SCHOOLS AND OUCHARDS, AND
TDK QUO Wn OF SALEM.
Someone proposes a $20,000 sub
sidy for the location ofj a manufao-
hiring enterprise at Salem, aHd it is
a good, sensible proposition and the
money would be well invested.
Such au establishment would em
ploy seventy-five people and would
udd three huudred people to the
population of the city,- who would
become customers of the business
houses of Salem. Another $20,000
would be well expended in locating
academies and colleges at tho Cap
ital city. Four sucli' institutions
can bo located here at "quce by giv
ing them $5000 each. Wo have
two or three private schools now
lu operation in tho city, that are
well managed, that should be pro
vided with permanent locations
and buildings. Each one of such
schools would have an, attendance
of from fifty to one hundred pupils,
and with parents andthers, who
would locate In the cltyj on account
of such schools, would add not less
than one thousand people to the
population of the cltjf; Salem Is
also tho most appropriate placo in
Oregon for the location of such
schools, but the YVllamctto valley Is
pre-eminently '&' fruit growing
country, and the people of Salem
can make uclty of fifty thousand
people here Inside of fifteen years,
simply by encouraging tho fruit
growing business; and tho way to
encourage it is to show , faith In It,
by engaging In It. $20,000 will buy
one huudred acres ofi good fruit
luud, f-et out to prunes, (cultivate It
three years and bullda good dry
muse of sufficient Rapacity to
haidlo the fruit. After live years
,W3h an orchard willsxeturn the
nveslnient every year, and pay all
expenst-s and clvo employment to
one hundred people during tho fruit
season, and such enterprises would
be the means of securing other
like investments, and iu$thut way
would udd to the population nnd
trade of tho city rapidly and per
manently. The people of Salem have Invested
laigely in city property, both In
Salem and In other cities with the
hope of an advance througli the de
maud caused by Increased Immigra
tion, and, so fur as ealem is con
cerned, no one will lose any money
on city property; but a more perma
nent prosperity can bo secured by
offering to new comers property
that will be productive, as well us
increase rapidly in value. Let a
company bo formed to buy one
huudred acres and set It out to fruit,
near the city. Let the capital Htock
be $20,000, in shares of $2.00 ouch;
let the land be platted in lots twenty
feet square, and numbered-accordingly;
then each lot would represent
one $2.00 share of stock and each
lot would have one tree on it; then
let the stock be Issued so that each
sharo would call for certain lotf.
au assessment of 10 per cent, would
make the first paymout on the land,
and tho balauce could be had ou
eight yeais time, and could bo made
out of tho fruit. Another aseess
ment of 10 per cent, would buy tho
trees and set them out. Assess
ments of 10 per cent, each year, for
five years, would pay for cultivat
ing, pruning, spraying, etc. At the
end of five yearn another assessment
would have to be mude to build the
dryhouse, after wlilo tlmeh the
iucomo would provide for all expense
aud return a net profit of 100 per
cent, each year.
Every real esiato firm in town,
which is engaged in selling fruit
tracts, should huve such rn orchurd,
and thus show their faith in the
busiuess as well us to educate the
people up to tho importance of the
fruit business for this section, and
everybody in Salem who owns
property und Is Interested in tho
prosperity of Salem, should sub
scribe ton shares for every hundred
dollars' wortli of property owned.
This would require only two cents
on the dollar of his property per
year to advertise tills vicinity as the
best fruit growing region In the
world, uud for every dollur thus
expended one dollur per year Inoomo
would be assuied. After fivo years,
a citizen of Sulem worth $5000
would, in this wav, pay out $100
fur year.
HALKM l'JNANCK.
Tho budget of Ha lem finances lu
Tin: Jouknal has been much dis
cussed among bankers and business
men. It was admitted to be the
clearest and complelest showing yet
made, and yet It wusonly a correct
publication of official reports. There
are many who hellbve that rialein 1
nn expensively governed city. The
narrow marRlm by which eoyeral
members of tho city government
were elected U an Judication of con
niderable dluatUfuctlon with our
city finance Had It not been
apparent that men were wanted
who wcro heartily in favor of public
improvements, it is certain that tho
result would have been quite difler
ent. It is not certain that Salem is
on expensively governed city, when
the expenses of our city government
are compared with nearly all tho
other smaller cities of tho coast.
There are cities In Oregon with not
over a third the population of Salem
that hayo fully as expensive n city
government. Astoria, with not
near the population of Salem, has a
city government that costs twlco as
much.
Astoria's expenses for 1801 wcro
$65,701.73. Total obligations of city
$105,070.57, of which $100,000 Is
bonds. The fire department tho
past year cost $22,752.17, salrles $10,
098.47. Liquor licenses pay $15,000,
taxes $13,080.01; balance In treasury
$23,028.41, net debt less cash $86,
487.21. Tho retiring chief of police
Is charged by tho mayor with not
turning In delinquent taxes and the
city treasurer is asked to account for
a discrepancy of $1035.10.
There has been a political revolu
tion at Astoria over the city finan
ces, aud a new order of things is
predicted. No such revolution can
take placo at Salem on account of
expense, as no such showing can
bo made. At Salem tho demand is
not so much for financial reform as
for a certain amount of public im
provements that ought to bo made.
