WILL HUNT AND FISH.
Salora Business Men Went to the Alsea
Country Yesterday for an Outing.
AllMiny, Or.. May II. (Special
to The Capital Journal.) K. Cooko
1'jitton, of Salem, a prominent mom
bor of tho Klks, nnd n load
ing stationer of the Capital City, no
oompauled by W. P. George, 'of that
city, passed through Albany yesterday
afternoon on tlioir way to tho buy for
a few woekrt' stay. They expected to
go to tho Alson couutry for a fow days'
Ashing, and later go down tho const nnd
hunt and Ash wherever their luck prom
ised best. Mr. Patton carried n riflo
nnd enough Ashing tucklo to dopopulate
the streams, and ho promised tear
ttoaks for all his frleuds. Last year,
while hunting in the mountains near
Crater Lake, accompanied by Attorney
General Crawford, Mr. Patten was lost
at ono tlmo and wulkod for a day or
so in n circle hunting for his camp. Ho
Aually la,td down to sleep, exhausted
from his search, and when ho awoke he
found himself within hailing distance
of tho camp, tho fog having previously
hidden it. He thinks ho has learned
enough woodcraft since thon to provent
a similar occurrence.
OASVOZlXAi
SALEMITE
APPRECIATES
HIS TOWN
AFTER SEEING MANY STATES
SINGS OREGON'S PRAISES
What a Little Comparison Will
Do for Our State
A Salem gentleman who recently
stnrtcd on a trip for tho cast WTite
a very interesting letter to a friend
from which Tho Journal Is allowed to
mako somo excerpts. Among other
things ho says, writing from a South
ern Pacific train somowhere south of
Los Angeles:
"You may hovo heard about earn
ing your bread by tho sweat of your
brow, but it Is somewhat now to writo
a letter with tho sweat rolling over
my body as it is today. Talk nbout
frying that would bo cool. This is
ontiroly too hot for nn old Orcgonian,
and I would not como down hero ngntn
for big money, oxcept thnt business
calls mo this way. I never knew be
fore how near heaven Salem was or
oven tho cntiro Western Oregon, and
when somo of those half-fried pcoplo
como out to tho Portland fair, I think
there will bo many n llttlo ship plan
mado, for returns to tho garden spot
of the world. I run ncross it grent
many who nro going, somo renting tholr
homes for the summer, to visit tho
Lewis nnd Clark fair. I had thought
on former trips thnt 1 saw a fow places
which impressed me rather a por cent
or two nbovo Salum, but tho further
I get on this trip, tho less tho percent
ngo sets, and Salem tins several to tho
good now.
"The only troublu with Salem and
surroundings, if thoro is any trouble
at nil, is good roniN, that's all. I have
noticed on his trip that the sections
which nre tho most prosperous, tho cit
ies nnd towns which lmvo grown most,
aro thoso which lmvo good country
roads and good streets. Thcso two
propositions aro tho first rcqulslto to
doublo tho Salem population. Wo cer
tainly havo the beauty, yards, Inwns,
and opportunity for parks which rant
bo surpassed anywhere. 1 know this,
for I havo been nt many of tho places
recently whero the ohiof boast of the
place is, beautiful homos nnd parks."
In another pnragruph ho writes: "I
am writing this lcttor on n beautifully
paved street. Street enrs up-to-dato,
and everything fino which -0 years ago
when I visited hero nt nearly tho sumo
spot, wus fur out in tho country, but
now thnro aro houses of nil kinds, and
business is several miles beyond. After
Investigating tho surroundings I cun't
see what maintains the place nnd there
nro a dozen hotter plucott around Sa
lem, than nro here, but beforo I for
get, street enrs are the thing, you can't
have too many. Thoy mnki business,
they mako a town. When a town gets
too many, tho companies will quit of
their own accord, but very fow over
quit, nnd as long as thu street enrs
run, thero is money in circulation nnd
general prosperity. Loop lines nro
very successful nnd great population
builders.
"I am going to tnko a shlnglo now
nnd sernpo tho perspiration off my
body and. try to get Into my clothes,
nnd hunt u cool bcor joint for ono
schooner, so good bye. Start tonight
for Chicago. "
In a later letter from Chicago this
same gontlomnn writes: "Tho situ,
atlou hero is simply terrible, I was
obliged to dp n llttlo shopping yester
day and bnpponod "aovoral times to
get into placoa whero things lookod
serious. As I write, a newspaper extra
comos into tho hotel. Headlines tako
up nearly tho ontiro page I mean tho
typo ii nearly tho size of the page,
announcing tho situation is at a crisis.
