WHERE WILL IT BE?
Receiver Koehlcr Visits Salem and
Talks Depot lo the. Bnsiuess Men.
This morning Mr. E. Koelilcr re
turned from the south and stopped
over here to discuss the depot matter
with Salem's business men. He
was met at the depot by President
"Wright and other members of the
board of trade. They viewed all the
vacant ground between the present
site of the depot and Center street.
Mr. Kochler expressed a willing
ness to do the best ho could to ac
commodate the people of Salem, and
said that if the removal of the site
might be found to bo a feasible pro
ject, it would be done. Of course
the question of removal hinged on a
number of things, principal among
them, the securing of sufficient
"round for a location, and in the
right shape.
The company would lose the ten
acres deeded to them by the uni
versity were they to remove the
depot from its present location, un
less the university could be induced
to waive its right to this property.
If so, all the ground the company
would require would be a strip
seventy-five or one hundred feet
wide for depot, platforms and tracks.
However, if the depot were to be
constructed near State street, the
company would want the right to
stand their passenger trains on the
State street crossing solongas might
be necessary at any time, probably
never to exceed ten minutes, and
this incase trains were very lengthy.
It is thought this right would be
readily granted by tho city and
people interested. In case .these
two concessions wero made, and a
strip of land 75 or 100 feet in width
secured from the university, it is
thought the depot would be located
about midway between State street
and the bridge across tho race. Tho
railroad would then lay three
tracks on the east side, putting the
depot on the west, and tho street
would be moved westward so as to
divide tho depot and tho university
grounds. Some objection is made
by a few capitalists who ought to
look at tho matter through clearer
spectacles than they do, but it is
thought these objections can be over
come. Gen. W. H. Odell, one of
the university trustees, it is said,
thinks arrangements could bo mado
satisfactorily with Uio university
people, on tho proper representation
that tho matter was tho wish of tho
people of Salem. Mr. Koehlcr went
on to Portland this afternoon, and
said that after conferring with Mr.
Brandt, tho superintendent, ho
would make a proposition to the
business men of this city. This prop
osition is awaited with interest.
A Serious Accident.
On Saturday afternoon a very
serious nccident occurred near
Envln's saw mill about two miles
abovo Silverton. Charles Robert
son, a young man, was employed in
rolling logs on the side hill about
a quarter of a mile from tho mill,
when a log containing about 0,000
feet of timber rolled on him, and
over his legs and thighs, and then
striking a largo maiuf bounded over
the rest of hibydy, and went crash
ing on down the sido of tho hill.
Robertson suffered very sovoro
bruises on his legs, his hips wore
hadly mashed, and two or three
libs wero broken. Howovor, tho
writer learned from Mr. It. E. Craw
ford, driver of tho Silverton stacc.
that hopes woio entertained of
uobcrtson's recovory, nlthougli ho
will likely novor bo strong again.
He is an industrious young man and
1ms a family.