The trial of tho present administra
tion will come ovor finances in
part but it will be in tho way tho
finances are managed with a view to
securing street Improvements. If
the present city government cannot
devise ways to secure improved
streets it can hardly expect to re
main In power. It will not expect
to merely expend the monies re
ceived from taxes aud licenses and
Incur a few thousand dollars moroof
debt, aud for that to be continued
iu power. It does expeot, aud tho
public expects, to see at tho end of
tho year 1892, several of our princi
pal streets iu bettor shape than they
are at the beginning of tho year.
That will be the supremo test of this
administration wheu the next elec
tion conies.
Salem ' fluances uro seriously
aflectcd for ono reuson that tho city
government is not to blame for
the assepsment law. It may astonish
many to learn that more thuu half
of Salem property Is not taxed be
cause of exemptlone for debt. One
third of our business blocks aro not
taxed at all. Financial reform
must begiu with an assessment re
form that will allow all property to
be assessed.
Some ono connected with tho city
government should preparo a budget
of probable receipts from all sources
and probable expenses for all ac
counts for 1802. Such au estimate
is absolutely necessary for an intelli
gent understanding of what can be
done. Owing to lucrenso Iu valua.
tlous it may be assumed that the
city's iucomo will amouut to $10,000
in 1802. If expenses could bo kept
down to $30,000 there would bo
$10,000 to expend on public improve
ments. Tho fixed charges 1801
were as follews:
Firo department $5221
Liiguts and water 6800
I'olico 3003
Salaries 2500
Interest 3450
Total fixed charges $20,004
From u financial standpoint tho
city would sayo niouoy by cancell
ing $20,000 of warrants now out
drawing 8 per cent, and Issuing
bonds at 5 per cent. Iu place. The
suggestions lu this artlclo aro not
made to find fault, but to assist the
taxpayer In getting a clear under
standing of tho situation.

MISCELLANY.
THAT I1ACCARAT CASE.
London, Jan. 0. It was an
nounced recently that a mysterious
typewritten pamphlet, of which
only fifty-seven copies had been Is
sued, was being circulated lu high
ciroles. It was added that the
pamphlet referred to attacked tho
Prince of Wales, Lady Brooke and
othors, and that the Duchess rf
Manchester, at a luncheon party,
had read it aloud to hor guests. Tho
result of tho appearance of this
pamphlot was a series of conferences
botweeu the Prince of Wales", Lord
Salisbury, and Lord Charles Beros
ford ("Fighting Charlie," or Condor
fame, the gallaut sailor who ran his
gunboat with groat effect under tho
guns of Fort Alexandria, and earned
tho "Well dono, Condor," signal
from admiring seamen). Tho fol
lowing appears to be tho facts in tho
case. Lady Beresford, tho wife of
Lord Charles Beresford, scorns to
havo become Jealous of the favor
with which Lord nnd Lady Brooko
wore received at Marlborough house
tho town resldenco of tho Prlnco ofi
Wales, and sho Is said to have pre
pared and circulated tho pamphlet
In question, which is said to contain
private correspondence which had
passed between hlmsolf and Lady
Brooko before and during the bacca
rat trial. There Is also, It Is said,
an addenda which discloses tho do
grco of friendship existing botweeu
Lord aud Lrdy Brooko and the
prlnco, showing, in a now light, cer
tain features of tho baccarat suit, and
proving that Sir William Gordon
Cummlug was loyal to the Prince of
Wales, and so maintained silence
upon cortulu points in conuoctlou
with tho caso. Tho pamphlot is a
small ono In overy sense .and Is
couched lu veiled language It claims
to point out various instances where
tho couplo (tho prlnco and Lady
Brooko) wero together, Includ
ing a certain meeting at tho Doucas
ter hotel, 'while they aro said to
havo mot incognito directly after the
baccarat scandal at the Brooko resi
dence. It was upon this' occasion,
according to the pamphlet, that the
Prlnco of Wales luformed Lady
Brooko of tho fucts regarding the
card scandal wbloh tho latter Is said
to havo subsequently talked about
for them to become public property.
It was this publicity given to tho
aflulr, It will bo remembered, which
led to the suits which wero brought
by Sir William Gordon-Cummlug
against tho Wilsons and others, aud
lu which tho latter was non-suited.
Tho mysterious pamphlet Is said to
contain copies of lettors written by
Lady Brooko, admitting facta lu
connection with her friendship with
tho priuco aud boasting of It to her
quondam friend, Lady Beresford.
In ouo letter Lady Brooke Is quoted
asspeuklugof tho Prince of Wales
visiting her town house, und Lady
Boresford Is alleged to add that from
facts afterwards developed it, was
learned that tho priuco was In the
habit of driving In a carrlago with
out crests or other marks by which
it could be known. That ho was
accustomed to stop at Grosveuor
Bquaro and to alight there aud walk
up Brooke street.
Coutluulug, the pamphlet add
that wheu tho prlnco approcHd
the steps of the Brooko rwJeteoos
the door was silently and qwtekly
opened, aud the prlnoo would itr
