It is reported that his tour bus connection with the pro posed chauges in the train arrange ment of the Oregon line. A new exprebs train is proposed. An ar rangement will soon be perfected whereby the regular train for Port land will run up the Sacramento canyon by daylight, and eating houses are now being built at Red ding and Shasta to accommodate the new order of things." Tricks Upon Trartlcri. Much has been written of old stage coaches and some modern rail road lines for taking travelers' money for meals, and then hurry ing them off before they had half satisfied their hunger. But if the Journal is correctly informed, and and it believes it is, the great Ore gon Pacific railroad liotel at Yn quina "knows a trick worth two "of all such. Some young ladies, by no means rich, because only typos, started for a few days' outing at Newport. On the arrival of the Corvallis train on Friday night, nt Ynquiua, the runners induced them and Deacon Hatch, wife and others to "stay for supper nt the big hotel, because all travelers do." They were assured that the Newport boat would wait for them. Before they had finished a "two-bif meal, for which they were charged half a dollar pRob, ojud boat went off, leav ing the ladies without their baggage, and compelling all to take rooms for the night, nud disappointed friends and disarranged plans at Newport. An impromptu indigna tion meeting was held, but that did not take them to their destination, nor refund them their money. To some of these pleasure seekers, both time and money may have been an object, and it is safe to &ay that they will make no secret of treatment that will cause other pleasure seek ers to give the Yaquina hotel a wide berth. These tricks should not be played on any body, but least of all on newspaper people, unless public ity is not objected to. Oregon Press Association. The preparations to make the an nual meeting of the above Associa tion next Friday a decided success are maturing. No doubt Salem will do herself credit in extending a hearty welcome to that most ob servant and appreciative clas? of men, the editors of the State. They arc never backward iu giving their readcra pleasant impressions made. After the courtesies of the hour, ami fraternal greetings, a business meeting is to be held at which the interests of the profession will be discussed to mutual prolir, and with u view to keeping the tone and standurd of Oregon journalism to its proper level. Before tho public meeting in the State House, at night, tho guests of the city, especially those from a distance, should be driven around town with a call at tho various public institutions. Tho addresses of Gov. Pcnnoyer, Mayor of Portland, President Piper, of Corvallis, and tho original poem of J. B. Horner, of Eoseburg, will bo well worthy the attendance of our citizens. Wo hope to sec a good, general interest manifested by all on this occasion. A BUCKET OP SWILL. Newspaper Man Who "Voids Abuse on Safe Objects. His A Xew Firm. Last Saturday, Lieut. Is&ac j Jlannintr resumed his position as City Editor of the Capital Joint' sal and embarked In a new business in this city, with Mr. AVylic A. Moores. He has formed a partnership in tho ilrni of Moores & Manning, Real Estate, Insurance and Collect ion Agency, with their oillco at 245 Commercial Street. Both" gentle men have a fargo circle of acquaint ance both within and beyond Marlon County, and start out with a good prospect of building up a remuner ative business.

But every editor who uses his columns wantonly to blackguard Christian men who have provoked his spleen, and who by their reli gious profession are withheld from administering such muscular re plies, as any other mau with a spark of self-respect would resort to, is contemptible and cowardly. Tho editor I refer to is careful not to in dulge his abuse, and long strings of low Hung epithets against saloon keepers and fellows that hit out from tho shoulder. His Ignoble de light is in pouring his billingsgate on religious professors, teachers and preachers; charges of fraud are heaped on such without any attempt at proof, "hypocrite," "incompe tent," "untrustworthy," "lit only for a superintendent of a hog yard," needing to be "kicked out," and so on ad nauseam. There may havo been a time when such injurious epithets were not undeserved, but there is no justification for them now, and their repetition in Sunday's issue of the Statesman, offends the stomachs of all decent people. That journal should change its name to the Marion County Sifting-i, or some other equally suggestive and rele vant, and not pretend to the respect able position of a family newspaper. Crriznx. Salkm, Or., Aug. Oth. l.NST.UUTIOX. - MOXM0CTH AND INDEPENDENCE. SIISCKLLANKOVS. The following ollioers olect of Cap ital Lodge No. 11, 1. O. Q..T., were installed by the Grand Chief Tem plar of Oregon : C.T., John Knight; V. T., Mrs. May Poach; Sec, Capt. L. S. Scott; A. S., Laura Ihimp; F. S., Frank Davy; Ties., C. W. Serib er; M., James Clow; D. M., Jessie Laughead: Chaplain O. M. Litch field; Guard, Mrs. M. J. Miller; Sen tinel, Silas Howard. The lodge is growing in numbers, and usefulness nt this time of year when all societies are apt to fall be hind owing to the busy season, and absenco of many members from town. The cflects.ot the iroon lodge are undeniable, and it is hoped that many more, of Salem's god citi zen's will unite their iulluence and efforts in this direction. A MnMimit. Comfortable Weather. Eastern readers of the Journal, of whom there are not a few, whilo weltering during these dog days, might note that so cool and pleasant is tho present harvesting weather that frequently theweariugofa coat is not Inconvenient in tho Held, and alittlofireon the hearth at night iseheerfuland not out place.

