SALEM'S SPLENDID SHOWING
HER PHENOMENAL GROWTH
IN POPULATION AND WEALTH
The Excellent Work Of the Board Of Trade Responsible for Much
Of Her POSpry-3A Buildings Erected or RemOdeed Street
Car Lines Rebut-Neay Two Miles Of Paved Streets and
1000 Added to Her Population Are Only Part of the Years
Accomplishments

year, It is believed that an equal
number of buildings has gone up in
the surrounding districts. as hum
dreds of new homes have been start
ed on small fruit farms, and scores
of substantial improvements have
been made on older farms.
Heavy Investments Made.
Another item of great Importance
is the list of investments made by
newcomers in this community. While
such list can hardly be made com
plete owing to the personal and busi-
ness reasons of the investors, II will
be gratifying to know that com
pllatlon of about seventy-flve invest
ments by newcomers has been made,
which shows total of $262, ,425.
This is n bona fide list, but can un-
der no circumstances be complete.
Hence. Il is probably safe to esti-
mate that the amount of new money
brought into this community during
the past year by emigrants from
other states, is in the neighborhood
of half a million dollars.
street Paving.
Another item of great Importance
TO our city during the past year has
been the paving movement. In the
neighborhood of two miles of btu
lithic treets have been put down at
great expense, and. as result of this
the street car lines in the territory
covered have been entirely rebuilt
and their portion of the streets thor
oughly paved. involving an expense
of S135,000 alone. Owing to the
great width of our streets, the paw
ing problem has been deferred until
this late time, but now it Is found
necessary In order to keep pace with
the spirit OF the times TO have our
public thoroughfares put in the best
possible order. The city authorities
have already taken steps TO pursue
the paving system extensively the
coming year. and 1909 promises
great results in this direction.
Annual Horse Show.
Many smaller enterprises have
been undertaken which have added
to the prestige OF our city not a
little. Among them, series OF pub
lie entertainments which have be-
come permanent events In our city.
Early In the spring the Annual
Horse Show was given on our city
streets. Upon that occasion. several
hundred OF the best thoroughbred
horses In the Northwest were lined
up I'm the parades. and the estimate
of conservative horsemen was that
the value of the stock shown upon
that occasion aggregated $1,000, 900,
Ten thousand visitors We're brought
10 the city. including excursions on
the Southern Pacific and the Oregon
Electric IL was a great event for
all lovers of horses, and will no
doubt be greater another year.
Zig Cherry Fair.
Next, was the Third Annual Cherry
Fair, held under pavilion on the
beautiful court house square. Upon
this occasion Salem again demon
strated her right TO the title Of the
Cherry city of the World. For three
days thousands OF visitors thrOnged
our city. Automobile, steam and

from distant points, including Al
bany. Eugene, and Portland, and
everybody, including the fruit grow
ers and their suburban friends, had
a most enjoyable season.
Fourth of July.
Last, but not least of the enter
tainments was a magnificent Fourth
of July celebration, held. as usual in
our city, and while IL was not given
under the auspices of the Board of
Trade, IL was practically handled by
active members of the organization.
state Dairy Association.
Through the efforts of the Board
of Trade during the past month, the
State Dairy Association convention
and exhibit of products was held in
this city. This also brought hum
dreds of visitors, and Il was declared
the most successful convention of
dairymen ever held in the state.
HonOrs AZ Apple Fair.
During November, Salem was in
evidence at the Albany Apple Fair,
An excursion of nearly 400 went from
the Cherry City to the Apple City
Of the Valley. We not only cap
tured the grand prize for Marion
county, but out neighbors across the
river took the next prize for Polk
county. In addition to this, we cap
tured the hearts of the Albany peo-
pie by our unexpected presence In
such numbers. A delightful day was
spent and much good was accom-
pl'shed by the interchange of cour-
tesies
Rose Festival Boosting.
During the spring months, when
Portland gave to the world that
great Rose Festival which attracted
attention everywhere, Salem enjoyed
the distinction OF sending down the
most visitors of any city in the state
and participating in the wonderful
exhibit OF flowers, by shipping down
carloads of beautiful roses during
the days of the festival. For this the
Board of Trade is under great obliga.
tons TO the ladies of Salem. and the
generous act brought liberal com
pensaton In unstinted needs OF
praise to the Cherry City for its en-
terpriing people.
Mountain Water System.
Due to the activity OF the Board
OF Trade, several enterprises OF a
large and extensive character are be-
ing developed along conservative
lines, which Will add greatly TO our
potency among the cities OF the
Northwest. Perhaps the greatest OF
these is the effort on the part OF
citizens VINO are members OF this
organization, 10 bring about the
consummation OF a joint enterprise
between the state and city for the
establishment OF magnificent noun
tain water system. Surveys are be-
ing made and estimates perfected,
upon which TO base the probable ex-
pense, and, II the expense should be
considered within the reach OF the
community IL will be presented later
