Let all endure his absence as best they may. Just What It .Needed. Tho Journal has advocated tho building of a foot walk from tho railroad depot across tho road, dusty in summer and muddy in winter, so that ladies can walk to tho train and if need bo wheel tho baby bug gies all the way from town on to the platform. The company is about to oorumenco this needed work. But m order to avoid tho trestlo work it will cross tho road south of tho Mdges. Now tho citizens should continue the present sidewalk in front of tho fruit drier to tho cross tag spoken of. The city council wghtto insist on lis being done, wd done at once. Soon the debris f tho old depot will be cleared ay, the side tracks and freight Gtfs will bo kept on tho east side so tit nothing -will-obstruct tho way f the view, and a good sidewalk to 'j Platform and tho front entrance tho depot is indispensable. .

An Observant Man's Favorable Opinion of Jheillametta ,'aUy-He Things Immigration Will Flow in Here Before Long. j Dr. L. A. Port droppedr.lnto the Journal offico to-day with his. old friend and neighbor, W. T. Mo Ncaly, ex-district judge,- from San Diego, .Southern California. The judge is a very affable gentleman of marked intelligence, with ,good powers of observation, and a man of means. Some matters of general interest were gleaned for the readers of these columns. Reporter Judge, is it true that the.bottom has all fallen out of San Diego aud that it is now as dull as ditchwater? Judge Oh no. San Diego is still there, firm and solid and growing. Tho extraordinary real estate boom is over and things are much quieter than they were. But a good deal of real estate is changing hands and so much building is going on that a Salcmite would supjwse that the big boom had just begun. Outside blocks and fields cut up into an im mense number of "town lots" for which therenever wasanyneed, and for which speculators tried to create an artificial demand are not selling. But some inside, gilt edge property on tho main business street still brings a thousand dollars a front foot. Then our superbly even climate stays with us, and brings a constant influx, of visitors by rail aud steamer. Many of these buy and become residents. R. Tho impression hero is that you barely escaped a uroutn tuis year and that crops are very short. J. People who have not traveled through California forget that it is a state of magnificent proportions and infinite variety. Some years rain is .scarcer in tuo soutu tnau in tue north. This year it is vico versa. .During a residence there of twonty years I have, never seen a finer season nor better crops. Tills is true of San Diego, Los Angeles and San Bernardino couuties. But 'further north the rainfall and crops arc below tho average. R. How is our old friend, Frank .Kimball,- tho. man. of indomitable faith, energyaud enterprise? J. Frank still lives inspitooflack of robust health, if only to enjoy tho fulfillment of his prophecies about tho growth of San Diego, and to ' spite tho enemies that a man of such force of character always makes. i ItxHas .National City, where Kimball's plnce, a few years since, looked like an oasis in tho desert, developed into anything? J. Yes, indeed. It would astonish you. A Boston company has spent two million dollars in damming tho Sweet "Water creek and making water works, and now tho whole place blossoms like a rose. R. And what do you think of tills country? J. It is astonishing for sizo, fer tility and resources. R. Is it not pretty good for climate seeing that it is now well on towards September, and yet so cool? J. Yes, I havo been up in this jpart of tho world for a month and can but admire tho weather. R. How far north havo you been? J. Into tho Sound country. And I confess there is a great future before Oregon and Washington Ter ritory, beyond all question. R. You think a heavier immi gration will come this way? J. It could not be prevented. With the climate, extent and cap abilities of tin Willamette valley, it will so attract home seekers and in vestors; as to fill up and Improve more iu tho next twenty years than tho east docs in a hundred. R. What do you think is tho main hlndranceto that comingabout rapidly? J. Well, to be candid, you people are too well off, and do not half realize what a good thing you have. It. In what way? J. Well grass, grain and fruit grow so luxuriantly, I was going to say spontaneously, anil with such absolute certainty, that it seems to call for but moderate work and Bwrcoly any plannlug or anxiety. I believe a drouth or a failure of crops would do Oregon good. It. In what way? J. It would wake them up out of their easy going ways. It would sliarpen their wits, and reveal to them what a good, wwy time they Imve had all time years. And it would .iuduee a thrift, eoHHHHy and systematic wurk that I should think is not as general ae in some etatea beoaufoe neettsdty has not called for It. To a Caltfornlau your orehardu look a though they bore, even to the point of breaking .down, with very little., care, With better care you can raise still better and more magnificent fruits Butall this, with the subdivision of the largo farms, will come before long. I am most favorably impressed with this valley and Its future. A Slight Ckuge or Time. As a change in tho time-table of the O. & C. railroad has been for some time expected and is now in operation, and various reports are afloat about it, the following has been obtained from Agent Skinner: The morning California express will still arrive at 8:13 ; the train from Portland to Eugene at 11:10 a. m., instead ofll:02 as before ; thothrough