DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON, MONDAY, DECEMBFR 18, 1011,
A SPLENDID
PROGRAM AT
M. E. CHURCH
The usual form of the service was
departed from Sunday evening, and
the large audience which gathered at
the First Methodist church listened
in raptured silence to the simple
Btory of the Messiah, as told la song
by the well-trained choir of 42
voices. Comnig at this time of the
year the service seemed unusuallly
appropriate, and those who were
turned away for want of standing
room mused much.
All of the solos, hymns and an
thems blended Into one splendid re
cital of the birth, life and mission of
Jesus. Those who came to be amused
remained to worship for the Chslst
mas spirit permeated the atmosphere
The leader instilled a perfect rythm
Into the voices of the singers who
rendered the difficult selections with
a grace and ease which speaks much
for their ability and their earnest di
rector. The pipe organ, solo by Pro
fessor Roberts was also well ren
dered, and, after hearing him, one
could well understand the words of
the poet, when lw said: 'The organ
ist speaks the workings of the soul.
Qulti a lengthy program was ren
dered, and it was a most beautiful
one, that brought a sense of Christ
inas time, of good will and peace to
11 who attended the service.
CITY BUDGET FOR 1912.
(Continued from rage 1.)
The foregoing Is the estimate made
by the finance committee of the bud
get for next year. Chairman White
will present it tonight to the council
for Its consideration and while that
body may see fit to make revisions, it
Is pretty safe to predict that It will
be not downward, but rather up
wards, for the committee In prepar
ing the estimate has been conserva
tive and It does not contain an Item
which Is not necessary for the ad
ministration of the affairs of the
city.
' According to the estimate the levy
for the city will be 8 mills. The
school board has already made a levy
of 8 9-10 nillles- for the maintenance
of the city schools, and Judge Bushey
of the board of county commission
ers roughly estimates the levy for
the county at 11 mills. This will
make the complete levy for the city
about 28 4-10 mills.
A Few ConipnrlNonH,
The budget last year waa $llfv
413.47. A coniparlg'-n of the Items
entering Into It and the estimate
made for the budgH for this year,
shows a decrese in appropriations

many. A new Item In the estimate Is
a $600 salary for a bookkeeper In the

of the city attorney's office have gone
up from $300 to $420 and the station
ery down from $35 to $20. The city

from $4500 to 1540ft and the pay of
the extra policemen goes from $150 to
$450. The expense of the city Jail
have trebled those of last year be
ing $500 while the estimate for the

duction of $250 In horse feed for the

MYSTERIOUS
BILLY SMITH
IS SHOT DOWN
"Mysterious Billy" Smith was shot
and probably fatally injured In Port
land Sunday night. It seems that
some time ago Smith's wife obtained
a divorce from him, and later mar
ried Albert B. Loomis. Smith, it is
claimed, told Loomis the divorce was
Illegal, and the men quarreled fre
quently and at one time came to
blows. Sunday evening Smith caught
up with Mrs. Loomis on the street
and walked a short distance with her.
She saw her husband, Loomis, fol
lowing and cried out, "Be careful
Bill! There's goine to be trouble."
At the cry Smith turned, Mrs.
Loomis says Loomis fired at once, the
bullet striking SmiMi In the breast.
He pulled his gun, however, and re
turned the Are, but sank to the side
walk as Loomis kept firing. Seeing
him down and apparently out, Loomis
fled. Smith walked to the hosDital.

The Wise Wife
Is the woman wbo advises
her hnxband to choose bis
laundry man with rare
eTen as jrrent rare as be
gives his choice of a haber
dasher. The one thing more
than all others that has a
tendency to make laundries
unpopular In the mind of
the public, lg the fact that
It hus been necessary to
use an artlllclal bleach on
white goods, generally a
Mine bleach which was
more or less destructive in
Its tendencies. The Salem
Steam Laundry Is using; a
natural bleach an Oxygen
bleach that does the work
just like the rays of the sun.
It Is absolutely harmless to
any goods that are handled
in a laundry, and while Its
cost Is six times that of the
old and sometimes harmful
lime blench, it Is now nsed
in the Salem Steam Laun
dry plant to the exclusion
of all other methods of
blenching.
The best of everything;
