THE WATER PROBLEM.
A COMMUNICATION 1 n Thursday's
Capital Journal shows what at
least one Salemlte thinks of the
purchase of the Salem Water Co's
plant It would simplify matters very
much If the opinion of every other res
ident of Salom could be learned. This
one person, however, very pertinently
nays that It Is useless to employ high
priced engineers to tell us what tho
water plant Is worth. That has been
threshed out once. There has been
tome money spent by the company
since tho price of the plant was once
settled, and any school boy can add
this amount to that formerly fixed.
Tills stunt does not require an engin
eer at least not a very expensive
one.
Then, again, tho company knows, or
can decide, upon the lowcBt amount
it Is willing to take for its proporty,
and If It wants to play fair It will make
an offor to the city at what it belloveB
to be Its lowest price. If It Is not wil
ling to do this, there can bo but one
reason, and that Is that It hopes by the
expert examination and compromise
methods to obtain more for the plant
than It Is really willing to accept.
nut, while this Is true, the com
pany Is well within lta rights when It
refuses to put a price on Its property,
unless It Is assured the city wants to
buy it. What its property Is valued
at by It Is nobody's business, except
tho assessors so long as the city does
not want to purchase It, The main
thing to find out now, Is does the city
want municipal ownership of the
plant This can easily be settled at
a special election, costing but a fr-w
hundred dollars, !nd not a cent for en
gineers. Suppose, for iBtance, the
matter should bo submitted to tho
people in tho shape of two or ihree
propositions wic the foi'owlng
llnoc:
l)o you want municipal ownership of
tho olty water system Yes or no.
If you want municipal ownership,
do nou favor, first, a new plant; or sec
ond, the purchasing of tho present
plant ,lf tho price Is satisfactory.
This would settlo tho preliminaries,
nnd glvo us a basis on which to pro
ceed. If desired, at this same preliminary
election the cholco of gravity or
pumping systems could bo obtained.
Tho main thing Is to find out what
the peoplo want. When this Is o c
settled, the work enn lie gone nh:rl
llh, and, until It Is done. ill" whole
reovemont Is all: ; I.' groping In lite
dink. '
in tho meniin hile, wo do not want
to t.vcrlook the fii"t that the chirno of
$!) a year .s tit least double what it
phdiilcl be, or III.) ttirthcr fact (lint ev
ery overcharge of this kind, w'tlnr
for water or lights. Is a direct handi
cap to the growth of our city. The
prospotlcve result nt will take note of
then, two charges, as well ns the tax
nite, and the $r,i) a year for water
and light Is certainly not going to
provo a strenuous attraction to him,
or a siMluctlve Inducement for him to
purchase properly nnd locate here.
There was a time when this charge
wit's not, porhas, excessive, Salem
was widely scattered, not ninny houses
hi a block, yet It took the Hiune mains
to supply them as now. With tho fill
ing In nnd building on the once va
cant lots, by which tho mains run, the
water company's Income has been
largely Increased, doubled In the last
few years, wlblout and extensive kiut
lay. Kor this reason, It can now well
afford to furnish water at a greatly
reduced rale from that of a few years
ago. Tho company has doubled Its In

up tor It to make a reduction in rates,
that will take Its profits out of he
usury clasB. If it will not do this, then
It la up to the city to act for Its own
protection. ,
If the company Is wise, it will re
duce the rates materially, and do such
other things as may be necessary to
Insure an abundant supply of absolute
ly pure water. It probably will not do
this, for the weaning process Is one of
the hardest to make the Infant weaned
, tako to kindly, and this, whether It Is
a baby from Its mother's breast, or a
corporation from tho public, dugs.
DOES IT GIVE RESULTS.
JL. BRAY, of Albany, recently wrote
Prof. James Dryden, of the Ore
gon Agricultural College: "Please
send facts about the seven acre and
the three-acre successes." This was
done In order to get the details of the
two cases mentioned by tho professor,
at leiiBt this Is tho Inference. In the
reply the professor says:
"It Is possible to make a living or
money on a small trnct of that size un
der favorable conditions. I do not rec
ommend tho places as small as three
or even five acres for poultry keeping,
If the purpose is to make a living for
a familyl by selling tho product at so
much a dozen eggs, and bo much a
pound for tho chickens but If tho poul
lirymnn can work up that special line
In breeding stock, that Is, If ho can get
more than market prices for tho pro
duct, he can make a living on a few
acres with fowls alone. Where you
sell the eggs by the dozen you can
hardly keep enough chickens on three
acres, or even five, to mako a perma
nent success of It."
It la not our Intention to detract In
any way from the good work done by
the O. A. C. or to hellttlo It, but It
strikes us that the above answer of tho
professor points out tho weakest spot
In the 0. A. C. system, or rather in the
wholo farm educational system. Tho
school produces experts, It tenches bus
bandry In all branches, but docs not
nuiko farmers? Do Its graduates, or
any considerable portion of them, ev
er take up real farm work? Tho breed
ing and sale of fancy poultry Is no
doubt a profitable business, but that
Is a small item, In tho poultry busi
ness, compared to tho commercial ex
ploiting of the hen, Tho few may
rnlso fancy poultry mid sell eggs at
fancy prices, but tho real poultry busi
ness Is something different. It Is the
production of eggs and chickens for
market, and It Is right here nnd on this
tho real poultry business, that the
professor gives no Information what
ever. The Idea Is, that tho school Is
now producing experts along all lines,
but It. Is not producing farmers. True,
tho experts may bo engaged In teach
ing others, Home times, and thus really
broaden tho scope of the college Influ
ence, but, well Is the state getting re
sults? This Is not written lu a spirit
of 'carping criticism," for The Journal
has the kindliest feelings and best
wishes for the big Institution, but 11
docs believe, the college is shooting
wide of the mark.

