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

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

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.

Strike on Second Ledge.
Another rich strlko has been made
on Suckor creek, news of which
reached Portland today In a message
from Tim Donovan, a Minonapolls
man, who was among the first to go
to tho now district, and who Is ono of
tho partners with Philip S. Bates and
A. L. Morris In some of their holdings.
Tho message Is vory brief, and does
not give any details, except that It is
on a parallel ledgo with tho ono on
which tho Brlggs discovery was made.
It Is addod that, to all appearances,
tho find Is as rich, If not a larger de
posit than tho original strike. Tele
