It I a story of an inci dent In wide
open town, and th worst of it is that
It 1 true, and that Salem is the wide,
open town. . J " - " : .
From time to time correspondents
have been calling the attention of the
readers of the Statesman to what they
have claimed was open gambling car
ried on In cigar stores In this city. The
H tat- man has not been absolutely
certain of the reliability of these state
ments by correspondents, though con
vinced of their truth. But ah Incident
transpired at 3 o'clock yesterday room
ing that proves the 'truth of the aver
ment of the correspondents, and
more it proves that some of these
games are what are known among the
Rambling "fraternity" as - "brace
. games."' . . . , ., :-
Th Csm in Point. : 1
It was J o'clock yesterday rooming.
In a certain Salem cigar store no use
to say which one, for there are several
others of the same kind. It was 3
o'clock yesterday rooming, when all
good people were supposed to be In bed.
There was a. frame of cards going- on in
this Salem cigar store. One of the
players 'was a man recently arrived
from the Klondike. He had money.
There was another man also In the
gain who had money. The members
of the "profession" wanll the money.
They .needed It, probably they argued
with their consciences. The man in
the game who had money' and was not
from the Klondike lost 1350. Rut he
had no gun. and he was a somewhat
submissive loser, at least for the time
being. Hut the Klondiker also lost
money. He became convinced after a
time that It was a "brace game."
He told the players wbo were play
ing against him that it was a brace
gam, In w hich marked car.ls were be
ing used. When th?yN denied it, he
took the cards and turned therm over
and read them from thi back with as
much facility as he could from the
face. He had a gun, and he nulled It'
and demanded his money rill of it
that he had lost in the gamo, to the
last cent. .".'. - ' , :
.""He said he had "never seen the time
wn?n a six full wouldn't beat a full
hand In a game of that kind."
Did they give him back his money?
Did they? Indeed they did. ,, And they
made haste to do 'it. They did not
tarry on the order of doing it. to the
last rent. They were as obliging as
the most dapper counter Jumper that
ever jumped A counter. The -whites of
their eyes showed big when they saw
thev were caught at their little game,
and they had a determined man with a
gun to deal with. And they didn't say
anything1 to the police about being
held uo that is, nothing that was
heard of In outside circles. They kept
as mum as oysters.
It is to be presumed that they were
satisfied with the S350 they got' from
the man -who had no run. ;
What tio t he good peole of Salem
have to say about this?" If they have
anything at all to say. the columns of
tne Statesman are open to them.

JACK IIARKTNS. FORMERLY OF

NEAR FRESNO.
(From Saturday's Daily.)
Jack Harklns. who t -tairtnv n ...
letn for a few days. Is now a resident
.r-i.no county, California, on Syca
more creek, which Is famous for its
rich mining properties. Jack Is inter
ested In two mining claims there, one
a Placer proposition and the other
quarts, and he .thinks he has a good
thing, and that he will make a whole
kn of money.
Jack was a blacksmith n Salem for
ftr flrun years. He was with
Sertber Pohle for a long time, and
at oth-r times in other shops and hav
ing a business of his own. He was 'a
honv-xWr with a reputation, and did
,V h ork for lh racing men
at the State Fair track. When the
Klondike excitement broke out Jack
Il, l th Tar NortlW out he acquired
notMn the beyond .surplus of val-
luJk .rXrrt ock of hard
k siona. . Atxee returning to civil-
(izaUon, Jack worked for a time for the
Government in -California and "New
Mexico. 1 Then he resigned and went
to hunt his fortune again in the mine
and tne Indications are that he found
it. -"A" ; ; -- - ; . ' -, ;
Mrs. Harkins Is In ' Salem now, .as
she-has been for some time, but? she

He says M will come Ixu-k here again
and ..pay Salem a visit in July! lie
has a warm spot under his vest for old
Salem and Oregon, He says this Is
the, best country In the world If one
wants to farm or to live a life of ease
and comfort. '- - '
Jack says, however, that the country
he Is In now is a good one in which to
make money. Times are lively down
there. The- raisin industry Is great.
and, it Is growing. I -, '
Fresno is a city of about 23,000 peo
ple,' and it is one of the most thrifty
cities, on the coast. All the people are
busy and many of them are making
money, and also spending It." He says
they don't walk down there; they. run.
They don't . have time to walk. It is