night mail train to California 0:44, only seven minutes later than tho old schedule. In this connection it should be remembered that tho town clock in the court house tower is nearly ten minutes slower than railroad time. Also that letters can bo mailed on tho through trains 6:13 a. m. and 0:44 p. m. but not on tho other trains as they carry only closed pouches, and not for every town on the line. An Able Man Sick. The ninny friends of Rev. J. Q. A. Henry, of the First Baptist church, Portland, will greatly regret to learn that ho never recovered from his accident in being thrown from a hack in Ireland. Ho has been obliged to give up his pastorate in Portland. He has received several calls to tho pastorate of different churches. One was to the Third Baptist church of St. Louis, another from tho First Baptist church of Los Angeles, and tho third call from tho First church of Seattle. Owing to the delicate stato of his health, Mr. Henry has been compelled to decline accepting these ilnttering oilers; and it is very questionable if he will be ablo to'contiuuo his work in tho ministry for a year or two. Look Out for Fires. When Henry Earle's threshing crew finished their job nt Mrs. Van- dorvert's place on the Zena road in Polk county, Friday, a littlo before ,110011, they moved their outfit to the house and failed to extinguish a fire Iwhlch had caught in the st ubblo from tho engine. About ono o'clock one of the farm hands noticed a big smoko in the field and on going out to examine into the case, ho found that tho fire had spread to a stack of sacked wheat and was burning fiercely. After somo energetic work the flames wero subdued, after thirty or forty bushels of grain had been destroyed. After Haifa iCenlury. Dr. It. H. and Mrs. Crawford, of Brownsville, well known in Salem as tho parents of Mrs. M. C. Starr, of tills city, will celebrate tho fiftieth anniversary of their marriage, by a golden wedding to-night, on which occasion there will bo a family re union, at which tho two sons and two daughters of tho nged couple will be present. Tho family has been in Oregon for twenty -six years. They havo numerous friends in Sa lem to wish them many happy returns of tho day. Will Settle In Oregon. Prof. M. V. Rork, of Michigan, who spent part of last summer and this in Oregon, returns home to-day for his wife, having decided to settlo in Salem. Ho expects also to so tell the advantages of Oregon as to induco several relatlvos and neigh bors to exchange the rigors of tho Wolvorlne winters for the milder ones here. Ho will have some won derful stories to toll about fruit, grain, vegetables and pleasant sum mer weather. Oregonlan. Tke Tabernacle, The lecture of Rev. G. B. RIoman, in tho Baptist church on Sunday night, was both Interesting and in structive, especially to tho young people. It was also pointed and practical enough for a gospel sermon. Tho complete modol served well to illustrate it. Mr. Rlomun wont to Oregon City, and it is not unlikely that he will accept a pastorate in this state. Gov. Pennoyer ha coat-anted to deliver the mmting address at Douglass county fair, at RoMthurg.

Dr. Spencer will deliver an address on church extension on Friday night at tho M. E. church, Already you can hear persons tell Ing what stock and other exhibits they will take to the state fair. Tho interest is growing. A magnificent display of ripo peaches is to bo seen at Martin fe Cox's store. They como tram Wheatland, just across the river. To-morrow afternoon the Young Woman's Foreign Missionary so ciety will entertain the ladles of the M. 12. Church at tea in the basement of the building. There were no services on Sunday in tho Presbyterian, Congregational and Christian churches because tho threo buildings are being cleaned, repaired and re-fitted. Men of means and experience from Wichita, Kansas, know when they see a good place for an invest ment, this experience having given them an intention. His visit to Salem is evidence of tho attractions of this section. A gentleman who has been through this, aud parts of adjoining counties, says tho hop crop averages very well, nnd much of it is extra good. Now, what about tho price? Somo declaro tlioy will not pick un less certain of a fair price. According to ono of tho great political luminaries of this city, it is very difficult to distinguish a repub lican from a democrat ; you are very liable to tako the ono for the other. That they may be positively distin guished, greater care is to bo exor cised as to tho color of their hat bands ! A stranccr suggests n way of making money and conferring a public boncfit at tho same time. Ho thinks that the real estate men should go round and put up sign boards at tho perplexing cross roads and at the same time advertise their business. Now nothing is charged for the advice, but do not all land sellers start at once. Tho man Kelly, who created trouble with his wife and daughter who declared they could not live with him and had como out here to make their own way In tho world, was furnished a railroad ticket by the county Judgo and started for Missouri yesterday. Mrs. Kelly, who came on a vain search for her son was helped back in like maimer on Saturday. Business ofileos usually close long before tho sotting of the sun, par ticularly on Saturdays. But passing the Oregon Land Company's ofilco at 8 o'clock last Saturday night a number of strangers were noticed thore, and evidently consid erable business was being done. Sure as you live now is tho time to Invest in property hereabouts, for good places will never bo cheaper. Anotker Ileal Estate limine.
