One OF the greatest hardshlps suffer.

SALEM TO PAVE THREE BLOCKS
Contracts Aggregating S23,49S Have
Been Let.

Salem will pave, says the Salem
Statesman. There is no longer any
doubt regarding the Inauguration of
paving in this city and the move
ment is destined to grow.
The city council last evening
awarded the contract of paving State
street with hitulithic pavement to the
Warren Construction company.
The improvement is to extend from
the east side of Commercial street to
the west line of Church street and
the work will begin as soon as the
contract is signed Ivy the city and the
contracting company.
1t cannot be ascertained how long
period 1t will ltake to terminate the
improvement. One of the require
ments for fast work is dry weather
and when once started the work will
be pushed forward with all due dis
patch, providing that the weather is
propitious.
The contract calls for three blocks
of paving at total cost of s23,4sS.92.
In the three blocks of paving are
S00S square yards, the cost of the
paving alone, to be $50 per square
yard, in addition to the curbs.

To establish the largest dairy In

n herd of ESQ cows to furnish the nu-
cleus of the raw material to keep a
mammoth cheese and butter factory In

wood, the wealthy rancher of the
state line district north of Freewa-
ter.
Eventually to supply the entire
northwest with cheese and other
dairy products is Mr.. Lockwood's in
tention and machinery for the big
manufacturing plant has been order
ed.
For the first time in the history of
the state the new milking machine
recently patented and now being used
with success In the eastern states.
will be installed on the Lockwood
farm and all the latest improved
dairy machinery will be used from
! the time the cows are milked until
| the raw material is transformed by a
| powerful plant into the finished pro-
ducts of commerce.
What the cost of the new enter
prise will be is not definitely known,
| but it will run into the thousands.
! Proximity to the electric railway
will give the plant the best of facili-
ties for shipping and a lucrative field
for trade lies at the very doors of the
proposed factory.
If the milking machine comes up
to expectations Mr.. Lockwood expects
to be able to greatly reduce the cost
of converting the milk into cheese
and he will be able to enter active
i competition with the large CON-
lanies at Tillamook and Spokane
which are at present supplying the
greater part of the demand in the
three northwestern states.
