PROSPECTS FOR SALEM AFFSOACBXXa ERA IS. SETTING IN . TSZ3 DIRECTION., ' K BUSINESS MEN SEE THE V SIGNS City Taking on Stimulating Brace With the Approaching Lewis and , Clark Exposition. '' i The Great Centennial Brings & Mighty Wave j of Good Things in its Wake foe Oregon and for Salem, its Capital City Especially. . t Every! day that passes brings the people of Oregon nearer to the great era of prosperitv that will sweep over this state with the opening of the Lewis and ,r Clark Exposition. "Every day that passes also witnesses toe sum ulation f business which is-gradually and steadily a'dvancicg.. The remuner-. stive business and general prosperity I will continue to increase until the clos i ing of the gates of the great Centen r nial Pair. Some people predict, that I tbe business interests will then suffer ! a reaction. i ' . ' Business men say Oregon is brim full l of openings of every f character andde- script ion, and that no matter how many !; people come, mere will be room for aJL ! They say Oregon is a good state, in fact ' the most wonderful state in. the Union. i its natural development is being neia ;.

The great .stretches of land that will be opened up in 'the next few years requires more farmers. More far mers means an increase in every ; branch of trade or business from the capitalist t the laborer. The people of tuis vicinity are nat urally interested in the future develop ment of the state, but the welfare and advancement of Salem are the upper most thoughts m their minds. They know that thin cstv will shew the gen eral, prosperity as much as any other town in the state, but they also believe that' she wl progress more rapidly than many of the others This is natural, as all citizens' are very proud of their home town." But Katem and tributaries have "not been exaggerated or. overestimated. ... "While, of course, business will be; stimulated from the start, said M. C iMtys, of . the firm of Irwin & Pettys, yesterday; "the greatest benefit will accrue ia the next few years after the close of the exposition. A certain pejr cent will remain in Salem but the largo majority of the visitors will return to icw home with a tasto of Oregon. By returning to their ; homes they can CPmpare the two sections." - "We expect great things for Oregon and Salem," say Patton Bros. "Sa lem is a rattling, hustling little town even now, but what will she bo when the' surrounding country is settled up and moro money put into circulation. Of course, every town has a dull spell occasionally and Salem is not an ex ception." ' . , S. W. Thompson, the jeweler, when interviewed, said: "The Lewis and Clark Exposition will bring lots of peo ple to Oregon and this city. They will then have the opportunity to examine this country and its resources. If they find it as resourceful and wonderful as claimed numbers will remain." "Trospects are good. No, 1 will j take that back..: Prospects are exceb j lent." So saidrH. W. Barr when in- terviewed. VI don't see how we car: help being greitly benefited," he con tinued, when asked about the effects of the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Visitors will visit the immediate vicin ity and this gives assurance of many additions to our population." "In the long run Salem will eome out away ahead, because of the Port land . exposition," said J. F. Hughes. "Business is growing better every day and will undonbtedly continue to do STOP DRINKING!

