County Recorder Starr's right
hand man, L. F. Conn, is very
much right handed just now. In
fact he is "boil"-ing over in that
part of his anatomy and will not be
a "write" handed nor a right han
dy man till the boil subsides. (After
the severe mental strain following
the foregoing effort the local item
izsr was observed to go on Commer
cial street probably to reduce the
cerebral temperature with a dish of
ice cream.)
Art You Vaccinated?
McMinnville has a case of small
pox. Man' persons have been ex
posed to the contagion by the victim
and the boon companion by whom
he was infected wliilo drinking and
associating. Suppose, that in conse
quence, old topers and modorate
drinkers should now bo afraid to go
round to their old haunts, the sa
loons, that new county seat of Yam
hill might break out simultaneously
ith small pox and a temperance
boom. The authorities are using
precautions to prevent the spread of
the disease.
On Thursday night was heard a
sound as though the branch road
from the O. P. railroad heading to
the Cascades had reached Salem and
nad a track along State street. For
he veritable whistle and puff, puff
w a moving engine were to be heardj
it proved, however, to be a heavy
traction engine, propelled by steam,
tawing harvesting apparatus from
fleld on one side of town to
wother one on the east of the city.

New Bnildingsfiood GardensThe
Orphans and the Sick.
In a drive around the eastern part
of town, a Journal reporter noted
that Mr. Dove, a newcomer from
Minnesota, has erected a neat little
house for residence, and his neigh
bor, Mr. Robt, Ashburn, the baker
at the asylum, is building another
for himself and family. In that
neighborhood are young peach trees
proving that this fruit can bo grown
with considerable success in any or
dinary season in the Willamette, al
though it is not its natural home.
H. W. Savage Is fixing up a new
windmill, and adding a hundred
feet to his greenhouse.
The grounds and gardens of the
asylum, orphans' home and private
residences show the richness of the
soil and ability to keep vegetation
green and growing through summer
months when not a drop of rain
falls. Seeing cabbage, squash, beets,
potatoes and corn, fresh nud green,
the writer's companion, a Kansas
man, remarked that with no more
rain there than had here fallen dur
ing the past weeks crops would be
fast drying up. And the papers and
private letters say that tho hot
winds are already cutting down the
crops in some parts of that state
from one-third to one-half, or even
more. No wonder that people there
catch tho western fever, when reli
able word reaches them of the advan
tageous contrast. Bo sure and keep
them posted.
Tho Orphans' home was visited.
The large, new building has too re
cently been described in these col
umns to need further mention. Un
der Mrs. Dr. Shelton's matronly care
are twelve boys and six girls from
various counties, their ages varying
from three months to thirteen years.
The oldest is a girl one of W. S.
Smith's, the deaf mute. She and
Kitty Miller prove very helpful to
tho matron. The youngest child is
George, a very bright and interest
ing babe of three months, evidently
of intelligent parentage, but sup
posed to be abandoned by both
father and mother, becauso born out
of wedlock. It is tho pet of the
household. Tho child is very sick
of an infantile aliment. Should it
recover it is offered for adoption by
any ono who would satisfy the
ladles' committee that it would have
a good home and be well cared for.
The next call was at Mr. E. N.
Law's. Ho is the gentleman who
met with tho accident to his kneo
at the saw mill. Being a total ab
stainer from all intoxicating liquors,
and in good health, tho wound is
rapidly healing. The only question
is whether the bones will knit so as
to make a stiff joint. As there is no
hope of its ever being fit for use this
is more desirable- than a limber and
useless leg, yielding no support, and
with tho knees always out of place.
Mr. and Mrs. Law show commend
able philosophy, over the event, and
instead of bewailing their misfor
tune speak gratefully of tho kindness
of strangers who, they say, could
not have acted more generously if
they had been old neighbors of a
lifetime. The employes of tho asy
lum were particularly good If any
distinction could bo made In sit
ting up of nights, two at a time
when that was necessary. Salem
certainly keeps up her reputation in
tills direction. Though not a hint
was uttered by them, it is reasonable
to suppose that further help will be
needed and acceptable, for a while,
at least.
Ahead on Comparison.
The Statesman should be present
ed with the champion belt or cako
or whatever might be appropriate
for tho man who can go clear ahead
of everybody else in the matter of
chaste, classical and patriotic com
parisons. In its editorial columu
to-day it compares tho president of
the United States with u dog and
makes tho official head of the nation
come out "second best." Not long
since it was a hog that it compared
the president with, and then tho
hog was reported to boon n par
with, if not ahead of, the chief
magistrate.
A False Knmor.
"An onnuiror" is informed that
there is beliovod tobo no foundation
for the supposition that the Salem
boot and shoo dealers are ubing any
influence with the city couneil to
liavo thorn allowed tht big, ugly
nalla to stick out of the sluewalKs

