VAI.UK OF THE I.OCAI. VAIT.K.
It ia u slnt'itlnr but unquestionable
,fact that even tlie most Bagaciotm
, nnd public spirited of the business
men in most communities do not
seem adequately to unprcc-liitu the
value of the local newspaper as
an agency of advancing the busi
ness interests and augmenting the
Importance of itho town or city
whero it is published. There are to
be found in every town a very con
siderable proportion of business men
who are ready togivo their tlnio and
labor to the organization and main
tenance of boards of trade, establish
ment of strcetndlways, cold stor
ages, railways, woolen mills, or any
other movemont for the attraction
of outside enterprise and capital,
and whom it is even not dillicult to
Induce to subscribe money lor the
establishment of promising enter
prises, but nevertheless contribute
little or nothing to a means of great
er importance and efilcieney in the
building up of their town-the sup
pjrt and Improvement sf its news
papers. Thcro i no question but that the
newspapers of any town or city may
bo made the most ell'ectivo possible
agoney In its development and
prosperity. The ell'orts and Inllii
enco of either individuals or organ!
tious arc- at best but spasmodic and
transient, but the newspaper works
on steadily and incessantly. The
individual agitator reaches only a
comparatively limited field of oppor
tunity only those to whom the
particular ellbrt may be extended
hut the newspaper reaches out in
every direction and carries IIh intlu
once to hosts of unknown and un
suspected watchers of opportuni
ties. Among shrewd, Intelligent men
of uHairsthe character of n commun
ity Is measured more by the stan
dard of its newspapers than perhaps
by any other slnglo indication.
With allttlcobservatlon and expe
rience a remarkably just estimate of
the characteristics of n town may bo
reached by an Inspection of its news
papers. If the community is a live,
pushing, liberal one, tho colunnm of
Its newspapers will bo found crowd
ed with tho advertisements of Its
mercantile and professional men.
If these announcements arc absent
the- Investigator will naturally set
tho town down as containing a slow,
mmnibltloiiH, I unprogrosslvo ' com
munity. And without such sup
port in a liberal measure no news
paper tun do Justice 'either to Its
town or to tho ambition of Its publisher-.
It is quite safe to assert a nows
mwr is rarely found inadequately
representing tho consequence and
enterprise of Its community. Tho
oasos are exceptional Indeed In
which a community deserves bettor
newspapers than It possesses, or In
which tho local newspapers do not
ilattoriugly reflect theactual charac
ter of the community. Hut to do
this thus to Indulge a laudable
spirit of local pride they aro very
commonly compelled to make pe
cuniary contributions to tho public
j;oou far exceeding in volume what
niluht rcHhonably bo expected by
them at tho hands of scorou of busi
nessmen who seem to fool that they
have done all that U Incumbent up
on them as puhlle-splrlteil members
of tho community Ifthoy give tho
papi-rUio bupjwrt of a more- huo
xoripUon, In sumettsea not oven so
muoli na own a hubtsorlptlon.
It is a popular but palpably falla
cious linprvMilon that newspapers
iirolust wlmt tholr publishers nnd
editors inuko thorn. T hoy two not; '
they are to n very great extent what
the business community where they
arc published makes them. They
represent the character and merits
of the community far moro exactly
, than they do the energy and enter
prise 6f(their publishers, or the abili
ty andambltion of their editors. It
is within tho power of tho business
men of any community to push
their newspapers forward to a stand
ard impossible of attainment by any
clTort of the publisher without
their co-operation and in no other
direction can an enual measure of
ellort and expenditure bo applied
with anything like equal effect in
advancing tho Interests, not only of
the community at largo but of-the
individual business man himself.
NIAV STATUS.
The bill admitting tho territories
of Dakota, 'Montana, New Mexico,
Idaho and Washington, has passed
tho House and in all probability
will, at an early day, pass the Sen
ate and become a law. Six new
sisters at one time ia quite an addi

"May day Beans to bo a 'day for peculiar
superstitions," said one Qf U&nta'' cSun'm
ing young ladies to a reporter. 'tJ3iliSaf
day 1 was passing al'on' rjpring strict when
1 noticed a crowd of riegroea standing around
an old welL As some Of them wore rushing
around the yard In on excited manner, and
one woman bad ber apron up to her face,
crying, and n man was holding a looking
glass so as to throw the light into the well, 1
naturally supposed that some of the numer
ous pickaninnies had fallen in. Upon investi
gation 1 found that they were only having a
little innocent fun, though they seemed to be
enjoying If in a very grim sort of way
They were us'mg tho glass With the firm be
lief that tlio imago they saw reflected would
bo a likeness of their future wife or husband,
as tho cae might bo.
