No one can take a drive out through the suburbs of Salem without coming to the conclusion that the Capital City or Oregon is going ahead very rapidly. Hundreds of new houses are under construction and in the process of completion. This i3 not confined to any one section of the city, but is gen eral. $A $250,000 sewer system, that should have been built ten years ago, is under construction, and will be completed this year. Many streets are being graded and paved, although unneces sary delays are going to leave a lot of street work unfinished over the winter. Thousands of homes are beingimproved with sidewalks, park ing, and planting of shrubs and flowers. It is to be regretted that the construction of bridges has been delayed, and it seems probable that the city will go . without bridges for another year. Many of the principal streetswill be closed to traffic over the winter on account of this fact. The "do littles and do nothings," as they are aptly called by the mayor, in the council and out of it, are responsible for these drawbacks. There is to be another bond election for bridges, and these ob stacles to the development of thecity may be removed. The "do littles and dQ nothings" have also had their innings in dealing with the water problem. While towns like Medford and Eugene have gone ahead and got water and lighting plants installed, the city of Salem is still "negotiating." The conservatives have exhausted every resource to delay public ownership of water in Salem. In the meantime the city has expanded in ten years from 4500 to 15,000 population. We are putting in a sewer system that will create from 500 to 1000 additional water consumers. All these facts make the property and the plant of the Salem Water Company more valuable, and still the "do little and do nothings" hesitate about acquiring the property. Enterprising citizens of North Salem are initiating a measure to put in a well and pumping system to furnish water, the plants to cost about $200,000. With the growth of the city going on in every direction, with every citizen favoring progress, with every councilman elected upon a progressive platform, there should be an end to the dila tory and holdup policies pursued in public matters. Thi3 applies to corporation and individuals, and to the gener al policies of the city government. With the splendid enterprises of the mass of our citizens, it is inexcusable for those in public position to place obstacles in the way of rational development. We have cited Eugene and Medford, and wish to call attention in conclusion to what the city of Tacoma is doing. The monthly statement published by the city government shows the following result of public ownership of lighting and water plants. Total expenditures for the month of February, 1911, $34, 232.42. Receipts, $50,130.60, or a net revenue to the city of about $16,000 per month. With the extension of the Salem sewer system, the water rates of this city will become a very valuable source of revenue, whether it is managed by the city or the private corporation. o HOP BUYERS GOOD FOR SOMETHING. It is well known that hop buyers are good fellows, but it was not known that they were good for anything in particular aside from their business. They are considered to be good business men, and to be ag gressive at times, and to take chances on winning, however, but they had never been tried in a public position until Louis Lach mund was elected mayor of Salem. Mayor Lachmund has not only proven himself an aggressive mayor, but he has accomplished several results for the welfare of the Capital City. For one thing, he has established the impression that he is absolutely sincere in his expressions, and in the attitude he takes on any matter. The city of Salem is probablyas free from gambling and other vices as it has ever been in the whole history of the town. Under his administration the Illihee club bar was closed on Sunday, the same as any other bar in the city. Mayor Lachmund is also progressive in that he is not afraid when he has made a mistake to clear himself and make it right. While he is determined, persistent and tenacious, and loves to draw out the man opposed to hi m in an argument, he still tries to get his mind open to information on the other side.

VALEXTIXE, WHO CAME HERE BUT A SHORT TIME AGO FROM OHIO, AXD HAD JUST PURCHASED A BEAUTIFUL HOME IS CALLED AWAY. H. E. Valentine, 62, a prominent politician, of Ohio, died at his home, corner of Market and Capitol streets, at 11 o'clock last night. Death was unexpected, and was due to a clot of blood forming on the heart as a re sult of a varicose 'vein. Mr. Valen tine had been confined to his bed for the last two weeks, but nothing serious was anticipated as the result of his illness. He was born In Crawford county Ohio, April 8, 1859. He was elected mayor of Bucyrus, Ohio, on the Dem ocratic ticket for three successive terms, and served as state senator from Crawford county Ohio, for two terms. He completed his last term as mayor about two years ago. He also served as city engineer of Bucy rus for seven years. When not hold ing public office, Mr. Valentine en gaged in farming. He was a promi nent member of both the Elk and Eagle lodges. He is survived by his widow and three children, a boy two and one half years old and a girl of 13, re siding here, and a married son, Al len G. Valentine, living near Madison, Ohio. Funeral arrangements have been postponed pending a reply to a mes sage sent to Allen Valentine last night. ' Mr. Valentine with his wife and two young children arrived In Salem last summer. He purchased a beau tiful home on the Boulevard in North Salem, erected a modern poultry house, and had Just completed a small store adjoining his residence In which he had intended to engage in the retail grocery business. The death of Mr. Valentine is un usually sad, in view of the fact that the family are practically strangers here and far from relatives and friends, Mrs. Valentine Is left to mourn the unexpected death of hus band and father. A DOIT A PLAN TO CHECK riLFERIXG For 'the purpose of ridding the state institutions of what are termed "undesirable employes,'' an agree ment has been made between the dif ferent superintendents whereby they agree to advise each other of those discharged from the Institutions be cause of bad conduct, and the first one to act in pursuance to the agree ment was Superintendent Tlllinghast, of the deaf mute school, when, Satur day afternoon he advised the super intendents of the other institutions that certain female attendants had been appropriating sheets and other articles of value from the Bchool. The names of the women were filed by the superintendents notified, and it will be impossible for them to se cure employment at any one of the state institutions. It is believed by the superintendents that the plan will put a stop to much of the" petty pilfering which has been going on at the institutions, and that it will do much to bring the general conduct of the employes up to a higher stand ard.

MODERN HAIR DRESSING tasplajed havoc with the tresses of the fair sex, and druggists everywhere com ment on the fact that they are selling large quantities of sage for making the old-fashioned "sage tea," such as was used by our grandmothers for promoting the growth of their hair and restoring its natural color. The demand for this well fcnown herb for this purpose has been so great that one manufacturer has taken advantage of the fact, and has placed on the market an ideal "sage tea," contain ing sulphur, a valuable remedy for dan druff and scalp rashes and irritations. This preparation, which is called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, Is sold by all leading druggists for 50 cents and $1 a bottle, or will be sent direct by the Wyeth Chemical Company, 74 Cortlandt St., New York City, upon receipt of price.
