written by members of this club to
eastern papers tit advertise Oregon
and some of them, are being given wide
circulation, one letter winning the. first
prize offcre'd by the Portland Commer
cial Club. By the Joint efforts of the
club and the city council' a .census
board was organized last April and tho
first . official census of Greater Salem
was taken nnder its direction, showing
the seven wards of the cit'y to have a
population of 13,287. But for ibis work
the city would have had no official cen
sus until 19ID.
'The Salem Commercial Club has at
present 203 members and subscribers to
its correspondence fund and a net re
venue of about $1,000 per annum. Jt
closes the work of the present ye.'.r with
all outstanding bills provided f er r nd a
cash surplus in the treasury. Dues are
payable monthly and business men in
this community prefer to pay them
monthly. The officials for Vhe ensuing
year should make provision f ;r prompt
collection of monthly dues as he club
loses both' members' and dues by failure
to collect. JJy sacrifices of time on
the part of the Executive Committee
the work of the elob has been brought
into perfect business order. A first
class executive committee is indispensi
hie to the success of the organization. It
ts the soul and life of the cluW It plans
work, supplies defects-in the officials
themselves, . inspires confidence fmong
the rank anl file and overcomes selfish
ness and apathy in the citizens of the
community. . The executive committee
city can be made one vf the greatest
means of advertising! Our University,
our business- colleges, ana normal
schools, law schools - ijud colleges of
medicine, our academy and 'the public
schools themselves should become enlist
ed in the fight to make this a greater
eity. " Their teachers and even the
Scholars can become an organized, lec
tor for spreading the reputation of the
city as the most desirable, and popular
home and residence eily in the : West.
After the harmonious veoeperation of
all the professions, churches, , fraternal
orders and schools has been assured, un
der the lead of a " good commercial cr
ganization, there is no limit x can le
placed upon the development of- the
communliy. The correspondence com
mittee of one thousand should include
all the brainy and thinking citizenship
that lias the good " the community &t
heart, and can look beyond the selfish
ness of mere individual success at the
expense of publia spirit and the ab
sence of public enterprise. Tho com
mercial elub, properly understood and
well managed, must include every ether
live and helpful organization that hopes
to' see industries inuRplied and popula
tion increased.' This organization seeks
to overcome, that indifference and in
ertia which seems satisfied w'.th the
processes of growth ix ?raplific I by the
annual ring of fibre-added, to the Vlow

time when the fair niefropoli tf tho

we work for it with lru kWcsfttf ferll

is upon our people as ncv?r before. This

"In conclusion, let $ii reprt re

ANOTHEB WAS BETWEEN" JAPAN
AND KUSSIA. ,
Victories of Peace Will .Be Sought at
the Lewis and Clark Exposition.
By I-Vaiik ilprrh-k.
: In -the midft of a disastrous war,
with Port Arthur her. host b"je threat
ening to fall any day, Rossi has au
nounccd her intention to oflicially ;; r
ticipirte at the Lewis anj ("lark Impo
sition to be held at Portland, Oregon,
next summer, opening June 1st and clon
ing October J2th.
Although tho lzars. treasury has
bcentiudcr a tremendous strain during
the past year, the autocrat of all the
Rustiias is fully aware of the gre-it ben
efits to be derived from an exhibit at
the Western World's Fair, and bis Em
pire will spend a larj;e Sum in an at
tempt to win victories of peace over
other nations.
' And the. Russian Bear's present ene
my, little Japan, will also be his foe at
this peaceful assemblage where the
products of the world will be entered
in competition. Many months ego tho
Mikado's subjects announced their in
tention of entering the lists.
t Russia accepted the invitation to par
ticipate at the Lewis and Clark Kx po
sition through a cablegram from the
Czar's Councillor of Commerce, Edward
Grunwaldt. The acceptance came
somewhat as a surprise, as Russia did
not oflicially participate at thhe
World's Fair at Ht. Louis, and as tho
Empire has its bands full at present in
the Orient, it was hardly expected. But
the Bear has'bravety borne tbe brunt
of battle and will now demonstrate to
the world the status of its peaeefal in
duM tries.
An extensive exhibit will.be installed
In nearly every department at the Cot,t
Show. Whether a building will be erect
ed is yet 'to , be divided. A Russian
building was In roune of construction
at the Mt. Louis; World's Fair when . a
cablegram annouheing the withdrawal
of government "participation was re-
eeived. It was then that the Japanese
made application for all of Russia's
abandoned space, nearly all of which
was awarded to them and wan eventu
ally hi led with the sow tin"an luter.Mt
ing displays.
Rttssia was. not altogether wiihnil
representation at HI. Ixuis. The art
societies bf tbe Isrne rities of the
J country on their own neeonnt nal an
rjrhlbit of many ; rrclitfblf p.iiettt.?s
and scultural works by fanxivs Rus
dah sertion of the Art llaee" Was
greatly admired, This exhibit will
urnbatilv I10 imnufrm.t tn llm- t jn.l.
and Clark Exposition.
Japan, with ber extensive exhibit at
St. Louis, opened the eyes of tbe "world,
and the cream of that disjda will 1-e
supplemented and tranferrel to Port,
land. The Japanese exhibits -t . tbe
Lewis and Clark Exposition will include
nearly ewrything manufactured and
pfoitueed in fair Japan. Some exhibits
will eonsUt of only one article, while
others will number many hundreds.
Koine of tbe articles are worth only a,
few cents, while the value of others can
be reckonel only in the thousands of
dollars. There will be exhibits from the
farm, orchard, foreat, stream and mine.
In the manufacture, department there
there will le manv varieties 'of exhibits.
Here will be shown fans, paper umbrel
las, toilet articles, satchels, matting
and carpets, straw work, bamboo furni
ture and hundred of other articlejifov
household and industrial uses. "
Fine Japanese silk of every eolor and)
texture, in its raw state and made into
beautiful kimoaas and other garments,
will be. shown in the 'textile tonctlon.
I Waterproof clothing and fabrics of
j various kinds will be included in this
t display, ahowing tbe superior quality
; of Japanese weaving and, the patience
j. required in the makinu: of enrmenta
'-worn by the subjects of the Mikado. .
1 Rare bits of cloisonne art. einbrae
I ing delit-ately made vanes and other r
nauicntv pvictdesx in value, that requir
ed years of artHrtic ; labor to ierfert,
will be included in the display. "There
f will also Ik various specimens of por
celain articles and laeonered wares.
j The beautiful grounds of the Lewis
s"d Clark ExiKsition, wbirh inclndte
hill pod dale,, forest , and plain, and a
natural lake, provide an excellent set
ting for the Jaianese tea gardens. Here
in dainty pavilions on the shore of tlwe
lake, Japanese gins dressed in their
native garb will serve different kinds
of the beyeragv that is always assort
atet with Japan. Of .course" the tea
exhibits will be one of the features of
the Japanese display. And Russia will
run the Yankvc of the Orient a dose
race in this classification, for RusU
tea is equally as famous as that of
Japan.
Rusfda has not yet announced the
plan ami seope of her exhibit, but with
the formidable array already planned
Tsv her adversary, it is apparent that
the t'zar's display must 'lie a compre
hensive one to suecesttfully cope with
Japan for the grand prizes and the gold
medals of award. The world will await
the outcome of the battle for supremacy
In. peaceful pursuits as it is now await
ing tht result of the bloody war for
superiority in tbe Orient.

