Tear drowlie In Oregon.
J. J. Harden, an experienced hor
ticulturists of Marion county says
pear trees in the Willamette valley
begin to bear in three or four years
after being transplanted into the
orchard row, and although there is
not always an abundant, or even a.
profitable, crop, still there has been
Bomo fruit every year since the first
trees planted began to bear. One
man can cultivate and care for an
orchard of 20 acres, but of course
will require help in harvesting.
Twenty acres in pears properly culti
vated will yield an annual profit of
of $2000. The mining regions and
blight stricken territory farther East
furnish a demand for all possible
supplies. Through the Influence of
land agents and interested parties
the Btrauger Is liable to be disap
pointed, for a large portion of the
land in the valley is not adapted to
the profitable production of pears.
Brother Hell Not Suspended.
When Governor Pennoyer ap
pointed the railroad commission ho
also appointed Rev. J. B. Bell as
secretary, and when last Wednes
day he dismissed the commissioners
ho did not dismiss the seeretury.
This leaves Brother Bell occupying
an honorary position, viz: the sec
retaryship of a defunct commission.
As the secretary was appointed by
the governor and has had no inti
mation that his services were no
longer required ho will continue to
fill the vacuum and draw his salary
of $2000 a year at least until in re
ceipt of advice on the matter.
How Wc Are looming
The Baleni real estate agents are
calling tho attention of eastern peo
ple to this particular section of coun
try to an extent novcr beforo done.
They aro advertising in hundreds of
eastern papers, besides sending out
thousands of pamphlets descriptive
of tho country. That extra good
times for this mlddlo Willamette
valley aro in tho near future wo
vorily believe. Already scores of
new people from tho frozen regions
nro hero inspecting our goodly land.

Tho Overland train from Califor

Another Addition to Sleui.
Earl's Addition to Salem Is spring
ing Into prominence since there Is so
much aotlvlty In real estate circles.
This Is an attractive tract of forty
aervs lyluir over tho river to the

AVERY AND T1IE LUNATIC.
No Doubt That the Insane Man Did
Tho Firing.
In his guarded cell In the Oregon
Insane Asylum, Frank Corea, the
lunatic and would-be murdere and
Biilcide, walks tho floor and tells the
talo of his rash deeds. His story
meets with ample coroborration and
and there can no longer bo a doubt
but the bullets that pierced Frank
A. Avery flew from the pistol of the
maniac.
Late on the night of the assassi
nation Corea stopped at tho resi
dence of F. E. Fldridge, on the Sa
lem and Champoeg road. Here he
recited tho story minutely and cor
rectly. He told of tho two men
Avery and McKay, he of the blondo
iTiiistache fluarrellmr over a wom
an and threatening him with a ter
rible fate. To save himself, as ho
supposed tho shooting was done.
He told Mr. Eldrldgo ho knew ho
got his man once, having shot him
in tho neck. He BayB he fired five
shots. Three struck Avery and two
left their marks on the car.
When arrested Corea had an un
expired ticket to San Francisco, In
his pocket. It bore the punch mark
of conductor Wilson, under whoso
charge tho Tuesday night's train
was.
There Is no reasonable doubt but
that Corea Is the guilty ono, and it
also Is as certain that Avery is con
cealing not a little. If he would
talk but no clam ever kept more
tightly closed than tho wounded
man.

A ICigld Quarantine.
Forest Grove won't stand any
foolishness where smallpox is con
cerned, and have established a strict
quarantine. It Is learned that so
thoroughly are they afraid of tho
disease, that besides allowing no one
to pass the block In which tho pa
tient Is located, the guards are au
thorized to shoot every animal that
chances to get to close to tho house.
Since tho quarantine was inatigurted
a number of fine dogs and cats havo
boon ruthlessly shot down and sent
to tho unknown country where the
mourndoodlo wnngeth and smallpox
tronbleth not.
Almost a Suicide.
Late Saturday night tho alarm

THE LEGISLATURE.
Both IIou$es Re-Assenble This Afternoon
And Go To Work.
Speaker Smith Makes His Appoint

0UU PEN PICTURES.
Short Sketches of Our Law Makers
And Prominent Men.
A soeclal feature of the Capital
Journal in the future will bo that
of life-like pen pictures of prominent
men of tho state. Beginning with
this issue our sketch artist has
leveled his camera upon the visages
of some of Oregon's legislators and
their likenesses will from day to
day be placed in cold type for the
edification of our numerous readers.
In his delineations of traits and
characteristics it is one of tho re
quirements that the man to be
photographed should submit
to the interview process. This
our artist performs without pain
and each member will be given a
trial at the other end of the pump.
To-day we take pleasure lu sub
mitting the follewing:
HON. E. n. GAMBEE.
Mr. Gambee comes from Umatilla
countv. and Is serving his first term
In the House of Representatives.
Ho is a native of Michigan, and
came west seven years ago, and af
ter looking around decided to cast
his lot in Oregon, where he has re
sided over since. He is an exten
sive sheep dealer and quite an In
fluential citizen. Mr. Gam boo is
very courteous to strangers seeking
Information at tho Capitol and is an
earnest worker. He can be found at
his desk at any time. Mr. Gambee
is classed among tho younger mem
bers, being only thirty-six years of
age. Ho is a member of the demo
cratic nine in the House, there be
ing but that number of democrats
hi tho House. His postolllce address
Is Alba.
HON. II. I. NAPTON.
Mr. Napton halls from Saline
county, Missouri, and is serving his
first term as representative for the
good people of Malheur county. He
is a prominent lawyer and has a
very creditable practice. Mr. Nap
ton's postolllce address is Yale. He
is another ono of tho representatives
classed In the "thirties," being thirty-three
years of age. Mr. Napton
belongs to the "reform party" or,
plainly speaking, tho democratic
party. He looks forward with
anxiety to the year of '02 whon tlio
great contest will again bo renewed
by tho two parties for the control of
tho nation, and feels that there may
again bo a possible show for democ
racy to hold tho reins of our gov
ernment, although Mr. Napton Is
not ono of thoso r.ullcal politicians.
Wo hope to seo him return again to
Borvo tho people but would bo bet
ter pleased to have him return a full
fledged republican.
Dou't be Fooled.
There aro men traveling tho
country with samples of cloth, for
making suits lo order, who claim
that they make suits In San Fran
cisco and tho oast cheaper than As
toria tailors can. There aro mer
chants who receive samples of cloth
from eastern manufacturers, and
claims to tako the measure of any
ono nnd have suits mado In tho cast.
This Is an untruth. Tho samples
shown, aro samples of ready mado
suits, mado by Chlnumeu. They
tako your measure, you select your
oloth, nnd thoy send you a ready
China mado suit from the east,
claiming it to havo boon made to
order. Dou't be deceived by any
such nonscuse. If you want a suit
made to order, patronize homo tail
ors. If you want n ready made suit
lnmo firms keep all tho latest
styles and soil cheaper than any out
side stores. A merchant of Astoria
stated recently that tho merchants
who advertise must charge moro for
their goads than he did, who does
not advertise. This is not true. Tho
merchant who advertises, soils ten
suits to his one, and keeps a fresh
stock. Ho can afford to Bell for a
less profit than tho merchaut who
only gets a stock of goods in once a
year, uud sells on an average on
suit n week. Pioneer.

at Oregon City In tho near future.

Improvements, placed on the same.

Now that tho scheme to establish
a creamery at Corvallis has fallen
through with, would it not be well
to agitate tho organization of such a
company here.
Miss Ida Anderson of Jefferson

week, accompanied by her sister,
Miss Emma, who is attending scnooi
at tho University.
