NO. 291. Wn 'PRlFHBjfill1 t f'-v ' la le Mat SALEM? tt in n J BormiH UiU l a One would think to read the ndvertisements of some of the merchants that this is a very poor place to do business In. They are continually CELLING OUT AT COST. How do the keep up? Are thoy supported by charity, or aro thoy and their advertisements frauds? Hear the Truth ! Salem la a prosperous and growing city, and all its merchants are doing well and making monoy, and any right-minded man knows that wnen 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 mako money. m Cai)itol Adventure le 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.

C Portland has been suffering the height of tho flood today. The Morrison bridge stands at noon today, but is in great danger. A 200 foot long warehouse from Oregon City came down last night. No trains In or out of tho city except over the N. P. Tho steel draw bridge shows signs of go ing down. Business is suspended and the business part of the city has 1 to 5 feet of water. BARIN GETS THE MARSllALBHIP. " Washington, D. C. Feb. O.Tue president has to-day appoiuted Louis T. Barln, of Oregon City U. S. Marshal for the district of Oregon. Mr. Barln has been active in Oregon politics as chairman of tho ltepub llcan State Central Committee. Tlioliridgo Question. A prominent real estate man haj these suggestions on the bridge question. "I see that some well-known men of tills city are In favor ot a toll bridge. It seems to me, that had I been treated .go well by fortune, I would feel more llko heading n large subscription to a free bridge than to talk about forming a stock company. Some of our capitalists, have, no doubt been benefitted in the sum of, thousands of dollars by the free bridge which lias just been destroyed by the raging torrent of the Willamette. It would certainly bo as becoiniug to at least advocate another free bridge." "It has been suggested that tho citizens might subscribe nil the necessary amount to construct tills bridge and make their subscription a loan to the city until after the next meeting of tho legislature, when arrange ments could be mado to voto bonds in asunicfimt amount to pay it all back, either with, or without inter est. It Is apparently tho desire to expend a sufficient amount to build a good steel bridge, and it would not be difficult to raise the amount. Marion county could double its ap propriation of the last biidge and not hurt anybody, Tho people of Polk county who have seen their land appreciate in value in tho ratio of two and three hundred per centum can be relied upqn to demand agood appropriation frdm that county, and the city of Salem" can vote 20,000 without waiting for the legislature to meet. This would leave the amount to be advanced by the citi zens very smnll and easy to raise. Why not consider this? Portland has a toll biidge. Go there and hear the kicking not among the stockholders of the bridge, but amotiffthe people wiio have to pay tho taxesand tolls on that struct my. Don't saddle Salem with a toll bridge. Let's rise above that. I am too much interested In Salem's future to see that." HOW NELL IT LOOKS. A View of tho City From tho Highland Addition Park. To the man who is interested in home property in and about Salem, the present condition of affairs will surely be a guide to enable him to make a prudent seleclion, that will alford him safety for a home, or security as an investment. Always full of that spirit of enter prise which seems to be abroad iu the land, the Oregon Land Co., are among the first to call attention to the merits of their highland park addition situated In North Salem, and a nice high and dry section overlooking the city, it is, too. It has stood the tests of the Hood, or any that is like ly to occur, in a mannertliat is high ly satisfactory to tho company, and that must gratify all who are inter ested in tho rapid extension of our subuibs Itis certain that there can be no .greater inducement to the erection of the best grade of im provements than the severe tents and prnotical demonstrations which this Hood has allorded. All this goes to show that iUat now is a better time to select lots and niuko investments, than ever befoie. To tills end tho Oregon land company runs a free car tu Highland 1'tuk addition, and many people arc going out to look at that desiiable pait of town. Dr. Minthorn and B. R.Cook have each built a line residence in this beautiful addition, and many other buildings are built and In course of construction. One irrent induce ment the Oregon land company has always held out to parties wisliiim to build houses, has been to furnish lalior to wormy persons; also to pro vide rthiterinl and other means where parties have shown a pro giepslvo disposition. Among other strong points claimed for Highland Park are the follewing: It has uniformly graded streets. It Is tho onlv renidenco portion having adjacent to it a park. The nark Is a beautiful urovo of native trees, with driveways and walks and rustic seats, with n well of good water. A museum of curiosities will be started there, with a temper ance refreshment stand. Eight residences aro being con structed or Just finished iu the ad dition, and us many as forty will bo put up this season. Tho Salem ritrct Hallway leading to the fairgrounds runs through the center of tlito addition, and regular trips are made, the cars connecting with all other parts of the city.

