Tho president and professors of tho Willamette University Have wisely contemplated the selection of bome advantageously situated location In the foothills for a health and pleasure resort during vacations. It is to have au intellectual and educa tional tinge to it though recreation and not study is the object Teachers, students and former stu dents, and friends of the educational institutions of Salem would hatu'ral- lv tflkn im InfnrAst. in thn 111 nil and the place, securing l(fs, building ttages and spending moro or less time there. No selection has yet been made. One iu Linn county lias been examined, and another In Marion county is being visited and I under advisement. The latter ia in the foothills, possesses all the ad vantages of mountain scenery, puro airand good wator and has thegreat advantage of a mineral spring of medicinal properties.

Another of the Noble Band of Oregon Pioneers Gone to Rest. Fnneral Services t the M. K. Church, Salem. One and forty years ago came to this state, then not even an organ ized territory, Rev. Dr. Wm. Rob erts, In companyt with Rev. J. H., long known as "Father" Wilbur. It is specially fitting that now since death has somewhat suddenly called him from his life of zealous labors for God and humanity, that his re mains should be brought to Salem. As superintendent of tho Leo Mission of tho M. E. church aud president of the conference, Salem was his first headquarters. As one of the incorporators of the AVlllametto Univorsity and intimately Identified with tho de nomination, his sympathies, pres ence and efforts were continually turned to this place. Not long ago he took part in the fuueral services of Father Wilbur iu this church. Deceased was about 75, and came from New York state. On the plat form, aiding In the services, were, Presidiug Elder Dr. W. S. Harring ton, Rev. Dr. Doau, J. L. Parrish, Wm. Rollins, A. S. Starr and J. Hoberg of tho M. E. church, and Rev. C. C. Poling of tho Evangelic church. Dr. Doauc and Dr. Harrington de livered the addresses. Tho remains were taken to Leo Mission cemetery and lie in Father Wilbur's lot. Al though the notice was brief, many old friends gathered to pay the last tributo of respect. We regret tho brevity of this notice written as the press waits for it. Excellent singing was rendered by tho choir, Miss Esther Hall, Miss Grace Liudsey, County Recorder Starr and City Marshal Ross. Beats Oregon for Wind. Stopping at Mrs. Hosford's ex cellent boarding house, is Mr. Samuel Hutchinson, of Fort Dodge, Iowa. After a Journal reporter heard him tell this incident it was deemed quito unnecessary to ask him whether he intended to pro long his three weeks stay lu this calm vale. In fact he said he was going back to sell his property and make Oregon his home. Ho believes he can tell some astonishing stories to hislowa neighbors aboutclimatc, fruit and grain, and ho docs not think that ho has been out West loner enouerh to have afi'ectcd his "character for truth aud veracity." But to tho iucident. Being asked if he had ever felt any of tho fear ful winds that Oregonians read about with wonder and Incredulity, he declared that ho had indeed, and gave as an instance his having once unhitched his team from a load of hay and put them iu tho barn when lie saw a coming storm, and ran for the, house. Directly the wind took up his hay and wagon and carried both about a quarter of a mile, aud never released them till they lodged against a stout fence. Mr. H. says many Iowans are read ing about Oregon and planning to come here. At the same house nro two gentlemen who only a month ago left Norway. They nro pleased with this valley and aro out looking for laud Thoy look llko the class of foreigners that make desirable citizens. Six Hundred Immigrants. Mr. Bollinger informs tho Joun 'NALthat Lafayette Hughes, who was so active In tho blue ribbon movemont In Oregon, has been for some time In the East telling the advantages of this stato and arrang ing to bring out an excursion of homo seekers. He writes that present indications point to his securing lu the neighborhood of six hundred. Ho expects to start from Palestine. 