pedestrians' boots and shoes.

THE HOME OF TUB T00R.
As nothing has appeared in print
for some time about Marion county's
"home for the poor," perhaps a
sketch of that place would prove In
teresting to at least a few of tho
Joubnal'b readers.
Considerable credit is duo to tho
present manager, Mr. Illldgc, and
his wife, as they havo proved to bo
the right peoplo in tho right place;
and as the time draws near, when
they go to their own farm, they
must surely leave with a conscience
clear that they havo tried to fulfill
their trust. There havo also been
somo valuable improvements made
during their administration, which
add a much better appearauco to
tho place. There are somo old
gentlemen as Inmates there who
consider it a duty as well as a
pleasure to improvo their home by
clearing up the land and, fitting It
for cultivation. In a few years, if
they are as diligent as they havo
been In the past, Marlon county
will have to Invest in some more
real estate on which to install its
poor, so that tho:o who are able can
help to earn their living. There are
two old gentlemen there who should,
by all means, bo drawing pensions,
having served in tho war for several
years, and received wounds which
disable them from earning their
own living, and it seems a shame
that these old soldiers should die In
tho poor house; but with the aid of
Mr. Illidge, they aro still trying to
obtain their just dues, but havo not
met with success as yet. And there
aro some who aro able to do a littlo
work, if only enough for bodily
exercise, but they prefer "sitting in
tho shade." Mrs. York is tho only
lady inmate there, and as many
know, was deserted by her husband,
then sent to tho asylum, and after
wards taken to tho poor house.
Perhaps some peoplo would say tho
proper place for her is in tho asylum,
as sho is subject to epileptic tits, and
requires constant waching by tho
worthy matron, Mrs. Illldgc.
Besides theso there aro also some
who through sickness and trouble
havo becomo poor, and as they havo
no relatives to support them In
their declining days thoy aro very
unwillingly supported by tho
county.
Perhaps, right hero, it might bo
said that prohibition might prove a
remedy which would prevent so
many of our citizens from ending
their last days in tho poor house,
and others being taxed to support
them. D- T.
The Oregon l'aclllc Hard at It.
Mr. E. M. Walto called at this
ofllco to tell the result of hlsobserva
tlons on tho railroad. ThoO. & C.
is busy laying mils, having already
passed Stay ton. Tho engineers
expect to pass Don Smith's this fall
If somo considerable bridges and
blasting do not hinder. Mr. Walte
and others went up tho track live
miles beyond Smith's, and t award
the narrows, and found that tho
winter rains had hardly washed out
anything wortli speaking of. There
Is a camp of engineers there, and, as
inuehofthegradlngiscoinparatlvoly
easy, rapid progress will bo made
when that neighborhood Is reached.
SUIpliiK Fruit to Chicago.
The enorgetic firm of Squire Farrar
& Co., aro doing a good thing for
fruit growers this season as they did
last. Purchasing Bartlett pears
from those who have small orchards,
by tho wagon load they accumulate
a car-load and then despatch it to
Chicago. This week thoy havo sent
two of 600 boxes each woighlng -M
ltH. They will shortly send a car
load of apples and pears to Montanu.
They believe they can build up a
trade mutallv nrolltablo to them
selves and to those of whom they
buy.
