WHY ARE THE-
Two Branchesof Hie Orason Los
Called to meet on the 2Gth day of September, in Salem, Oregon ?
Because there exists an emergency that should be corrected,
FIRST That several persons are making money out of UiK by charging
enormods proQts on their wares.
SECOND That they palm off spurious Roods and charge first-class prices
and to correct these errors the governor In his message to the legislature will
8ayThat thoy pass an appropriation so that all the employes will have money
and not vouchers, and they will not be compelled to ro to the high-priced,
stares for their wares (who credits and charges an enormous per cent) so as
the customer, who pays cash, stands the losses for the delay of the old-timers.
The people will be ordered to purchase their wares at
2 Friedman's
Which Is opposite Bush's watering tank, where you will find a complete
assortment of clothing, and where they will give you fits In Men s, "louth's
and f "Sfdren'a Clothing, where a full line of Wnishing Goods la kept; where

these details: Tho American com
mlssloncrs appointed to arrange the
terms of the evacuation ol the
Island may encounter many problems
uimcuib ui suiuwuu, uuu ii is mo
geneial belief here that the Spanish
commissioners, despite the professed
anxiety of some of tho highest Span
ish officials to dlspaicn this work and
relinquish control as soon as possible,
will exercise their skill to secure every
advantage.
They are desperate, und will get
under our guard If such a thing is
possible. Win Jo it is likely that Gen.
Brooke may have virtual Control of
this city within a few weeks, It may
be some time longer before the lust
vestige of Spanish authority is re
moved. In fact, our commissioners
appear convinced that they will be
able to complete their work insido of
live or six weeks. Colonel Hunter,
secretary of the commission; Major
Carson, disbursing agent;Mr. Hunter,
legal adviser of the commislon, and
one or two others, are here, but some
of clerks and stenographers have not
yet arrived.
Just how the commission will pro
ceed it will be impossible to guess un
til the two setsof commissioners meet.
Their instructions are known only to
themselves. Their functions are
purely military, and would seem to be
limited, under the terms of the pro.
tocol. to arranging the details of evac
uation and the transfer of all Spanish
government propert to the united
States.
At the first blush this would seem a
simple operation, necessitating only
an Inventory of the government prop
erty on the island an distinguished
frotn tne .property or tue provinces,
municipalities aud the towns, its
transfer to the United States and the
departure of the Spanish troops. But
it is lniimaieu mac me spanisn au
thorities possibly for their govern
ment, but more probably for them
selves hope to save something out of
tue wrecK.
Just how they expect to do this
passes comprehension, but those who
are In the counsels of the past assert
that they will be able to do so. As
the session of the island to the
United States carries with It all pub
lic property, fortlgcallons, buildings,
lands, etc.. there Is an intimation that
the Spanish will demand componsa-

A Kingston Jamaica, cablegram
says the hurrlcano of Sunday was un-
aoubtedly the worst visitation of the
kind experienced by tho West Indies
during the century. Two huTlcancs
swept along the Island chain from
Barbadoes westward to St. Vincent,
and thence northwest to St. Kltt?,
where It was last heard from. Bar
badocs suffered mostly from tho rain
which destroyed crons and mads ns It
did at St. Lucia and other Islands,
while tho center of tho storm swept
over St. Vincent and Guadaloupc.
Details received from St. Vincent
show that great destruction of life and
property took place there. Out of a
population of 41,000. 300 wero killed,
and 20,000 Injured and rendered home
less. Besides this, owing to the com
plete destruction of provisions, they
are all starving. The Island has been
absolutely gutted by wind and floods
from the mountains In addition to the
waves along the coast.
There has been great loss to thlp
ping along the trach of the cyclone.
Relief funds are being raised In re
sponse to tho appeal of tho governor
of St. Vincent, where all descriptions
of food, clothing and other necessities
wero lost In the general destruction.
Tho demand for building materials Is
unlimited. No details of tho work of
the hurricane haye been received from

Black Ships.
Washington, Sopt. 17. It Isiscml
officially announced that tho nayy de
partment has decided to garb the
ships of war In somber huo of black
paint, Instead of returning to tho
hulls of white, which, beforo the be
ginning of the lato war, distinguished
tho American navy from that of for
eign nations. The change, as ex
plained, was recomraenden on a purely
ecomlcal basis, It being demonstrated
that while white paint was more at
tractive and much cooler wiien the
ships were In tho tropics, at the same
tlmo It was more difficult to keep
them In "ship shape and Bristol
fashion," and naturally excessive
quantities had to he used to coyer
