The Marion Hotel company shows total receipts for the month of June of $6528.80, andshows surplus earnings to date of $5091.28. There is still $5250 of treasury stock not sub scribed for, and which Bhould be taken up by citizens interested in having a first-class hotel at Salem. There will be a handsome dividend at the end of the first year's business at the present rate, and the stock will be worth a premium. Salem can boast of having the finest f.nd most modern and up-to-date hotel of any city in the Northwest for its size. The sixty thousand-dollar armory, a new Southern Pacific depot, twenty-two miles of paved streets, and reconstruction of the street car line, are assets of prosperous, progressive, great er Salem. MADE IN OREGON. The multiplicity and diversity of products made in Oregon are not as well known to the average resident, or business man, for that matter, as they should te. ' Here in Oregon we manufacture perhaps ninety per cent of the average requirements of our citizens, but comparatively few realize the fact. "Made in Oregon" should be the slogan of every citizen. Every dollar spent for home goods remains at home, and the spender gets back at least a portion of his money in one way or another every time he buys a "Made in Oregon" product. Oregon Is destined to be one of the great manufacturing states in the Union, "but the time it will require for her to be in the foremost rank of manufacturing states would be greatly short ened if our people would make it a portion of their daily duties first to inquire if the goods they are buying are "Made in Ore gon." We have factories in this state which today are struggling for existence, and which would be running along smoothly, em ploying many more men and women if each man, woman and child in the state would insist on having the home product. It is not asked that our people buy "Made in Oregon" goods in preference to goods made elsewhere, unless the home product is equal in quality, appearance and price to the same goods made elsewhere. But even the casual investigation of our citizens will show that our manufactories in most lines are turning out goods to day that equal any in the country, and the Manufacturers' asso ciation only asks that when such goods are offered that they be given the preference. ', 'This leads to another important phase of the question. ' The support of homo industry is the duty of every citizen. Wo live by the interchange of trade. There is small need indeed for the people of Oregon (o go out side of their state for the everyday requirements of life, and if the Oregon people would fysist on "Made in Oregon" goods being sold them, retail dealers everywhere would keep up their stock to meet the demands of their trade. Cities and states are built up by the pay-rolls within the state. , Property values are kept up by the pay-rolls of the factories. Farm values are kept up by the demands for farm products from the cities, the manufacturing centers. The whole problem is one which even casually studied will prove to any citizen and to every man, woman and child within, the state that his support of Made in Oregon" goods means' that his awn prosperity will be greater, It is a "wheel within a wheel" proposition. Insist on "Made in Oregon" goods. The factories are the life ;.f our cities. The more factories we have, tho more people are employed, and greater becomes the prosperity not only of tho cities, but of the rural districts, for the factory supported cities must depend upon the agricultural districts for their food supplies, and largely for, their raw products. Tho home manufacturers depend upon the people, and the people depend upon the home manufacturers. The consistent support of home industries and the persistent demand for "Made in Oregon" goods means increased pay-rolls, which ,in turn, will be to the advantage of the farmer, and all other producers of the necessities of life. Years of Suffering Catarrh and Blood Disease -Doctors Failed to Cure. Miss Mabel F. Hawkins, 1314 Lafay ette Ft., Kort Wayne, Intl., writes: "i'vr three years 1 w;,s troubled with catarrh and blood disease. I tried sev eral doctors and a dozen different rem edies, but none of lh m did me .any good. A friend, told me of Hood's Sar eaparllla. I took two bottlej of this medicine and was as weil and strongf as e'w-r. I feel like a different person and recommend Hood's to any one suf fering from catarrh."

Scores of bills for salaries for em ployes of the state Institutions for which warrants have been lssuedbut which are not fllable because they lack the signature of ex-State Treas urer Steel have been discovered by Secretary of State Olcott and In bringing up the files of the past ad ministration and starting those of his own he Is puzzled as to what to do with them. Ex-state Treasurer Steel, it seems, while serving as an official for the state of Oregon with offices at Salem, spent most of his time at Portland. Whenever his signature was wanted to a bill It was generally necessary to watt for him, and the bills In tiuestlon are still waiting for him. Certain It Is that no other officer can sign them and It Is doubtful now that Steel Is out of office, whether he can legally sign them, and as with out the signatures of the ex-treasurer they are not (liable, the secretary does not know what disposition to make of them. , ii ' Are for Large Amounts. There are 37 bills payable from the general fund and despite the lack of Steel's signature, npprovlng them, warrants wera drawn In their pay ment. The maVr portion of them run Into severer hundred , dollars, and some go over the thousand mark. The largest salary bill without the slgnnture of the ex-treasurer is the bill for salaries for the asylum. This bill was for last December, nnd amounts to $9,773. Another targe bill relates to the hatchery fund of the master fish warden's department. This Is for tiie month of July, of last year and amounts to $814.66. An other is for the feeble minded Insti tute and Is for the month of Septem ber, and amounts to $1,856. Notary Commissions Signed. ' Just recently Secretary of State Olcott had an official whose time of office expired leaving several hun dred notarial commissions unsigned, come to the capltol building and sign them so that they might be (liable. The duty of signing them at the time they were issued, seems to have been shifted from one person In the office to another until when It reached the Inst one and there being none fur ther to shift the duty to, it went un done. Just as to whether an official after passing out of office could sign these commissions seems to be a legal guestldn which la, well a question. ' o AN IMMENSE PETITION SENT TOPRESIDENT I'D HT LAND CITIZENS HUM. MOI S IN ASKING THE GOVERN. MEN T TO MINE AM) SELL ALASKA COAL. P!lTtt) LEAKED WIHI. Portland, Or., August 2. The first batch of petitions, demanding that the federal government shall open, mine and sell at cost Alaskan coat, will be forwarded to Washington Monday, according to those- who are promoting the movement In Portland today. Four thousand four hundred names will be appended to the first petitions to go east. More than 600 petitions are being Circulated and are being readily signed. The chamber of commerce and the banker declined to sign the petition. The majority of big business men said they favored the leasing system Instead of the proposition to have the government do its own mining. There is no open opposition to the movement here on the part of big business concerns. 4 STATE NEWS. ; , Ex-Congresaman A. .0. Ellis Is out as a candidate for v a 1 succeed Senator Bourne.