"All seemed to believe Implicitly that
something btrango and supernatural was go
ing to take place, and they worked thorn
selves up to a very high state of exfcitement
Presently an old woman, n regular old crone,
exclaimed l-onlf look' I 'clar fo' de Lord
1 see a oman laid out aim two men Kneeling
on each sale of tie rotllii, and bit looks like
my Mandy what died lft spring.' The
negroes nil swim-d awestruck and proceeded
to go into hysterics. A mulatto girl next
took tho glass ard after patient waiting on
ber part nnd anxious silence from the others
she declared xbe haw tho best looking old
gemm blie ever hot her ees on, an' ho had on
a white vest and a blue necktie. She was so
entranced that she did not want to give up
tho glass to tho many who now grabbed
for it
"Well, a big, burly man got It. Presently
a broad grin illuminated the surrounding
darkness' of bis swarthy countenance, and
with a loud guffaw he declared that be saw
'stripes broad, black nnd white stripes and
them's for that nigger Tom, tbero, what
stole dem chickens lost night.' But when
they all exclaimed with ouo voice tout what
ever was seen that it won meant for tho one
holding the glass, be turned as palo as he
knew how. dropped the glass and hurriedly

Snrvunta In German Families.
In Germany it makes no difference to a
uoblemao whether you own a shop or aro
merely employed in one. In both cases you
work, and that Is sufficient. Tho eilectof
this is that the German shopkeeper and
man of middle class does not keep his
( lerks and servants at half tho distance
that his American oont rei e does. An Amen
.-an shopkeeper lives In aline house and walks
ilHjuu his 'emporium of fashion" as haugh
nl) as a czar. If his wife or daughter honor
tut plane at all it is wben they want a new
.liijss or a check frou papa. In France or
lii'imauy tho same class of shopkeeper lives
ii the room over his shop, and in all proba
bility has his wife keep bis books and bis
daughter wait at the counter At night,
'vheu the bouso is put to rights, the house
maid will come into tut. family sitting room,
and while knitting listen to her employer
road his papers or chat with tho family Bho
is not kept in a back room in the attic nor
thron entirely od her own resources for
amusement.
Hence the Germans and French do not ex
perience that dilllculty In securing capable
domestic help which most American bouse-'
wives too often encounter They bring their
customs, more or less, to this country, and
in American cities the llrst to get good house
servants and the last to lose them aro not
American but German and French families.
Tune was. in Now England at any rate,
when house girls were not called servants
and were not treated us machine!; out of
whlcb was to bo gotten all the work possibla
They used to say "help" ip New England,
and when the "help" had (hushed her duties
she not seldom rolled down her sleeves and
took tier seat at thi tahl along with the fam
ily That custom Is no longer In vogue, ex
cept erhaps now and then in tho country,
or in very small towns, and as a result it is
now as hard to get house help in Now Eng
land as in any other part of tho country.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.
The Capitol Adventure Co. was
incorporated in March, 188G. Their
principal business house and office
are In the Opera House, double cor
ner on Court and Liberty streets,
Salem. They do a general merchan
dise business, and in connection do
an auctioneering and commission
business, buy and sell real estate,
cattle, horses and also act as ap
praisers, administrators, assignees
and accountants. They have ex
perienced help that are competent
to act in all the above capacities on
short notice, The best of references
can be given as required, and bonds
to any amount necessary. They have
given the best of satisfaction as ap
praisers and assignees.
The Capitol Adventure Co. have,
for the short time they have been
in business, shown to the public that
they are doing a legitimate business,
worthy of their patronage. Among
their patrons you will find the best
farmers, who exchange their pro
ducts to them for their wares; the
mechanics and laborers, who know
the value of a dollar, and where to
invest it; also the refined and tal
ented people go there for their
elegant wares. The immigrants soon
find themselves to home at the
opera house corner, for the reason
that tholCapitol Adventure Co. sell
from ten to twenty-five per cent,
cbeariprtlinn nnv otbor hnu-e in the
state, for the following reasens:
First, They buy from first hands
in largo quantities. They save the
profits of tho middlo men. They
save in freight. They also have the
advantage of buying bankrupt
stocks, nnd also very often reliable
merchants who are pushed forfunds
sell them the best of goods at twenty
to thirty per cent, discount fur cash.
Second, They have leased the
elegant Opera House building for a
long time for almost nominal rent.
They have tho most commodious
and best lighted store rooms In the
city. They carry a full and com
plete stock of dry gooda, clothing,
hats, boots and shoes, ladies' and
gents, furnishing goods, jewelry and
silverware, notions, stationery and
cutlery, groceries, in fact a general
variety such as are usually kept in a
first class store. Tho Capitol Ad
venture Co. is about the only firm
in Salem that tries to command the
farmers' trade by buying all their
merchantable products, and they re
tail the farmers' products the same
prices they pay, thus saving to
the mechanics and laborers from
ten to twenty percent, for the real
necessuries of life. Therefore the
Capitol Adventure Co. asks for the
continuance of the public's patron
age. You will find them nt the
Opera House corner, Court and
Liberty streets, Salem, Oregon.