NEGOTIATIONS NEARLY PE2FEGT Probable That Big Intercollegiate Tour naments of Past Tsars Will ; ' BeSestansd. Old G?ads, Immensely Pleased With - the Proposition Willamette and Uni versity cf Oregon Now Pushing Pro ' Ject To Take Place on Pair Grounds. Athletic relations between the five big educational institutions of Oregon will undoubtedly be resumed again this year. This is the feeling at Willamette University, and is shared by one or more of the five . big colleges in the state. Negotiations looking to' that end are even under, consideration and there seems to be small reason for believing mat couege men mrougnout t be state will not again: meet upon the campus jor a. Dig intereouegiate contest. I If the meet is arranged it will be held at the State Fair Grounds some time in the early 'part of June. The Pair G rounds i are t familiar old stamping (grounds f 6r eollege brawn, speed and muscle, ana in tbe years past have wit negsej some splendid work in athletic tournaments. A - resumption of these athletic meets will be a step in the right direction and will be hailed with acclaim by. the graduates of the big state colleges. . TUose who have partic ipated in the past in these big tour neys say it has always been a souree of regref to them that the advisory athletic boards of the Several institu tions ever broke off athletic relations, and asse , tnat it is the desire of their hearts to see the students match speed and brawn again on the Fair Grounds. Impetus to the movement has been jdven tho project by Manager Simpson of Willamette University, and Manager Whittlesey of the University of Oregon at Eugene. Both men are prime for re sumption; of i the intercollegiate meet and are making every effort to induee the managers of athletic affairs at the Pacific. University, at ForestGro ve, the State Agricultural College and Xewberg College to join in the proposition. It has also been suggested to extend the invitation to the college at McMinn ville, thus including all the big educa tional institutions in the state. Such meets as the one proposed is one nf t he best thincs that a big education 1 institution ean take up. it inspires the student fits him for better work in the. -lass room and serves also to ad vert ise the college and state over the land. Oregon seems to be the only state in the Union in which there is no an nual state eollege athletic meet, and graH ' ; relieve the affair should be resumed. Willamette is going to put a fast track team into the field this year, and the other five colleges wilt: have thefr troubles to keep in the going if the meet hould be pulled off. Tb Salem institu tion has secured a splendid trainer in Homer I. Keller of the Ohio Wesleyan College, who will have to" do with put ting the men in shape for the athletic, stunts of tbe coming season. Mr. Kell er will have, absolute control of the track and field men. He is an all-round athlete himself and will apply his splen- lid knowledge of tbe business of traln ng athletes, gathered from some of the best trainers in the East, to his work at Willamette University. In looking over the material he will have to work on for the coming season Mr. Keller savs he is well pleased. In the weights, with the hammer, shot and lisens. Willamtte is especially blessed. harm i? several biCt husky fellows who fnve. promise of sending the metal fab ulous distances. - There is good material in the pole vault line, as well. lie has yet to personally determine what there is in tbe way of timber topping mater ial and distance men, as well as in the sprints and short dashes. However, tht work of last year demonstrated that Willamette was not slow in any of these lines and it is saie to say that she will send some speed merchant to the scratch this year. v, i The first steps looking to tbe selection j of track and field team timber will be, taken this week, when Mr. Keller will organize his initial class in gymnasium work. Manager Simpson of tbe track team Jibs issued a can tor canaiaates .ind a bitr response is anticipated. The men will be sent to work in the "gym" iust as fast as they report and in a few weeks it will lie definitely known just what material there can be figured on for the coming spring and summer meets. The weeding-out process will be beeun after three or four weeks work, at which s time the various candidates will be sent to their specialties, and given thorough drilling and training along the lines to which they seem best adapted. - Just as soon as conditions of train ing and weather permit, Mr. Keller will put his track men to work out of doors. The track that circles the University campus will be pnt in shape at once for the purpose and the men will have the advantages and benefits to be de rived from outdoor work. Besides his athletic work, Mr.-Keller will do something in the academic line, having been assigned to the position of assistant instructor in German. For, besides being a' finished athlete, ,Mr. Keller is a splendid student in modern languages and will be found a desirable acquisition to the teaching faculty of Willamette University. t .

So Vote the House and Senate Tester- day Representative Caldwell, Father of House Measure, Given a Severe Dressing Down by Bingham of Lane. (From Saturdsy's Daily.) Every attempt to reduce tho educa tion advantages in Oregon bas met with overwhelming defeat in the hands of the members of the Oregon Legislature. The Senate and lloupe of Representa- tives yesterday voted, down bills to abolish ihoV Btate Normal school at bills to school at Drain. The bills were nearly similar. j The Legislat nre willinglv appropriates ' iarge sums of money to institutions off learnine but will not stand for the abolishment of schools , even though they are the source of great expoadi - ture. The discontinuance of the Drain I. Normal school in Douglas county has'.. . m 4. , A-r . been talked for some time and for a while 'it looked as though the agitation would bear fruit. 'The defeat of the two bills for-the same purpose precipiiatea inginy ana Heated debates, but in the -Senate the fight was mild, compared to tnat in the tlouso of Representatives. When the bill came up for filial passage i a the Sower branch of the Legislature Repre sentative Caldwell,1 the author of the measure, "took the floor confident that he could prove to the members tie ab surdity of the farther continuation of the Drain nchooL lie had a catalogue with which he showed that the school had been "going backward ever since it had been taken Control of by tbe state a number of years back. ; The catalogue showed that only thirty pu pils nad graduated in nz years, al- $40,000. - Bineham. of Lane, spranff a sensation when he attempted to repudiate the statements made by the Bepreseatative from Yamhill countv. Mr. Bingham Tro dueed a letter from the superintendent of the school in which it wss asserted that 154 teachers bad graduated from that institution in ; six years. , Mr. Bingham went on to say that the school f tfm SB educational standpoint was I 'not' excellev. by any of h tacrs in the state. Mr. Bingham stated that it ! had cost this school less per capita to torn out graduates than any other sim ilar insxitation in Ore eon.

One member suggested the best way out of dit was to lay the bill on the tablo until next week and made a motion to that effect. ' He said by that time it could be determined whether the management or the cata logue of the Drain Normal school was correct. The motion failed' to carry, however, and the bill passed by a large majority. Meeting Adjourned I The joint meeting of the Y. M.
