REMARKABLE GROWTH
Of Salem, 1.-THE Queen City of
the Southwest" in One Year.

The Salem Improvement Company,
tho most successful organization of it's
kind in Virginia, had its first sale of lots
December IL, 1850. Since that time the
growth of Salem has been marvellous.
About 400 houses have been built; ST.
100000 spent in buildings and improve
ments; tho population nearly doubled,
and the business of the postoiiice 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 the doubling of the
present population of 1000 in another
year. Among the industries recently
secured are rolling mill from Cincin-
natl, the Olcan Speed Cart Works from
Olean, n. Y, and wire nail works from
Parkersburg, w. Va.
Negotiations are in progress for adj
dltional plants to employ a large num-
Der of hands, and the land companies,
with an aggregate capital stock of
Sl,0OO,0OO, have voted liberal sums
for new industries. A wooden
mill (ncarly completely that will
manufacture its goods into clothing,
will employ a large number of females.
Tho carly extension of tho Baltimore
and Ohio and the Roanoke and Southern
to Salem will make it an important rail
way center, and hasten its growth into
large iron, steel and general manufac-
turing and commercial city. Salem and
Roanoke, now rapidly growing together,
are destined to be tho great Industrial
center of Virginia.
The proximity of the great Flat Ton
coal fields, the choapness of tho famous
Pocahontas coal and coke, the abundant
supply of iron orc, timber, and other
raw materials, make Salem an advan-
tagcous point for manufactures.
Salem is tho most attractive town in
virginia.; and it may we'll DO proud of
its SUI passingly beautiful location, it's
healthful climate, its refined society, its
fine churches, its excellent schools, and
of Roanoke College, ono of tho leading
institutions in Virginia. Attractive as
place of residence, it now offers un-
usual advantages for manufacturing and
general business. No other town in
Virginia has ever equalled Salem's
record of progress for tho last twelve
menths. The stage of experiment is
passed, and Salem is now firmly estab-
lished on solid industrial basis.
The property Of the Salem Improve
ment Company adjoins tho old town and
Is surrounded by the lands OF other
strong companies. Being inside prop
erty, it will continue to increase in
value. The Norfolk and Western and

J The Pnre water Problem an Important
Topic Among the Legislators.


Topic Among the Legislators.
HARRISBURG, April 18.-"The legislG-
tive mill must grind till the water bill is
passed, remarked facetious member
Of the legislature this morning when
asked about the adjournment in May.
Interest in the pure water question has
been revived and the friends of the
measure have taken fresh hope since the
introduction of Senator Steels bill last
week. The numerous amendments to
the original bill and the final indefinite
postponement of its consideration prac-
tically killed the measure although
many of It's more sanguine friends
hoped 20 resuscitate it. They have now
decided to let it sleep at least for the
present and will direct all their energies
to pushing the new bill. Mr.. Steels
bill is not so radical q measure as the
former one nor is it all that the pure
water advocates desire, but they have
very sensibly concluded that half q loaf
is better than no bread, and will act
upon the advice of the Spanish proverb,
"1f you cannot get what you like, like
what you can get.
Senator Steel's bill makes it unlawful
to put into any pond, lake or stream or
any tributary the carcass of any animal,
OF any other substance calculated to
render poisonous or dangerous to health
OF unfit for domestic use. Fine not ex-
ceeding $500 or imprisonment not exceed
ing six months, or both, is provided for
violation of the act If the nuisance
exists at the time of the convictions the
courts of common pleas are authorized
to direct the defendant or the sheriff, at
the expense of the defendant, to abate it.
The courts are given the power of courts
Of chancery for the prevention or abate-
ment of acts declared unlawful by the
bill upon bill filed for that purpose by
any person or corporation engaged in
the supply of water to the public or any
public institution.
The friends of the measure hold that
the question of pure water for domestic
uses is one of vital Importance, and they
claim to have the unanimous support of
the people in town and country along
the larger streams, barring those who
are polluting the water. They point to
the fact that water well known to
contain the germs of disease is promptly
closed by the health officers in the
towns, but that thousands of gallons Of
water containing all kinds of filth and
all sorts of germs are delivered daily to
consumers through the mains of public
water works, both for drinking and
cooking purposes, without let or hinder
ance, and the only way to avoid the evil
is to keep the source of supply pure.
The legislature resumed business
promptly to-day and will push things
from this time until the final adjourn
mani