0UU STREETS AGAIN.
Sewers and Street Improvements Madly
Needed.
A good deal of complaint is again
being indulged in by business men
along State street, on account of
lack of proper drainages. Tho
grade of State street is very low,
especially between Church and
Commercial streets, and tho want of
sewerage is, as it has been for years,
manifest. However, sewerage is not
all that is wanted. That street
should be graded and macadamized.
Tho streets of Salem wero surveyed
last summer, and gnulestakos sot,
but that was all that came of it. A
littlo work was done on Commercial
street, but not enough to provo of
any value.
This matterof street improvement
is one that should bo considered a
littlo more thoroughly by the
citizens of Salem than is usually
done. Why don't they undertake
improvements after tho manner of
eastern cities of life? For instance,
bond tho city for a sum not to
exceed 100,000, such sum to bo ex
pended in laying t-ewer mains
through, and for grading principal
streets. Mako tho bonds payable
in twenty, thirty, and forty years.
Make tho interest payable annually.
These bonds could bo easily floated
at five per cent, per annum, and
perhaps for a lesser rate than that.
Tho interest would amount to
$o,000 per annum, which the present
property could easily stand, and tho
city will be greatly increased in size
by the maturity of the bonds, and
tho property valuation so much
greater that the payment of tho
principal would then bo no great
burden.
The nssessed value of property in
this city this year will probably
reach two millions of dollars. If so,
the tax rate would only be increased
two and a half mills to pay this
interest the first year, and tho rate
would gradually decrease witli the
increase of property valuation.
Then again, tho number of
laborers that would bo given em
ployment in tho prosecution of tho
work would, of itself, give tho city
a boom, and help to increase the life
of tho town. All tho principal
streets should be macadamized or
graveled, and sewer mains should
bo laid all over tho city. This should
be at public expense and connections
with the sewers should bo paid by
tho property. Tho matter becomos
one of greater importance each year,
and should right now attract tho
earnest attention of tho board of
trade and city council.
o
CITV SI'WC.VIEIl WANTED.
Ed. CapitaIi Joukkai,. Now
that tho cows are shut out from tho
streets and alleys tho question,
what to do with the refuse and slops
that accumulate in tho back yards is
a question which is assuming seri
ous proportions. The swill-gatherer
has forsaken his accustomed rounds,
nt least, in some parts of tho city,
and his visits never have been fre
quent enough. What can a woman
do who wishes to avoid sowing tho
seeds of diphtheria and typhoid fever,
and who has positively no place hut
her alloy in which to dump tho
scraps? This question is to whom it
may concern. Q.
Salkm, April 24th.
Here again, is mado glaringly ap
parent tho fact that Salem needs a
sewerage system, and that badly.

Closing Exercises.
Tho closing exorcises in the Ore
gon school for tho blind were hold
this morning, a number of visitors
being present. Supt. Gray is to bo
commended for the skill nnd
attention ho devotes to his charge,
nud the scholastic eillcieney shown
by Ids scholars. Tho exercises con
sisted of vocal nnd Instrumental
music, recitations and school lessons.
These latter worcexccedingly in
teresting and consisted of lessons In
geography, recited from raked maps,
readings from raised letters and
mental arithmetic. The only
mechanical industry pursued nt this
institute is broom making, and
sonic merchantable specimens of
this handicraft were displayed. The
lady scholars gave some nice ex
hibitions of taste and skill in crochet
nnd lace work, which were greatly
admired by the lady visitors. Supt.
Gray says tho health of the school
has been excellent the past year, tho
services of the doctor not oneo being
called upon. At the close of the ex
ercises the scholars prepared them
selves for departure from the city to
spend the vacation with their
friends, and farewells wero said in
which friendly regret was shown at
the temporary separation.
o
The Mute School.
The closing exercises at tho in
stitution for the education of deaf
mutes wero very interesting, and
were attended by several friends of
the school. Mr. Knight, tlio super
intendent, showed tho improve
ments made about tho institution by
the students, and displayed somo of
their work in tho industrial depart
ments, that would do credit to any
mechanic or artisan. Laces and
fancy work mado by the girls, quilts
mado by tho smaller students boys
and girls, furniture mado by tho
boys, exercises in tho silent
languago of tho signs, and
In writing, in setting typo, all
showed to what a degree of eillcieney
these unfortunates may attain in
the walks of life. All the students
havo made excellent progress in
their studies during tho past year.
A Had Koad.
The writer of this small "kick"
had occasion to pas- over one of the
worst pieces of county roadways, he
thinks, in tho Willamette Valley, a
few days since, and having been
over tho same road last year when it
was bad enough, is now tempted to
growl. Ho refers to that particular
stretch of thoroughfare between tho
bridge and Schindler's in Polk coun
ty. Ono Bennett is said to bo road
supervisor, but ho certainly does not
attend to his duties. It is to bo
hoped tho county court of Polk
county Avill either stir Mr. Bennett
up and cause him to fix up that road
or reliovo him with a man who will
attend to his work. His entiro dis
trict is neglected, and it should bo
looked after.

years old, and is a relative of tho no
torious Jordan boys of tills and Polk
counties. Jordan was arraigned by
Justice O'Donnld to-day and at Ills
own request his examination was
