Salem will entertain progressive boosters from nil parts of the state November 23, 29, 30 in a great development convention. The brightest and best promoters in four states will be present, and addresses will be delivered to boost Oregon. Salem will naturally come in for a great deal of praise and compliment, but our people will have something to do. The city should be cleaned up and decorated, and made to look bright and beautiful for those three days. l Merchants will do their part by showing that Salem is a well equipped trading city in every respect. 1 To this should be added a general spirit of hospitality to all the vinitors by attending the sessions. Let us show them our city, show them our fine business houses and the public institutions of the city. . o LET THE PEOPLE TRY AGAIN FOR FAIRMOUNT PARK. It is not too late for the people to get some kind of a park on top of Falrmount Hill. The fourteen acres on the sidehill has been sold off for a dairy pasture. ' Some of the choicest of the land offered the city for a park has been taken for residences. ' But the city has acquired the block and a half containing the water reservoir. The noble grove of fir trees is still standing, and before it is sacrificed for firewood some effort should be made to secure it for a park. There is no excuse for allowing that grove to be destroyed, al though there are noble souls who will immediately cry graft at even this belated proposition. Fairmount Park would carry .if submitted to the people again. Parks should not be gifts of millionaires, but should be bought with public funds and paid for out of a tax on all property The Capital Journal does not even know who are the present owners of the property, but believes an effort should be made by the city government to secure that property at any fair price. In building a greater and more beautiful Capital City it will not do to expend all our energies on Willson park, Marion park, or even in beautifying Willamette campus. There should be, a few personswho look beyond the old city limits and contemplate the city as it will be extended fifty years ftvm now. The Capital Journal believes the people in their better judg ment would approve a park on the north, the south and east of the city. . The Park Board should consider these matters on a broad basis and inaugurate a policy of an annual tax levy for a park fund, and then have power to act whenever suitable property can be had. Why wait for rich men to die and donate the city parks? o . . PEOPLE DO NOT APPROVE SALARY RAISING. Of the SI measures submitted to the people at the Oregon election 23 were defeated by popular vote. The one against which the largest majority was cast was the bill to give a judge in Raker county $1000 additional salary. That is the opinion the peoplehave of the work of the last leg islature in raising salaries the way they did. More than half the bills passedwere bills to raise salaries, and they had to puss them over the veto of a Democratic governor. They had to strike out the referendum and put on fictitious emergency clauses to keep them from being referred. The way they snowed under the salary raise for that Baker City judge shows what they umld have done ilith the rest'of the grabs. A number of gentlemen .wearing high titles must feel that they are skating on thin ice with the salaries they are drawing. AN ERA OF REFORM IN TAXATION. The people of Portland shouldrejoice that their city tax levy is only six mills. It id true, their valuations have been trebled and quadrupled, but they ought to be thankful. The city engineering department and the street cleaning de partment cost about the same amount Taxes for hundreds of departments are piling up, and all ate multiplying their grafts. , In all department are demands for Increased salary, and the alary business is improving. The times are growing tighter, and the people must realize that they owe a duty to the government.

A prominent member of the legis lature writes The Capital Journal, In response to Ita campaign for a bus! nesa organisation of both houaea to cut out the graft and get down to business along business line. He live In Washington county and says: "It la my purpose to do all In my power to eliminate, ao far aa possible. log rolling and petty Jobs, and the creation of usetess office for mem ber of the legislature er for clerks. ' "I don't know whether five stenog rapher can do the work lu the en ate and ten In the house or not, but the expense on that line will be kept to the limit, and I shall not favor long list of clerk for Job that don't exist, or exist fenly In part. What I hope to be the means of helping to do, 1 to give the state a business ad ministration, bringing to bear on the affairs that come before us, the same ordinary, everyday, common sense that a man, exercise In hi own af fair. Whether that will meet with your approval and tho approval of the people In the state I do not know but that la the way I feel about It. "I have no axe to grind, and there fore expect no one to turn a grind tona for me. I have no enemies to punish and no friends, particularly. to be rewarded. I have made no promise to be fulfilled, except prom ise to thi people of nyr county and torn state, ana those promisee are that their Interests shall be onrefully guarded and no new useless Jobs will be created. "I expect to be In Salem on the 28, 29 or 30th. I am not able at this time to give the exact date, and I would be glad to meet you."

THURSDAY'S GAME SHOULD BE A GOOD OIIE Dr. Sweetland. coach of the Wil lamette University' football team, is not certain of victory on next Thurs day against Pacific University. Pa cific has developed a great deal since the first of the season and she has probably been laying low on pur pose to catch Willamette napping. They have a very clever coach, who has drilled them In trick plays and open work, and It is quite possible that someone may get loose ' on Thanksgiving day. Coach Sweetland la acquainted with all thla sort of "bluff" which Pacific ha been scattering around that she ha no chance against Wil lamette. It la don for the purpose of getting the team here at Salem over confident of victory, and wh n a team get over-confident it haa o great deal to overcome when It comes up against the unexpected. The team here has been working hard to get Into shape by Thursday afternoon. Captain McMaechen had his arm qnlte seriously wrenched In the Multnomah game and will be unable to play on Thanksgiving Day. This Is to be much regretted since the substitute material Is ra ther weak. Raymond Rowland has been practicing In McMaechln's place and he seems to be doing very well. The rest of the team seems to bo In the pink of condition and should render a very favorable ac count of themselves next Thursday afternoon.

Home"THEBIG RED APPLE" NO iubject connected with the develop ment of the West is attracting more attention than the great profits Oregon apple growers are making. Other states produce . , Jar more apples than Oregon, but Oregon leads the world, according to the largest dealers in apples in this country, in quality of product and high prices received for same. 'Oregon is a great apple state, and Salem uhe Willamette Valley) is the original home of the big red apple that is making a stir throughout the world. . The largest producing apple orchard in Oregon is located near Salem, the vicinity of which is also noted for its prunes, cherries, hops and small fruits. Salem is the center of Oregon's prune industry, Oregon producing 90 per cent of the "Italian" prunes grown in this country. Salem is the center of Oregon's hop industry, and Oregon produces 40 per cent of the hops crown in the United States. Salem is known as the "Cherry City of the World," the Wil lamette Valley, of which Salem is the center, originating more commercial varieties of cherries than any other section of this country.
