SALEM THE RAILROAD CENTER,
While celebrating tho completion of
lie Oregon Electric to Eugene, It Is
proper to consider tho railroad situa
tion ns It concerns Snlom. Events
havo followed bo closely on each oth
er's licols here in the last few years
that It Is bard to keep In touch with
them. It Is but a short tlmo sineo the
Oregon Eloilrle reached Salem, a
mailer of months only since It passed
on and brought us In touch with wide
nwiiko Albany and tomorrow the link
to Eugene will bo rlvlted. It la but i
short time since tho Itallns, Falls Oil
& Western completed Its lino to West
Salem, bringing that rich section and
vast timber belt In touch with us.
Now, day by day, the big steel bridge
over tho Wlllainetto is being rushc"
to completion, nnd almost before we
nro aware of It, trains will ho run
ning Into Salem over this road. Ixng
before tills Is done, however, the
branch lino to Fir will be completed.
In fact, It U expected thlB road will be
finished this week. This brings ft
wonderfully rich section, heretofore
cut off from truth) relation with Sa
lem, In close touch with us. It brings
tho Waldo Hills, the great future ap
ple orchard of Western Oregon, to our
doors. Already tho adaptability of this
Beet Ion to Apples has been demon
strated, nnd experts In that linn nre
enthusiastic In tho expression of their
faith In Its future. Indeed they proph
esy for Waldo 1 1 1 1 1 a apples a reputa
tion at least etiual to that of Hood
River, and that Ifl saying much. One
firm, tho Waldo Kills Orchard com
pany, managed by the A. ('. Itchrn
Btetit Co., Is setting out a thousand
ncres to orchard, principally apples,
nnd In fact hns somo 500 ncres al
ready set to young trees. Whllo this
Is the largest single tract In that sec
tion, thero aro hundreds of smaller
orchards set out, that In a few years
will lie sending their products East,
and pouring a stream of Eastern nion-
i ' I
ey Into Oregon. Tho Fir road brings
this rich area In close touch with Sa
lem, and makes It tho natural trad
ing point.
Nor la this, all of the optimistic out
look. Another road has been sur
veyed, and will undoubtedly bo built
next year; In fact work on It Is liable
to commence at any time, Tha Is tho
ruad to Stnyton. It was Intended to
commence work on this road a month
ago., but It was hold up by some mis
understanding between Mr. Mounce,
Irs promoter, and the citizens of that
city. This road will begin work soon,
nnd, while It may not pnss directly
through Stnyton, It Is to penetrate
that rich section, bringing It In close

COUNTY FUND
LAW FOR THE
HIGH SCHOOLS
C0CNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF
SCHOOIS WKIIES COVERING
the jio'rm: and effects of
THE ( 01.NTV n.'.XD LAW.
Under our present plan of support
ing tho high schools by district tax,
all of the vast timber hinds of the
county and much of the property of
railroads and other corporations are
not tuxed for high school purposes.
Under tho county fund law all of this
property would bo taxed Its Just share.
Tho fund law provides that for the
flist twenty pupils In the school, each
pupil would draw $40; for the next
twenty pupils in tho school, each pu
pil would draw $30; and each pupil
ubove forty would draw $12.50; thus,
It will bo seen that the small schools
with from twenty to one hundred pu
pils receives moro money la propor'
tlon to' the number of pupils than a
largo school with five hundred pupils.
Tho law favors the rural schools,
bringing high school advantages near
er to the boys and girls In tho country,
and thus taking away the excuse of
flic farmer of moving to the larger
centers to educate his children.
I trust that you will be willing to
print In the next two or three Issues
of your paper, letters from superin
tendents, business men nnd patrons In
counties where this law has been In
operation for from ono to four years.
Thanking you for many past favors,
I am, Yours very truly,
W. M. SMITH,
Supt. Schools, Marlon C.ounty.
SI'l'T. JACKSON OF LINN SAYS
THE FUND lV IS A SUCCESS
In reply to your request relative to
the fund law, which has been In oper
ation In this county for the past four
years, may I briefly state In answer
to your letter that the consensus of
public opinion, after a trial of four
years, Is strongly In favor of the law.
It has proved to be a step In favor of
the Interests of tho masses of the peo
ple and more especially to the rural
communities. All classes of property
is assessed to create a fund and In
this county the tax hns not exceeded
one mill for a maintenance fund. We
have sixteen high schools organized In
the county nnd one other being or
ganized by coihblnlng nine districts,
however, the law may be applied to
cither the single district or to the
union of districts. Tho rural high
school Is a promoter In every sense of
the word as It holds peoplo In the
country who would move to town and
It, also, brings tho high school In
reach of many poor people who could
not give their children high school
privileges.
