A PLAN TO KEEP INSURANCE MONEY AT HOME.
iVSamuel, manager of the Oregon Life of Portland, puts
up a sfrong argument to keep money paid for Insurance at
home
in.ni$&Qfi of an eastern company says s'end your insurance
money oast and then when you want to borrow money
those eastern companies will lend it to you.
Mr. Samuels shows up the absurdity of this proposition,
He says "Keep the life insurance money In Oregon and
then It can be loaned here and the interest, kept here,"
That is the way to upbuild a greater Oregon.
In nearly every state there is built up one great home life
insurance corporation.
Why not encourage Mr. Samuel to build up the Oregon
Pfe? . .
He was'for many years .the agent for an' eastern life in
surance company.
Ho says he could never put up a loan good enough 'for
them.
It was too far from "Noo Yorick' 'to lend capital for the
development of Oregon.
It is not too far to take millions out of Oregon for eastern
life insurance premiums.
Oregon was not too far from New York to have New
York banks hold Oregon deposits,
Mr. Samuels pred'ets that the time will como when an
Oregon life Insurance company will have more business in
force in Oregon than any eastern company.
That day Is not so far off, either, in his opinion.
Eastern banking houses and eastern life Insurance com
panies have yet to learn that all sound business principles
are not monopolized east of the Rockies.
A SALEM LADY WHO
KNEWJT WOULD RAIN
SKEPTICAL NEWSPAPERS ARE STILL DOUBTFUL ABOUT
PRAYER AND SAY IT WOULD HAVE RAINED ANYWAY
A Intly called at Tho Capital Jour
nal offlco Saturday to loavo a notice
for tho church sorvlco at their
'church. Sho asked for tho editor nnd
wanted to know If ho was Col. Ilofor,
who advocated that prayers bo of
fered up to break tho long drouth,
Ho admitted that ho was the colonol.
"Well," Bho said, "I bollovo In prnyor.
i told my daughter, when I saw tho
notice In your paper, 'Now you will
toe, tho drouth Ik at nn end nnd It
will rain,' nnd sure enough, It did."
Tho nowspnpora nro still full of

bringing rains with 24 hours after
starling In to got rain by prayor.
Tho nowspnpor did not do tho pray
ing. It only suggested that thnso
whoso business It Is to pray and hold
prnyer meetings go to work on prac
tical lines and pray for something
that was than badly needed. It Is
now admitted that whtlo tho rains
did n llttlo harm to hay, the goneral
effect was worth millions to Oregon
and has saved tho spring grain and
potato and small fruit crops.
Tho Condon Globe says: "Uro.

It Is qutto certain that tho pcoplo of

Fairmount Park will Include tli3 grove of big trees which is used for popular picnic grounds by the churches, Sunday
schools, lodges and societies. The total acreage is between thirty and forty, and with the big concrete reservoir of the
water company that will be acquirer! by the city when mountain water is brought to the Capital City, will make one
of the finest public pleasure grounds in the state.
BUY A PARK WHILE LAND IS CHEAP.
On Monday, August 2nd, this city will hold a special e.ection to issue $65,000 of refunding bonds to take the
place of some city bonds that mature at that time. At the same time will be submitted the question whether this city
shall acquire a tract of land known as Fairmount Hill, of about thirty acres, for the purpose of making that beautiful
wooded height a public park.
The option of the citv at present prices expires on Aujust 3d, and that magnificent grove of noble firs will be
doomed to destructoin as sqre as we let this opportunity pas to acquire that land for a park.
There is not another similar natural park site left as c;ose into the city as Fairmount Park will be. The land con
sists of four blocks offered th2 city by Rev. H. B. Elworthy (48 lots) and three blocks by J. M. Brown of Silverton (36
lots) at the nominal price of about $200 per lot, or $17,000 for the whole tract, including fourteen acres owned by El
worthy on the hillside, which carries the park site down to the county road on the west.
Not counting the 14 acres not plotted, the lots offer jd the city are all of them worth from $250 to $300 each
and are actually selling for those .prices. This property for park purposes cannot again be secured for this price at any
time in the future. The reservoir site of a block and a half is completely surrounded by a tier of blocks that are now
offered the city, and when the water plant becomes city property that reservoir, costing as much as the citv will nav
for the whole park, will be the center of the park.
Will you not help us to give Salem the first public park, ? playground for the children, a picnic ground for every
body, and a spot of wonderful natural beauty that will always be an advertisement of the public spirit and enterprise
of the Capital City of Oregon? H