As wo go to press wo learn that at a meeting of capitalists this after noon $15,000 of the $20,000 required to secure the cannery was raised lu ten minutes. Who says Salem is disheartened? This city is just bc glulng to show her strength. Series of Meetings. Tho Mes sage says of W. F. Cowdeu, who is to assist iu a scries of meetings to be held nt the Christian church, be ginning next Sunday: "Bro. W. F. Cowdeu has been placed by the general Christian missionary con vention in supervisory charge of its work in tho great northwestern section of the United States, includ ing especially Washington, Oregon, tho Dakotas, Idaho and Nevada. Tills is a large diocese, but if any man is equal to the work, then wo need not hcsltato to endorse tho choice of the convention. Bro. C. is n man of rare gifts. With a robust and commanding physique, mcutal equl pment of rare and un usual character, apostolic zeal in be half of the spread of the gospel, and withal a deeply spiritual aud wholly consecrated life, it is not difficult to account for the wonderful success that has attended his niiuistry. For many years tho idolized pastor of largo churches in those great centres of influence: Lexington, Ky., and Alleghany City, Pa., ills experience is of the ripest and best." Rare Opportunity. When a full set of Dickens' works, bound in good cloth binding for seven dollars, as can bo had at Patton's, it is time to invest without more consideration I. O. O. F. Meeting. All mem bers of Olive Lodge No. 18, I. O. O. F., are requested to be present Sat urday evening, as special work will be in order. Visiting brethren are extended a cordial welcomo. DESTITUTION IN DAKOTA. Inhabitants mid Stock Slowly Starving to Death. Horon, S. Dak., Jan. 27. There are hundreds of people sitting in tho farm houses on these snow-covered plains, going mad from want. A correspondent vistcd many farmeis near Huron and reports that there is a pressing need for relief, as star vation Is staring hundreds of poor people in the face. One farmer who expressed the belief that ho was much better oH' than mauy others said: "We have something to eat, hominy aud a little pork. It won't last long and wo have to bo careful of tho coal, but tho worst Is the stock. We have not got a tiling to feed tho horses aud cattle. Can't sell them. Can't feed them. Stock Is going to die by tho thousands un less wo get something for them to eat. Wo won't havo horses to plough with In the spring. No seed to sow. I tell you it goes against tho gram to sec dumb cieatures suffer." Another one said: "Do you know the only help wo have had Is from tho railroad tho Northwestern? Thoy have brought coal to us for VI a ton, free of freight, and have dono it all winter. Even nt that price we have to economize coal. I tell you if It had not been for tho rail way company thousands of people would havo frozen to dea'h list week when tho thermometer wont down tb 40 degrees below zero. J. S. Oliver, superintendent of tho Dakota central division of the Chicago and Nortli western railway at Huron, eald; "That is all true that you have heard. People aro undoubtedly huffcriiig for necesparloB, but this road will heo that no ono freezes. It is to tho interest of tho company that the people stay here. They aro brave, and their picscnt condition is no fault of their own. The facts linvo not been adverted as ex tensively as they should havo been." Mr. Oliver, continuing said: "I I believe jou will find things still worso nortliwostof here. Gov. Mel lette has marked ulneteon counties as being iu need of relief, and tills county is, I think, mild to what Mime others are." Every lady appreciates tho Im portance of exercising tasto nnd judgment in tho selection of her wardrobe, so that whether alio pos tosses few or mauy dresses, they will bo of a quality that will wear well and retain their handsome ap pfimnce to (lie end. No mutter what station iu life, a black, tilk or jwitln dreH is conceded to ho the most becoming, elegant nnd, nt tho same time, serviceable dress a lady can potaess, besides being appro priate for all occasions. A daughter of Sec. Tracy and her mnul nt Washington were burned to death Wednesday. Tho Umpqua river nt Eoscbtirg, was higher thnn In VO years. Main street at Oregon City is a rushing river.
