THE DEPOT 3IATTEK.
i!tins of tu Citizens Called
To-morrow aigni.
for
tenlay evening, Mayor Aiurpny
,ed the following call:
i i1n nf tlin nitr nf
0 IIH." a--1'"- -
oti Your attention is ucreby
led to the proposed construction
ncv railroad depot, to replace
one lately destroyed by Are.
railroad authorities, desiring to
suit your wishes, as far as lo-
ion is concerned, have submitted
proposition to locate tne new
en"er depot ai uio iiuursccuon
Court and Twelfth streets, upon
conditions published in iUon
'sJornNAL and requested me
ascertain your wishes on the
Meet.
h therefore respectfully suggest
it the residents of the city (or so
Ly of them as may feelan interest
the matter,) meet at tno council
amber on Saturday, the 12th hist.,
8 o'clock p. in., for tho purpose of
Lidcring the proposition referred
and if a change of location, upon
prescribed conditions, is desired,
take such steps as may be ncces-
tyto obtain the required bond,
d to raise funds for the purchase
necessary depot grounds.
J. J. Mukpiiy, Mayor.
alem, May 10, 1888.
Mr. It. Koehler, receiver of the O.
C, has also written the mayor a
ter explaining, at length, his
legram of Tue&day. Mr. Koehler
I to that he insists on tho indein
fjing bond, because the company
n't wait to begin construction of
e depot until the preliminary
raialities are complied with, and
wants to be on the wife side of
mgs with the company. He adds:
I 'arties residing at Salem, who are
terested in the change of location,
e in position to give the proper
re and attention to this and other
fats coining up in connection
ith the question of location, and it
ems to melt should be a small
itter for them to give an uuder
ikiug as asked for by us, because
ey could fully protect themselves
seeing that nothing is neglected
Ueh would place them in a
tsitioii under which they could be
lied upon under such document."
The citizens of Salem now have
i opportunity to secure the removal
the passenger depot to a point
ar the center of tho city, a point
ut would be a great deal more con-
nient for the general traveling
Ibllc. Tho buildincr. which the
mpany will erect, will be a haud-
Ime ornament to the city. It now
rains for the citizens to decide
Biether they have been In earnest
their clamors for the removal of
edepoUite or not, whether the
Use that has been piled up on tho
pagers of the O. & C. It. H. has
n really because tho "abusers"
'I not think the managers of tho
ail would accommodate Salem, or
Biether it was only to vent an over-
maance of spleen against them,
iply because of personal grudges,
now remains for the neonlo of
Fm to get in, and put up tho
KM, or let the depot be built at
' old stand. Hereafter, if the
tola done, the railroad company
fid not be made to boar tho

MEHAMA NOTES-
Death From nn Overdose of Morphine
Last evening the wife of J. S. Sor
bin died from the supposed elfects of
an overdose of morphine. Mrs. Sor
biu was an Inveterate user of moi
phlne nnd opium ; and notwith
standing constant watchfulness by
her husband, she managed by "un
derground" moans to keep herself
supplied with these narcotics. Mr.
Sorbin had instituted preliminary
action for a divorce, and this fact
may, perhaps, have excited her to
take an overdose. This case calls for
a coroner's inquest if my informa
tion is correct in the premises.
I notice by a communication ill
your journal, that tho little town
across tho river from here (under the
eye ofN. Milh esq.) has been re
christened, and is now called Ly
onsville. The original christening
committee consider themselves offi
cially ignored, slightly Kit down
upon in thus substituting so com
mon a name for the unique and
pleasant sounding Podunk. Pod-
uuk Is waiting for the iron horse of
the W. V. & C. R. R. Co. to run in
before commencing any "Green Bay
Tree" extravagance.
S. M. McClane, for prohl sheriff,
is going to carry Fox Valley, Kings
Prairie, and Weasel Flat.
S. W. Lobarcls repairing his house
and the same now looks like new,
"just from the mould."
Surveyors and topographical en
gineers still continue to g up the
line of the W. V. & C. R. R. This
looks like business.
Fisher Bros, have about completed
their new house, it would be an or
nament to any town.
Lots of field strawberries, large,
ripe and lucious.
Dick M. an old Jacksonian demo
crat, says he'll be blessed If ho votes
for Cleveland or any other of his
sheep killing tribe. Dick can't stand
free trade, especially on wool.

Ed. Capital Jeurnal: In the
Sllverton election on Monday, the
prohibitionists made a good display
of strength, tying five of tho coun
cil, and only lacking two or three
votes to elect the wholo ticket. To
save tho expense and delay of
nnother election those candidates
who were tied agreed to pull straws;
but it is now reported that tho votes
cast for tho prohibitionists aro to be
thrown out, because they aro print
ed on the wrong kind of paper.
I don't know who has ordered
this summary way of settling a con
test, or whether the candidates and
those who supported them with
their ballots will submit to such
suppression. It is certainly a daring
attempt to disfranchise one-half of
a city population because of a trif
ling irregularity, and I cannot
believe that the voters of Sllverton
will submit to it. They did not
print the ballots and voted them in
good faith, and to nullify their
votes because of tho carelessness of
some committeeman is too high
handed a proceeding for freemen to
submit to. This may be tho Louis
iana method, but it will not suit the
latitude of Oregon.

you kindly permit me to announco
through the columns of your paper
that tho prohibition candidates of

1 o'clock p. m.? A meeting was
held at Dallas on the oth when can
didates of all tho three parties were
present, at which time tho subject
of a joint canvass of the county was
discussed. For some reason both
old party candidates cho&o to make
no canvass, so tho prohls must go It
