of Oregon. It began business in March, 18S8, with a capital
stock of $20,000.
The First Sale Made By This
During tho nine months which have since elapsed it has made 107 sales
tp 104 different persons. Of the purchasers 85 have bought farming lands.
It has also, during this time sold 61 residence lots in Salem. Of those
purchasing but 25 were residents of Marion county prior to purchasing.
The remainder were from the following localities, viz: Jackson Co. 1

This shows that sales are not confined to former residents of this local

Two Cabinet Items.
Washington, Feb 10. Senator
Plumb has sprung Into prominenco
as a prospective cabinet officer.
Secretary of theTreasuryMr. Plumb
discretely keeps his own counsel,
but some of his closest frieuds havo
been talking, which accounts for
thomatter having gotten out. Sen
ator Iugalls, in reply to a question,
said that ho did not know whether
General Harrison had made such an
oil'er to Senator Plumb, but ho
doubted very much whether Mr.
Plumb would accept it if it were
made.
Representative Thomas of Illinois
will no doubt be tho next secretary
of tho navy. Mr. Thomas is a
member of tho House committee on
naval affuirs, and is tho designer of
what naval officers consider to be
one ot the best plans yet submitted
for an armored cruiser. Those who
know Mr. Thomas best, think that
ho will make a model secretary of
tho navy, aud that no better man
could havo been found to superin
tend tho building of the new navy.
Sewell and Samoa,
Washington, FlOcb. .Secretary
Bayard again put his foot in it. Ho
forced Mr. Sewell, U. S. Consul
General to Samoa, to resigu because
that official gave tho foreign com
mittees oi me nouse and senate a
true statement of affairs in thoso
islands a statement that was neccs
rarily uncomplimentary to tho
State department. Tho removal of
Mr. Sewell at this time is regarded
as particularly unfortunate, because
it will appear to the natives of tho
islands as though it was done
through fear of GermimVt and as a
rebuke to him for bravely insisting
on American rights. So strong
does tliis view of tho case 'strike Sen
ator Frye that ho says if ho has any
influence with tho next administra
tion Sewell shall go back to Samoa
as consul general.
a Murder Tragedy.
Mason, City, la., Feb. 18. Mea

less.
Mtunley Dead Again.
Paris, Feb, 18. A correspondence

J. Valentine, of the Wells-Fargo Ex
press company returned yesterday

unusual growth oftho country tho
wonderful improvements.
