THE PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW.
T II ERE IS a matter in connection
with the city attorney's office of
profoundly more importance from
a financial viewpoint than the little
$300 sugar teat presented the city attor
ney by the couucil to keep him in good
humor and prevent him upsetting his
crib or smashing his bottle, and that
ia the sewer bond matter. It is a little
more than four mouths since the coun
cil instructed the city attorney to pre
pare a transcript of the sewer bond
ituatiou and submit the samo to east
ern parties, bond purchasers. To pre
pare this transcript should require but
a few days, and it certainly should have
been forwarded before the end of the
year 1912, it having been orilurod pre
pared December 21st. The Capital
Journal is not in clone touch with the
city attorney, duo to circumstances over
which it has no control, and conse
quently cannot stato positively, as to
what is going on in the city attorney's
office, but it is informed that that tran
script is still in Salem and has not been
nont to Boston. Tho city attorney is
reticent about answering what ho calls
"personal attacks on him made by the
evening papor," but it is hoped ho will
not put this inquiry in that class, but
that ho will for once tell tho people
who pay his salary, what has been done
with those eewcr bonds, whero tho mat
ter now stands, whether or not tho tran
script is prepared, whether or not it
has been sont east, and in fact, enlight
en the public ns to tho general nit nation
of tho wliolo sewer bond matter. This
is not a personal attack, it is not a mat
ter in which the Capital Journal on its
own account is much interested, but ev
ery property owner in tho city is in
terested in it, and especially those who
have put up their money, to tho return
of which they nro entitled.
If tho transcript has been forwarded;
if tho matter is now in tho hands of tho
rastcrn people, let Salem folks know it.
If it lias not been fm warded, kindly let
tho people know why, and also any oth
er little matters, which they us tho em
ployers of the city attorney really seem
to hnvo at bust a little right to know.
Mr. Page, the Capital Journal asks yon
iu all kindness, and in the interest of
tfalem people, to shed a little light on
tho sub ject, not a great spectacular il
lumination, a flood of glowing brillian
cy, but just a few old -fashioned one
candlepower rays, just enough to see to
rend by, upon tho sewer proposition so
thnt tho people may know whero they
atnml and have some idea as to the pro
gress of tho matter. The people want
'to know about their business from their
attorney. Will it require another raise
in Salary to open his sphynx like lipxf
which those of Tuesday fully confirmed
Vestcrday's dispatches announced
that in West Virginia there would be
inO.000 homeless from the floods there,
and that tremendous damago was being
done. The news last night shows that
devastation is wide spread, and while
the loss of life is not so large, nor so
concentrated, it will be large, and while
the distress will be more scattered it
will be none the less severe. For this
reason there should be no halting in the
raising of funds for the Telief of tho
flood victiniB. Many jumped at the con
clusion thnt becauso tho loss of life was
less than at first estimated that tho
suffering is also less, This is a grave
mistake. Conditions in Ohio and Indi
ana are indescribable, and instead of
tho suffering being less, the peoplo
made homeless along tho Ohio river and
those driven to tho hills in West Vir
ginia and Pennsylvania, will also need
help for a littlo whilo. There is no dan
ger of raising too much, for at the best,
tho suffering can only be lessened, not
entirely avoided even with the most
liberal and generous contributions. And
remember, pleasO, that he who gives
quickly, gives twice.
W H. GRIEB WILL
DELIVEB AN ADDRESS
W. II. Orier, secretary of the Nation
al Tlaygrounds Association, will deliver
an addrcsB at the high school Friday ev
ening of this week at 7:30 o'clock. Mr,
drier comes to Salem under the auspi
ces of tho Salem Playground Associa
tion, Greater interest than last year is be
ing shown in the establishment of pub-
lie playgrounds in Snlem for tho sum
mer. The movement was a complete
success last summer, though the associ
ation wns handicapped to somo extent
through lack of equipment and perma
ncnt grounds. This year the high school
athletic field will probably be used for
grounds, and new equipment will be
added.
MORE FLOOD VICTIMS.
COMMENTING cm the terrible floods
iu Ohio and In. liana, a few days
ago, the ( apilul Journal suggested ,
that iu a day or so it would be a ease
of "Look out below!" Conditions
along the Ohio river are, however, even
worse that it was thought they could
be. It was supposed the big channel of
the Ohio would carry off the flood wa
ters without extraordinary damage, but
this has proven a false hope. It proba
bly would have taken care of the Wa
bash, Miami nud olher flooded streams
of tho devastated district, but in the
anxiety over Dayton, Columbus and the
olher drowned nut cities, tho fact that
West Virginia nnd l'ennsyh unia were
also being deluged by tremendous rains
wns overlooked.
The dispatches Monday gave an ink
ling of the danger from Hint source,

