The bill for u 100,000 postoilice building nt Salem, the capital of Oregon, has passed the senate, nnd Congressman Hermann says in a letter to the Jeurnal: Washington, D. C. Mar. 14, 'CO. Your very kind favor is at baud nnd I hasten to respond. As to the chances for a public building nt Sa lem, Oregon, permit me to bay that I am now more encouraged than ever with the prospect ahead of us. I have at no time lessened my cflort toward obtaining an appropriation for a suitable building at Salem. Tho great objection which lias con stantly confronted mo is as to the limited population and the nbsence of any U. S. district com tsor custom house. These, with the postofiico constitute the strong arguments for public building appropria tions. I speak from actual experi ence hero on the fioor of the houfce, and in remembrance of tho fate of public building bills which have been considered in my presence. We have occasionly made appropri ation lor towns where the sole pur pose of,the building was for a post office, and where there did not exist either a" court or custom house, but the population seldom, or never, to my recollection, was less than seven teen tnousand, aud where there were great manufacturing industries in the town. I never lost slght,how ever. of the strong point, in my opinion, as to Salem being the capi tal of the state, and as to the popu lous country immediately surround ing tho town itself. I bav.0 called upon somo of our friends in Salem to come to my rescue witli statistical information, without which I am very much crip pled in my efforts. During my last visit In Salem, and on a tour through and arouud tho suburbs, I bo camecouvinced in my own mind, from personal observation,that there weie at least 17,000 people residing within the postolfico delivery of Salem. 1 suggested to our friends it they concurred in this view to see that I had somo testimonials to this efiect from the bonrd of trade, chain her of commerce, or municipality of Salem. I especially desire a strong communication from tho mayor of the city, giviuga detailed state ment of thearea covered by the city, of the great public state buildings already suostantialiy in the city, of the miles of street railways, of the electric lights, and other conven iences, nnd with it a reference to tho actual postoflice receipts, the letter-carrier system, etc., etc. I recently telegraphed our friends to hasten this information. I ad dressed the sub-committee on pub lic buildings and grounds yesterday and made use of such data as iy own knowledge nnd personal ob servation of the situation would warrant, and submitted the Janu ary number of the Salem papers in further proof, i am glad to an nounce that tljesub-coramittee have to-day submitted a report to their whole committee favorable to tho passage of my Postoflice Bill for Salem. I propose now to press the matter every inch of tlie way until I have the bill reported to the house and on the calendar for the first time. To this end, however, 1 must betn possession of the information which I have culled for. Tn the senate it is practically an ensy mat ter to pass a measure of (his kind, but in tho house it i3 far different. Here a general onslaught is made upon every measure, and fortunate it must be if it can pass the severe ordeal through which it is subjected nt every stage. Very truly yotiw, BlNGEK HERMANN. Captured the Bobbers. Sun day, night while tho proprietors of the Favorite cigar storo were in tno rear room, someouo entered the salesroom and stole several dollars' worth of cigars, knives, razors, etc. Tho same night someouo deftly re lieved Chris. Peterson of his waUh aud chain. Tho police force were soon trying to locate the thieves. This morning Marshal Kofs boarded the northbound passenger train and when near Cliemawa ho espied two chaps coming along tho road. Ho left tho train at Chemawa nnd started back and met them nbout one-half mile this side of thestatlou and at unco placed both men under arrest, and with difficulty marched them buck to town aud landed both chaps in (lie city Jail. A part of the plunder, to gether with a watch nnd chain, was found on them. Coualdorablecrcdlt is due tho police forco. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Special Election Ordered City Treasurer Resigns. . Tho city council met In spcelall session last night. City Attorney J. J. Murphy made the following re re eort: In the matter of tho ordinance bill referred to me at your last regular meeting relating to filling vacancies In office, I respectfully report that the council U not restricted by the charter In providing for the manner of filling vacancies in office. It is left entirely frco to adopt such pro visions relating thereto as may bo deemed necessary or convenient. This being the case, it Is my opinion the pendiug bill if passed will bo in harmony with tho charter and a valid law. The ordlnanco referred to, un old ordinance (intended to allow hold ing of special elections nnd filling vacancies In office, was put on its passage. Thoso voting yes were Couiicllmen Hlrsi-h, Collins, Strang. Edesand Hutton, Bush not voting. The resignation of E. J. Swailord, as city treasurer was read nnd ac cepted. Councilman Strang moved that in the matter of inclining an addi tional