San Francisco Star. A Negro Mathematician. Sara Summers, tho nogro prodigy, was in town recently, and, as usual, entertained a largo crowd, who wero testing him with all kinds of mathematical preblems: Summers is a negro 84 years old, without tho slightest education.

McMinnville Wants a Railroad to the Sea, and Slio Will Have It. Wnke Up and Work Yonr Jaws. Tho McMinnville Telephone Reg ister says the railroad meeting held In tho opera houso Monday night was very enthusiastic and was well attended. A delegation of Salem people was In attendance and helped tho ball along. They were some of Salem's substantial business men and are pushing the scheme. Every body knows them; they were: E. M.Woite, B. S. Cook. E. B. Mc Elroy, Squire Farrar, and H. W. Cottle. A. J. Apperson was elected chair man of the meeting, and J. L. Rog ers secretary. If the meeting is a criterion tho railroad will bo built, for tho people assembled, wore In favor of tho road, and all expressed themselves as willing to do every thing in their powe In order to get it. Speeches were made by the entire Salem delegation, Wm. Galloway, J. E. Magers, George Burnett, T. B. Merry, and others. Tho three passes through the mountains west of the city were discussed, and the Salem delegation expressed themselves that McMinn ville was the desirable point; pro vided however, that McMinnville will hold out a helping hard to Sa lem. ThO passes west of us have a higher altitude than tho Grand Rondo pass, and if McMinnville can nut up sufnoient coin to overcome tho weight of an easy pass the road will bo built; but on tho other hand if sho docs not. the road will not. bo built, and McMluuville will lose ono of tho greatest bcnellts ever brought to herattontlou, and rightly lose it. When this road is completed to tho sea there will be no other road built. Capitalists will not invest money In a road parallel with an other, and If McMinnville stirs her self slw will bo nti the only railroad to tho sea for years and years to come. Long-headed Tom Merry, tho old time newspaper man of thin state, stated in his speech that lie did not know of a fairer county than Yam hill nor a fairer town than McMinn ville, and prophesied that within five years, with tho railroad to tho sea, and tho Wlllamlua water ditch brought in, McMinnville would bo a manufacturing city of ten thousand inhabitants. Nature has surround ed Us with tho garden spot of tho world; wo aro already tho onvy of towns twice our size. Let us now make this city the envy of cities ten times our size Let us stand to gether and push this railroad scheme. Lot us mako this a city to bo proud of. Let us do everything in our power to demonstrate to the outside world that there is a beauti ful city in Yumhilll county by tho uamo of McMlnuvlllo, filled with progressive, euergetlc citizens, who through their own exertions in ado tho town. Lot us not ask outsldo capital to help us, but do it our selves and havo tho satisfaction of knowing that wo depond upon our own labor for success. Lot us build the railroad. Let us progress. Tho farmors of this vicinity should know tho benefit to be derived from a railroad to tho sea. Tho farmors ofLlun county aro now receiving six cents moro per bushel for their wheat than you aro. Why? Sim ply because tho O. P. road takes their wheat to deep water for that much less per bushel. Do you know that tho present freight rate from this city to Portland Is $2 per ton, whllo tho S. P. Co. is froichting Benton county wheat through this city to Portland for $1 per ton? Do you know the reason of this? It Is this. Another railroad competes at Corvallis for tho carrying of tho wheat. So you can easily see how you will bo benefitted by a com peting road to tho sea. Not only tho farmer will bo beuo- fitted, but every ono, manufacturers and business men as well as real es tate holders. On motion, tho chair nppolutcd tho following committee to ascertain the best paw through the moun tains and toopon up stock books of tho Salem, McMinnville, Astoria A. Eastern railroad, 8. A. Manning, Win. Galloway, Judge Loughary, Judge Cowls and Geo. W. Jones. Tho following resolutions were presented by J. C. Cooper and unanimously adepted: Resolved, That wo favor tho build iug of a railroad from Salem to Til lamook, via McMlnuvlllo, at tho earllcht possible time. Resolved, That wo call upon (ho pi'ojH'rty'liohlorH along this proponed route uipl give aid to tho enterprlK', Waller (to drown, on wIkmo bald head hu has J tut upset hi tray) HkiiMt me, bowil but the fact urn tint when a gciiminln furgeU o llpiht waller dlt tray tun Jut uro to do lipping tVrliliii.-'lVxim Hlfilng, To I w happy, limn imul not only mUl.tiiit llvi' Tillamook isJReady. Tillamook is all ready for tho Sa lem, Astoria & Eastern, as the fol lowing from tho Tillamook Watch tower would indicate: "Tho good people of Salem aro alive at last to their own interests nud clamor for an outlet to the sea. It docs make some difference whose ox is gored. We of Tillamook are now and have been very anxious for a railroad from Tillamook to Salem, but with all our efforts w could gain no sympathy from those outside. Now the matter has changed, at least in part. Wo of course, are justas anxious as over, while Salem is moro anxious than we are. Yet wo will find no fault with her but will join hands with her and help her to come marching to the sea through TilIamook,and in point of real fact we would bo pleas ed with a Salem connection. To be connected with the state capital is no bad investment; ana so wo will join the ranks as we go marching through Tlllomook." Of all royal personages, the Prince of Wales Is tho most noted for the enormous quantity of luggage which he causes to bo sent with him on his journeys. Ho takes whole boxes of hats and huge trunks of dress suits, morning suits and other changes. He makes a point, when visiting anywhere, of not being seou twice in the samo coat, and the variety of his garments is as as-. tonlsbing as the tailor's bill for them must bo long. AX rIiY DISCOVERY. A Report that Should lie Iteart. "A recent nnMvratlon In Philadelphia by a celebrated chcmUtof ten popular urauas of Borsapnrllla discloses tho astonishing fata that theso ten snmplcs of blood purifiers (?) contained la the ncgrcEnto eixlecn different minerals, eleven of which wero active poi sons.

