Superintendent Heath of the Oregon

in Portland and the police here have
been asked to keep an eye out for any
stray Hudsons coming this way.

Ton are now supposed to keep a dis
tance of at least four feet from every
body. This i the warning given out by
the city board of health.- Large plac
ards have been distributed with the fol
lowing warning: "Avoid crowding.
The patrons' of this place sre requested
not to crowd. By order of the city
board of health." As things are shut
down here, the business to Portland was
rushing all day yesterday. The Capital
Journal served as bureau of informa
tion as to whethtir Portland was also
closed. It is not.
As to the time when the ban will be
removed on public gatherings, Dr. 0.
B. Miles, city physician, says this may
bo done as soon as affairs are well in
-hand, but not until there is tne assuS'
ance from the physicians they can han'
die the situation. At the meeting last
Sunday afternoon, the doctors present
claimed that 'conditions were such they
could not give patients the necessary
attention. Since then, it seems condi
tions have become better.. As soon ns
it is thought sate, the ban against all
public meetings will be released al
though it may not apply at once to
dancing in public.

of Silverton. It is thought that the
fire was started by one of the children
playing with fire in the suire, la b
effort to rescue the children Mrs. Har
rick was seriously burned. The little
boy was burned to death but the moth
er succeeded in rescuing the small
daughter, badly burned. It was thought
the mother and daughter were not seri
ously injured, but the burns were such
that both died this noon at Silverton.
The farm house and contents were en
tirely destroyed.
One of the evidences of real winter
was noticed this morning. A man who
had anchored his skiff at the foot of
Trade street was obliged to take -his
oar and break the ice before he could
get his boai cut into midstream and
into the flow of the river. There was
also ice formed around the Gray Eagle
tied up to the Spauldiug Logging com
pany dock.
The bount;? on scalps of moles, gray-
diggers and gophers will have to be
either increased or the county will soon
find itself with a lot of bounty inuny
on hand and no one presenting the
scalps to claim it. When the bounty was
ten cents the fund was generally ex
hausted by the latter part of May and
many a young man presented scalps and
found no money for payment. But with
the reduction to 5 cents per scalp trap
pers did not find it profitable. Hence,
while by a special tax-there was raised
1200 to pay bounties for this year,
there has been paid out on claims only
$2517.80.
The birth rate may have materially
docreascd in Europe during the wa but
not so for Marion county, according to
the usual reDorts filed at the office
of City Physician Dr. O. B. Mrles.
While all December birth and death re
ports have not as yet been filed in the
city physician's oince, it may db saia
that for the past year, there has been
about 40 more Dirths tnan aeatns in
the district including Salem and a few
miles out each direction excepting west.
The largert building permit for 1918
was issued to the Southern Pacific for
the long looked for passcngor depot."
From a building standpoint, it may be
said that the past year has shown less
building in Salem than for many yewf
past. This of course has been due to
the numbor of givernment restrictions
and also to the high cost of materials
and labor. A house that would cost now
about $5000 is about the same kind of a

To our Friends and Patrons:
It's at this season of the year when we look back in retrospect
upon our successes and our failures, the one with a feeling of
contentment, the other with regret. And foremost among our
successes is the thought of friendships gained and friendships re

ed for us your friendship; our ambition, that we may always re-
tain it. We hope the passing year has brought you much to bs
