THE MEETING OV THE WATERS.
Thoro la not In the wldo world a valley so sweet
Ab that valo In whoso bloom tho bright waters meet.
O, tho last rays of fooling and Hfo must depart s
Ero tho bloom of that valley shall fade from my heart.
Yet It was not that Naturo had shed o'er tho sceno
Hor purest of crystal and brightest of green:
'Twns not tho soft magic of streamlet or hill,
O, no It was something moro oxqulslto still.
'Twas that friends, tho beloved of my bosom were near, .
Who mado every dear scono of enchantment moro dear,
And who felt how tho boit chnrtnB of Naturo Improve,
Whon wo 8oo them roflocted from looks that wo love.
Swcot valo of Avocalt haw calm should I rost
In thy bosom of shado, with tho friends I lovo best,
Whoro tho storms that wo fcol In this cold world should cease,
And our hearts, llko thy waters, bo mlnglod In peace.

PW CELEBRATED V
SALEM SHOULD TAKE HOLD.
Tho way Salem pcoplo have taken hold of tho ruislng of funds for tho
Y. M. 0. A. shows that what haB boon dono for that enterprise could bo
dono for others.
If Salem pcoplo would tako $50,000 or $100,000 Btock as bonds In
THE HALEM AND FALLS CITY RAILROAD IT WOULD HE IJUILT.
If Salem would do that It would bring an onormous volumo of bushics
Jioro, Btlmulato all linos of nctlvlty, PROPERTY WOULD ADVANCE
AND ALL WOULD HE RENEF1TTED.
Tho si mo would result from tho construction of tho Salem nnd Meha
ma oloctrlc.
Thoro aro COO loggors employed In tho neighborhood of Falls City,
who, with a railroad across tho valloy. would como to Salem onco a month
nt leant.
AT PRESENT ALL THE WEST SIDE COUNTRY IS SHUT OFF FROM
SALEM AS HV A CHINESE WALL.
Dotwoon Salem nnd Shorldnn, nnd Salem nnd McMlnnvlllo thoro Is not
ovon a plnco to wa'tor n team of horses.
Tho Isolation of tho fanning communities is something tcrriblo to
contomplato. TRANSPORTATION ALONE WILL CHANGE THIS CONDI-TION.
WORK OF THE TEXT ROOK COMMISSION.
Tho adoption of textbooks by tho stnto commission six years ago was
a clean, hUHlnoHS-UIco transaction.
Tho people woro not Jobbed. Education was not degraded. Privnto in
terests woro not appropriated. All competitors woro fairly treated.
That uilop'tlon reduced prices of toxthooks, saved tho pcoplo $106,000
in nix years, nnd broko up n ruthless nnd demoralizing monopoly.
Tho commission 1b practically composed of tho unmo men, and thoy
ought to bo ablo to improvo their work by galnod oxporionco.
Ono gront gain will bo to provont prlcos from bolng advanced.
So mo publishers will make pleas of Increased cost of labor and materi
als. Hut Improved mnchiuory for pinking textbooks will .offset Increased
cost of production.
It Is bollovod by many that thoro conld well bo a fow less books
possibly ono Iohs In language, ono loss In arithmetic and ono less in geog
jnphy. Many parsons arc dubious about tho practical valuo of a textbook on
physiology.
Chlldrou aro about an well off if thoy don't know too much about
tholr organs.
Ati Thomas Carllnlu said, tho Htomnch U loniothlng you aro bast off

KTItUCK A FEW MOIIE SNAGS.
Tho tttroot I'ommlttoo on rovlMiiK. its specifications for tho Stnto stroet
iiuprovoiitont found sovoral clauses had been Injoctod that, whon tnkon in
to thu courts would dufuut tho whole Improvement.
Who put thorn thoro? What woro thoy put In for? IX WHOSE IN
TEREST WERE THEY INSERTED'.'
It was pointed nut that whoovor put them in know that tho supremo
court had already decided thoso points,
Tho rod ult U another delay. Tho cIuuhoj had to bo resclndod. Tho
Bpeolllcatlons will havo to bo drafted ovor again.
Thuso methods of dofontlng public liuprovomonts aro so small nnd
cheap ami nnaty they will not boar dUcu&Blon.
HOW LONG MILL THIS CITY PUT UP WITH THEM?
How much longoi- aro needed improvements to bo delayed by surrep
titious methods of men who will not do their work in tho opon, but who
seek nothing but DELAY, DELAY, DELAY, TO FINALLY KILL THE IM
PROVEMENT. What right havo those obstructionists, through tholr sccrotly hired
men to change public records after specifications havo onco boon ndoptod?
Is It not a crime against tho community to tuna thwart tho will of tho
potltlonors, who roally wish 3tato Btroot Improvod?
TIumo Hoorot ami malevolent obstructionist tactics will bo kept up until
tho Capital City strikes a anng that will put It out of tho race for dovol
opmuut. Already three- cities nsplro to surpass Salem In progress, population and
ontorprlao Astoria, Pendleton nnd Eugene.
If tho weak souls that aro dying of atrophy and Inanition could only
hlo thomsolvos to tho peaceful ahoros of nnothor world without putting
tho kibosh of dry-rot upon this fair community.

