REMARKABLE GROWTH
OF Salem. "The Queen City of the South
west.v

The Salem Improvement Company,
the most successful organization of it's
kind in Virginia, had it's first sale of lots
December IL, 1889. Since that time the
growth of Salem has been marvellous.
About 400 houses have been built; ST.
600, 600 spent in buildings and improve
mcntS; the population nearly doubled,
and the business of the postoflicc and
telegraph Office increased 500 per cent.
The iron furnace about to go into blast,
the factories in operation and actually
secured will employ several thousand
hands and insure tho doubling of the
present population of 1000 in another
year
Negotiations are nearly closed for ad-
dltiOnal plants to employ several thou
sand hands, and the land companies,
with an aggregate capital stock of 81
DOC, 900, have voted liberal sums for new
industries A cotton factory and a
wooden mill (nearly completely that will
manufacture its goods into clothing,
will employ large number of females.
The early extension of tho Baltimore
and Ohio and the Roanoke and Southern
to Salem will make it an important rail
way center, and hasten it's growth into
large iron, steel and general manufac-
turing and commercial city. Salem and
Roanoke, now rapidly growing together,
are destined to be the great industrial
center of Virginia.
Salem Is the most attractive town in
Virginia.; and it may we'll be proud of
its sun passingly beautiful location, it's
healthful climate, its refined society, its
fine churches, its excellent schools, and
of Roanoke College. one of the leading
institutions in Virginia. Attractive as
q place of residence it now offorc nm
usual advantage. for manufacturing and
general business. No other town in
Virginia has ever equalled Salcm's
record of progress for the last twelve
months. The stage of experiment is
passed, and Salem is now firmly estab-
lishcd on solid industrial basis
This property adjoins the old town and
is surrounded by the lands of other
strong companies. Being inside prop
crty, 1T will continue to increase in
value. The Norfolk and Western and
the Dummy Line to Roanoke run
through it and have their passenger
stations on it. The streets have been
graded and the town system of water
works extended through it. On College
avenue, which has been we'll graded and
macadamiZcd at q cost of 50, 600, only
brick or stone buildings may be erected.
On it, tho Hotel Salem, costing $685.

for occupancy, and n number of large
business houses are in course of cree

one of the finest business thoroughfares
in Virginia.

AN INDIANS ENDURANCE.
a Hnlf-Frozen Rcdslsin Thawed Out with
Ice WATER.

Ice Water.
To show what an Indian can stand
when he has TO, may tell of an Incl
dent which happened during the winter
was with them, says the Detroit Free
Press. Toward evening, on very
cold winter day, when it was showing
just n little and drifting great deal, an
Indian came to the log house with a
jug half full of whisky and with his
rifle. imagine that the jug had been
entirely full of whisky when he started
and by the time he got to the house he
was in rather & jolly condition The Jug
and the rifle were taken away from
him and he was ordered to get to his
wigwain rs quick as he could before
darkness came on. He left, and was
supposed to have gone to tho camp, but
early next morning his squaw appeared
ut the house and said he had not come
home that night, and rs the night was
very cold she had been anxious about
him. Then the search for the lost Indian
began.
He was found in one of the sheds
near the barn under q heap of driftcd
snow, and the chances are that the
snow that was above him had helped to
save his life. The searchers for the
Indian had gone in different directions.
and it was his own squaw who, with
true Indian instinct, had tracked him
out, and she was alone when she found
him. Apparently the Indian was n
frozen corpse. She tumblcd him out of
the snow bank and pulled off his
blankets, and dragged him down to the
creek, where deep hole was cut in the
ice for the purpose of watering the
cattle Laying the Indian out on the
snow, she took pail that was beside
the ice hole, and, filling 1t repeatedly,
dashed pailful after pailful of ice water
over the body of the Indian. BY the
time the other unsuccessful searchcrs
had returned she had her old man
thawed out and seated by the fire
wrapped up In blankets. There is no
question that II he had been found by
the others and had been taken into
the house frozen us he was he would
have died ,-.-
