For I'abllc Health.
Citizens justly complain of tho
llltby condition of several alleys and
parts of streets. There is too much
carelessness on the part of some in
dumping refuse of business houses
into alleys. As no hogs run nt
large wo must be our own scavengers.
How do you think it Impresses a
stranger to see ponds of green, slime
covered water right along some of
our busiest pavements? Yet there
are such. Let all the waters bo
drained off. One small pond of the
kind has served to give disease to a
whole neighborhood. As so many
tens of thousands of visitors are now
coming it is well to brush up and
put our best foot foremost.
w
Go to that meeting to-night. We
are assured of tho mill when we
raise $20,000.
Fooled toe Jailer.
Shackelford, tho venerable horse
doctor is perhaps as big a nuisance
as is permitted to inhale pure ozone.
Yesterday evening he tried to have
the idea gain circulation that he had
madoa desperate attempt to com
mit suicide. When ho was called to
come and receive his rations the
jailer's gaze met Shackelford's pros
trato form across tho bed. Tho old
fraud was feigning death. His eyes
rolled in their sockets and his
breath came quick and fast. He
palmed insensibility. Medical aid
was called and a hot emetic mado a
lively corpse out of the old villain.
Turn out everybody and tho mill
will bo ours.
One More .New Enterprise.
An advertisement in another col
umn announces that at an early day
Salem will have a llrst class business
college. Tho facts have been in tho
possession of tho Jouunai, for a good
many weeks, but tho principals re
quested silenco on our part. The
school will open under most favor
able auspices with men of acknowl
edged ability at tho head. Wc
bespeak success for tho new college,
hi it will occupy afield heretofore un
touched. It will bo a grand victory,
on mills for Salem.

" ISome Newspaper Legislation.
Those nowspaycrs which have
been raising a howl becauso of thero
being no newspaper legislation pro
posed will brcatho easy when they
hear of n bill introduced which pro
vides some protection for tho "vol
untary sending of nowspapers." If
they will only protect tho publishers
a little now, it will bo all right.
This is tho night of the woolen
mill meeting.

TO BUILD A WOOLEN MILL.
This is tho Night For tho Dig Citi
zens' Meeting.
To-night at the council chamber
will be held the joint meeting of the
citizens of Salem and tho Board of
Trade. This meeting is for the pur
pose of considering and making a
final disposition of tho proposition
to establish a woolen mill in Salem.
A full attendance is desired, as the
action of to-night's meeting will
perhaps settle, for weal or woe, the
great question. Whether or not we
are to have a woolen mill will be
known very soon. If the citizens
say wo shall have it and follow their
words with good hard coin, an ex
tensive manufactory will ."be con
structed at once. Mr. Kay is
awaiting our decision, ready to start
for London to purchase machinery
of tho latest and most complete de
sign. Salem will have a woolen mill, or
we have misjudged her citizens.
Let the good work go on.
"This is the night tnat makes us
or undoes us quite." Add your
mite and the mills will be ours.
Lots or Letters.
The Portland board of Imigration
reports that It receives about two
thousand letters of inquiry per
month. Kansas heads the list of in
quiring souls seeking pecuniary or
physical salvation. Then follow
Nebraska, Illinois and so on. Tho
printed matter sent out by the board
last month exclusive of leaflets con
sisted of nearly one hundred thous
and largo illustrated periodicals such
as the Northwest, New Empire, Tho
Portland, etc. The arrivals for Jan
uary are surprising, being nearly
nine times more than for January
1888. Calculating by every rule
used In the post and which thier ex
perience has proved to bo correct it
gives a product that is too astonisn
ing for belief. And yet, if tho rules
hold good, some eight hundred
thousand souls will try to find
homes in Oregon this year.
l More llevlval Work.
Messers Studd and Burke, who so
ably assisted in tho Moody meetings
in this city recently, havo returned
and will begin a series of meetings
this evening, the first being conduct
ed in tho Presbyterian church.
These gentlemen have lust closed
successful meetings at Portland and
East Portland and return to us with
victory written upon their banners.
They aro young men and full of
push. They aro eager and anxious
to gti'do tho wanderer home and are
devoted to their chosen labors.
Thoy aro recently from London,
whero thov occupy stations otrank.
It is said, and by thoso who ought to
know, that theso gentleman are de
fraying their own expenses on this
tour of evangelization, they being
amply ablo to do tho same, and it
being through choice.
Not Alone In tbe Matter.
A gentleman remarked to a Jour
nal, reporter yesterday that a curi
ous thing about tho body of legisla
tors ofJOregonl wusj that nearly
two-thirds or more of the members
were born outside of tho state.
While tho above is truo we aro not
alono in tho matter as of tho one
hundred and ninty eight members
of the great state of Illinois over one
hundred and twenty-eight of them
were born in some other state.
Almost a Fire.
About eight o'clock last evening
tho citizens living on North Front
streetcamo near witnessing a fire.
Tho chimney of Mr. Bareudrick's
house caught on fire and caused con
siderable alarm, and drew quite a
crowd out to light tho fiery flames
should thoy havo broken out. How
over tho flames woro extlngul
easily and the lira companies
not jailled out.

THE SALEM ICE FACTORY.
The Machinery For a Largo Plant
Has Been Shipped.
Some weeks ago Wm. B. Bushnel,
a prominent New York capitalist
and locator Of lco manufactories and
cold storages, paid Salem a visit and
decided to establish extensive ice
works here. He viewed tho city
carefully and critically and made all
arrangements and expected to bo
ready for manufacturing ico by
tho 13th of March. Ho is also
locating works at Seattle and Ta
coma. H. W. Cottle is in communication
with Mr. Bushnell, who is now in
Chicago, and from him it is learned
that machinery lor the Salem factory
was shipped from Chicago four days
ago and is expected to arrive here
next week. Tho plant shipped to
this city is one of seven ton capac
ity. With It were shipped two
larger ones, for Seattle and Taconia.
The manager of the Seattle branch
passed through hero a fow days ago
and when seen at the depot by Mr.
Cottle, said that Mr. Bushnell would
be here soon, when tho plant would
be located and the work of construct
ing suitable buildings commenced.
It is proposed to make Salem the
general distributing point for terri
tory south as far as Ashland and
north to Oregon City.
Excelsior Entertainment.
Last evening the opera house was
filled with an appreciative audience,
collected to listen to the fine pro
gram arranged by the Christian
church. When all was so excellent
it would seem unjust to make dis
tinctions, but we must say that tho
ladies taking part were particularly
happy in their efforts to please.
Miss Parrish, in her beautiful solo,
"Marguerite," carried heraudienco
captivo. Miss Scriber proved her
self a trained elocutionist. The
"Little Farm well Tilled," was
rapturously applauded also the
Irish song in answer to an encore.
In fact tho entertainment through
out was of a highorder and reflects
much credit on all taking part, and
met with tho generous patronage it
deserved.