111., about tho Oth of Soptumber on ti special train. The intention is to come ou to Salem with those who dosiro to visit the Stato fair, the city and surround lugs. i'ropri UrUge Near Suyton. Tho Jodunal, learns that the county eommiseionurH received the largely elgnwl iwtitlon from Stay ton, Aumsvllle, Mehama, Turner nnd other pkoo in the southeastern part of the county, asking for a bridge over tlie tiautiam. But on account of the oxpenw Md the un certainty as to what Linn county will do In the matter, the wildeet goes over Mil next term of court, the nrst weex in eepiwiu'er. Btavtou folks will be apuu. Tlteii tlte heard from ChiltreH Cry lVPiteher's Castoria ABOUT EARTH CLOSETS. A Complete Deodorizer and Practic able for General Use. In any city that has no thorough system of sewage the question of cesspools Is always a perplexing one. Tho authorities at the stato houso and the managers of the sisters' schools are making some improve ments in this line. Rev. P. S. Knight lately remarked to a Journal representative that this matter was a difficult ouo to arrange at tho state School for deaf mutes, aud indeed nt any such lustutlon. In a degree the same troublo oc curs at hotels, schools aud even privato houses that aro continuously occupied. The opeu cesspools aro unavoidably oilenslve in spite of all attention to cleanlluess about the closets aud tho free uso of chlorldo of lime, carbolic acid aud other disin fectants. The emptying of them is a most loathsome job. After years, where houses stand close together, tho ground must becomo saturated with the most poisonous matter The gas that escapes is very detri mental to health, and the percola tion into wells often breeds typhoid and other fevers. It is strange that more attention has not been given to tho uso of earth closets. In country places, on farms where the closets are at some distance from tho houso nnd havo a free circulation of air, and where tho evils spoken of would bo at a minimum, you occasionally meet with primitive earth closets. But in towns thoy aro almost unknown. A professional man in this city has fitted up a very slmplo one in his otllce, by way of experiment, and is ell satisfied that it is a great im provement. Dry earth ucd in sufficient quantities is not only an absorbent of all moisture but so complete a deodorizer as to destroy all ofl'ensivo smells. These closets are so mado that tho receptacles can bo easily handled and aro so clean that a lady would find it a less disagreable task to empty them than to do ordinary chamber work. There is also no dilllculty In dispos ing of the contents as they aro ex cellent garden fertilizers notoll'enslvo to nuy of tho souses. The writer has lived where, properly erected and furnished, earth closets were in use, put up by builders. A hopper of dry earth supplied the deodorizing material aud tho opening aud closing of the lid of tho seat properly releases and distributes it as easily as in a water closet tho water from a tank la liberated. A large sum of money was mado by tho ineventor of that distributing apparatus. Tho subject is well worthy of consideration and It Is believed that it is not diillcult of general adoption. As It avoids open sinks of stench and sewer gas, or of water and drainago pipes that often get out of order, it would conduce to comfort, cleanliness and prevention of disease. Christian Science. . Mrs. E. DoPrans (of Portland) metaphysician and teacher of Christian Science, Is at Mrs. Rlely's on High street, where she will be glad to see all persons interested iu the Healing Power of Mind, an un derstanding of which cures tho so called incurable and enables every one to becomo his own physician. Through tho kindness of Mrs. Asa McCully, who has tendered tho use of her parlors, Mrs. DoPrans will hold an evening class during the week begluning thlsMonday) even ing at 7:45 o'clock. Privato in structions during tho day if dosired. Consultation free. 1-w. Tire Last Mgkt. Just after midnight the slumbor of Salem's citizens was suddenly disturbed by the vigorous ringing of tho fire bell, succeeded by three dis tinct taps to indicate that the con llagratlon was In tho third ward. The firemen wero very prompt iu turning out, and tho citiens in good numbers wore soon on hand to assist If needed. Tho ilro occurred over what Is known us GoorgeGoed's drugstore, now owned by Gibson & Singleton. Fortunatoly it was not under much headwuy, wlion Charley Hollenbraud having dis covered the flames iu mson, gave the warning linking tie Oregtn 1'actne. From Mr. G. P.