A reporter took tho above clipping to E. W. Joy, tho manufacturer of Joy's Vegetable Sar saparilla. Mr. Joy exhibited no surprise. He raid druggists knew It. lie said ho long ago saw tho crying need for a safe and absolutely puro vcgetablo preparation of SarEaparilla, licuco his was named Joy's Vcgrtable Eartapa rllla, becauso It contained nothing but pure syrup of sarsaparilla, combined with tho pure Juices of California's vegetable alteratives.

HIGHLAND ADDITION m E RP Make le To tho city of Salem. They havo at this time fifteen teams employed and the contemplated improvements have ec ircely begun. It is intended to make the drive leading from Commercial street through Riverside and High land additions and around Highland Park THE FINEST DRIVE IN TUB STATE Of Oregon. The line of the Salem Street Railway Company runs through the middle of this addition, and no ots will be more than two blocks distant from the line. Highland Park will in the near future be THE MOST POPULAR RESORT ABOUT THE CITY OP SALEM. Lots in Highland Additon are High and Dry and Well Located; Most Excellent Drainage The soil is black and rich. From all points a fine view is obtained of the public buildings and our highest mountain peaks. Arrangements are already being made for the location of two churches in this addition, and a number of residences are soon to be built. Buildings only of the best class will be permitted. Residence lots within the limits of the city of Salem are worth on an average over $1000. We can sell you better lota in High land addition for one-third of the money, and being directly on the line of the street railway they are practi cally not half so far from the public buildings and tho business part of the town as the majority of the so called "ipside lots." Buy a Lot in Highland Addition for Three Hundred Dollars, And let some other fellow pay $1000 for an inferior lot not so well located. With the difference of $700 you can build a beautiful cottage, or put it out at a rate of interest that wtll buy you nearly two thousand streftfc car tickets every year.