STEAMBOAT TO

Captain ; Skinner Announces
That He is Building
I ' the Boat
AT INDEPENDENCE, ON ACCOUNT
OF UNFAVORABLE CONDITIONS
AT PORTLAND ENGINES HAVE
BEEN ORDERED SOUTHERN
I PACIFIC, TALKING OF, BUILDING
(FromSunay's Daily.) ;
The proposition to) put a steamer on
the route between Independence and
Salem is being pushed" quietly but
stesvdily to completion, and" before the
people of Salem realize It, the blase
of j the steamboat whistle : will be
heard, and the boat wili be plying1 be
tween the Capital City; and. the thriv
ing Polk county city, making several
trips "daily, thereby bringing wealthy
okl Polk cojunty into a much closer
relationship with Salem, to the great
benefit of Polk county, and. to the
profit and added business of the Salem
merchants. Not only will Independv
ence become, as it were, a suburb of
Salem, but it will then: be in touch
with Monmouth and. Dallas, through
the Dal las-Independence motor line,
and reaching into the wide scope of
country surrounding those cities,
thickly setteI with wealthy farm
ers. ':' '"' '- - ',,-, ?' -j:r .4
At present it Is well night impossible
for Independence and 3Ionmooth peo
ple to do tny trading' in Salem and
return the same day, except by driving
in the deep mud in -winter, which is
very disagreeable, conscxiuently Polk
county people have formed the plan of
doing their trading' in Portland, going
down on the Soorhern Pacific line. The
travel will largely be turned' toward
Salem by the establishment of a mode
at travel either by steamer or by rail.
i?. S. Hamilton who is chairman of
tine committee .appointed, by the
Oreuter Siilem Commenditi ' Chib, anj
wii4i made all arrangements and Jet
the contract' with George Skinner, wf
Imlependem-e. to build the boat, has
not' beenl 4dle; and yesterday 'received
a! communlca tion from VJMr. Skinner
which, int "answer to Mr. Ilamiltor)"s
query, tells how he Is progressing with
the work tf buildttna the steamer. -
According t the contract entered
into between, the committee and Mr.
Skin Tver, the latter was to build a boat
costing $3,000, and If. satisfactory, the
Commercial Club - Is to give Mm Ui
bonus to the amount of $500. If not
entirely satisfactory to the committee,
no money w ill be put up. At the time
of making' the agreement it was expeirt
ed tha t the contract for buildlna- would
be let to a Portland, boat builder, but
on investigation., Mr. Skinner found.it
almost Impossible to get, the work
done there at anything- like a reason
able figure, on account of the peculiar
labor conditions, and scarcity, and
high prices for material. J
)Mr. Skinner is a boat builder of ex
perience himself, and so returned.! 0
Independence, and immediately began
preparation for bnildlrtir the boat a
that place. He now writes Mr. Ham
ilton that he is progressing satlsfac
torlly with the work, although he does
not give any idea, of "when the boat
will be completed, and ready for nse.
He sa-s he Is not rushirur the work
present, on account of the unfavor
able weather, and is employing no cx
tra help. - At the time - of going to
Portland, he announced tola Intention
of having the steamer ready to rim
within two months, bat on account of
the changed plans, much longer tim"
will probably be required. E r
j Tne order for the engines and boij-?r
was placed some time ago, so that
when the bull is completed, the ma
chinery wijl be on the ground, rslj'
to be installed. , . , ;
j Mr. Skinner has built several boats,
and the design of r the hulls always
seemed to be first . cL'ss, so that p
may be confidently expected to turn
out a first class, boat this time. liok-
I ever, should he make a failure, the re
Suit will be no loss to the city. j
j .Already the project of building I a
boat has caused the Southern Pacific
Company to begin talk of extending
their railroad from this city, over ttn
Independence, even - threatenlngr ,tn
build a bridge at this point, at a cost
of S300.00. K This, of ; course, is only
talk, at present,, but everybody recog
nizes the importance of connecting
Salem with Polk county, and 1f th
Southern Pacific does not make th
move to monooolize the' : business
j some other firm Is bound to do so tc
the detriment of the above company.
The talk of extending the Dillas-Fallr
City .Railroadt to Salem, has also bee u
renewel by the progress made on the
steamer route. - . '

