ereign.' The most interesting part of
the whole proceedings, probably, la the
nlacina-' of ihe tiara upon the Pope's
head by the first Cardinal deacon. 'It
weighs three, pounds and is adorned,
with no fewer ' than 19,000 precious
stonets, of which 18.000 are diamonds.
As the deacon places the crown upon
the ; su preme pont i fTa head, " t e ex -claims
"Take this tiara, adorned with
three crowns, and know that thou art
the father of alt princes and sovereigns,
the ruler, of the globe, and on earth
the vicegerent of our Saviour, Jusns
Christ, to whom all honor and glory
for. ever and "lever, amen. The Pope
then rises and. wearing .the tiara, de
livers a .benediction which . completes
the ceremony of coronation.
FIERCE FIRE
r AT LINCOLN
' (Continued from page. Li
dropping from above. For fully thirty
minutes the excited fire-fighters had-rro
hope of saving the buildings, but their
perseverance was finally rewarded.
The heat was to Intense where the men
were working that. some of their cloth
ing -ca-ughJbflre, and bucketsful of the
precious water was dashed upon them.
Almost all : of the shingles had been
burned or torn .from the , roof.
' Suddenly a. large firebrand lit on the
: root of the elevator,, forty feet from
the ground ,ahd the - shingles began
burning, brightly.. No ladder could.be
found to reach the roof, and all hope
was again loyt, ,When Chester Abrams.
frenzied with excitement, elzed a pail
of water and, mounting the shed with
the assistance' of a ladder, and scaling
the wall for a ' short - distance, " gained
the steep roof, and worked hl way to
the fire, still 'carrying the pall of wa
ter. The. fire had gained some head
way and threatened to drive him away,
but he tore away "the burning shingles
with his naked hand to gain a footing,
and with the' aid of a rope which was
thrown him, drew bucket after bucket
of water to the roof until the last spans
was quenched and the warehouses,' in
volving a value,' with the contents,' of
$8000, were saved. : '.
Mr. Abrams could not . express his
gratitude to - the determined flghteis,
for their splendid work in checking the
advance of the demon fire. He was
especially thankful to the women, for
to them more, if possible, than to the
men, is due the credit of saving the
warehouses, carrying water onto the
roof from the well over 100 yards dis
tant. Mrs. Alice Simpson, Mrs. Celia
Walling, Mrs. C. Gerth and Mrs. Mary
Terwillinger, especially exerted them
selves, carrying ten gallons of water
at a trip up the ladders and onto the
roofs.
The dwelling house burned' to the
ground, leaving the- family without a
single article of clothing beside what
they were wearing. The only article
saved was an ' old armchair. Mr.
Abrams favorite for twenty years,
which happened! to be on the porch.
The dwelling was built by Mr. Abrams
in 1S69, although he has since rebuilt
and added to' it, and he has made his
home there with, his family cont jiu
ously since that time. '
Besides the intrinsic value of the
household goods destroyed, the treas
ures gathered during a life, time, and
which could not be reckoned by money
value, were swept away in smoke al
most in an instant. One of the most
valuable articles lost was a collection
of eighty rare coins in a genuine carved
sandalwood box, together with a large
assortment of curios, knives, and
swords collected by. a member of the
family in the Philippine Islands dur
ing the Spanish war. .
Those who witnessed the fire com
mented upon, the fact that they had
never before seen a. building melt so
quickly by flame. Within ten minutes
from the time smoke was first discov
ered, tne entire house was a roaring
furnace, flames bursting from every
window, and from the roof.
In 1890 the store and contents belong-
Ing to Mr. Abrams was destroyed by
fire, of incendiary origin, at 5 o'clock
in the morning, entailing a loss of $6000
and at that time the heat was so in
tense that several times the house
caught fire, but was saved by-spread
ing wet blankets on. the roof and over
the eaves. ,
