All indications point to a great business year ahead for the Capital City. Salem banks report large deposits from all classes of people, and the lumber business is improving every day. Legislative appropriations were large, and fully two-thirds of the five million dollars called for will be expended at Salem. The thousands of people who depend on public payrolls in city, county, school district and federal institutions will all be prosperous. With extensions of electric lines to Stayton, Silverton and the Oregon Electric south, and a motor line to Independence and Monmouth, and a new bridge across the river, Salem has the greatest future of any city in the interior of the great state of Oregon. Investments in business and residence property at Salem were never so sure of certain advances and large profits as at the present. Salem will be the residence city of the official class. Judge Galloway has plans made for a ten thousand-dollar res idence on South Salem Heights. In a few days the Portland, Railway, Light & Power Company will extend its fifteen-minutecar service south to Salem Heights school. Real estate activity in West Salem is quite marked, and low er taxes over there are quite a factor of development. Salem people on seven principle streets have petitions in for high-class, hard-surface bitulithic pavements. The Capital City will spend not less than half a million dol lars on pavements and sewers this year. Public ownership of the water plant is practically assured,' and, with the installation of a mountain water system, it is an inevitable certainty that hundreds of Portland capitalists will make their homes in this city. While the rate of taxation has increased at Salem, the in crease in property values has been ten times as great. The writer can cite three instances in the advance of property that will convince the most skeptical of the soundness of Salem investments : A half block on South Commercial street, bought for $1000 five years ago, is today worth $5000. The German Society sold a corner the other day for $14,000 which it bought for $8000 only 18 months before. For 45 feet adjoining the Marion Hotel $15,000 is offered that sold si xmonths ago for $10,000. Fifty thousand will be spent enlarging and adding a story to the block owned by the Odd Fellows. Fifty thousand will be. spent by the Salem Brewery Associa tion for a five-story addition. The $100,000 Masonic temple will go up as fast as contract ors can do it. The $50,000 High School addition willb e pushed to early com pletion. , Improvements and progress are not confined to the Capital City, but all over the country are signs of a desire on the part of the people to reach the Capital City. Newberg and Butteville are carrying ' on campaigns to get bridges across the Willamette river, to be in more easy reach of Salem. The eastern portion of Linn county is carrying on a cam paign to get a crossing at Slielburn a direct line of travel from Salem to Scio, Lebanon, Crabtree, Munkers and Brownsville.. A progressive county court has levied a $70,000 tax in this county to build permanent highways. A most up-to-date system of cluster lights is to be installed at Salem. INDUSTRIALS PLEASED WITH RECEPTION UNITED VHtH LEA RID WIRE Redding, Cnllf.. Feb. 27. So pleased wore the 100 members of the lurching I. W. W. army with the welcome given thorn at Kennctt, about 20 miles north of Redding, that thoy have clodded to remain at Kennott until Wednesday to recuper ate before resuming their foot Jour ney to Fresno. When the tired Industrialists reached Kennett, Eagles hall was turned over to them and coiufortuhlo tmnks were made up on the benches, j Sunday afternoon the "army" nine played a game of baseball against one representing the copper smelter employes. only four more days left In which to ballot for United States senator and the situation today has much the ap pearance of a deadlock to the end. Renewed efforts are being made to break It. When the session opened this forenoon, 61 Democrats, which are enough to control the Joint as sembly, had signed a plodge to take five ballots today, Tuesday and Wed nesday and remain In session from Thursday noon until a senator had been elected or the legislature had expired by limitation. Equally dotermlned thnt the Demo crats should not control the Repub licans hold a secret caucus at which they bound themselves not to pair with opponents. This means that the Democrats can hold control of the assembly only from now n by the at tendance of all Its members. o NKW OKLKANS ltlXMXS SI.UUU GIUS TODAY CANNOT BREAK DEADLOCK MONTANA I'NITEU riktl MUKKD WU 1 Helena, Mont.

