Prominent railroad officials connect ed with the pnssenger department..of Service the Southern Pacific in the east will arrive in the city at 5 o'clock this ovening, and through the courtesy of the members of the Commercial club, will be given an opportunity to view the beauties of the capital city. Their visit to the west is in line with the educational trips now being taken by all prominent passenger men of the Southern Pacific, a plan of education that has proven eminently satisfactory to the agents as well as the road. Among those who will make a three hour visit are: S. C. Chiles, chief clerk district freight and passenger agent, Huffnlo, N. Y.j C. E. Shiinklin, chief clerk district freight and passenger office, Haltimore; A. 11. Boyd,- travel in' gfreight. and passenger agent, Bos ton; A C. Parker, passenger agent, New York. The Klamath Falls commercial club writes to the club here in Snlem asking its co-operation to secure the opening of the Klamath Falls Indian reserva tion. Tho Indians are now about nil civilized nnd the people in that part of the state feel that it would work no hardship if the lands were parceled out and the white man allowed to de velop. This lias been done and the business men of Klnmnth. Palls are in clined to think it should be done in their section, especially as only 18 per cent of the lund in tho county is sub ject to taxation. The letter to the Comniereuil club in Snlem . states that tiovernor Withyconibe Is in favor of a plan for the opening of the reserva tion, and so also is the Portland Cham ber of Commerce and other commercial orgaiii'Jitions of the state. The prune market, which was Inclin ed towards higher prices during the colli ruinv spell, is now slightly off. with 11 1-2 and 3-4 cents the top of the market. Buyers bought freely during the uncertain period wheu it was thought tho crop was partly ruin ed, but with the present estimated crop of 3",000,000 pounds, the mnrket began to drop and buyers here are looking for lower prices. One year ago with an estimated crop of 15,000, 000 pounds, the price was U cents. With nn estimnte of double the crop this year, and an embargo on the ship ment of prunes into England, buyers naturally believe lower prices will pre vail. Getting up with the lark Is part of the regular program of the Hrenkfnst club, nu organization of 15 young In dies who really do not object to seeing the sun rise occasionally. Yesterday morning nt precisely 4:110 o'clock, the club arose and hiked to Kingwood Park where breakfast wus served a la mode camping out. Having mude a success of the Kingwood Park adven ture, the young ladies are now plan ning for greater things in the way of a walk to Mill City and return, nil in the same day. Members of the club making the hike yesterday morning are: Ha Spauldiiig, Ruth Schultz, Al bertina Smcdlcy of Portland, Vivian Hargrove, Murybelle Vteinhart, Lois .Martin, Carolyn JJieK, Olgn limy ami Inn Proctor. Although the post office department has decreed that hereafter all rural mail boxes must conform to one of two designs, yet this should not worry the average farmer. If ho moves, his old mail box as long as it will hold mail, uinv be taken along. If nn entirely new box is necessary, tho Salem post office can give the information this week as to where it may be purchased, at a price of $1 for the small size and $2.50 for the larger. The boxes are not patented bv the government. Any one may make them and use them as long us the boxes are made according to government specifications. Four men were sent to Portland to day by the local recruiting office at the Keith hotel. Two men, John Swar of Koseburg, and Pascal Traulio of Sa lein failed to pass the physical exam ination, those sent to Portland were: Orvnl J. Smith, 20, former clerk .at the .Marion hotel; Kills 11.

If anyone had remarked about a month ago that more than 100 of the young men of Salem would be sleeping in their every day clothes about this time of year, who would have believed itf Yet such is the fact. The boys in Company M arc not only sleeping in their work clothes, but with each man is a rifle and 00 rounds of ammunition, and the sleeping is done on the hot sands of southern Cuiifornia, within a quarter of a mile of the Mexican border. I Loweu will is in receipt or a letter todav from Herman Moiring, a member, ... ... oi company ju. iie writes in part: .ll..,ui1..... i. . "We are now just 200 yards from the re-election was assured becauso the pro Mexican border, 'and just a quarter of a gfessives were "men of principle," mile on the Mexican side, .the Mexican most of whom could not bring thmselvcs army is camped.

We have each 00 rounds of am munition and a rifle, nnd as we must be prepared at nil times, we sleep in our ciuthes with the riflo and ammunition handy. Tia Juana looks bright at night with the casino lighted. We nre busy mostly in drilling. At night besides our rifles, 'we have plenty of company in the way of the sand fleas. .Several of the boys walked to the coast, six miles, but I stayed in cnnip as my feet are sore. I never .though I would be here, but here I am." Industrial Accident Commission's Report A total of 244 accidents were re ported to the state industrial accident commission during the week ending yesterday. Of these one wus fatal. Claud Hull of St. Helens, received injuries from a woodsnw which result ed in his death.

J Basey will motor to Portland tins afternoon, accompan ied by their daughter . and her husband Mr. nnd Mrs. A. A. Bisque, who have been visiting the parental home during the Cherry fair. Mr. und Mrs Basey expect to be home early next week. That the Third Oregon Infantry in tends to remain on .the border for some months at least is indicated by a letter received in this city today in which Adjutant 1.. II. Compton of the Third Battalion asks that the battal ion correspondence files be forwarded to the front. A significant fact iu connection with tho work of the state industrial acci dent commission, Chairman Marshall points out, is thut there has not been a sinirle appeal from the decisions of the commission during the past year. Iu the two years ending June 30 lust but tour appeals nave been taken. Enrol C. Gilkey, assistant state libra-! rian, leaves next mouth for New York where ho will enter New York nniver - sity. Mr. (iilkey is a graduate of Wil- lumotte university. It is Ins intcn - tiim to specialize in educational worklgg with a view to teaching modern meth mis after lie completes his course in New iork.

Members of the late lamented progressive party are finding themselves very much sought after personages just now. It appeurcd fairly well established today thut one ; reason why neither the democratic nor republican campaign managers had yet announced the full membership of the j campaign committee was because they both hoped to corral a number of pro-1 gressives for this worn, !

On account of the Fourth celcbrntiou and otther affairs, no work has been done towards disposing of the necessary tickets, and as the time is now limited, quick action is necessary. While a considerable number of tick ets have been pledged, yet quite a num ber of those so pledged are not in the city at present and it will be necessary for those interested iu the success of the Cnnutuuqua to secure additional pledges and attend to the sale of tickets. The meeting this evening will- also arrange .for the annual purade. Just to talk over the situations. Dr. H. C. Epley, president of the Salem Chau tauqua has culled tne meeting for to night.