indebtedness (for the purpose of building the big bridge) of a $20, 000 bond be submitted to tho voters at the first election; carried. On motion, Monday, March 31, 1890, was fixed ns (he day for hold ing an election. The following resolution was then adepted: Whereas, the common council of the city of Salem contemplates in curring an Indebtedness of $20,000, for the purpose of building a bridge across tho Willamette river, cfmi ineucing at a point on Center street iu'sald city to a point on the oppo site shore of s.ild river in Polk county, under aud by authority of an act of the legislative assembly of tho state of Oregon, approved Oct. 2lst, 1870, entitled "an act to author ize the city of Salem to incur an in debtednessof $00,000 lor tho purpose of building a bridge across the Will amette river," be It resolved that at the city election to be held Mon day, the 31st day of March, A. D., 1890, the question of Incurring an indebtedness of $20,000 for tile said purpose of building a bridge across the Willamette river at the place above designates be submitted to tho voters of sild city of Sa em; that the recorde'be ad is hereby directed to cause" duo notice to be nlven of the same, requesting all who favor the Incurring of said Indebtedness of 20,000 to vote in favor of incurring an lubebt edress of $20,000 to build a bridge across the Wlllametee and those opposed to incurring said in debtedness to vote against incurring an indebtedness of $20,000 to bnild a bridge across Hie Willamette river. Tho following judges and po'ling places of election were then chesen: First Ward Mansion house; judges: Geo. W. Weller, L. E.Pratt, H. Croft. Second Ward Old court house; judges: Geo. H. Burnet, T. L. Golden, H. A. Johnson. Third Ward Opera house; judges: C. B. Moorcs, W. T. Gray, E. M. Waite. Fourth Ward-Ellis & Whitley's stable; judges: Geo. Goodhue, T. B. Walt, Isaac Miller. On motiou H. P. McNary was elected to act as treasurer duriug tho vacancy. The recorder was ordered to draw a warrant in favor of J. E. McCoy for $200 for paying expenses of hav ing the old bridge brought back. Messrs. J. H. Albert and C. B. Moores. upon invitation, addressed the council in regard to rebuilding the bridge, after which tho council adjourned to meet again in regular session Tuesday, April 1st. L. C. Fisher, of Fisher Bros., Mehama, was a caller yesterday. What makes tho people fioek to J. G. Wrigh's?

Call ami pee him. Boring Fob Gas. There Is n good deal of talk nnioug our mon eyoJ men of Salem over the matter of organizing n stock company to bore for natural ga. Wo beliovo It n feaslblo plan and might bo the re sult of striking a rich lead for tho future developemeut of the city. Feb. 14 tho Journal contained nri article stating that gas of somo kind was escapiug from a well on tho J. H. Lehman farm on Salem prai rie. The escaping gas made a whl it ling bubbling noise ns it came up through the water. Thoro is no doubt it would be a good thing to test the matter, as striking any kind of a flow of gas would do more to make a great manufacturing place of Salem than any other one thing. But a stock company of $1,500 capital would hnrdly amount to much. It would not much moro than pay for the tubing for a thousand foot well, say nothing of cost of digging. A number of business men are ready to put in $50 or a $100 apleco to test the matter but not with any ex pectation of making a great specu lation. Every dollar subscribed for such an enterprise shoujd be signed with tho distinct understanding that it might be sunk as an experi ment, with no hope of a return. The enterprise would be sure to re sult iu one thing a good artesian well wherever it is located. The wife of J. C. Brown, of Taco ma, died at the asylum last night. Spectators to tho A. O. U. W. ball will bo admitted this evening for 25 cents each. The contractors struck tho first blows this afternoon to put in tho motor lines for the new electric rail way. A dozen men will complete the work in 30 days. Good. By a communication from the two count courts it will be seen that there Is practically an unan imous sentiment in favor of a first- class bridge. That is what all tho people want aud tho Journal Is happy to see the unanimity that prevails. Bridge Survey. At the request of a number of prominent citizens Mr. S.H.SIgel, C.E., of Chicago, comes to Salem, and Is to-day mak ing a survey of tho river here, to make a plan for the" new bridge. Mr. Sigel Is a reputablo engineer, who was resident nt tho construction of the Portland railway bridge, aud his firm Is not connected with any firm of, bridge builders. Runaway. About one o'clock this afternoon a horse came rushing down Chcinekeia street from the East Salem school, until Liberty street was reached when ho jumped on tho walk on the west side uud ran to State street. Ho jumped on the stone pavement In front of Hughes' grocery storo where he fell aud was captured. Several persons nurrowly escaped being run over. Tho report of Salem Grange made the same impression on the East Or'gonian that It did on the Jour nal. That paper says: At a meet ing of Salem Grange Saturday, Senator Stanford's resolution In re lation to tho government lending money on real estate was discussed, the Graugcrs generally favoring It.

