rpnortcr of this paper asked
President Wright, of the board of
(rule regaruinjj i" iiiiu.uua ,
lie Pamphlet recently published by
he committee, and was informed
hit fuy thrce lmnilred nPPlica"
Ho'ns had already been received, and
that they were coming in now at
the rate of six or seven a day.
Do the applications for informa
tion ask many questions, not gener
ally replied to by the pamphlet?"
"The pamphlet, I think," an
swered President Wright, "contains
almost every item of information
usually wanted. The principal
questions are concerning the clhnato
and nature of the soil."
"Have you received aDy letters
from persons to whom the pamphlet
has been sent, written since they re
vived the book?" was asked again.
"Yes, one. Here it is," said Mr.
Wright.
It is from Mrs. E. K. Cutter, of
Pueblo, Colo., and reads as follews:
Deir Sir :"Your letter, postal
and book received, for which please
accept our thanks. Am favorably
impressed with tho account of your
valley. Please send me two or three
of your city dailies, or any of your
newspapers published m Salem.
Have heard from your agent in Illi
nois, and I think strongly of com
ing to your city."
"Here Is another," said Mr.
Wright, "from D. C. Calef, Boston.
It reads as follows :
"You will confer a favor by send
ing me a pamphlet, and a copy of
some local paper. After I settle my
business here, I have an idea of
coing to some point on the Pacific
coast. Any printed matter will be
carefully read, and I may buy in
your location." '
"These," continued Mr. Wright,
"are fair samples of the correspond-
ence. Here's one,
Here's one. however, that
differs from the others." It was a
postal, and is given "verbatim et
literatum, et spellum, et punctua
tum." "Salem Board of Trade Please
Don't Send mo your Books I Don't
want Them Yours Truly John B
Van Ness 716 Washington St., N.
Y city."
It is evident Van did not want to
be tempted ; but he was sent a pam
phlet, just the same.
There are plenty of these books at
theofliceof President Wright now,
and everybody who wants to send
one to friends in tho East, can get
them by calling and agreeing to
send them.
It was learned that J. M. Wright,
the Oregon Land Company's excur
sion agent, at Vermillion, Ills.,
would leavo Kansas City, presum
ably, with an excursion party for
salem about tho tenth. These parties
will bo numerous this summer, it is
likely.
Six and a Hair Inches.
The size "around the belt" of a
strawberry, presented at this office
to-day. Dr. L. A. Tort brought it
in, with a cluster of fifty more that
will average 5 inches in circum
ference, at least. They are strung
on a stalk of clover thirty-five inches
in length. Both the clover and
berries grew in tho garden of Dr.
Port at the corner of "Winter and
Ferry street, on gravely soli, with
out Irrigation or manure. They are
only fair samples of the entire crop
of this valley this year. A few
weeks since, wo were getting straw
berries from California, that wero
about the size of an ordinary cherry.
A local merchant sent a crate of a
dozen boxes of tho Oregon product
to the California commission mer
chant a few days since, to show him
what strawberries were.
President Van Scoy of the Wil
kmett, university informed a
JouuxAii reporter to-day that the
new catalogue for 1887 and '88 was
now in the printer's hands, and
would be completed next week. It
fhows that there wero 392 pupils
enrolled during the year. This Is
the largest enrollment in tho history
that Institution, and tho largest
' any university in tho state.

The House Painters.
There is the greatest demand for
painters this year, that has over
been known in Salem. The art of
house painting has become so fine a
one, that it is not every person that
can do it. It used to bo that a man
with a whitewash brush, and a
bucket of lime was a house painter.
Now a whitewash brush, will not
do. The late style of painting and
finishing houses, requires that a
man bo as thorough an artist, as
though he wero going to paint a
buggy.
There are several first class house
painters, in this city, and they are
rushed all the time. There are a
largo number of houses now being
repainted, and a largo number
awaiting a visit from them. Gov.
Moody's residence, Hon. Ed
Hirsch's residence, Ed Hutchins'
new cottage 6n Mill street, Mrs. A.
F. Cox's homo on Summer street,R.
B. Fleming's new cottage on Cot
tago.'and. Center streets and numer
ous other houses are being repainted,
and thero are several new cottages,
the outside of which are nearing
completion, that will be ready for
them in a few days.
The State Grange.
The State Grange adjourned sino
die last evening, and most of the
delegates returned homo to-day.
They passed a resolution yesterday
forbidding the publication of their
proceedings, so of course, the per
sons who had kindly acted as re
porters for the press,wero afterwards
"mum as an oyster." The resolu
tion, it is understood, emluatcd
from a Washington Territory dele
gate named Yeomans, whosaid that
tho reporters wero "glvlngthegrange
secrets dead away." Last night a
class of twenty-seven wero given the
sixth degree, before tho order ad
journed.
l'late Indians.
It has been recently ascertained
by a Harney valley paper that thero
are one hundred and sixteen Piute
Indians in Harney valley and vicin
ity, among whom thero are seven
blind women and ten blind men.
Tho greater number of these Indians
are said to bo in a starving condi
tion, begging from door to door by
which means they manage to exist.
It seems strange that this govern
ment cannot feed (he starving In
dians out of tho largo sums appro
priated by congress, from year to
year, for that purpose.

Sovoral of the candidates spent
last night in this city, and went out
