He is said to have made a speech
to members OF the board last evening
in which he clearly told them that Mr.
Bruce was his assistant, to be re-
moved or retained at his pleasure un-
less definite charges Of misconduct
were preferred against him.
And the superintendent got away
with It." That is the unanimous YER
dict of members this morning. But
the doctors masterstroke, SO far as
keeping the boards troubles from be-
ing aired in public, was to pat the
members on the back, figurat1vely
speaking, and tell them how proud OF
them all he was because they had not
discussed the Bruce matter for the
press. :,

DIR. Davidson told the teachers. accord

this morning, that no one has at
tempted to carry this fight to the news

Won will continue to preserve the same

our battles among ourselves"
DR.. Davidson then is said to have
made a strong plea for the retention Of
Mr.. Bruce long enough for MIN 10
Judge his ability and to have won his
point even against the previous protests
Of the colored members.
How long the dove Of peace will stay

While the total length Of sewers in
the District has doubled In the last
twenty years. there has been no APP
preciable increase In the appropriation

SALEM ICE WORKS

This is one Of the most up-to-date
and progressive enterprises in the
Capital City, and its products are sent
over a large territory of the Villa
mete valley. The ice is made by the
most modern machinery from dis
titled water and is a perfectly
sanitary article. This ice is shipped
in carload lots or blocks to any part
of the country and large quantity
is used for railroad refrigerators.
The management is in the hands of
John Stellman, who for many years
has resided in Salem and Is very
conversant with the wants Of the
public. Mr.. Stillman is a public
spirited business man who extends a
helping hand to many other enter
prises and also in the upbuilding Of
the city. A large local patronage is
extended to the Salem Ice Works by
the people of Salem, delivery being
maintained to all parts Of the city
and the product of this establish
ment is sold at low prices. The
Salem Ice Works have done much in
maintaining the reputation of the
Capital City as an up-to-date munich
pality where all of the conveniences
of the city life may be enjoyed by all
citizens alike.

CAPITAL NATIONAL BANK OF
SALEM.

The condition of general affairs in
city or community are clearly re-
flected by the growth and prosperity
of financial institutions and well post
ed investors first make an investiga-
tion of the banks and if they show
a constantly increasing business and
heavy deposits it is readily under
stood that the busiess men are pro-
gressive and general conditions good.
Salem banks have long been known
for their stability and strength and
it is questionable If finantial institu-
tions in cities of equal sizes-or
even larger-anywhere in the coun-
try have shown a relative greater in
crease in deposits and resources. The
Capital National Bank is the oldest
national bank in Marion county and
for more than forty years the peo-
pie of this part of the country have
been intimately acquainted with it's
highly .honored president, ]. H. AL
bert, he being one of the oldest
bankers in the west in point of years
actually engaged in financial affairs.
He has now reached the three score
year and ten period of life but is still
active and energetic and takes as ac-
tive an interest in public affairs as
at any time during his entire career
However, he has somewhat shifted
the active management of the Nation
al Bank to younger shoulders, Cash
ier Jos. H. Alberts sharing the respon-
sibility. E. M. Croisen Is vice presi-
dent and is also a gentleman of high
standing and in whom the people
hold in the utmost confidence, The
Capital National Bank furnishes it's
customers with all the facilities en-
joyed by those patronizing the larg-
est banks in the country, there being
no features of general banking
business which have been overlooked
A savings department is conducted
and has large number of depositors.
The bank has capital stock Of
100000, a surplus and profit of
$4,000 and total assets of over a
million. Deposits have reached the
very satisfactory sum of 1874, ,404.20
the increase shown being in keeping
with the growth of Salem and devel-
opment Of the territory surrounding.
The bank is housed in its own stone
building, solid and unique in style,
near the corner of State and Com
mercial streets. The interior ar
rangements and finish is equal to
similar institutions in much larger
cities. Officers Of the bank are men
who keep fully alive to requirements
of the community, extend every ac-
commodation and courtesy consist
ant with safe banking and are right
fully counted among those genuine
1y interested in the upbuilding and
future welfare of western Oregon.
The Capital National Bank has long
exerted highly beneficial influence
upon this part of that state and in
the future will continue to lend its
best endeavors in furthering any
move which may be of benefit to Sa-
lem and her citizens as whole.