SALEM MUST HI
Secretary Slade, of the Hoard of Trade,
Makes Ssme Suggestions Along
This Line.
Secretary Slade, of the Board of
Trade, has presented to that body
three suggestions for the development
of tho Willametto valley. The plans
embodied In the suggestions are ex
tensive, and, if adopted, will mean a
progressive campaign for doubling
tho imputation of the valley, and in
creasing the agricultural and horticul
tural output.
Mr. Slude's three suggestions are ns
follows:
"First We nniBt begin very soon
to think of the Panama exhibition nt
San Francisco In order to Induce
strangers, through the Oregon show,
to visit Salem and vicinity.
"Socond -Would It be feasible to
form a syndicate to foster Immigra
tion from some particular country,
and then work It for all It Is worth?
"Third Is It not wise to devise
some scheme to Increase the demand
for labor In the city of Salem, so we
can give employment to those who
cannot at once go on a farm when
they come hero from the east or else
where?" Aside from the agricultural and the
horticultural Idea, Secretary Blade
places much faith In the third section,
believing that tho Willametto valley of
fers a wonderful opportunity for po
or projects and transportation facili
ties. He believes further that the
greater part of tho raw material In
the valley con be created at home Into
tho finished product. Ho Is highly In
favor of offering Inducements for the
Immigration of manufacturing people,
as well rb farmers nnd orchardlsts.
Ho believes emphasis should be
placed on manufacturing because of
the need to provide labor in this sec
tion of the west. He pictures Salem ns
a future producing and distributing
center.
-RAYS AND SMILES.
Umatilla county has a brass hand,
and so can blow Its own horn.
Edgar Piper, mannglng editor of the
Oregonian, lectured to the students of
0. A. C. Wednesday on "The Novice In
Jodrnallsm," and read a chapter from
the Bible to show that It fulfilled all
eBtlnmtcB of a modern newspaper story
"To he a successful Journalist or news
paper man," concluded Mr. Piper,
"one Bhould have a great human curi
osity, a deep Interest In affairs, a fair
knowledge of history and economics,
sociology, Industry and a steadfast de
sire to be successfcl." All of which Is
' correct, but the learned gentleman
'overlooked the main essential of all
good newspaper work Truth.
I
Portland had a discriminating Jury
In a rase tried Wednesday, when n
1 man and woman were charged with a
statutory offense. Tho Jury found the
man guilty and the woman not guilty,
j thus establishing the fact that tho Im
possible can happen In fact has hap
pened.

WALL DECORATIONS.
Hints
In the Selection of New and
Suitable- Papan.
For a small room a very inexpensive
frieze may be cut out of any odd
length of wall paper the design of
which takes tho form of perpendicular
Jack in the beanstalk trails of leaves
and Bowers.
If the pattern Is cut out from the
background with a pair of scissors It
may be pasted on to n white or gray
wall, either at thu top or just below
the picture rail, the Joints being care
fully matched.
In choosing colorings It Is a snfe rule
to consider that red pnpers are advis
able when the outlook Is either due
north or east
If the room has a south or west as
pect, dull, but not dark, pnpers can be
used, a subdued, empire green being
suitable, while a lighter paper with
more yellow In the green would agree
better with a north or oust room.
If the house is very light, black
wainscoting, which Is becoming very
fashionable, may bo tried with Impu
nity, the floors being polished a dark
brown and tho walls bung with nar
row white striped, gray or butt papers.
These always look well in a small
bouse or flat
Although less attractive perhaps than
white, the blnck woodwork with Its
i high polished surface puts Infinitely
less strain on a one servant establish
ment than white enamel, while It looks
both effective and original.
Cleaning a 8unehado.
To clean a light silk sunshade take a
soft nnllbnish and wet with warm wa
ter. Sprinkle well with good soap pow
der, lightly brush sunshade lnsldo nnd
oat, then rinse with clear warm water
nnd put In the sun to dry. The sun
shade will look equal to new.
