"Will you take a ride ?" said Mr.
J. H. Albert, cashier of the Capital
National bank, as ho drove up to
the JouitNAL ofllce, on his way
home, last evening. As the writer
had for some time intended to go
and see the many improvements iu
tho University addition to Salem,
the offer was accepted without
parley. Suftlclcnt that escapes the
personal observation of many of our
readers is deemed worthy of a place
in this paper that is designed to
Keep uie puonc posieu on tno pro
gress of the city and its surroudiugs.
The addition is 40 acres in
extent, on the southeast of town,
reaching from Summer street, where
the long bridge creases the creek on
the west, to 12th street, almost to
the railroad depot, on the east, and
from Mill jstrect on the north to tho
county road that runs from the rail
road past tlie deaf mute school on
tho south. On account of the creek
and the trees it looks like a retired
suburb, while it is really a part of
town, though so situated as to be
virtually rural. A year ago there
was not a house upon it with the
exception of some of those fronting
on Mill street. Now there are a
number. Mr. Albert's fine house
was moved from the corner of Court
and Summer, where Mr. Krausse's
handsome villa is now helm built.
Ho has raised it, put a basement
with a heater under it, with a register
and ventilator in each room, re
arranged and improved the interior
and tastefully repainted tho exterior.
His garden and orchard arc going
to bo very choice. In various por
tions he has put out GOO fruit trees.
In a finely sheltered spot near the
house can be seen growing a number
of trees from California. One s an
orange tree of the Mediterranean

writer has seen Rearing ripe fruit In
California when only two "years old

persimmon, nlctarlne, almond,
apricot, pomegranate, peach, plum
and prune trees making a wonder
fully vigorous growth, notwith
standing that most were planted in
the gravel wjthout. even ploughing
the land. The fruit on such land
is sure to be very sweet. One of the
bradshaw yearling plum trees, this
first season, bore two well developed
specimens of fruit.
A large collection of roses in full
bloom were iu Indiana a few mouths
ago. Watermelons and nnjskfnelpns
nave ueen pienuiui an me season
and still abound. Corn stands
higher than you can reach, furnish
ing "roasting ears" from early sum
mer till frost shall come. Tho ground
being gravely and naturally well
drained is free from mud and dust,
and garden conies very early. Peas
were gathered on tho 9th of May,
aud, where Irrigated by tho creek,
others are now in bloom. Black
berries arc still ripening. As water
from the city works Is carried to
each lot, lawns and gardens are
kept fresh all through tho summer.
White clover, sown on the gravel
very late without any fertilizer, lias
set well. The creek at this driest
time of the year shows a steady ftpw
being fed by never foiling springs of
pure, cold water. Mr. Albert Is
clearing tho creek of all brush and
debris, and bringing witter from one
of the springs to his house for do
mestic purposes.
Among the residences noted were
those of Rev. J. W. Harris, A. C.
Roberts, architect, (who will sell his
neat, tasty home aud build on his

possibly others.
Mr. T. G. Albert has replaced hte
residence that was burned some time
aco. bv a very cosy cottage. He has

Willamette University, after vhich
the addition Is named, the state
house, the court house, from the
towor of which the time of day can
be seen on a clear day, the churches
aud the handsome residences of Ex
Gov. Moody, Mrs. E. N. Cook, tho
Brcyman brothers, and other con
spicuous buildings. The attractive
now depot ou the Oregon and Cali
fornia railroad, from which trains
start for Portland and tho east, and
for California or Southern points,
twice a day in each direction, is very
accessible to all this property.
As others are contemplating build
ing In this addition it might bo well
to mention that tho lots arc large,
averaging about SOxlGO feet. That
some of them are particularly eligi
ble for homes, containing knolls,
splendid shade trees and occasion
ally the waters of the creek or a
spring. Good streets are laid out
through the property in various
directions.
Mr. Albert's prices are reasonable
and he gives exceedingly liberal
terms to purchasers who build ou his
lots, making installments as easy as
paying rent. He even assists some
of them in the matter of building tho
house, if desired. This is sure to bo
a very desirable and popular portion
of our state capital city. Go and
see it.

Talking about peaches, Mr. Benpit

that Mr. Crltchelow's horse became

Advocate, tho ofllcial organ of tho

wide range, but the doctor, both by
education and experience, is well
able to fill it. Tho Advocate is one

tho good people of Salem will regret
to have him lose his residence here.
He will go to his new duties next
