was greatly surprised two years ago
when BE was defeated for renonina-
lion in The Democratic primary by Tt
tie Joe Brown. whom he had dismissed
from office As q member ST the State
Railroad Commission. Little Joe's'
victory seemed 10 put Hoke's light cut.
But the latter apparently gave much
thought 10 the causeS OF his downfall.
and rightly Judged that they could not
operate q second time His analysis
was vindieated by the vote cast last
Tuesday
Mr. Smith undoubtedly owed his first
nomination for Governor. IL 1896. 10 the

son Watson was n P0pulist. but as all
white voters are allowed 90 participate

and as ZIr Watson's local following was
considerable his support Of Smith turned

In most of the comments passed on

Do none of the offenders read the news

seizures of dutiable articles have been

in which returning travellers have been
placed by their neglect to comply with

therefore, betrays a strange degree Of
reckIessness or ignorance.

prove that our community is doing
it's full part in this happy transition.
To start with, the past year has
seen several thousand good, indus
trious families come into our COM
munity. They are home builders.
They have sought out the best coun-
try of which they can learn and they
are here doing things. This is a
great boon to these people, and they
are living up to one of the highest
possibilities of social existence. They
are helping themselves and thereby
helping the people with whom they
come in contact. In gaining their
heritage they are giving our COM
munity development and prosperity
which is substantial and permanent.
These people have brought into
our county during the past year
about $2,OOO,OOO in investments.
This is a large sum, but it is only a
small matter compared with the in
fluence this new accretion of people
will have on our future. They have
brought a far greater wealth in their
intellectual and commercial side. 1t
is a wealth which will beget even a
greater wealth both for themselves
and for the land of their adoption.
To be more specific, they have
brought an increase to our schools
of about 20 per cent, both in the
census enumeration and attendance.
They have brought to our city an in
crease of 1873 per cent in new build
ings over the previous year. The
value of civic improvements is in
creased over $1,O0O,OOO. The land
sales have increased 100 per cent.
Our postal receipts have increased
20 per cent. Over a quarter of a
million dollars has been spent in
paving and sidewalk building of al
permanent character. Our county's
has increased about ST.
100000. Our university has had a
general increase OF 26 per cent and
an increase in new students over last
year Of 1872 per cent. Our bank de-
posits have increased virtually 25
per cent.
These are dry figures, to be sure,
but they point to the more vital fact

field school was opened to relieve, in
measure, the situation.
The Willamette University, which
is making the greatest stride in its
history, can now boast of one of the
finest modern college buildings on
the Pacific Coast. But yesterday it
was overwhelmingly in debt and it's
underpaid instructors were often
forced to wait months till some
charitably inclined citizen advanced
the amount of their pay. Today the
school is not only out Of debt but it
can boast of an endowment fund
mounting rapidly toward the quarter
Of a million mark.
No one ever accused our Uncle
Samuel of stuffing the ballot, and
the stamp-lickilg public can rest as
sured that when it's pennies roll over
the glass bottomed cage at the post
office. they go in the book once and
once only; so If any one doubts that
in the last four calendar years the
postal receipts in Salem have in
creased from $27,151.37 to $43,-
659,O5 they will find the aforesaid
gentleman very hard to convince
that he is suffering with a case of
astigmatism.
Some cities have favorite method
of showing growth by citing the city
directory, bank clearings and other
flexible mediums, but when city
can point to the very substantial and
matter of fact tax roll which the un-
welcome assessor carries under his
arm, it has this virtue at least that
no one can accuse the unwilling tax
payer of striving to boost" that
particular document.
The assessed valuation of all prop
erty in the city of Salem for the
year 1906 was $2,64O.61s; for the
year 1909 the figure is approximate
ly s9,O0O,OOO. It is true that
large share of this phenomenal In
crease is due to revised method of
but the greatest increase
is shown to be in the actual adj

SALEM OF
TODAY and
YESTERDAY
HAS GROWN IN WEALTH AND
BEAUTY AND THE COUNTRY
TOWN OF n FEW YEARS AGO
is ONE OF THE LIVLIEST AND
PRETTIEST CITIES ON THE
COAST.

A careful perusal of the City'i
records will show the remarkable
strides made in street improvement
during the past three years. The
docket of city liens is a book re
quired by the charter to show the as
sessments made against property
for the improvement of streets, etc
The present record was opened six
teen years ago and in the first thir.
teen years of its use, fifteen pages
were consumed in the enrolment OF
liens, while in the past three years
172 pages were consumed. A still
further investigation of the records
will show that In the three years
just passed more money has been
put into the improvement of streets
than in all the prior sixty years of
the city's history combined. What
better evidence of Salem's aroused
civic spirit and remarkable develop
ment can be produced?
With the completion of the work
now in hand, Salem will be the best
paved city on the Pacific Coast, and
pride to the great State which she
serves as the seat of government.
Four years ago, Wilson avenue
was a hay field, saving for the fire
departments feed bill fully Sass
per annum. Today 1t is a restful
park adorned with flowers, shrubs
and wide expanses of well-kept lawn.
A landscape architect has recently
been employed by the city to plat
the entire park and has reported a.
scheme of adornment, which. IL
worked up to from year to year, viii
give the city the most beautiful
park in Oregon.
Parks are one Of the very best in
vestments city can make. In their
silent way they arouse more admira-
tion and draw the heart strings Of
the stranger more toward city per-
haps, than any other one public
utility.
Nothing is a more certain index Of,
a city's growth than its school
progress, and certainly no one factor
is more potent in attracting a desir-
able class Of residents than good
schools. Salem's school facilities
have not only doubled in the last
five years, but the actual enrolment
shows corresponding increase.

school building which. by the way,

The spirit of enterprise is truly
alive in Oregon, and nowhere more
than at Salem, its beautiful Capital
City. Unlike some phases, the
spirit of enterprise is not pre-
sumed to cover multitude of sins,
but in the mind of nearly every
westerner it covers an endless array
of good things. 1 do not look upon
it as the much coveted alchemy that
turns dross into gold, nor the mod
ern magic that would make some
thing out of nothing, but rather the
broad, business-like common sense
that puts natural conditions and
forces together in such a way as to
produce a substantial prosperity for
all.
The spirit of enterprise eliminates
the knocker and puts forth the
worker, the producer, the builder
the best constructive genius of the
community. Salem and the sur
rounding country need his spirit and
the people here have invoked 1t just
enouge to begin to realize what it
can do for them If they will only
let It,
The people Of the West have
hope in this land of promise, which
they have been trying to realize
since the first pioneers landed here.
They have a goodly heritage, and

need only to make the most of it
They are like the man in the Scrip
lures with the proverbial talents, and
while that was a long time ago some
are only now beginning to learn how
to make the most of them.
President James j. Hill of the
Great Northern Railway recently
said, What Oregon needs is more
people to locate on the lands and
cultivate them" The great minds
in the Eastern States are saying the
solution of their social problem is
the return to the SOIL" Hill has
brought railroads to what he con-
siders the best of virgin soil and
now he discovers that all it needs
is men. At the same time men in
the East have discovered that all
they need is contact with this soil.
1t remains for the spirit of enter
prise to put the man and the soil to-
gether and thus bring about the
happy consummation of great
idea.
1t is the function of the Salem
Board of Trade to put these two
good things together, to help those
belated people of the East to help
themselves and thereby help our
magnificent Oregon country. And
just to illustrate how this is being
done some statements of fact Will
