Salem Steam Laundry 1SO-16A South Liberty Street Phoae M- Al. G. Barnes' big three-ring trained animal circus appears at Sa lem, Saturday, May 6. The Barnes show is the only real wild animal circus on earth, anil requires a train of 18 railways cars, 60 and 70 feet In length, especially constructed for Mr. Barnes to transport the monster collection of wild animals, horses, ponies, paraphernalia and the army of people employed with the show. Over 200 marveloualy trained jungle and forest bred animals are Included in the collection. Every animal rep resented In the Garden of Eden has a descendant in the Al. G. Barnes big three-ring wild animal circus. There is a lion that rides a horse, also bears, monkeys, dogs and goats that give exhibitions of horsemanslp, rid ing ponies dashing around the ring, seals that juggle balls, batons and Ughted torches on horseback; ele phants that act as barbeTs, operate a laundry, stand on their heads, play musical Instruments, and perform a score of tricks; ponies that drill, waltz, Cakewalk, add, multiply and tall the time of day. bears that jug gle, turn somersaults, and imitate drunken men and other funny an tics. Mr. Barnes is exhibiting this year for the first time ever presented In America, a troupe of trained, Royal Bengal tigers. The tiger is the most ferocious of all the wild beasts, and Is the only animal that kills for the pure delight of killing. The only lOther troupe in the world is owned by the Maharajah of Ceylon, and he has never permitted them to leave the Island. In the massive steel arenas which are put up in the three rings, appear performing groups of lions, a mixed group of pumas, leopards and jagu ars, all having a natural antipathy to each other, held under complete control by the trainer. There is an outlaw, man-killing, 'untamed, full grown, jungle-bred African male Hon that has killed! three trainers who have attempted to brefck him. There are performing goats that, with the clowns, give imitations of Mexican bull fights; there are funny donkeys; seals that present a band concert, playing on brass Instruments, beat ing drums, etc. Besides all these per forming animals, there is a menag erie full of rare wild beasts, blrd9 and reptiles, which are carried for exhibition purposes; making in all. the greatest zoological paradise on earth. The Al. G. Barnes big three-ring wild animal circus and exhibition domes fresh from the workshop, ev ery stitch of canvas, covering over six acres of land, all the wardrobes, are brand new; all the dens, cages, bank chariots and baggage wagons were all built during the past win ter, and come fresh from the hands of thei painters, glittering with fresh paint and gold leaf. Mr. Barnes prides himself on pre. sentlng a good, big, clean show. Ev ery courtesy Is extended to ladles and children; they can attend any per formance without an escort, and; be sure of polite attention. Mr. Barnes, personally, supervisee every exhibition. HAI A BUSY SESSION AXI) ACTED UI'OX EVERYTHING IX SIGHT FROM FIRKl'KOOF HOOFING TO FLUSH I XG THE STREET GUTTERS. Declaring that the gutters of the streets are in an unsanitary condl tlon, Sanitary Inspector Long last evening submitted a report on the subject, which concluded with the recommendation that they be flushed at least twice a week Wednesday and Saturday. The report wan referred to the committee on light and water. That brought forth protest from the chairman Councilman Low, who maintained that It properly belonged to the committee on streets. The council, however, declined to take his view of the subject, and referred it to bis committee. Rescinds 'Former Action. A lively little debate occurred when a remonstrance was read from Carey F. Martin against the laying of a cement sidewalk on Liberty street until such time as the proper grade should be fixed. A resolu tlon ordering that the sidewalk be laid had been fathered by Council man Lafky, and he fought against it being rescinded, but it proved un. availing. Upon motion of Councilman Dur bln the specifications for the Instal lation of the Union street sewer were so changed that either vitrified clay or concrete pipes may be used, where the pipe Is 18 inches or less In di ameter. The change was made for the purpose of giving the manufac turers of the latter pipe an opportu nity to enter the field and compete with other companies for a contract for furnishing the pipes. An application by Joe Adolph for permission to reshingle the roof ion the building occupied by the White House restaurant was denied. The denial was based upon the recom mendation of the engineer, who held that the raof should not be covered with anything but a metallic roof or some other kind of material which is fireproof. A resolution directing the con struction of a plank sidewalk on Cottage street from D to Market was passed. Allen Pugh was elected1 chemical engineer and Andy McFarlane en gine driver for the East Salem fire station. Upon motion of Councilman Man ning, chairman of the bridge com mittee, the mayor was instructed to employ a bridge builder at a salary not to exceed $200 a month, to make plans and specifications for the bridges to be built in the city to replace those washed away by floods. . o PREPARING FOR PAVING MORE STREETS PHILADELPHIA MAN COMES TO SALEM FOR HIS BRIDE In her home, at 2305 Maple street, last Tuesday afternoon at five o'clock, Mrs. Mary Updegraff was married to the Rev.

Letter to Man Up North. Followng is a letter sent to an Alberta man-, who wants to buy a fruit farm and come where fur coats are not needed: ; "I have your letter of April 1 3, and have not answered as soon as I might have because I wanted to get some reliable information, and, as it now happens there is something of fering, ''I have a fine farm that can all be put into fruit land, and you can get it on easy terms, and it is the nicest kind of fruit land, and will raise prunes.and does rase them, and there is a prune orchard and apple orchard on the place, "This ranch can be got for $95 per acre, and when it is set out to apples prunes or peaches it will be worth $50 per acre more each year, Land all around it has been or chardized and sells for from $300 to $500 per acre. There is no better opportunity for an investment ,and you could sell off land at these prices as soon as you get it set out and under cultivation. I know of no better investment that a man can make than to buy one pt these old ranches on the Willamette river, where he can get water transportation for his crops, and only two miles and'a half from the Oregon Electric Railroad the Hill Ine from balem to Portland. It woud make you a fine productive home, grow grain, hay, dairy products, nad as fast as you can plat it into fruit you can sell off at two to four times what you pay for it. That is the way this country is going. I am sending you a lot of farmng information and want to add that there are a number of people here from Saskat chawan, andten acre's here are worth more than a thousand up there for productive ness and satisfaction as a place to live. "We go through a whole winter frequently without frost, and have no crop failures, Our country and city are prosperous ,and after living here 22 years I came from Iowa I can honestly and heartily repommend the country to any man who wants a home and prosperity.
