Salem is going ahead by leaps and
bounds in the next FIVE or ten year.
There is no combination of circum-
stances can stop the growth and de.
velopment Of the Capital City. We
are going to see at least three belt
lines OF electric street railways. and
one Of the best equipped plants that
money can buy at the Capital City.
On one or two Of these belt lines land
one of them will be double-tracked)
there will be paviliOns and pleasure
parks with theaters and places for
summer entertainment. The streets
will be improved so that speeding With
automobiles and fine rigs will be a
pleasure, instead of endangering ones
life. The whole of Greater Salem will
be electric lighted, and at least three
fine boulevards will be built 10 the
limits OF Greater Salem and they will
not be turned over to some corpora.

streets are now. OF course, there are
doubling Thomases, and persons who
oppose all and every step Of progress.
but the community has outgrown their
influence and the day is past when
they could keep Salem off the map by
the mere word of their mouth. sa
lem is going into the rank OF the un.
contested second city OF the state.
and the ludicrous farce of keping II
before the world as a town of four
thousand people when It has twelve to
fifteen thousand, is about at an end.
Salem will probably never be a
manufacturing city or a jobbing cen

great educational center. Fortunes

now go forward and double their at

OF the town will outnumber It's pres

had for education, and the people will
spend more money on education than
on any other desideratum OF life. sa.

a universal necessity, and the old.

There are fortunes to be made on
all lines. There is not a legitimate
line of business at Salem that can.
not be doubled and quadrupled under
modern methods. backed by the best
nerve and brains and energy of which
our people are capable. There is not
a line Of business at Salem that can.
not be duplicated, and there are great
er fortunes TO be made here than any
that have been made. In the past
comparatively few have made for.
tunes. because the policy of repres.
sion has too largely prevailed. The
few could dominate the many. keep
down all progressive spirit. and force
TO the wall every man who wanted

But the community has outgrown
those policies. Greater Salem means
the opening OF hundreds OF doors OF
opportunities for young men, and
business men, that have been closed.
