OF II in the bank. When Holman
took II the business was $500 In
debt. In eight years after Holman
left the business Drake died owing
the bank $4,000, and the plant was
sold to several different parties and
finally went into the hands OF the
present owners for about $4,000. II
is today considered worth at least
fifty thousand dollars and is doing
the largest business in its history.
In 1890 Holman bought two -fifths
interest in the Albany Iron Works
when 1t was $500 in debt. 1t Is
today worth at least $4,000 and
has melted $50 tons of iron the
present year. John Holman is a

OF men enlist the pride and the best

years who are working in the iron in

undertaker's layout and too little to
laying out the dollars.
Speaking OF the opportunities TO
make money in Salem, they are as
good as ever In the past. The fran
chise that has been granted A.
Welch in this city will in twenty
years II acted upon have net value
OF million dollars. II It only paid
operating expenses for that length
of time, and the city grows In twen-
ty years under progressive policies
to be a city OF fifty or sixty thousand
people In that time, II would easily
be worth that money. Here is a city
that has an assessed value OF ten
million dollars with ten MILLION dol
lars OF capital held by its citizens.
The state institutions located here
have gross value OF at least FIVE mil
lion dollars, and employ the year
around, at a low estimate a thou
sand people. having a payroll OF a
million dollars. The corporations
doing business here have a value of
fve millions capitalization and a
payroll OF about half a million year
For opportunities 10 come in here
and do business with this commun-
ity why should not corporations pay
somthing? Why should not individ-
uals and firms pay for the privilege
OF coming here and sharing in this
magnificent opportunity TO make
money? The city government Is
foolish to grant valuable privileges
for the mere asking.
One of the industries that is build
ing up into large proportions rapid
ly is the Salem Iron Works. The
writer had a talk with Col. John
Holman. the oldest master maehin-
ist in western oregon, now manager
OF the Albany Iron Works. He was
a lathe man and mechanic from his
boyhood and understands the prae-
tieal operation OF iron manufacture
from A to 2, In 1867 he went Ia
work for b. +. Drake at Salem. and
in 1857 took charge. He had but
one lathe and In 1865 bought an
other on tick at oregon city. He

A Salem man who travels over the
state a great deal was in Prineville
the other day and had pleasant visit
with J. N. Williamson, late con-
gressman from the second district,
and indicted for land frauds, With
sentence pending in the federal
courts, along with Marion Briggs
and DR.. Alonzo Van Gesner. He
says Mr.. Williamson is as popular as
ever In Crook county, that he has
built himself a fine residence, and
he and his family are as we'll thought
OF there as ever. The Salem man
says John could be elected TO almost
my Office In the county, and the
Democrats to man would support
him in Prineville. He has appealed
20 the United States supreme court
on the ground that he was arrested
and tried while still a member OF
congress, and that the constitution
grants members OF congress immun-
fly from arrest and trial while serv'
ing their constituents. This is a FIX
ed principle OF the constitution of the
United States and Mr.. Williamson
will probably never serve a term In
prison OF any kind. The personal
integrity OF John Newton William
son has never been called in question
and he is enjoying good health and
personal popularity among his
friends and neighbors. 81
