ing but falsehoods. The DEMOCRAT never
sneered ut its street car projects or WOODEN
mill. nor anything else that has been suc-
cossful there. 1t has had lots of fun with
It's visionary railroad projects and like
schemes. We give the papers comment as
a sample of make me tired" The Albany
Democrat makes light of the Statesman s
urgent advocacy Of the construction of n
railroad into the Santiam country. Ii is
rather n sure sign of early success to find
the Dem oerat in its present mood. Six
years ago, when the Statesman talked
street car lines in Salem, it will be remem-

facetiously. yet good line was completed
past the state house when its editor came
down the following winter to see the legis.
lature convene, and today we have in
Salem about dozen miles of well built,
well equipped electric street railway. Later,
when the Statesman talked WOODEN mill,
involving gift of $40, 900 by Salem, the
Democrat made light of the matter, but
the bonus was raised, tie mill was built
and Salem has now one of the most pros
porous woolen mills in the whole country.
Several other projects advocated by the
Statesman the past six years have met with
the sneering cheap wit of the Democrat,
but they were carried TO successful compile

feasible project has ever received the sup
port of this paper than the Santiam road
building scheme, and few years will see
it developed into fact, the mossback Dem
ocrat to the contrary notwithstanding.
