(By Henry NJ. Hanzen of Missoula,


Situated as it is on the banks of
the beautiful Willamette river, a
stream which for scenic and pic.
turesque beauty is unsurpassed by
any river in the state, and which is
equalled by but one-the Columbia
the city of Salem occupies a scenic
as we'll as a commanding and STRAIT
getic commercial position.
Salem was the scene of one of the
first permanent settlements in the
state of Oregon, and it's development
and growth from a small village up
to a modern city of 10000 popula-
ton has been slow, but steady and
stable. Its career has been free
from booms-free from that butter
fly prosperity which, leaving all
normal business conditions behind,
scars skyward like a rocket, and
then for the lack of commercial and
industrial support to sustain it in
it's fight, descends even more rapid
ly than it ascended and leaves in it's
trail deserted and empty business
houses and a general depression and
wreckage in business and financial
circles. But Salem never was ih the
past, and is not today, boom city
and while it's growth has not been
rapid it has been steady and sub
stantial, and its people are generally
contented, satisfied and prosperous.
Situated as it is in the heart of the
most fertile portion of the famous
Willamette valley, the tide of the
oceans of trade beat in upon it's
municipal boundaries, and the cur
rents of the commerce of it's indus
tIies-farming fruit raising, stock
raising, numbering, hop raising,
manufacturing and it's factories
meet and mingle in it's streets and
it has all the elements a combina-
tion of which is necessary to the
making of a great inland city, and
its future is assured.
Its Climate.
The climate of the city of Salem
and surrounding country is ideal
is almost perfect. There is absent
here the cold winters of the eastern
states-winters whose SHOWS and
whose cold wintry blasts and bliZ-
yards give them a temperament like
that of the cold and frozen north;
absent the winds that frequent those
states and which seem to never
grow weary but to blow during all
seasons of the year, developing into
raging blaZzardS in the winter and
during thA summer season sweep
continually across the plains carry
ing in their sweep great clouds of
alkali dust; absent the extreme cold
of those states in the winter and alb
sent the excessive and oppressive heat
of their summer; and absent also the
excessive and oppressive heat Of
their summer; and absent also the
humidity of the southern states and
their summer heat-the heat that
beats one down. The summers in
Salem are warm but not hot and
the winter season mild and bearing
a close resemblance to that of Cali
fornia. There is seldom any snow
in salem, and whenever it falls it
disappears the next day under the
rays of the sun, and taking it all in
all it is a climate which when con-
sidered in all seasons of the year
that is not surpassed by any state in
the union, and which when COM
pared with that of the eastern and
southern states is paradise in
which to live.

institution is also provided with &
law, medicine and theological de-
partment, and the courses offered in
these as in the institution itself are
complete and thorough. Graduates
from the school are to be found in
every walk of life, and many of
them today are accupying positions
of honor and distinction in the
state and nation. The institution is
presided over by an efficient faculty
composed of men and women from
the leading colleges of the United
States, and it ranks with the great
schools of learning of the Pacific
coast.
Besides the university the city is
provided with excellent public
schools and also several denomina-
tional schools. 1t is the boast of
the people of Salem that their pub
lie schools are excelled by none in
the western states, and that they
are equalled by few, and in it they
are sustained by facts. Both the
public and denomination schools are
under the supervision of able men
and women and are in fiourishing
condition.

STAnL WANTED IN CHI.

Jake Stahl, star first sacker of the
Boston Red Sox, who has announced
his retirement from professional base
ball to give his attention to the af-
fairs of the Washington Park Nation
al bank of this city. in which he is an
officer and stakeholder, was ap-
preached this week with a proposition
to take over a semi-pro park in this
city or play on same club. Stahl said
it was too sudden"
In discussing the matter, Stahl as
serted he liked baseball so we'll that
it was a great tempetation for him to
play on Saturdays and Sundays, which
would not interfere with his business
to a great extent, but that he had not
given the subject much thought.
At his residence last night Mr.. Stahl
said: II am out of baseball. I cannot
understand the rumors that / might be
traded to the White Sox. In fact, had
not heard of the rumors. 1t is possible
I might play semi-pro ball, but ] could
not take time to manage a team.

as If 1 had much leisure"
Stahl now resides on the south side
and, of course, would be a great draw