Tho strlkors are using explosives. And
ns I finish tho sentence a long string of
wagons nro Kissing my window with
equally as long a string of policemen
guarding thorn. Tho drivers aro sup
plied with clubs ami revolvers iu their
pockets. Occasionally you will notice
a driver dodgo a inissilo of somo sort,
but you can't toll whoro it comes from.
It may como from tho top of tho build
ing or out of some window, but you
can't fiml the miscreant liimsolfv I
novor realised before what an-rtlfi
clal llfo the great part of city people'
live. I havo sometimes thought West
ern Oregon slow, but I now reallzo
more than over that the Salcmitos are
tho real, livers who enjoy life, and
thoso city pcoplo merely exist, yes
hardly exist, they ovaporato away
hero. In the short tinio I havo been
here, I find in conversation bow num
bers of peoplp who deplore the life
thoy aro compelled to live, while thoy
know of better places and many of
them havo Oregon, Washington or Cal
ifornia in mind, but can't get away.
clso for I .wis always under tho Im
pression that thcso peoplo know no bet
ter, or profcrred living hero to any
where else, but that's not true. An
elegant appearing woman in ono of
tho largo stores who waited on mo,
almost crlod whllo a racket of strikers
and poltco was going on outside. Sho
como here from tho west with glitter
ing promises, nnd her sister was nlso
to come, but sho telegraphed her to
remain at home, and after payday bIio
Is also going back. It seems to inn
furthor, tli'ut peoplo nro not ns crnzy
for olty llfo ns in former yrnrs, and I
think tho time is rapidly approaching
when they will spread out into thn
newer countries. It is really 'ton bad
that pcoplo who live in Biich places,
beautiful places llko Salem, that they
do not appreciate them more. I would
sooner bo a lamp post in Salem, than
rldo in an nutomobllo in Chicago. I
mot a gentleman at my hotel hero yes
terday who says that ho knows that
tho electric lino will bo built from
Oregon City to Salem Insldo of a yenr.
Ho is h railroad man, and seems to
know whereof he Bpenks. Ho volun
teered this information."
This lotter closes with .somo very
npprcclntivo remarks about Salem nnd
Oregon. The writer hopes to writo fur
thor, nnd Tho Journal may give his
additional views on somo matters.
Doafneas Cannot Bo Cured
By local applications, ns thoy cannot

There is only ono way to euro deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of tho Eus
tachian Tube. Whon this tubo Is in
flamed you havo n rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, deafness is tho result, and
unless tho inflammation enn bo taken
out nnd this tubo restored to its normal
condition, hearing will bo destroyed for
over; nino'enscs out of ten aro caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but nn
Inflamed condition of tho mucous sur

and Through Canyons to the
Interior of Idaho.
That wealth, culture nnd tho pursuit
of progressive ideas do not follow tho
lino of tho railroads exclusively was
proven by u very remnrkablo purchase
recently mniln by Mr. Leo Ilurcli, n
prominent uud wealthy mining mnn of
Garden City, Idaho.
The purehnso was no less than n
costly Aeollnn Orchestrella, ii hnndsnmn
Wober piano and n Motrostylo Pianola,
all embodying the latest and most up
proved ideas of tho Weber Aeolian
Company, tho largest, wealthiest nnd
most progressive manufacturers of
musical Instruments in tho world.
Beforo reaching their destination,
Mr. Burch's hnndsomo home at Oardon
City, Iduho, thoy had to journey over
tho mnuntnlus from Bolso, a distance of
over 00 miles, of vory devious, rough
roadway.
Probably nowhere nro instruments of
this character moro appreciated thnn
nt plncos remote from musical centers.
Mr. Buroh, who wns ono of tho earliest
purchasers of tho Pianola, when it wns
first introduced in tho West, ofton found
himself nt a loss in interpreting a com
position, nnd, whllo dissatisfied with his
own Interpretation, could find no better
nuthorlty, ho was exceedingly glad to
avail himself of the opportunity to se
cure tho Metrostyle Pianola, which
furnislios an absolute guido to inter
pretation. Tho Orchestratod Muslo Bolls, recent
ly arranged for the Aeolian Orchestrollo
is tho means of directing the proper
use of tho stops,' so as to produce tho
orchestral ofTects intended for tho com
position. Kilcrs Piano House, exclusive dealers
In theso high clasM instruments in tho
northwest, is now having u most ex
traordinary demand for them, nnd also
for tho Pianola Piano, which combines
iu a single case a piano and Metro
stylo Pianola, the famous Weber piano
being one of tho makes with which tho
Mctrostylo Pianola is thus comblnod,
So successful has this combination
proven that tho Pianola Piano is called
"the first complete piano."
All theso instruments are purchas
able in yery moderate monthly install