Aeorrcspondontasks tho Journal to call the road master's attention to several small defective, culverts on e road to Hull's Forry, evidently recently broken. Lost a Day. All havo heard of tho busy farmer who went to town with his wife, left her shopping, and drove home alone forgetting nil about her till the children asked him, where was ma? It has leaked out that a well known banker, orchardist and fruit evaporator was so busy, a day or two ago, as to have lost a day iu his reckoning, in 11 similar way. Ho drove his lnittor half to tne depot and arranged to meet her the' following night on her return from Portland. As ho was not on limirt at tho appointed time, tho lady's pastor, who happened to be present, drove her to her suburban home. Soon after ho met the hus band in town ami remarked that lie had lust driven the lady homo as she was disappointed at not seeing him, the husband, at tho depot. The astonished gentleman said, "My, it is only this morning that T took her to tho dopot ; it is to-mor row she was to return." He had lost a day ; that was all. IMPORTANT MEKTIXH. Personal. Mr. N. II. Frohlichstein, of Mo bile, Ala., writes: I take great pleasure in recommending Dr. King's New Discovery for consump tion, having used It for a sovero at tack of Bronchitis and Catarrh. It gave me instant relief and outirely cured me and I have not been allliet- cd since. I also beg to state that 1 had tried other remedies with no good result. Havo also used Elec tric Bitters and Dr. King's New Life Pills, both of which I can rec ommend. Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and.' Colds, Is sold on a positive guarantee. Trial bottles freo at Dr. II. W. Cox's Drug Store,, - t Beautiful situation is this college town. The school, chapel, church and business part of tho embryo city aro on a gentle rise, giving a flue view of the surrounding, roll ing country, cut up into good farms, backed by tho everlnstlng hills at the west. The general health is reported as good, but Mrs. Bertly a week ago suffered a slight stroke of paralysis, from which she is recovering. Her daughter and son-in-law, Mrs. and Mr. J. G. Davidson, of Portland, have been visiting her. Things are quiet because students are home for the long vacation, and others are out in tho harvest Held. This is quite a literary center. Mr. Chas. Doughty, editor of the Polk County Observer, is publishing this "long felt want," sounding abroad tho praises of his part of the world, giving the news, and booming Har rison and Morton. He is expected with the other editors at Salem, on Friday. Editor E. C. Pentland and wife nlo reside here, though his paper, the Vo-t Side, is published at Independence. A call at his oillco revealed everything lively both in newspaper and job printing r departments. He and W. AN. Brooks, still in the oillco, are coining to the Press Association. President Stanley and wife have returned from the N. E. A., which being interpreted means National Educational Association, iu San Francisco. They say it was a grand gathering of talent and sociability, and'tbe ho-pitality was royal. But they rejoice in a return from tho heat and dryness of California to the coolne-s and verdure of Oregon. Tho prospects of the State Normal School were never more llattoring for a large attendance. The building ued for tho publio school, is very neat and "attractive. Elder II. M. Messiek, pastor of the Christian church, will make a protracted visit to his old homo in Missouri. Elder J. W. "Webb preached for him to a largo congre gation, on Sunday night.

L. V. Hobertson has a number of men preparing the foundation for his large, brick opera housebuilding. Lew has been pretty much all over tho State and tho Sound, taking careful observations, and ho has faith enough iu the outcome of tho Vil lammettc Valley, to return and make permanent Investments there. Two other good brick buildings with iron fronts arc projected. The water works are now run by steam; the mains have been considerably ex tended; water for domestic and gar den irrigation purposes is abundant, and tho business streets can bu watered like those of tho Capital elis or any other largo town. Indepen dence Is securing a very fair share of the immigration. Harvesting is under big headway and crojH aro good. Going over the tree bridge, and roturning by Hall's Ferry gives an extended view of tho country. The distance by tho latter route is shortor and the river road good, amply compensating for the extra twenty cents on uio nne, now noai. Mr. Taylor, who leases from Mr. Hall, is a very accommodating gentleman. VlHlTOIt. The (treat tand Kuterrle. Energetic measures are being adopted by tho Mexican Land and Development Co., for tho carrying out of the great enterprise to which we alluded in a recent issue iu con nection with the Grant of Land it lias required iu the state of Tamau- Upas, Mexico. Tho hardest of tho surveying is already done, and it is estimated that in a year, ..800,(XX) acres can be surveyed, of which tho Company will take l,)0,(KXf acres. The land lias navigable rivers, and harbors, and coal, and dense forests of flue timber, and petroleum, and precious metals, and other minerals; but suppose it hud nothing at all ex cept the baru laud, and suppose that it does not bring more than the l.tiO per acre, you uilght llguro what the profit will bo on some million acres.