Tho chief of police of ono of tho
larger eastern cities, speaking of city
parks said: "Spooning is all tho
parks aro good for!" Now by all the
grass that Nebuchadnezzar did not
eat, wouldn't that jar you?
Why bless tho dear ignorant heart
of him, ho ought to know that a
placo Biiitablo for spooning, Is fit for
a bay window nt tho top of tho ladder
that leads to paradiso. Spooning is
one of tho most delightful Incorporeal
things in tho world, and Is so utterly
lovely and distracting that tho femi
nine pronoun, "She," belongs to her,
Instead of "It." S' o was discovered
by tho Goddess of Spring, blessed by
tho moon, perfumed by tho flowors,
filled with music by tho birds, mado
dreamful by falling waters, clothed
in tho misty robes of starlight, taught
to whisper by tho dryads and to
laugh by tho Naiads. Sho was given
beauty by Venus, charm by all tho
Graces, and sent down blossom
crowned to earth with tho klssos of
tho Zephyrs on her red lips, tho honey
of Hyrcanum on hor tongue,
heaven's own light in hor oyes, tho
dearest, dainties, sweetest, stickiest
nrtlclo that over graced tho earth
outsido of a barrol of Now Orleans
molnssos.
Tho very namo "Spooning" sug
gests something closer than a bro
ther.

to Evo in thp Garden of'Edon, and
sho gavo him Just ono goo-goo, tho

tho shado of tho old applo troo as
soon as tho moon camo up.
History sacred and profnno shows
it has boon a spoonoy old world over
slnco. Perhaps ono of tho grcntest
Inducements to spooning Is tho dan
ger lurking In It, for it Is ns deadly
as u buzz saw, or tho business end
of a mulo, or an Oregon legislature,
or any othor nboslutoly Irresponsible
thing.
Jacob had' n delightful tlmo for ho
spooned Rachel for aovon yonrs, and

David spooned tho spoon-holdor,

quonco, that has novor boon ovon
approached for tho boauty of ltd
imagery or tho richness nnd grandeur
of Its word painting. Samson spoon
ed Dolllnh, but sho was a powtor
spoon and tho plating soon woro
through. Samson got tho worst of
It, of course.
Anthony spoonod tho red-haired
Cloopatra nnd loBt both nn omplro
nnd his life. Hoineo and Juliet woro
Just a pnlr of dosort spoons, and
Dosdomonn snuffed out hor glnd
young llfo by spooning a snddlo color

John Aldon trlod to do a llttlo ln

Her Guess.
During tho courso of a geography
lesson recently tho teacher nskod tho
following questien:
"Who can toll mo what usoful nr
tlclo wo got from tho whalo?"
"Wiiniobono, promptly replied a
boy.
"Right. Now who knows what wo
got from tho seal?"
"Scaling wax," shouted a llttlo
girl. Harper's Magazlno.
Rcmnrknblo Rescue.
That truth Is stranger thnn Action,
has onco moro been demonstrated in
tho llttlo town of Fodora, Tonn., tho
rosldonco of C. V. Poppor. Ho writ-a:
"I wna in bed, entirely disabled with
homorrhngos of tho lungs and throat.
Doctors failed to holp mo, and all
hopo had Hod whon I bogan taking
Dr. King's Now Discovory. Thon in
Btnnt rollof came. Tho coughing
soon ceased; tho bleeding diminish
ed rapidly, and In throo wooks I was
ablo to go to work." Guaranteed

Chagrined by tho discovery that
they woro smoking and chewing a
brand of tobneco that was mado up
largely of alfalfa a dozen fishermen
on ono of tho traps In tho Sound a
few days ago emptied their tobacco
pouches Into tho gulf and decided to
purchase tholr smoking material at
tho foed store and to buy It by the
balo or olso got a different brand of
tobacco. N
That their "tobacco" contained 63
per cent alfalfa was loarned from a
govornment report giving tho result
of analysis mado by government
chomists. Tho othor Ingredients giv
en In tho report nro tobacco, 27 per
cent; arsenic, G per cent; opium, l
per cent, and fluid, 3 per cent.
This was thought to bo a lit com
pound for tho fishes, and tho pouch-
os woro emptied. Several times on
lato trips to tho traps tho engineer
on tho tugs has told tho boys thoy
woro ordorlng a brand of Virginia
flno cut that was raised in tho hay
fields of Eastern Washington. It was
reasonably good tobacco, anyway,
nnd no ono thought moro of tho en
gineer's Btipposed Jest.
Tho arrival of tho report from
which tho onglneor had gathered his
Information prosontcd a moro sor
lous aspect, and now tho product of
tho hay Holds la floating out to tho
ocean. Tho flshormon did not scorn
to caro about tho arsenic and opium,
but woro chagrined to discover that
thoy had boon deceived In happy plpo
dreams that woro caused chiefly by
burning cattle food. Thon tho thought
of buying by tho ounco a product
that could bo purchnsod by tho balo
was llko adding tho final proverbial
straw to tho ovorburdoncd backs.
Tho onglneor caused so much dis
turbance In that camp that ho will
not attempt to enlighten any moro of
tho trappers, ns ho Bald thoro was
onough lamentation in that ono cnmP
to last until after a Fourth of July
celebration.