MAR8I1AUSXUP CASE.
Decide to Withdraw Ills Contest, and
to Submit to tht Will of tho People
as Expressed at tho Polls, Although
by But Eight Majority.
Yesterday morning it became gener
ally rumored about the streets that
Jatnrs I Skipton, tbe lale independent
candidate for city marshal, had decided
to give up the fight and contest against
the seating of Thomas K. Cornelius, who
had eight,. wore votes-majority in the
count of the voles after the election,
and who has been rerouiced by the
eify council as the marshal-elect. ;
Wr. Skipton made a trip to, Washing
ton county after evidence proving that
Mr. Cornelius waa a resident of that
county, -but whether be found tbe evi
dence be wanted, or not, on his re
turn Ure he -decided to act on tbe ad
vice of his. friends and withdraw from
the contest. There were heard cxpres-j
sions of "approval of tMs course on ev
ery side yesterdav. and no doubt exists
that Mr. Skipton has made frifnds by,
ceasing from his attack on Mr. Cornel
ius. Mr. Cornelius waa seen in relation t
the matter and said that, while be had
no fear at all of the result of a trial
of the case, lieforr a competent tribu
nal, he was triad Mr. Skipton bad finally
seen fit to withdraw.
"I could have fsi.y -proven all that
I have claimed alnn't residence here,"
4td Mr. Vrtielin, "and u" friends
would have ln-ea satisnel that 1 bad
told them nothing but the truth in rela
tion thereto. Hewerer, I have no quar
rel with Mr. Sklptou. He and T have
always Ween ood friends, and I hope
ni8y continue so. Mr. Hkioton dnl what
he thought was in bis party's interest,
no doubt, but l am very (jlad indeed
that he lies Mopned the contest.'
This means thst Mr. t'ornelins will
1e sworn in as eity marshal early in
January, and will srve in that o.
tiou if nothing unforeseen happens, for
the rom ing two years. Mr. Skpiton,
it is said on the street, intends going

The following Is. what Dr. Q. C. Martin Expert of U.
S. Geological Survey, says of coal taken from a tunnel
on our property: -
'Tbe 20-foot svani now exposed in
the tunnel on Carbon Creek is the most
promising coal seen by tbe writer. It
not only possesses the greatest thick
ness sod is entirely tree from bands of
shale and other impurities, tot ts the
above tahla shows, it is the purest coal
and has the highest' heating power. Its
composition shows it td be semi-anthracite,
or of tbe same composition as the.
eoal of thw-Berniee Basin in Pennsyl
vania, Although it is pnrer and has
a higher heating power than that eoaL
It differs from the anthracite of Penn
svlvaria and Wales in having more
volatile matter in proportion to - thw
amount of fixed carbon. In the ratio
of fixed carbon to volatile matter it U
nearer to th Bernlce Basin eoal than
to any other coal that reaches the gen-
ral market. la beating power aa well
as in the low amount of impurities, it
is almost' identical with tbe Pocahontas
steam eoal of West Virginia, but excels
this eoal by having higher proportion
of fixed carbon. There Ts no other coal
with which it is likvly to eomo into
general eometition with which it is to
bo compared, for it is far higher ia
heating power and ia parity than any
eoal that is mined upon tbe Pacific
t coast, either in the United.Htatcs, Can
ala or Australia." ' :
