MILLER At his home in Turner, Mr i ion county, Oregon, on Friday morn- ing, May 20, 1M4, Lew Miller, aged nearly 70 years, of paralysis. Mr. Miller was well known to all the old settlers of this county and indeed to most of the new ones, for he was a genial, pleasant old gentlemtn, who en joyed friendly relations with every body. eHe was an old- Oregon pioneer, coming to this state from Missouri in the early fifties.

Homestead and theKorth- ES T . Patrons Mail Boxes. ', A Statesman subscriber who lives on one of the rural routes circulating from this eity thinks the Statesman has been giving too "much of the carriers side of the discussion regarding the erection of mail boxes. There is no desire, bow ever, to take sides in the matter, but to simply give the existing facts as they are presented." The complaining gentle man brought in three printed documents one of whiehj was the order of the de partment in 1902, which is the same as that in the Postal Gnide, from whieh quotations were given in these columns some days ago; another was a list of approved boxes, . which includes 134 individual makes, many of which have several distinct styles, and ranging, in price from, 75 cents to $3.50 per box. At the foot of this list is the following note of the Department: "Under the Postmaster General's Order No. 739, postmasters, rural car riers, and other postal employes, are strictly, prohibited . from acting as agents for mail box manufacturers; from becoming interested in, canvass ing for, or, otherwise aiding in the sale of any rural mail box, either by them selves or, through others, directly or in direetlyt and any violation of, this reg ulation will subject the offender to dis cipline and possible removal from the service. - They may, however , advise with prospective patrons of rural free delivery routes so hat, in the selection of boxes, they shall comply with the re quirements of the Department." j The other ; was a more recent order from the fourth assistant postmaster general, some of whose provisions the carriers may not all know, as it is un derstood they have been refusing to al low parties to take advantage of the fourth paragraph of it. For the bene fit of all concerned the entire order is copied, as follows: , . First. In, the matter of providing boxes for the reception of mail, parties desiring the rural service must conform to the requirements of. Postmaster Gen eral's order No. 739, whieh became ef fective October 1, 1902. Said order sets forth in detail the kind of box required, the plaee where, and the manner in whieh the same should be erected. -. Second. Boxes erected since October 1, 1902, the ; date jivea above, and which have not been '"approved" in accordance with the requirements of order JCo. 739, do not corform to the regulations "of the service and will not be served by carriers. Third. Each box mnst be so erected on the margin of the ' road regularly traveled by carrier, that be can drive up to it conveniently without going Out of his way; and it must be fastened to a post at such height from the ground as to be easily opened and inspected by carrier without alighting. A box should not be erected where it will obstruct the highway or cause collisions and accidents. . Fourth. If two or more persons re siding in the neighborhood of a rural route, agree together to erect and jointly use as a receptacle for their mail matter, a mail box which has been approved and erected in compliance with the terms of Postmaster General's order No. 739, this will be allowed, pro vided they file with the postmaster at the initial office, a written request to that effect, signed by all the patrons who wish to avail themselves of such HO FOR DALLAS! LET THAT BE THE SLOGAN FROM . NOW UNTIL THE LAST RAIL . " ISLAEO. Salem People Asked to Make Loan for I the Building of a Railroad Prom Dal- las to West Salem The Biggest and Best Proposition of a Tangible Char ; acter Tet Presented. A meeting of very great importance to Salem was held in the police court room last evening by the Greater Sa lem Commercial Club a meeting which may result in bringing to this city a long desired public utility that will ad vance the prosperity and growth of the Capital City , in an eminent degree. The meeting was called for the pur pose of listening to a proposal to be made by Attorney Webster Holmes in the matter of building a railroad be tween Dallas and this city.' Mr, Holmes appeared as a?ent for Mr. E. E. Coovert who is chief engineer of the Falls City & Dallas railroad, who he says has $60, 000 of his own money to put into a rail road from Dallas to West Salem four tceen miles and 800 feet of road. It is his desire to build the road himself, but he asks the people of Salem to lend him $57,000, secured ty first mortgage on that entire road, and he also wants a cash bonus .from Salem of $15,000 with which to procure right of way. He proclaims himself ready to commence work within ten days after, the money is subscribed. ; ',..'. ,;: '-y:'- Mr. Holmes expressed the assurance that the loan of $57,000 would be paid Of . e v - k-..

