It Is supposed that now the citizens snlpm have become so used to meeting and welcoming distinguish ed visitors, they will bo on hand to receive the men (with their wives) uho publish the fame of great cit ies to all the world. A largo attend ance is expected. Let the chamber of representatives be filled by the ladies and gentlemen of Salem at the public meeting. To commence at S o'clock. "Neier too Late." By a notice iu another column it will be seen that Eev. J. L. Par- rub for a third time in life lias shrown his belief in the scriptural statement that it is not good for man to live alone. Although past the rarely reached four score years he has again taken a better half. To many this may seem strange and open to adverse criticism. But sure ly it is hardly the concern of the public. The couple cannot be said to be too young or inexperienced. They are of age and can surely bo al lotted to choose for themselves. Anil perhaps only thoso who have experienced the bolace of long com panionship can realize the sense of desolation resulting from the loss of 'one's other self-" A large circle of friends will wish the couple much happiness. o- The University. The young men's dining room is lieing enlarged and improved under thesupervisionof Eev.lB. J. Sharpe, in anticipation of an increased at tendance. Applications for rooms are being constantly received by President VauScoy. The "Women's College has been so lately renovated iuside and out that it is as good as new. The University building will he put in good trim before Monday, Sept. 3rd, the day of opening the new term and year of '88-89. Accepted a l'astorate. Rev. Anselm C. Brown, of Cin cinnati, who has been staying at the Chemekete hotel, left for tho East jesterday. He has accepted the pastorate of tho Congregational church, mado vacant by the resigna tion of Eev. J. W. Harris, on he count of ill health, and will return to take charge in about three weeks. He has the air of an able man. Fresh Every Day. Fnrrar & Co. havo n fresh stock of fruits, vegetables and berries every day, and their fancy and staple grocery department is constantly re plenished. PKltSONALS. Charles Gray and family have gono to Ncstucca. Rev. A. Leroy, returned to Astoria Way after a short visit to Eev. A. R. Medberry. Ex-Sheriff Minto has been south to California and north to the Sound but is back, undecided where ho will anchor. Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Meek, of Chi cago, are being entertained by Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Wallace, formerly of that city. Capt. L. S. Scott takes his place ou the letter carrier route for fifteen lays; George Hatchlwill then take his vacation. Prof. H. S. Strange, late Principal of the Corvallis public schools, tar ried in Salem yesterday on his way to a similar position at La Grande, 1'uion county. 1'rof. Ed. Bonnott who Is putting in his vacation on insurance work u Washington Territory, is re-on-?ged to toach tho Stayton school for a nine months torm. Ben. Taylor, astride of Ills faithful d never wearied bloyolo, started bright and early this morning for otvhIIU to meet his wife who will vrheon the train when they will K to Ytuiulna. It Is with sincere regret that we unouueo tho continued serious and dangerous illness of Mrs. Brookh at Um family rufeidonco near the Fair 8uii1, Xorth Salem. Unless a &"nge for the bettor speedily occurs fctal termination Is feared. LOCAL NOTES. Call on Winters & Thomas for tho best groceries in town 1 Painless dental operations at Dr. T. C.

One or two more delegations of teachers aro expected to pass through oalem as the rear guard of the great army that recently gathered, from all parts of tho Union, in San Fran cisco. Hon. T. McF. Patton does Salem more honor. He has gouo on with the eastern teachers to tho Cascades to describe the points of intcrestand make it interesting for the visitors. The right man iu the right place. Mr. Williams, the efficient fore man of the printing department of this paper, was compelled to lay oil yesterday on account of sickness. Any shortcomings in tho make-up must bo laid to the fact of tho force being short-handed and hurried. Mr. Williams is at his post again to day. Contracts wero awarded yesterday by Col. Lee of the folfowing supplies for the Indian school at Chemawa: Salem Flouring mills 78.000 pounds of Hour at !?3.70 per barrel. Willard & McCrow, 32,000 pounds meat SG.74 per 100. A bid for oats at 45 cents per bushel was rejected as too high. No bids were received for meal. An idea is abroad that the fruit drying company can take unlimited quantities of plums. Two men nr rived last evening with a load apiece and wero much disappointed because tho fruit was not needed, and, on short notice, they could not dispose of it to the stores. Should not the company when advertising for fruit specify that contracts must bo made before it is brought, or the owners run tho risk of its not being needed? The 0. 1'. means Business. Tho contract for completing tho unfinished work begun by Contrac tors Hinit and Bennett was let on Saturday to Brink & West. Already theso gentlemen have begun buying supplies and material for tho work to be done. Iu a day or two u gang of bridge carpenters will proceed to tho front and go to work, and graders and track layers will begin as soon as supplies and tools for tho work can be gotten forward. Twenty two miles of rails have been laid and grading done In patches beyond. Tho contract let will take tho road tho present season about seventy miles beyond Albany, the distance given the other dny by tho Dem ocrat, an amount of work which bhould satisfy the most skeptical that business is meant. Next Spring at as early a date as the weather will permit, it is propsed to make n general onslaught ou Boise City. Mr. West was In the city yesterday and stated that work would lw push ed with all practicable speed during the remainder of the year. So says the Albany Democrat. Krom a former Oregonlan. FllIKND Locklky : I havo re colved the bright, spicy, clear-cut Capitol Journal of July 27th, which you were kind enough to send me, and am by Its porusal al most pernuaded to return to Oregon, the homo of my earlier, happier days.

