Till! Jouu NAL men feel as tho' they had a right to try to impart this Inspira tion for future happiness to others. They came strangers to this land of Oregon, they aro happy to have Jimde-a living In a year of pretty tight times, as was 1890 now closed. Their surplus energies and earnings were devoted to building up their business. When a man Is permitted to follow his chosen avocation aud has his business ou a self-sustaluiug basis in these times, ho bus good reason to be happy. And so wo drink n toast, standing, lu cold water, or whatsoever you please, this happy New Year time, to all who aio happy enough to bo alive and getting a living. While we love our friends, wo sin cerely wish the New Year may have muck in store that is pleasant for all, whether they be our friends or not. While we cannot count all friends, we allow ourselves to consider no man our euemy. Here's a Happy New Year to those with whom we disagree, for they have our high respect ! For It may bo they are right, aud we would be foolish to underestimate them, or the merit of their views. Wo wish to all for 1891 undisturb ed enjoyment In their liberty of opinion aud persons. We would not imprison any of God's creatures; we would not compel any to think as we or lay bounds upon their con scientious convictions. We want freedom for the individual to better and enjoy himself in accordance with the golden rule. We can see brighter days coming for the masses. With increasing Intelligence, with a higher love for humanity, spreading from polo to pole, with a greater spirit of toleration abroad, let us all welcome the new year with cheerful hearts and smiling faces. There Is a great world outside of tho little world each one builds about himself. Let us take It all into our hearts. Let us be bro.id, charitable, kind, sympathetic. Hatred must be driven out of the world. Greater Love must rule. Kiudliness must be crowned King in our hearts to- day and we must swear alleglauco to keep this monarch upon his throue for all the comiug years. So here is luck to young aud old for 1891 ! A HAPPY NEW YEAR ! ! The Population of Salem. The population of this city as re turned by the census euumerators tho past year wus 10,407, but the work was so hastily done under the botched and faulty system of Rob ert Porter, that a great many were missed from tho enrollment, and the general belief of the closest ob servers is that we had at that time a population of at least 12,000. A modest calculation of the increase since that time, as evidenced by the volume of trade, tho sales of real es tate, the Increased attendance at the schools, the number of new houses built, which are all occupied, and numerous other unfailing signs, has been at least 15 per centum, which would leave tho population at the picseut time very close to 14,000. The increuse in population during the past three years hss been an av erage of 25 per centum per year, and the outlook now is much better for increased immicration hither than it has ever been before, hence it can bo safely piedlcted that by the close of 1891 the number of Kalein's In habitants will not full far short of 18,000, while It may possibly reach 20,000. And there aro no Idle men hero who are inclined to work. The iudustiious can always find something to do at fair living wages. Our people aro made up of those from almost every laud, but are principally Americans, A largo number of tho old settlers camo here from Missouii and other Southern states, but of late years Iowa, Illi nois, Minnesota, Dakota, Kansas and Nebraska have sent largo dele gations and we are truly a cosmopol itan community, caring not for the region whence the immigrant comes If lie or she prove a desirable mem ber of tho body politic. In faet tho people of Oregon are whole-souled, generous and neigh borly. They have tho right hand of fellowship ready for every deserv ing "brilher niau,'' aud to be a little poetical, the writer can with pleas ure add for this great state; Her heait is warm as the sun; Come, livo aud love In Oregon. l'roiiounceil 1'erfect by a Practical En gineer, 1 havo been a great suflerer from rheu. mutism for seven ) tars, und hearing ol the. success ol Jllbburd's Hbeumatia Uyrup, concluded to glvelt a trial. 1 have tested the curative propertied of tho mineral spilngs without finding rellcffrom that or uuy other source until I tried lilbhuids Khumailo avrup, which has done wonders toi me luin now walk with eutlre freedom It Is a splendid remedy for tho blood and ueuuiittiuu system. hku u jckman.

