Stayton, Marion County, is pic
turesquely located on the north
fork of the Santiam River about
sixteen miles from the State Capital.
1t has the advantage of two rail-
road shipping points, Kingston on
the Corvallis and Eastern is one and
One-half miles south. West Stayton
on the Southern Pacific railroad is
three miles west. Stayton is the ter
minus of one of the extensions of the
Portland, Salem and Eugene r. R.,
the survey by the Welsh syndicate
having been completed two years ago,
and the right-of-way procured for a
large part of the distance The en-
terprise was caught short in the
bankers panic and has not been re-
vived since. Stayton offers splendid
inducements for an electric line. 1t
is practically the key to the Will
lamette Valley. An electric line
mand the trade of five towns, be-
sides making a very direct connec-
tion between the county seat and the
entire Santiam country.
Homes, Churches and Lodges.
Located in the foothills of the
Cascade Mountains, Stayton has a
very healthy climate, it has pure
mountain drinking water and excel
lent drainage. 1t is near enough
to the mountains to have good fish
ing for all lovers of that sport.
There are a number of churches
with strong congregations, and all
the lodges are we'll represented. In
the public schools ten grades are
taught by five teachers, and about
$50 pupils are enrolled.
A Manufacturing Town.
Stayton has been well described as
the biggest little manufacturing
town in western Oregon. There are
nearly a dozen different enterprises
with good payrolls, which in addi-
tion to large farming trade from
all the surrounding country, makes
Stayton a very prosperous COM
munity.
Good Building Campaign.
This year is opening well with
good building prospects. The new
Odd Fellows block, so by 100 is a
two story concrete block building.
The upper floor will be used entire
ly for lodge purposes. There will be
fine banquet room, kitchen and
toilet with a large lodge hall Other
lodges may use the building as Stay
ton is a strong lodge town, nearly
all the popular orders being repre-
sented
Another fine business building will
be the Thomas grocery store, 25 by
100, also of concrete blocks. New
resiences are planned for DR., Thomp-
son, A. ]. Caldwell, VIM. Magg, and
many others will be built this COM
ing season.
Good Shipping Point.
The amount of freight that
originates at Stayton is very large,

into the manufacturing business on
easy terms.
Fine Grocery Store.
Thomas & Son are erecting'a fine
concrete grocery store, that will cost
about $4,000. 1t will have a plate
glass front and marks the success
of this firm which began business
here in a small way and have built
up one of the best trades in the Will
lamette Valley.
Home of Judge QueeneP.
Stayton is the home of the Hon.
Bill Queener. justice of the peace,
bedrock Democrat, and all-around
legal adviser for the community

much as hair-splitting lawyer, but
he has the confidence Of the people
to some extent and has the love and
admiration of six daughters and sew

eral sons, and is happy grandfather
ii happy little community to which
he has contributed to the best of his
ability.
Has a Live Newspaper.
Stayton has a live newspaper man
in John Alden seabury, who is do
ing a good business handling a local
paper and pushing out a great deal
of advertising matter and job print
| ing. Mr.. Seabury is an enthusiast
for pedestrian tours, and is plan
ming a ten thousand mile tramp
afoot with his son Arthur, who will
be fourteen years old the day the
trip begins. They propose to go
from El Paso, Texas, through Cen
tral and South America to Buenos
Ayres, Argentine.
StaytOn Dry Town.
Those who want to locate in a
Prohibition town ought to try Stay
ton. not because It is bowling sue
cess but to convince themselves that
town can be a good orderly town
in spite of absence of regulation. 1t
is not called bootlegging here, but
the express offices on both railroads
ship in a great deal OF booze. Stay
ton had at one time four saloons,
which was too many and was the
cause of the town going dry. Two
well-regulated saloons could be run
here and get far better results for
the community than the way things
are now That is the opinion OF the
vets and the town will probably go
into the wet column at the earliest
opportunity.
Facts About Stayton.
Stayton Commercial club has
printed a leaflet telling about the re-
sources OF the community:
"stayton can truthfully offer more
and better advantages to the seeker
OF home than almost any other place
in Uncle Sans domain. Soil, eli
mate, markets, water. fuel, lumber,

grains. stock, poultry, employment.

enumerate the many reasons why
Stayton is the bert place to make a

heartily welcomed and will soon
wonder why you so long suffered

DUCKS AID OFFICERS
 IN MAKING ARRESTS

Constable Frank Stewart and De- putty Constable Jim Moore, who dis tinguished themselves several weeks ago by taking two bold, negro bur- glars while they were in the act of entering a home on State street, made another find at o'clock yesterday morning, when they arrested Hilliard Reed, a negro, while the elatter was walking around in the yard of Wolf Nichols, on West Second avenue. The negro was in his stocking feet and was carrying his shoes. When he came out of the gate the officers polk ed two revolvers ill his face and took him to headquarters. The negro said he had been calling on the house girl, but the house girl did not tell the same story. A charge of trespassing was docketed against Reed in Magis- trate Frazier's court. The quacking of some ducks in the rear of the Ni- chols' home attracted the officers to the place and they waited few min utes and soon discovered Reed in the yard. Reed is ill the county jail.