Laying aside tho excessive diffi dence that always characterizes, not to say embarrasses, a newspaper man, a Journal reporter yesterday turned his blind eye towards tho notice "No admittance," and enter ed tho main entrance of tho Willam ette Valley Fruit Company's build ing. His excuso was simply that where was so much activity and business thero must be something of interest to the readers of a coun ty paper. Mr. E. S. Wallace, who is personally superintending the works, was just starting to show somo visitors tho various operations, and the writer joined the procession. First, the fresh fruit Is delivered by wagons, or cars switched from the railroad track to the door. Then it is sorted so as to secure only the souud article. They are now work ing with plums, chlelly greengages. Theso aro dipped for a few moments in a solution of lye, which allects the skins, and makes the drylug process more rapid and satisfactory. They are next subjected to a slight action of sulphur, for bleaching pur poses, after which they are placed In single layers on trays, which fit in cases on wheels, forming minia ture cars containing CO bushels each. These are wheeled to and placed in tho evaporator with a capacity of nearly 500 bushels, about a day's work with tho small plums. But of apples, 1,500 bushels per day, are ex pected to be put through, in placo of only 300 before the enlargement of the establishment this year. Fifty persons, many of them young women, daughters of worthy and well known residents, are now em ployed, but it take will 75 as soon as apples come in. Mrs. C. C. Walker, of Zena, has supervision of tho girls and their work. Tho power was supplied by a wheel on the mill race the wntjr of which runs by the premises to tho lnrge Homing mills. But this being inadequate to tho increased need, a Boynton furnace has been put in in addition to a less powerful ouo pre viously used. Tho temperature is admirably adapted to tho design, and is capable of very nico regula tion. After the drying process is com pleted, the trays of fruit aro examin ed, and any portions needing more subjection to heat are put aside for another turn at the evaporator. Any defective pieces are thrown aside. The rest are in duo time placed in sizable boxes, made on the premises, a id subjected to a pressure that re duces the bulk to CO pounds In each. These aro all legibly stamped "Wil lamette Valley Fruit Company, Sa lem, Oregon;" quite an advertise ment in itself, and which It would be no wonder' if some of our enter prising "boomers" should follow up by getting permission to slip Into each box a brief, descriptive and Il lustrated circular of tho town and valley whero such fine fruit Is grown. Tho largo egg plums and prunes make a much finer display, as the fruit is more meaty, and the stones proportionally smaller, not adhering to the fruit but freely slip ping loose. They aro also glossed over with sugar syrup, to add to their attractiveness, before being packed. The total value of the plant, evap orator and attachments, Is $0,000 Fruit comes In from all directions, the load supply not being at all times sufficient. It has been iu operation three weeks, and Is expect ed tocontlnue till the beginning of December. Besides tho supplying of material and labor for building, and tho pay roll of employes, the consumption of wood for tho fur nace is quite an Item of expenditure for tho good of tho neighborhood An addition to tho ntorohouo is being built. Tho desire and inten tion of Mr. Wallace and the rest of tho -company Is to add a fruit can iwjryjwsooii as tho prospect for its being profitable Is apparent. Mr. Wallace has Kit out ou his larire. now orchard, thousands of trees of the kinds most doslrable for canning. Tho different laud agendo la town aro wisely putting ou the mar ket small tracts of choice land for fruit farms, as then seams to be a growing demand for them. As a P. B., It is mildly suggested that any one inviting the president or any employe to lunoli, need not rogalo them with dried plums In any form as a novelty or treat.

No matter how many speakers vou havo heard, another one, if good, Is suro to interest you. Prof. Ford, nu educated man and educa tor, of Michigan, who is returning from the Teachers' National Asso ciation, is to address the citizens of Salem to-night In the W. C. T U. hall.

Tin: San Francisco Journal of Commerce says tho California raisin is fast drawing tho foreign article out of tho market. It then gives some figures iu relation to this prod uct. Last year tho output was 800, 000 boxes, requiring 58,000,000 Urn. of fresh grapes. One ton of grapes will make COO lbs. of raisins. Tho profits of this business are liberal. This au thority says: "At the lowest calcu lation an acre will ylold $100, and in many localities a yield of $500 an acre Is possible." The Import duty Is 2 cents a pound, which tho Mills bill would reduce to 1 conts, anil this very reasonable reduction Is oj posedwlth a violent protest from tho California grape growers. This blind devotion to protection Is well enough for the producing class; but how about the sixty million of our population who are clamoring for cheaper living? MAKltlKI). I'AIlltlHU-l'IKUCK.