As a means of affording an oppor tunity of making comparison be tween the climatic conditions of the Willamette valloy with that of tho states east of tho Pacific coast, I proposo to givo somo facts taken from observations recorded at this point from 1800 to tho present time, coverlii(j24 years, and which, so far as I hnvvi.'nformntloti, forms tho largest continuous record of obser vations taken tu tho state, and per haps upon the coast. The average mean temperoture for the year, up to Dec. 81, 1889, was, 61 '9. The highest mean for any! year during that time was 53:4 in 1875, and tho lowest mean for any year was 48 In 1880. Tho highest monthly mean during tho same time was "O0 which occurred In July, 1880, and tlie lowest monthly mean was 30 in Jan,, 1875. On Aug. 13, 1870, tho temperature reach ed 05 degrees, while on July 0, 1878, It stood at 98 degrees. On several other occasions during the time it has reached a degree or two above 90, but such occurrences are very rare, and when they occur It seldom continues more than one or two days, when thesea breeze comes and cools oil" tho atmosphere, making the conditions very pleasant. It la al so true that tho liitrh temperatures lasts oniy irom two to inree uours or tlie day on wuicn tuey occur. On Dec. 23, 1879, the temperature went oowu 10 er oeiow zero, wnien was regarded as extremely cold. In Jan., 18SS, on the 14th, It was 5 below; on the 15th it rose to zero aud on the 10th dropped one degree below. These are the only occasions during the whole time when the thermometer has fallen to or below zero. It has however, ou several occasions went as low as from 5 to 8 above zero. The averago preclpitntlon (rain and melted snow) from Jan. 1870 to Dec. 18S9, per year was 36.34 Inches. The largest amount falling in any one year was lu 1879, when 50.28 inches fell; the nearest approach to an equal amount was In 1877, when 50.14 inches was recorded. The smallest amount falling in any one year duriug tbe same time was 28.54 inches which occurred In 1889, and which in a general way Is insuffic ient for successful agricultural oper ations, aud yet throughout the Wil lamette valley the husbandman was blessed with abundantcropsfor that year. The next lowest amount of water falling during the year was 30 71 inches in 1874. It often occurs in July and Aueust. and twice, viz in 1873 and 1890, in September, when no. rain falls dur ing me entire montn; tuis condition more especially for July aud August, is never objected to by the farmer, inasmuch as it gives hfm the best op portunity for securing his crops. It might be of interest to state that over 11 inches of water fell dur ing the month, in Jan. 1888, when 11.08 inches fell; also 11.50 inches in Dec. too, while in Nov. 1877, 13.01 inches f?l) dining the mouth; 10 inches aim less than 11 fell each month In Feb. 1878 aud 1879, March 1877, 1879 and 1681, otherwise there has several times fallen an excess of 9 Inches during thoWiouth, and yet on no one of tho occasions referred to has extremely hlch w-aer In the streams resulted, simply for the rea son that the tomperatuie durj-' tho time the rain was falling was io low as to bo below tho molting point In tlie mountains, allowing tlie water falling in the lower elevations to bo carried away in tbe streams before the snow in tbe mountains came down. It will bo remembered that In Feb. 1890. we had 0.48 inches of water w'lich fell in 13 days, over 7 inches of which however, fell ou ono or two days of tbe mouth and which resulted lu a disastrous Hood. This was brought about by con ditions blmilar to those which pro duced tho Hood lu 1801 thlrty-nlne years before, viz.: A general and heavy rain at tho samo time both iu the valloy aud in the mouutalns, tho temperature being sufficiently high to melt tho snow iu tbe monu talus und thus forcing the whole muss rapidly into tho streams, As a rulo it may bo noted as very closely approximating to accuracy, that whenever there beiug a good supply of snow iu the mountains aud a general heavy rain occurring, the temperature being us high as 51 degrees in tho valloy and con tinuing at that height day and night, or neai ly to It, the melting polut of snow' will bo reached iu tho mountains which will surely result iu rushing tho water into the streams, producing destructive floods It should however be said that while tho temperature may reach as high as 54 degrees at mid-day iu the valley dropping at night to say 40 degrees or below, tho polut of con gelation would be reached lu tbe mountains, checking tho rush of tho water, and whilo high water iu the streams would result, still they would not reach the destruotivo polut as iu 1801 and 1890, The writer spent tho first nineteen years of his lite in England, two years in Massachusetts, four years iu central Illinois, tlie greater part of one year in California uud the last thirty-nine years iu Oregon and the result of his observations und ex perience is the. conviction that Ore gon is blessed with tlie finest und most enjoyable olimate in tho world.