Salem. Nov. 8, 1903. f
Editor Statesman: 't The recent short
articles appearing in the columns of
the Statesman concerning the saloon
and gambling questions. I have read
with considerable' interest, and it i! a
source of grmtification to know . that
there are at least a few persons in the
city who are awake to the true state
of affairs. : ,
In making, th4sA statement, Ido not
mean. to. assume or. assert that Salem
is any worse or more open than many
other cities of,, the same size; but U
ought to be a ,great deal hetter, which
it is nqt.Saiem is the -capital of the
state; U is a schpcl town; . it has more
churches, according to population, than
any other city in the Northwest; it is
the home of, vrilamette': University;
there are medical, law and. business
colleges here. ..Salem Is the education
al center of the state. Here are offered
advantages to any. and all who seek
a higher , education,' arid " hundreds of
young men and women from all parts
of the state lave their homes, and
come here eaf year to attend one or
more of these institutions of 'educa
tion, ... .. .-'.-,
Now. the nuestion is, are riot these
young peule, whb often come here en
tire strangers, as -well as our-own boya
and girls, entitled to some protection
from the danger of the wide-open sa
loons, gambling dens and other resorts
which no one can deny exist In this
city? And, -though it is unlawful to
sell whiskey ' to minors, we see minors
going In mid ' t-ominsr out " of saloons;
often in ah- intoxkated condition;
though if is against the law to sell
liquor to Indians, yet the Salem papers
mention two instances where Indians
have been arrested during the past
week for being drunk upon the streets.
These incidents show ! pretty conclu
sively that anybody can buy "boose"
who-has the money 'o pay for it, re
gardless of age, sex, j "race, color or
previous condition of servitude."
- We are loud 'in our clamor for good
schools, good' "roads, good water. We
want our children to have an" educa
tion; we appropriate money to im
prove and repair our streets, that our
city may present a neat appearance
and leave a good Impression upon the
mind of' the stranger who visits us.
We set up a howl for. good "water,
free from the deadly germs of typhoid,
and then opeii up a dozen or more' sa
loons where we go to drink when we
are thirsty, seemingly- heedless of the,
germs which' lurk . In ' the "flowing
bowl." , ' .... ' . t , r :C- -. :
While we a re. Improving our streets
and laying out, parka : o i add to the
beauty of our city, we overlook the
numerous gambling dens where boys
are ' permitted t) to corgregate , and
amuse themselves around . the "green
cloth"' or spend their money and time
in playing the slot machines. " ?
While we strive, to put forth our best
efforts ' to imfnw'e our school system
by employing the best teachers to be
bad. and in various other ways adopt
methods , calculsted to , instill , in the
minds of the young the principles of
common decency, morality and good
citizenship, the "red ; lights" continue
to shine on without Interruption. -.
"But what is the remedy for these
evils?" some one asks. "How are we
to put a stop to them; except through
a system of education? , We must edu
cate the people out of these ; wicked
ways," says one Individual -who think?
he has -solved tfe vexed, problem.. He
says we have no right . to curtail tht
liberties or privileges of; any citizen,
conseouently te saloons muxt, remain
with us. Then, to clinch his argument,
he, says we will' have a "dead town

we license the Hsil in atnl brothel, and
p-rmit the gambling dens to ' exist

"criminal factories" have turnd out

Its "dignity and takes charge of .the
motley horde, one by one, conveys the
more. youthful ones to'the reform (?)
school, swings open the iron doors of
the penitentiary to receive the mur
derer, the robber and the thug; while
the Idiot perhaps the helpless off
spring of a drunken parent the im
becile, ruined in health and-pocket by
the drink habit, the raving maniac,
made such by years of debauchery and
dissipation, are buried In the asylum
for the Insane.
Then we boast of our - generosity,
our humanity; how we build reforma
tories for the criminal classes and
homes for the pauper, the Idiot and the
insane. " But we forget the enormous
cost of maintaining: these institutions,
In Our enthusiasm to gather in a. few
thousand dollars revenue each, year,
which the saloon keeper pays for "his
license to make paupers .break loving
hearts and ruin happy homes. But the
cost, ; from a financial point of view,
of keeping up these public institutions,
Is nothing when compared to the mis
ery occasioned by. and the degenerat
ing Influences of, the saloon and Its
attendant vices all over" the land. . -
But then It's a source of revenue,
and, what is more, we have "no right
to curtail the liberties of any citi
zen," even though his mission; may he

privilege.