ROSEBURG 10 HAVE
I
Claims to Have Finest Body of Lime of
Any Place on the Pacific
Coast.
If the plans of a number of Roscburg
business men come out all right, and it
looks as they will, the metropolis of
the Umpqua valley will soon have a big
Portland cement plant turning out sev
eral hundred tonB of cement per day.
Eight and one-half miles southeast of
that city is a deposit of pure limestone
and shale, which is said to be superior
to any deposit of its kind on the Pa
llets coast, and quite equal to the ce
ment deposits which have made scores
of millionaires in California. The do
posit covers a tract of 280 acres, and is
owned by D, W. Riedlo, who has had
exhaustive tests made of both tho lime
and tho shale with the result that ex
pert chemists have pronounced it equal
to any cement manufacturing material
in tho United States.
Two years ago Mr. Riedlo had his
property examined by Dr. W. Michaelis,
of Chicago, one of tho leading cement
experts of the United States.
Best in the West.
The result of this examination is
shown by a report in the Engineering
Review, of Chicago, given herowith
wherein this deposit is pronounced the
best in the entire west, being equaled
only by one other inlltah.
This deposit is extensive, being em
braced in a tract of 280 acres of land
owned by Mr. Riedle, and is adjacent to
the 80-acro deposit owned by the Port
land Cement Company, which is build
ing a plant at Oswego, near Portland.
Tho proposition of Mr. Riedlo and his
associates is to build and operate a
plant that would manufacture 100 bar
rels of cement per day, and employ at
least 1 .10 men from the start. This ca
pacity would probably bo doubled later
on. A spur track would have to bo built
to the property from the 8. P. R. R,
near Greens. This would give direct
and easy facilities for shipping.
Benefits Douglas County.
In tho building line, and especially
as relntes to tho construction of hard
surface roads, this plant would bo of
untold benefit to Douglas county. It is
estimated that moro than 800,000 bar
rels of cemont will be used in the next
few years in tho construction of trunk
line roads in Douglas county alone, es
timated at 50 cents per barrel, would
aggregate $400,000. Yet this great sum
would bo but a fraction of tho general
benefit of tho development of such a
great industry iit Oregon.
The plan as outlined by Mr. Riedle
nnd those associated with him In the
enterprise provides for tho raising of
$100,000 in Roseburg and vicinity, con
ditioned upon outside capital being sub
scribed to tho extent of $,'i00,000. The
outside capital hns already been ar
ranged for, and it is believed that
there will bo no trouble in securing a
subscription in Southern Oregon to the
extent of $100,000. The expenditure of
$i'00,000 for the building and equip
ment of the plant nnd its accessories

SALEM PASTOB
DIES IN SEATTLE
Seattle, Wash., April 1. (Special)
"It is well with my soul," sang the
audience at the East Spruce street
Friends' church Sunday at the request
of the aged pastor, Isom P. Wooton,
formerly of Salem. The old minister
had been in ill health and told his con
gregation that ho felt it would be his
last service. Monday afternoon he
passed quietly away.
Rov. Mr, Wooton arose from a bed of
illness to conduct his last service. Ho
had just completed a pastorate of six
months having come to Seattle directly
from Salem to take up the work here.
Tho remains will be Bent to Salem for
interment.

married two years ago. Ho was born in
