I I DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL 8ALEM, OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 21,, 1904 FIVE. EGITIMATE NEED We Energy of tne Be Exerted to Advance Them The Journal has not been In great Haste to exploit some of the matters ftwhich are being heralded as. great en. irprlses and prospective boora-mak- Sra, In short, It has not felt at liber- IK to unload upon Its readers so-called information of which It has no deflnlto fKSowledge and concerning which no jfijfeated responsible people seem to aow anything., First and most lm prtant among these projects is prob- Bbly the much-talked-about-double- ick-one-dollar-trlp-electrlc - railroad, ISetween Portland and Salem, to be built within a few days. The project ay all bo well-founded, and may be put Into effect as Btated. But so far, he most definite Information that eomes to the public Is what a gentle man named French, from Michigan, fcas told a Portland newspaper report er. As previously stated, this may all be true, but such things do not often develop like mushrooms In a night, nor Is the vital news brought to the public by absolute strangers. Still It pay all bo true. If It Is, It will cer- Ealnly be a good thing for Portland, Rind possibly by every town touched Iby U. Railroads are well known to Ibe great developers of latent enter- prises, and modern transportation fa- cllltles have transformed many a community like magic. Every one In this community has a right to hope that this railroad may materialize, and no cold water should ibe thrown upon the project, when once ; authoritatively launched However, it does seem unnatural that that a railroad of this character should be built from Portland to Salem, when three trains a day handle all the traffic K very easily at present, A double-track mlle-a-mlnute enterprise Is no trifling matter, and must have great volumes of business to support, It. Hence there Is a natural doubt in the minds of a large majority as to the consu matlon of this project. A largo ma jority of the people who read about this alleged enterprise believe It is only being sprung at intervals when interest seems to bo manifested for "other railroad enterprises, such as the lino from Dallas. Of course, no one rwn tAll lnfcf whnt Intaraat la fnmnrtMnrr tl ""-. "v "" n this proposition, and as a result peo ple very naturally take little stock In It as yet. The Journal hopes this rail road may be built, and built soon, and it does not feel that a little frank dis cussion of the possibilities of Its be ing a fake, will retard Its coming If It Is a genuine project. Anothor proposition, which, If genu ine, would bo of great Interest to Sa lem, Is the discussion of the matter of art oil strike on Howell Prairie. Much is being said' about the certainty of this being a great strike, and many alr-castles have already been built from the proceeds of the alleged find. This also may prove to bo a genuine find, and every Salomlto sincerely Is there anything better than trade between friends? Schilling's JJest makes friends and trade.

I IIIHIMMtlllllMllllIM PROJECTS ATTENTION Community Should hopes It will prove such. Everybody who knows the young men on whose property the oil has been discovered has the utmost confidence in their sin cerity In the matter, and those gentle men have very frankly admitted that they have no practical knowledge on tho subject, simply submitting what .they find, and awaiting developments concerning the same. Such a discov ery near Salem would be a good thing for .the entire Willamette valley)res peclally for this city. But like the old saying, "It takes money to buy whis key," It takes something more than super-heated atmosphere, display of Ignorance and Immaculate gall, to con vince the practical capitalist that there Is oil in eight. If there should prove to be oil In the Pratum' region, and wo sincerely hope that such will be tho case, all will rejoice, but to have proven It on paper a score of time, only to have It fall In reality, can do no one any good, but, on the, other hand, subject the entire tommu nlty to ridicule. The bettor policy for every Salem man will be to push, his own business, push the community, help the lallroads, that are offered and In sight, and when those other pro jects come to view, put their shoulders to the wheel. COURT HOUSE DOINGS Things about the court house were unusually quiet today, as also at the city hall. There was nothing doing In, any of the departments, excepting the county clork's office, and part of their staff Is away oiv a vacation One case was filed In each of the departments of the circuit court, a3 given belew: Tho Capital National Bank today filed an attachment suit against Ar thur" Farrow In department No l,,of tho circuit court to recover $316.07 and Interest. H. G. Bigger Is the at torney. Morcus Chrlstensen today, filed a comrilalnt in department No. 2 of the circuit court asking that Grover Sim mons, road supervisor, bo enjoined from opening a road through his land, as ordered by tho county court. Frank Holmes Is attorney for tho plaintiff. They Shoot Pheasants. Hunters, according to all accounts, are laboring under a false Impression with reference to tho China pheasant law. As a result of the many articles published on the subject a confused Idea seems to have gained credence, because the new law that tho legisla ture attempted to pass failed of en actment, that there Is no law whatev er on tho subject, and that pheasants may bo shot at any tlmo. The notion Is; however, Incorrect. The statute stands now Just as It did beforo tho legislature attempted ithe enactment of tho law prohibiting killing entirely for two years. That Is to say, tho old law Is in full force and effect, and under it pheasants cannot be lawfully shot un til October 1st, which) Is the date on which tho CO days' open season begins. It is said that in various parts, la boring under the false Impression, hunters are shooting young pheasants freely. Tho game officers have heard of the matter, and are taking stepa la begin prosecutions. This note of warn ing Is sounded In order thafall may be properly Informed as to the law.