Iil'SINESS MAN OF SCIO
ENDORSES IT STRONGLY
In the early part of September, 1908,
the writer received a pamphlet pub
lished at Eugeno, entitled "Tha Lano
County Plan," which explained the
county high school tuition law adopt
ed by that county two years previous.
The result In Lano county hnd proved
eo flattering that wo Immediately set
about to see what could be done to
establish' a like plan for Unn county.
Petitions wero at once circulated, and
tho question was submitted to the le
gal voters of this county In the fall
election of 1908, resulting In Its adop
tion by a small majority of 64 votes.
Since that time the high school devel
opment In this county has been so rap
id ns to surprise the most optimistic
among us. Albany alono hns more
high school pupils tills year than were
enrolled In the entire county In 190S.
Our little town of Solo was struggling
with a two-year high school when the
new law went Into effect. We now
maintain a full four year high school,
employing two high school teachers
aggregating a salary of $182.50 per
month, and this with less burden on
our district than when under the old
law we employed one high school
teacher at $75 per month. Other small
high schools of tho county have hnd a
like experience. There Is no question
but that tho law Is a success. The
trouble Is, getting a sufficient number
to understand It. Ignoranco as to Its
Intent and purpose Is the only thing
that can defeat It. The writer Is sure
that our success In Linn county was
due entirely to a lively campaign of
education. If tho question were again
submitted to the peoplo of this coun
ty Instead of carrying by a mere hand
ful of votes, as was the case four years
ago, It would bo adopted almost unan
imously. Yours very truly.

A TEN CENT BOX
OF "CASCARETS"
LNSURES TOU FOR MONTHS
AGAINST A SICK HEADACHE,
BILIOUSNESS, CONSTIPATION OH
A RAD STOMACH.
Put aslde Just once the salts, ca
thartic pills, castor oil" or purgative
waters which merely force a passage
way through tho bowels, but do not
thoroughly cleanse, freshen and puri
fy these drainage or alimentary or
gans, and have no effect whatever up
on, the liver and stomach.
Keep your inside organs pure and
fresh with Cascarets, which thorough
ly cleanse the stomach, remove the
undigested, sour and fermenting food
and foul gases, take the excess bile
from the liver and carry out of the
system all tho constipated waste mat
ter and poisons In the Intestines and
bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will make you
feel great by morning. They work
while you sleep never gripe, sicken,
and cost only 10 cents a box from
ycur druggist. Millions of men and
women take a Cascaret now and then
nnd never have headache, biliousness,
coated tongue, Indigestion, sour stom
ach or constipated bowels. Cascarets
belong In every household. Children
Just love to take them.
To the Citizens of Salem.
Having been petitioned by a number
of prominent and representative citi
zens of Salem to become a candidate
for mayor I have with some reluct
ance decided to allow my name to be
presented as a candidate for such po
sition at the forthcoming primaries.
I have purposely postponed taking
such a Btep until I was assured by the
number of signers to the petition that
there was a genuine demand for me
to make the race. While I feel that at
the present time I can hardly afford
the sacrifice of my time and energies
which will be necessary should I be
elected tothls office, yet I havo al
ways held that no citizen should re
fuse such sacrifice If he feels he is
called upon by his fellow citizens to
assume it It is a public duty and the
office is a public trust. Could I have
consulted my own Inclinations alone
I would have deferred this matter for
some time. I have always felt that
any man who has given the best part
of his llfo to the successful pursuit of
his own business, owes a few years to
the public which has prospered hira
and made his success possible. I am
ready to do my part if the people de
sire and as to the time when I shall
do this, I defer to the judgment of my
friends. In pursuance of this idea
alone ar.d with no thought of personal
advantage I enter the lists and with
perfect confidence in the Judgment of
the people leave the matter in the
hands of the electors, Should I bo
their choice I will stand for progress
and Improvement, a better and clean
er Siilem, both physically and morally,
and as far as my Influence and author
ity extend, will bo for a strict observ
ance of tho laws. Whatever cam
paign I make will be clean and abevo
board without recrimination or in
nuendo and If defeated, I will accept
the result with perfect good nature
and equanimity.
Respectfully yours,
B. L. STEEVES.
