The city Of Salem is after mountain
water and intends to have it. A wise
move and one that should have been
made long ago. Practically all Of the
cities up and down the length Of the
Willamette Valley are SO situated that
pure mountain water can be secured
at very nominal cost and there is no
good reason why any Of them should
be without it.
