That meaus five hundred new readers! 1 The Jour nal grows 1 1 1 How does tho Journal grow so? By work. Everybody connected with this newspaper works. It is u working torce for Salem every working day In the year. It Is not published for fun, nor as a recrea tion of a fow politicians. Its pub lishers live by their work and with no other expectation of reward. Tho Journal grows because it enjoys tho confidence of tho people, so far as it is possible to establish confidence between tbe peoplo who read It and Its publishers who were perfect strangers 15 months ago. Tho other Journal stock-holders are happily not new-comers In Ore gon tuo names wajie, nyars, Chamberlain and Shaw are house hold words beyond the confines of this valley. The Journal Is devoted to Salem. Its present publishers did not have the naming of it. They would not have called It tbo Capital Jour nal, but the Salem Journal. That's what It Is a paper represent ative of Salem'B best Interests all tbe time. It puts Salem against the world for an equal city of Its size. It Is a Salem paper. THE STRAWBERRY FAIR. Saturday, May 10th, the Marlou County Fruit Growers' Association will bold Its regular quarterly session I at Salem, at the court house, meet ing at 10 a. m. Tbe important dubi uess at this session will be to com- nleto arrangements for tho first strawberry fair ever held in Oregon. These fairs have been regularly held in many Btatea. The experiment is all tbe more important aud Interest ing Jn Oregon as tbe cultivation of this fruit may bo bald to bo ulmost In Us lufonov. Wlillo this state ex ports some strawberries to the North, atlll far more are Imported to Ore gon from California. The highest development of strawberry culture will give Oregon this fruit iu mar ketable quantities from May 1st to December 31st. This first straw berry fair at Salem Is tho Inceptive step to the foundation of a great Industry. With plain and hill land, with varying soils, with a climato that renders tbe cultivation of this crop easy and Inexpensive, and production Immense, tbore are unlimited stores of wealth In tbo strawberry market, and homo grow era should see to it that tho first strawberry exhibition at Stlem Is a marked success so marked ns to draw the attention of the Paciflo Northwest to this great valley as au Ideal strawberry region, as we be llevelt Is destined to become. u.hfoktuhatk ran ijknnoykm. The unauthorized publication of on lutervlew with Governor Fen noyer, regarding the reception of President Jlurriwm, Is undoubtedly being wed to bis disadvantage by his enemies. The Oregnrilan Is making the most of ft, had it tele graphed to tho Eastern press, and they telegraphed back columns of hostile criticisms upon tbo alleged dlecourteous tone of his remarks, It 1 to be regretted that a cham pion of tho people's lutercst has given the enemies of the people so touch f h handle to assail him. Sileuco upon the governor's part would bare disarmed au over alert foe, that Issuing columns of ridicule and abtts to destroy Governor Pen noyer field on tlteaflectlousof the people. Well may we believe what the Governor td, that be would give tho wholo world to recall tht Interview, Hiking any point of etiquette wm uHf.rluiwt la IH Wa West," 'where such matters do not count for much aud the whole nlfiiir has been extremely unfortunato for tha Gov ernor. It 13 not surprising thai tbo Ore goniau should make tbo most of its opportunity to rldlculo and belittle Penuoyer on this occasion. It is ahvayn ready to destory tho influ ence of any man who tries to stand up for tbe rights of the mosses, aud It is more than bumauto expect It to sbleldPennoyeronthtsoccaslou. Its editorial comment has been coolly calculated to run Pennoyor through With its rapier at bis most vulnerable points. It takes plcasuro In humil iating as sensitive a man as Pen noyor whom It has advertised nil over tho nation, ns n possible candi date for tbo presidency. The Financial Situation ef Kansas The state auditor of Kansas re ports that tho railroad mileage of the state, 8,755 miles, Is capitalized at $450,710,000 of whieh $220,548,000 Is i n bonds aud $1,227, 171 ,0001n stock, but as tbe people nre expected to pay dlvldeuds ou stock ns well nc Interest on bonds tho whole burden of this capitalization rests on their shoulders the samo as a bonded debt. Au ex-member of tbu board of rail road commlsslonora of Kansas has luformed us that In his Judgment nine-tenths of this ontiro $450,000,. 000 of railroad securities is wholly "watered," aud need never have existed It Is "lint" wealth 'created through plutocratic legislation for the beueflt of Eastern and Euro pean capitalists. Hut It Is upon our shoulders, nevertheless. To this Is to be auded tho municipal bonded indebtedness, estimated by the state auditor at ?381000,000. And then comes tho farm, city aud chattel mortgage debt of tho people, The auditor estimates this ut only $00, 000,000 but It Is entirely reasonable to say that It Is fully $200,000,000, aud this docs uot lucludo bunk loans not secured by mortgages on record. Total of railroad, municipal and per sonal mortgage Indebtedness In round figures, $005,000,000. Tbo as sessed valuation of taxablo property in Kansas Is given at Lands $108,285,100 City lots 72,814,874 Railroads 57,800,232 Personal 48,750,013 Total $347,717,218 which Is $347,000,000 less than the mortgaged iudebtodness. But itrls known that tbe assessed valuation does not average over half what the property could be sold for oven In this time of depressed valuation, so that wo may reasonably say that tho mortgagees of Kausas property now own tbo stato. Most of the mortgagees, Including substantially all tho owners of railroad stocks and bonds, Hyo in the Eastern states or In Europe, and aro practically ab sentco landlords. It ought toboevl deut that tho peoplo of Kansas arc not going to be able to pay their enormous luueuteuncss auu own their property, railroads Included, free of debt, without n very radical chango In tb? monetary system of tbe country, a chango that cannot bo had without cutting loose from the specie redemption limit of pnpor currency.
