row will say:
A moderate reduction in commercial

several leading PRODUCERS announce
that the customary summer shutdown
will be entirely omitted or curiailei

The heavy movement Of merchandise Is
attested by an increase IN railway earn
ings thus far reported for June OF lle

of 1905. and foreign commerce at ms

THE DEVELOPMENT or SALEM

Above all other interests there
stands out the necessity for the gem
eral development Of the Capital City.
IL is far more important than per-
sonal politics.
All know what a struggle II has
taken to even include the city itself
WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS.
The new charter Is still being
fought In the courts nearly four
years after its adoption.
All recall what an effort 1t has
taken TO even get the population Of
the city correctly reported In the
railroad time tables. We are still
known as a city OF only 5000 people.
The construction OF better streets
has been hard fight from the start,
but A GOOD START HAS BEEN
MADE, and the development OF the
city along right lines is impossible
without better streets.
The battle for better sidewalks
and crosswalks has been won. II is
now accepted that property owners
must build concrete or wooden
walks as fast as ordered by the city
councll.
About five miles OF new sidewalks
have been ordered built by the coun-
ell. and three new mali carriers are
20 be given the city. one for each
new ward The new wards especial
ly need MORE WALKS AND MORE
ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
The new wards OF the city have
not received at the hands of the city
council the attention they deserve.
Beyond few crosswalks and few
electric lights what have the new
wards TO show for the taxes they
have paidY
In the city budget for the coming
pear provision must be made for the
new wards. They are improving rap
Idly The city will have more rev
enues. Improvement OF the new
wards Is the key to the rapid growth
OF Salem.

PUSH THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The public schools are the peoples
college. The full twelve-grade Sa-
lem schools, with a four-year high
school. are the best in the state.
Every friend of the free school
will be glad to see that the attend
ance is increasing at a rapid rate.
The gain the past week in the six
schools was 152 PUPILS.
The North school made the ban
ner increase for the week of AS. The
Park school came next with Al, and
there was A FINE GAIN IN ALL OF
THEM.
City Superintendent Powers and
the principals of the ward schools
are giving this matter personal at
tention, and enrolment the first
month should be the largest in the
history of Salem.
Every teacher can, by inquiring
into the whereabouts of children,
increase the attendance In each
room, AND FILL UP THE CLASS
rs.
With a compulsory education law,
with free textbooks for all who can
not afford to buy them, all the chill
dren should be in school.
II .all will make the effort this
week will show ANOTHER BIG
GAIN IN ATTENDANCE. The
schools are free to all between the
age of six and twenty-one.

DOLLARS are being spent each week
