THE SALEM 1100 EXTINCT.
THE end of the legislative Bosslon is
near, and, up to this time, noth
ing has been heard through the
newspapers, either of Portland or of
the state at large, concerning that
once very much-talked-about animal,
"the Salem hog!" This la a decided
change, and a pleasing one, It has
been the custom to accuse Salom of
wanting big appropriations for the
tata institutions located here. Now,
aa a matter of fact, Salom Is no more
Interested in these appropriations than
any other part of the state, and,, while
a little business is made for her mer
chants, by those Institutions being lo
cated here, it Is comparatively trif
ling, Let us take an unbiased glance
at the situation. The state institu
tions here are of Buch a character
that but little of the state funds are
spent hore, as supplies for thorn are
purchased by contract, and Portland
gets the lion's share of that, while
they are open to every person In the
state.
There are botweon 350 and 400 pris
oners In tho penitentiary", but It Is
suggested that those people do not
come down town, or spend any money
It it. At the asylum there were nearly
1R00 before the branch asylum at
Pendleton was established, but these,
too, are not In the habit of vlBlttng
down town, or spending any great
amount of money. The same may be
said of the reform school, the deaf
mute and the blind schools. As a mat
ter of fact, all tho money that Salem
got from tho Institutions located here
U that expended by the emptors. It
Is different with the U. of O., tho 0. A.
C. and such institutions, which bring
many to tho cities where they are lo
cated, who all spend more or less
money In their cities. Salom Is not
kicking about that, for It Ib simply tho
good fortune of those places where
these institutions are located, and they
have to be located some place. It it
wasn't Kugone or Corvallls, It would
be some other town, and' so Salom re
joices with, her sister cities in their
good fortune, and Ib glad to see the
logtslattiro not only Just but generous
to thorn, and hopes Blnceroly that the
Institutions at the places will always
receive a liberal and hearty support,
for they aro worthy anil beneficial to
tho whole state. That.'B tho way Salem
feels about, and that Is why The
Capital Journal expresses Its satis
faction at the passing forever of an
undeserved nickname, and Its gratifi
cation that fine appropriations nro
made for tho state educational Institutions.
insinuation, aa he is in most things.
That la to say he Is dad wrong. Tho
Journal never asked him or any other
city official not to enforce; the pool
room closing law or any othor. Why
should It? The Journat deprecated the
closing of the pool rooms, but It did
not advlso any officer not to close
them. Bosldes thla, though, the hon
orablo councilman does not seem to
bo aware of tt, tho law concerning the
closing of places of amusement on
Sundays Is a stato law, not tho product
of Salem'B city council. H was not tho
duty of tho chief of police to close
them, If they were to be closed, but
that If the Bhoriff or constable. Neither
was It the duty of tho city attorney to
prosncute them. Tho $1500 voted him
by the city council did not Include ser
vice for tho state, only for the city.
The Journal regrets that Councllmen
MInton or Jones drew the Inference
from Its columns that It wlBhed them
to cease tholr strenuous efforts at law
enforcement, and It sincerely wishes
them "more power to tholr olbowB" In
these commendablo efforts If they
ever begin them. In tho meanwhile,
will tho honorable councilman, Mr.
MInton now that it Is known he Is
allvo and can write, kindly continue
his efforts at enlightenment and tell
the public what ho knows about rais
ing tho city attorney's salary, and tell
tho public further why It was done.
More acres producing loganberries
wore represented in a meeting of lo
ganberry growers at tho Salem Fruit
Union on Saturday than the complete
total of all other acres growing that
fruit In tho entire world. About 200
acres wore represented by about 40
growers who were present. This rc-
markalilu fact is accounieu ior uy ma
position Salem hold as tho loganberry
center of tho world and because tho
loganberry Industry Is yet in Its very
beginning.
An address was made before tho
meeting by lliitt Asplnwall, known as
tho Loganberry King, who farms 50
acres of tho fruit near Brooks. He
gave a clear exposition before tho
meeting of the most modern methods
of planting, cultivating, picking, and
marketing loganberries. Alex M. La-
Folletto to whom falls tho honor of
producing more of the berries to the
acre than any other fruit man In tho
world, also gave an address before tho
meeting. Mr. LaFollette produced on j
his loganberry ground last season an ,
averago of six and three-fifths tons an
acre. The average In the Salem sec
tion aa a whole Is about five tons to
the acre.
On Saturday of this week there will
be a general meeting of fruit groworB
In the autdltorlum of tho fruit union.
