Congressman, itingcr Hermann Writes
the Chances- nro (iootl.
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

salesroom and stole several dollars'
worth of cigars, knives, razors, etc.

This morning Marshal Kofs boarded

Ho left tho train at Chemawa
nnd started back and met

both men under arrest, and with
difficulty marched them buck to

found on them. Coualdorablecrcdlt

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

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.

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

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

FROM TURNER.
Ed. 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.