THE OPEN FORUM The Capital Journal' Invite Public Discussion In This Department Let Both Sides of All Matters Be Folly lb-ought Out It I Not the Purpose of This Newspaper to do the Thinking for It Readers. For the Mall Boys. Ed. Journal: Why not allow the postofflce employes to have a day of rest on Sunday, as well aa the bar keepers, printers and other wage workers, . JUSTICE. Wants the Water. Ed. Journal: la the spirit of fair play let us look wit;, friendly con sideration on the work of the com. mittee composed of Aldermen Dur bln, Lafke and Waring, who are handling the purchase of the Salem water plant. It will be a big thing for this city to get public ownership, aa I am reliably informed that the company's net earnings last .year were $31,000. This committee is going over all the figures to find If Items in the Inventoried have been charged twlrto, and if they can get any reasonable reductions let them get them. But the water company should not be tied up much longer from making needed improvements and extensions of their plant. I am In the suburbs and have waited for two years while the city hag been ne gotiating the purchase. A VOTER. Let Us Sleep. Ed. Journal: Let me protest with Mayor Lachmund against cars run ning on Union street. I have left one street because the Oregon Elec trie trains wake me up as late as 10:30 and as early aa 6:50. The comparison to Fourth street. In Port land, where the Southern Pacific Is still running trains thrugh the heart of the city is not good. That has been going on for .40 years, and Fourth street is one of the best busi ness and residence streets of that city. So Is Twelfth street, but look at the way It drove Alderman Haas out of town. He was compelled to leave a splendid trade and become a physician to get out of the way of the sound of the S. P. trains on Twelfth street, which were making him a nervous wreck, and more of the people wll Igo the same way If more trains are run through our city. Joe Thompson Is an exception. He kicked at the Oregon Electric on High street, but now feels that it was a good thing for the city. The West Salem bridge should cross on State street, and be a wagon bridge m well as for railroads. I hope the mayor will fight for that. The city needs another bridge, as the present one Is liable to fall down at any time. But I have lived on Union street so long, and it is such a quiet, nlrt? resi dence street, b all means let the railroad go somewhere else. UNION FOREVER. Household Remedy Taken in the Spring for Years. Ralph Rust. Willis. Mich, writes: "flood's Sanaparllla haa been a home hold remedy in our home as long as I can remember. I have taken it In the spring for several years. It has no equal for cleansing the blood and ex--filing the humors that accumulate during the winter. Being1 a farmer and exposed to bad weathpr, my sys rrn is often affected, nnd I often take Hood's Saronparilla with good results." Hood's Karpaparllla is Peculiar to It olf. There Is no "Jut as good." M It today in usual liquid form or tn Met s cnllud Sarsata ba ting them do their own thinking. As Jerome Jones says, the people of Ore gon are intelligent and capable of arriving at conclusions on any public matter In due time. Let both sides be heard, and then let us do what we think is right. I am disappointed in the mayor. Two month has passed, and not a step forward has been tak en, except opening South Commercial street, and that Is going to pieces and nothing done to p-otect the property owners. At this rate Silem will fall behind as much as we went ahead in four years previous, and nothing to show but high taxes. But your posi tion Is fair to even give him a chance to make good before passing any crit icism. A. J. C. u MEXICANS HAVE A FIGHT TWENTY KILLED UNITED PBE88 LEASED WIRE. Huachuca, Ariz., Feb. 27. Cour iers arriving here today brought news of a 15-days' siege of Cumurl. pa, Sonora, In which the Eighteenth Mexican Infantry, after being driven from the . town, secured reinforce ments, and returned to thte attack. During the fighting It was estimated that 20 men had been klledl on both sides. Before taking Cumuripa the rebel forces captured Ladura, a small Sonora town 10 miles from Cumudl pa. All traffic on the Yaqul river rail road was Indefinitely suspended today. FOR CONSTIPATION A MEDICINE THAT TOST ANYTHING HUES. DOES XOT UNLESS IT Protecting Officials First. Ed. Journal: I regret business affairs have taken so much of your time that you are not giving us two or three columns a day of the old ringing editorials. . 1 am sure you were right in your protests at the. officialism being the ruling power of thw state, and am sorry Governor West saw fit to cut out the pavilion at the state fair grounds, and let a lot of the bills raising salaries stand. The one county official who should have had his salary raised was not given any Increase County Clerk Allen. The bill to create another as sistant attorney.general should have been vetoed, and the $150,000 for an other building for state officials at the capltol had no merit, In my opin ion. When there are 10.000 people on the strjf- fair grounds and a show er comes up they can hustle Into the cattle barns, nnd take chances of the present shack blowing down on them, Tty your efforts, aa president of the German Society, you hnd enough German-Americans In Salem lust year to fill all the buildings out there to overflowing. That was on the second day of the fair. But both you and the governor are entitled to ! crwllfor holding down the onVl vl i demands some. The bill to raise all the circuit Judges to $4000 a year had , no merit. They ought to get $3000 each and legitimate travel expenses, i That would be fair to all of them, as ' their opinions have about the same i value. Let us get rid of the hum-! bug of officiivls de&wlng hluh nav. i The legislators get $3 a day, and I most of them are not worth that. I j rather admire Senator Patton for not ' Introducing any bills. He was asked to Introduce the West Salem bridge1 frrwdilse, and did It. He committed no offenses on his own motion. Sena-; tor Carson did only what he was asked to do. Next time they will do even better. I doubt If there ts an ! official in the employ of the state who would not bVi g'ad to hold his iob for $2500 or $3000 a year, and then live better than the average business man :r professional man.