Plans for the coming fruit harvest will
be discussed.
The spraying season In ithls section
Is now on In earnest and the pruning
of trees is practically finished. Several
of tho most prominent orehnrdlsts ex
pect to Install heating apparatus In
their orchards, with the coming of the
frost season- Heating has never been
practiced extensively In this part of
the state before.
AN ENI'OI RAGING El TOUT.
COUNCILMAN MINTON addressed
a communication to Tho Capital
Journal which appeared In yi-ster-day's
paper. Tho Journal was Indeed
glad to recelvo II. Not that It shod
any light on anything In particular,
but simply because It Is encouraging
It shows for one tiling that Council
man MInton reads Tho Journal, and
that therefore Ills continued silence
on llio mutter of why ho raided the
city attorney's salary. Is not because
bo has not known the uuostlon was
asked h'm, but rather bcctiuno ho pre
fers to talk about something clue, lie
grows a trillo sarcastic and tells the
Journa' : "Don't think for a minute
that Coumllinen Jones i.nd MInton
liavo taken a 'hunch' from the Journal
and censing any ctTort to enforce the
laws of tho clly Insofar as they have
tho power." The honorable council
man Is about as nearly correct In this
THE END OF THE SESSION.
THE legislature Is surely doing
bUBinesB now. With the reports
from the committees practically
all mado, thero Is nothing to do but
vote upon the measures, and, though
there are sonio debates, tho bills are
generally being disposed of In short
order, and by Friday night the decks
will be pretty well cleared. There are
some vory Important measures to bo
acted upon, but these have been gone
over In the committee rooms, and tho
legislators already know wluit thoy
will do with them, and, though there
may be some little discussion over a
few of them, most will bo acted upon
without furthor discussion or debate.
The house resolution to mako the ses
sion 40 working days is, at this writ
ing, (Monday night) still before the
committee. What will bo done with
It Is, of course, not known. Tho sen
ate Is opposed to holding longer than
the constitutional time, but the house
can make tt cat out of Its hand on this
matter, for tho legislature cannot ad
journ without action of both bodies.
It Is presumed that, tho houso will
think better of It, luul that the session
will end Friday night, nt midnight
by the clock. It Is also probable that
the appropriation for tho Panama fair
will not bo changed In tho house, anil
that Oregon will expend $200. 000' In
doing Home advertising for herself,
and nuiklng a showing of her pro
ducts creditable to our great state.

The Portland Telegram, interview
ing Its own reporter about a scrap he
was a party to, to get the real facts,
does not show a great amount of wis
dom on the part of the city editor. As
a matetr of fact, the less the Telegram
has to say about the conduct of Its
"scrappy" reporter, the better for the
reputation of the paper, and the re
porters In general.
The humorous thing about Profes
sor Hallock's story about Cain build
ing tho city of Enoch at the site of
Klamath Falls, Is that the big wlgged
wiseacres took him seriously, and pro
ceeded to demonstrate that he was
mistaken. Their denseness Is as as
tonishing as Hallock's statement
The reason Murray Wado's cartoons
are bo lifelike Is that he only looks at
the back of a man's head while sketch
lug a front view. Ho draws a poste
rior, No one can now purchase a revolv
er without a birth certificate showing
ho was born and how much, a petition
signed by his follow citizens, and an
order from tho circuit Judge. The
hold-up men, however, avoid all this
by Just breaking Into Watt Shlpp's,
wehre they know that they can get
tho best thero Is, and tho way to pur
chase cheap.
Tho house last night discovered that
tho wagging of the dog by tho tall was
not the correct thing, so proceeded to
wag tho tall a few wags.
Forbes, of Crook, In the speaker's
chair last night, undertook to gag the
reporters, but the hie crowd in tho lob
by slood In with the newgpnper boys,
and applauded Eaton nud hissed Up

sonal attack on Katon.
Tho stonni roller In the house last
night ran over a dynamite plant that
exploded from the unusual pressure,
and tho steam roller went up In the
nlr to come down In pieces widely
scattered.
There Is considerable difference In
rolling and being rolled between be
ing f Intel red and flattened nsk the
Portland hunch In the limine to explain
to you tho difference and distinction.
I Tho Portland Telegram says it has
told tho truth about Governor West.
The Telegram may think so, hut the
truth Is that It Is either mistaken, has
deliberately deceived Itself, or has
gratuitously lied. And It undertakes
to fortify lis position by quoting Its
rsportor Perkins, who deliberately
manufactured a rotten story about the
governor, to prove that It Is correct
