SALEM?

One would think to read tbo advertisements of some of the merchants
that this is a very poor place to do business In. Tbey are continually
SELLING OUT AT COST. How do tbo keep up? Are tbey supported
by charity, or are tbey and their advertisements frauds?
Hear the Truth !
Balem is a prosperous and growing city, and all its merchants are doing
well and making money, and any right-minded man knows that wlien a
a merchant advertises to sell "at cest," that it Is always at what it "costs
the buyer." Men do not go Into business for fun or for their health, but
to make money.
m
le Capitol Adventure Company
never advertise to sell off at cost, yet we are constantly 20 to 30 per cent,
lower than any other house in Salem. Why? Because we buy from first
hands and for cash, and get our goods cheaper. Now during the months
of January ar.d February only we propose to reduce our prices on all good
and show the people of Salem and the surrounding country how we can
SELL GOODS and not
"Sell at Cost"
Either, but actually make money at

BOLD JAIL DELIVERY.
Frank ' Byron and Saraenl Newton,
Two Prsoncrs Escape from ..
the County Jail.
Last evening abcut six o'clock
Frank Byron who answers to the
following descriptien: "Age 23 years,
bight ubout5 feet 9 inches, slight
ly stooped, weight 150 lbs., light
complexion, grayish-blue eyes, light
brown mustache, brown hair, beard
about one mouth's growth, had on
black felb bat, bluo coat, striped
pants, laced shoes, smokes cigarettes
freely, rather dudish," made his
escape from the county jail In com
pany with Samuel Newton, who is
described as follews: Samuel New
ton, about 30 years, bight 6 feet,
weight about 170 lbs., dark complex
ion, brown hair and mustache,
beard about three weeks' growth,
had on dark suit, dark lint, wore
boots.
The sheriff had had tho prisoners
out in tho rotunda carrying in wood
between live and six, and about six
o'clock or in about twenty minutes
after ho locked them in the jail, they
made good their escape by remov
ing a number of bricks from the
wall on the northeast side of the
prison. Tho hole excavated is about
eighteen inches in width and some
two feet long. A small chisel was
found with which the two escaped
prisoners succeeded in doing their
work. They had not made their
escape ten minutes until the same
was discovered by tho watchman,
Allen Rhodes, and an alarm was at
once given and the escape of the
other four prisoners was frustrated.
The sheriff is almost certain that
Byron was furnished the chisel by a
friend, aud serious rumor are rife.
Men are out now watching for the
fugitives, and there is no doubt but
they will bo brought to Justice be
fore many hours. Tbo sheriff ljas
offered a reward of $100 for their
arrest and will leave nothing un
turned to return the dure devils to
justlco.
Byron was committed to tho Jail
during the latter part of September
for tapping tho monoy safe of Minto
& Low, and it bus since been learn
ed that he committed various other
crimes. He has made himself quite
conspicuous and has almost proven
himself a confirmed criminal.
Newton was sent from Jefferson,
awaiting the action of tbo grand
jury on u churgo of larceny.

purpose of placing upon tho market
within the reach of persons of small

Valley; and Is engaged in selling
city property, farming, stock, and
fruit lands. Tho company was
formeilupon the supposition gener
ally obtained by people wlio have
visited tho Willamette Valley that
the Willamette Valley Is destined to
bo thu most densely populated of all
equal areas in the United States and
thut the large tracts of land would
In tho near futuro be subdivided
lutofmall tracts and bo utilized for
the production of deciduous fruits
for wliich it is especially adapted.
Numerous lurgo tracts have been
bought and subdivided aud sold
and arc being let out to fruits.
There is nt the present time no
equul opportunity for heople of small
means to Invest their capital and
make the most out of it and their
labor. Ten acres of fruit land will
produce a larger income than half a

ern states with very much less cap
ital invested and less labor employed
and with a greater degree of "cer
tainity. The Oregon Land company now

CLARK. At tho family resldonco
lu South Salem, Monday morning,
Jan. 27, 1890, Mrs. S. A. Clark, or
influenza, aged 57 years 9 months
and 27 days.
Tho whole city will bo thrown In
a state of sadness to learn of the sud
den death of Mrs. 8. A. Clark, a
lady whoso familiar face basso long
b-jen known lu Salem. Her death
was entirely unexpected, few indeed
wcro awaro of the fact that sno was
ill. About a week ago she was at
tactcd with tho Influenza and all
tho severe symptoms were manifes
ted. She received tho best of care
and whilo sbo was suffering much
yet her case was not consid
ered dangerous. Last oveuiug
however n change for tho worse
came oh nudshortly after midnight,
tho kiud and tender mother, the
beloved woman passed peacefully
over that river of death.
Miss Harriet Tulcott was tho
daughter of Geo. T. and Lavina L.
Buckingham. She wus boru at Nor
walt, Ohlo.on March 31st, 1832. riho
crossed the plains in 1851 in com
pany with tho Cooko party,
aud among tho number wcro Mr.
und Mrs. E. N. Cooke, Mr. und Mrs.
Hiram Smith, Mr. Jos. Cook, of this
city und Mr. T-MoF Pulton. Tho
party left Ohio in February and ar
rived in Portland In tho following
October.
On tho 23d, day of February, 1852,
she was married to Mr. S. A. Clark,
by Rev. Mr. Lay mam a well known
person to all old pioneers. After
their marriage tbey resided in Port
land for several mouth and then
moved to Salem. Tbo spring suc
ceeding their marriage, Mr. Clark
took up a claim about six miles
southeast of the city and they
moved onto tho claim and suffered
many hardships and privations.
They returned to Salem about tho
year 1838 and havo resided here
ever since, being absent froni. the
city only on a few short health Trips.
Mr3r3lurk leaves a devuted li'us
.band, S. A. Clark; a dutiful son,
Wm. J., nnd two loving daughters,
Mrs. N. H. Looney, of Jcfierson,
and Mrs. W. J. Dyer, of Ellensburg,
Wash., to mourn her death. No
words can express the utter loneli
ness lu tho bereft household. No
amount of well Intended sympathy,
no words of consolation can heal
the wounded, bleeding hearts of tho
bereft relatives. Time will not ob
literate tho tender, endearing ties of
affection thut only admiring friends
can feel and realize. Tho vacancy
created in this city by tho death
of Mrs Clark cannot bo supplied
well. She has flguered prominent
in all tho promotions fending for the
elevation of society socials. Was n
devoted christian, a member of the
Congregational church, and her
kindness was one of her sneclal
forts. Her sympathy for dumb
brutes, birds, und animals of all
kinds was a wonder to all her
friends. She was a woman of rare
literary talent and bus boon a liberal
contributor to the press of Oregon.
Tho remembrance of this grand
woman whom Sulcm has lost in
deutli will over romuiu green in
the memory of her many friends.