The head f afaraily may sign for the family, but the full names of all mail receiving persons in Buch fa mily must he given on the order, o that they may be. entered in the earrier's name and address book. i . Fifth Parties living in the neighbor hood of a rnral route who neglect or re fuse to provide boxes, or who, having provided them, refuse to erect them in the manner prescribed in paragraph 3, will be regarded as not desiring the ru ral service, and carrier will be directed not to serve them, ; . Sixth Service will- not however, for any reason be withdrawn from the box es which are being served, without spe cific orders authorizing such action -are sent from the department. ( Xietter Carriers Meet, A meeting of the Marion County Bn ral Letter Carrier's Association was held at Woodburn on Sunday afternoon, for the purpose of discussing and con sidering various matters relating to their duties- and matters connected therewith. It was an interesting and pleasant gathering. The officers of the association are Phil N. Pearson, of B. F. D. Xo. 2,Tnraer president; John IT. Klene, of Xo. 2, Gervais, 1st vice presi dent; Scott Jones, of No. 1, Gervais, 2d vice president, R. GV Allen, of Xo. 2, Silverton, secretay; G rover Todd of Xo. 2, Woodburn, treasurer. The next meetingwill be held in Sa lem on Sunday, Jnly 3, 1904. The carriers present were: G. B. Benson, No. 1; K. G. Allen, No. 2; O. L. Wolf ard, No. 3 ; Wm. Town, Xo. 4, Silverton; Frank Kroxberger, Xo. 1 and Chas. La son, No. 2, Aurora; Scott Jones, No. 1 and John If. Klene, No. 2, Ger vais; Grover Todd, Woodburn; Phil W. Pearson, Turner, and W. II. Squiers, No. 2, Salem. ' Items From Eoute No. 2. Emerson L. Harris of Oak Grove, Polk County, was brought to Salem Hospital last Friday and is very low with ty phoid fever. Henry Fawk has sold his plaee on the Dallas and Salem road 'about two and one half miles west of Salem, 160 acres to Mr, R. W. ilogg, late of Nebraska. Mr. Hogg expects his family soon and will start farming in Oregon. Frank Gibson' is building a fine woven wire fence around his place about three quarters of a mile west of Salem on the Salem and Dallas road, which will impove the looks of the property. Mr. Gibson lives al'Riekreal and is in the milling business there. Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Lucas will take charge of the place here. Route No. 1 Brevities. Mrs. John Cliilders is quite ill, suf fering from an attack of l.i grippe and fever. . Worth Henry is recovering from a gathering in his ear, and with his brother Wayne, is hauling lumber from the Lincoln steamboat landing,' for the new barn Mr. D. G. Henry is. building. Rain is badly needed to settle the dust on Route No. 1, as the roads have in many places been thrown up and graded and this dirt, is principally dust. ; Carrier Remington is suffering from a bad cold, but made his usual round yes terday. J. C.' Phillips, a prosperous farmer from Zena on Route No. 1,: recently lost a valuable Holmdel eolti twenty -one months old, of distemper and compli cated ailments. in one year; butwants for Mr. Coovert the privilege of three years in which the bonds are to mature. He also makes the assertion that the railroad which has been built between Dallas and Falls City is now paying $2000 net per month to its owner, Mr. Gerlinger. 1 The proposition of the loan of $57,000 was received by the members present with universal favor, but the matter of a bonus of $15,000 was disapproved as unfeasible by several, Hon. Tilmon Ford and President Hofer speaking against it. Mr. Ford suggested that Mr. Coovert ask for a loan of $72,000 and secure the right of way himself,. ana thattthe proposition would receive a much more favorable consideration at the hands of the business people of Sa lem and vicinity. - ; . On motion of George P. Hughes, the chair appointed a committee consisting of Tilnion Ford, Dan J. Fry and E. T. Barnes, to canvass the matter with the people and report to a subsequent meet- ng.' , . .... . - :ji ; :. ; , Another important matter taxen no was the putting np of a purse of $2000 for another race at the State Fair, a free-for-all, something new and addi tional to anything 'ever provided for before at the fall meeting and the chair appointed Committee consisting of J. Conner, J. P. Rogersl and Wj P. George, to take the matter in band. There is nd question but this committee Will be able in a few days to present to the State Fair Board a satisfactory: guarantee of this purse. , V-'-s The eommittee-in charge' of the sub scription of the loan for the building of the railroad to Dallas could not be let ter selected.' i 'Every member of it is a substantial, enterprising business maB' thorougUy imbued with the spirit of progress and will . earnestly, work to in ppire the property owners of Salem with the same spirit. Whatever enterprise Til moa Ford backs up with the energy and j force of his nature does not fail, and besides, if the people do not re spond to the appeals in their own inter est, Mr. Ford may become sufficiently aroused and take in the whole loan him self and it would o a mighty good investment, too. , DEEDS RECORDED.

Jessup, the local agent of the iAmeriean Hop and Barley Co. J. A. Pooler reports that he has not sold bis hops as stated, although he refused an offer of 25 cents per pound. i Yards which have not been sufficient ly cultivated are suffering from the ef fects of the dry weather, but those which have received thorough cultiva tion are doing nicely. Vermin have not yet made their appearance on the vines, which, added to the fact that the hops came up evenly, indicates that with favorable weather the quality of 1904 crop will be considerably better than last year. i The yards which are poor at present cannot produce much this year on ac count of the lateness of the season. Yards at Mt. Angel, Dallas, Pratum, C'hampoeg and in Yamhill and Washing ton counties ere reported in an unfavor able condition, many i yards not having Keen trained for the first time. In some yards some of the vines have reached the top of the poles, and others are just coming out o fthe ground. Those which are coming np now cannot at best pro duce many hops. Waterville Market. As will be seen the price of hops does not change from week to week, 35 cents being the highest on the Xew York market and that probably an outside quotation. Dealers in the Interior would pay about 33 cents for choice States of they could be secured, which they cannot be. i I The vine is growing'nicely and fast.