ROCK PILE AUTHOR OF "THE JUNGLE" GETS SENTENCE FOR PLAYING BALL ON SUNDAY ITS 1 DOSE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE BUT BE DOESN'T LIKE IT. (united riran leased rtnE.l Wilmington, "Del., August 2.

Following an enforced bath, Sin clair and his associates were put to work on the rock pile and no mercy was shown them. Sinclair, wild with rage, threatened to insist on the en lorcement of the blue laws which forbid every manner of business on Sunday.

FIRE DID NOT LEAVE THE MEN WITHOUT WORK DARKE! I HE ill A Little Sage and Sulphur Makes Gray Hair Vanish A Remedy for All HairTroubles Who does not know the value ot we nnd sulphur for keeping the hair dark, soft, glossv and in good condition? As a matter of fact, sulphur is a natural ele ment of hair, and a deficiency of it in the hair is held by many scalp specialists to be connected with loss of color and vitality of the hair. Unquestionably, there is no better remedy for hair and scalp troubles, especially premature gray ness, than snge and sulphur, if properly prepared. The Wyeth Chemical Com pany of New York put np an Mcnl rem edy of this kind, called Wvcth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, and author ize druggists to sell it under guarantee that the money will be refunded If it fails to do exactly as represented. This preparation is offered to the public at fifty cents a bottle, and is recommended and sold by all druggists. Special agent J. C. Perry, Druggist, Salem, Oregon. HUBBARD Springfield, Aug. 2. In spite of the fact that 250 men were thrown out of employment by the buring of the Booth-Kelly mill, not one of these men todny Is without work or Is unable to get It, according to aj statement issued by the authorities! here today. The Booth-Kelly com pany Is taking care of every man with a family, and places are made I for them in the other mills or camps. In addiion to this fact Springfield today is short of labor. A bulletin board In front of an employment bureau asks for 15 men to work for the Oregon Power company; 100 la borers are wanted by the Southern Pacific company at Natron, five miles from here; 50 are wanted by the city of Springfield for grading and street work; 50 men are wanttd by sewer contractors, who will start construc tion next week on $12,00 worth of sewers in this city, and a dozen men are asked for work on tho construc tion of the new Springfield bank building, which began this morning, by the excavatiom for the basement. Sprlngfltld has several business blocks under course of construction, and a score of residences that are above. the $1000 class. Although the loss of the Booth-Kelly payroll Is ft'lt. to appreciable extent, It affects Springfield but very little. o THE SAFETY VALVE WAS CEMENTED To find the safety valve of the boiler in the state capitol building so cemented with mat that it was nec essary to pry It loose with a crow bar was the experience of Martin Languth, enginer at the state house, and who has been overhauling the boiler. The condition of the boiler Indi cates Hint it has never been over hauled since It was installed. Save for the valves, however. It was not pad. Its condition was not only bad but dangerous ad should the steam tiave been turned off on all of the radiators In the building at the same time, an explosion would have been the result as with the valves closed there would have been no avenue for the steam to escape. Languth Is the new engineer and his years of experience has made him thoroughly conversant with his work tn all Its phases. TO TACKLE SENATORS WILL PLAY SALEM ON" THE LEAGUE GROUNDS HERE NEXT SUNDAY ONLY T II It EE MORE GAMES THIS SEASON. The Senators will meet the Hub bard team next Sunday on the Salem league grounds. There are only three more games to be played in the league schedule this season. The re sult of the next three games will de cide which team of the Willamette Valley league will carry off the $125 pennant. The following Sunday Al bany will cross bats In Salem with Jerman's nine and on Sunday, Aug ust 20 the last and deciding game of the season will be played, also on the home grounds, between Salem and the Woodburn Giants. If the Senators prove victorious in the league finals Manager Jerman inti mated this morning that he would Issue a challenge to Manager Bar tholomew of the Gresham Giants, for a, game. The Gresham nine has played excellent ball this season and its members are laying claim to the championship of the Willamette Valley. "Mysterious" Mitchell prob ably will pitch for the Gresham boys. In his last game only two runs were secured off him. Jerman, how ever, is confident that his star pitch er, Allegart, can give the "Myster ious" one a good hard run for the money and the Senators probably will face the Gresham Giants before the championship title for this sea son is finally and definitely decided. The next three games In the league schedule should prove rattling good contests. Albany defeated Salem last Sunday. Hubbard has twice de feated . Woodburn, while Woodburn has been at the top of the column for some time. Now these four teams are going 'to settle matters 'during the next three games. Blazier, Jerman's new man from Wisconsin, took Jones' place behind the bat in last Sunday's ganfe at Al bany. His work pleased Jerman so well that the Senators' manager probably will play Blazler in the same place next Sunday and will give Jones a chance to stretch his legs In the outer field. THE TOGGERY!
