ness houses, public schools lodges
church and social organizations, be-
sides having one Of the most noted ho-
tels in the state. Glendale might be
called an annex TO Salem If IL were not
30 fsr away, for 1t has a large Salem
colony of business people. The latest
acquisition from here is the firm Of
Harding & Bowersox, composed Of y.
J. Harding and +. @. Bowersox, who
are conducting general merchandise
business there Hon. II. G.. Sonnemann

his new home. b. l.. Darby, son of

Bowersox, who went from here TO Glen
dale, has removed TO Jacksonville and
is now in the east taking a post grad
uate course ia medicine. There are also
the four Jones boys who formerly
lived near the Swartz sawmills east Of
salem, and their knsman, w. A. Mar
shAl, formerly of Salem. But Salem
isn't quite the whole thing, for Glen
dale has many hospitable, active peo-
pie from all parts Of the world.
While the place is not large, it is
always bustling and growing. They
are now talking of having the main
streets of the town properly graded
and improved, and there is also talk Of
water works. For the latter, the water
can be obtained from Section creek,
which belongs 10 the Sol Abrams es
tate, and runs just above the town.
From thence a good gravity system
could be built ut small expense, and
everybody in the town feels the need
Of protection against fire.
Glendale is a central point for con
siderable mining activity and is the
natural outlet for the Grecnback,
Martha, Goldbug, Benton and Kramer,
and other good mines. Besides this
and the logging and wood interests
thero is good farming industry being
developed in little valleys around
about.