Jeurnal: Unfortunately our little burg is not on tho banks of tho classlo Santiam neither do its waters cleanse its streets Jn tho wintertime, though possibly they may dampen onr soil iu summer, by means of our water ditch, the main souico or which Is Mill creek, on tho banks of which Turner Is situated. Just now our littlo town Is greatly excited over tho subject matter of school tax and enlargement of school buildings. As to tho school tax, this matter was settled by a voto of yeas and nays at our March meeting; tho majority of tho voters preseut thinking it unwlso to en courage extravagauco or a further increaso ot taxes tills year, since tho taxes for 18S9 equal moro than ten per cent of the average lucomo of tho farmers. If Tumor must have a full school let us have it general. One mill more on the school tax of Oregon will give ii full school in every district In tho stnte, It is claimed. It is hardly tho fulr thing to ask peopio to help educate indis criminately in a local district, each has a sutllcicncy of educationnl bur dens to meet, as Ills children finish up nt tho district school and go a way to college. Again: It Iscertalnlyqucstlounblo policy iu a small placo liko Turner to think of enlarging its school building, before tho growth of tho town calls for it. It is useless to try to forco academies in our small dis tricts. It is also unwlso iu the first place, for more room aud capital aro required to make such a school a success, than can possibly bo had In n small place. And again: Usually when youug people wish to go to college, they choose a placo where cholco of society, church privileges' and a first class collcgoor university courso may bo had. This Is right and natural. Turner is too near the Willamette University to ever force, or havo n successful high school, other than sho has, unless unfore seen circumstances forco a popula tion of somo thousands aud she take the position of suburb to Salem. Further: Knowing tho small wages received by the wage workers of Turner and vicinity, it is unwlso policy iu our dlrectiors, to Incur In debtedness by paying extravagant wages. Wisdopi and economy should bo practiced publlcally as well as privately. CONDENSED TELE0RAMS. Tho Blair educational bill was do featcd in thoBcnato. Weston is soon to havo a telophono system. Tho Wood river country is full of deer. They feed on tho ranges with the cattle. Eleven pcrsoiiB have been mur dered by Apaches on tho Littlo Bluo near Silver City, New Mexico.

Payne, who have been Ilviugthere fertile past month, were arrested, charged with robbing the Northern Pacific express ofileo nt llrainard, Minnesota, about one year ago. Bishop Eslier, of tho Evangelical Association is on trial at Chicago by a commission lor unchristian con duct, slander, evil speaking and falsehood, creating dissensions, per petuntitig and intensifying agitation In the church and disturbing her peace by tho revival of old aud pre viously adjudicated dllleronces. Bishop Eslier is not iu attendance. Rkaimnci, Pa., March 20. In tho Bishop Esher trial to day docu mentary evidence was introduced in support of the allegations against tho bishop, aud his writings uud public speeches wero extensively quoted and numerous letters to sus tain tho cliarges. A verdict will bo made up tomorrow. At West Point Conn. Annie Lowry nnd Mary MoDermott, two young women employed Iu Lee's cotton factory fought a stand-up tight with baro knuckles Iu an old building.