church was remodeled and enlarged
at an expense of $500. 1t was at
this time that the church decided to
adopt the name of Leslie" in honor
of the pioneer missionery upon whose
donation land claim the church
stands.
In 1902-5 w. S. Gordon was pas
tor, followed by Edward Gittins in
1905-7 and by E. H. Balknap in
1907, and by D. Lester Fields In
1908-11.
The New Auditorium now in pro-
gress of construction is So TT. by 81
TT. with a gallery and has a seating
capicity of 500. The basement is
for sinks and toilet, thereby making
it easy to prepare 1t for any of the
function of an institutional church.
The cement is now in the crib and
the carpenters expect to begin the
construction early in the month Of
January, 1911, The work will not
be pushed rapidly to completion, but
will take as much time as necessary
for the financial committee to do its
work.
Services are conducted every Sun
day in the old church at II a. m. and
1880 p. m. Sunday school at 10 a.
m, Epworth League at $50 p. M,
prayer meeting every Thursday even
ing at 700 p. m. A cordial welcome
is extended to all,
Rev. D. Lester Fields is the pastor.
The church is located on the south
east corner of South Commercial and
Meyers and the parsonage is just east
of the new church building.

ceeds that of any other transporta-
ton company entering Salem. The
social life of the Capital City is also
directly affected by the operation of
this road. 1t makes easily available
the mountain resorts near Falls City
and as the schedules are arranged so
that people may spend the day in
the mountains, returning late the
same day, and at nominal expense,
the summer months witness verit-
able exodus of those who appreciate
the new order of things and take ad-
vantage of the opportunity presented
of an enjoyable outing where nature
has been lavish in her preparation
for their coming and where the
greatest enjoyment may be had. The
hunter and fisherman also finds the
service of the road most beneficial
bringing him into close touch with
excellent sport without remaining
away from business more than a day.
With trackage arrangements with
the Salem. Falls City & Western road
the independence, Dallas & Airlie
road now enters West Salem and
eventually perfect grid-iron of
roads, all connected, will bring
Salem into closer commercial COM
munication with practically all of the
Willamette valley and further add
to her supremacy. The Salem, Falls
City & Western is one of the first of
these feeders to be completed and
has fully demonstrated what the
building of other lines will really
mean. Fruit raising and agricul-
tural pursuit of all kinds will be
stimulated and the newcomer will
find his opportunity greatly en-
financed.

LESLIE METHODIST CHURCH

In the spring of 1884, Jason Lee
started from Independence, Missouri
as a misslonery to the Flat Head
Indians. On October 9Th he and his
company landed on Willamette prair-
lie near the president capital building
of Oregon.
In the same year David Leslie was
sent as a missionary to the Sand
wich Islands but was transferred to
the Oregon mission in 1887. He
arrived in Oregon and took up his
work as ministed in September.
While Mr.. Lee was absent in the
East, David Leslie was acting super
intendent of the Oregon missions.
After the death of Mr.. Leslie's
first wife he took up his donation
land claim which offered him an op-
portunity to raise and educate his
three motherless children This
clam is bounded: on the north by
Mission street, on the west by South
Commercial street, on the South by
McGilchrist avenue and on the east
by the Southern Pacific Railroad.
In 1857 Rev. John Rork, at the
home of Mr.. Whitten, started a Sun
day school and a little later organi-
zed a class and built the original
church, which was later enlarged.
The Sunday school has had con-
tinuous existance but the church was
without services from 1880-91.
In 1891, Rev. John H. Roork was
again appointed to this appointment
of four preaching places. In 1898
Rev. ]. M. Shulse was appointed.
During his pastorate he burned a
mortage of 5000 and built a parson-
age. The funds were solicited from
Salem and elsewhere. Even Queen
Victoria contributed one pound to
the erection of the parsonage. He
was followed by "A. Kershaw in
1895 and by T. F, Royal in 1S97-99,
and R. c. Blackwell in 1S99-1902.
During Mr.. Blackwell's passionate the

a period of building activity is ex-
pected as soon as favorable weather
opens for building operations.
The extension of the Oregon Elec-
trio Line south to Albany and even
Eugene, is one of the things looked
for in the railroad world during the
new year.
It will be no great surprise if the
Welch lines now running to the Fair
Grounds are continued east to Silver
ton, nor If an electric line is started
to Stayton in 1911.
Another possibility for Salem this
year is that the motor line in West
Salem may enter Salem over bridge
and come in direct touch with the
town proper.
There has been some talk of bring
ing the old railroad bridge at Port
land to Salem and spanning the river
at this point.
There is no question but that
something is brewing in railroad CEN
ters, as j. j. Hill has been looking
into Salem quite frequently of late,
and Mr.. Hill never was much Of a
hand to go visiting for the pleasure
of the thing, especially when he has
his hands as full as they are now.
Salem has just elected young and
energetic mayor, who is not afraid to
do things, and 1t is quite likely he
will do his part in making 1911 a
record year for development.
The Board of Trade will continue
it's activities in bringing people here
and with the eyes of the East CEN
tered on the great Northwest there
is no reason why this, the heart OF
the great Willamette valley, should
not have a most prosperous and pro.
gressive year.

of sanitary protection enjoyed by re-
maTkably few cities in America.
The citys purpose in public i'm
provement work has been to secure
permanence. Many wooden bridges
and culverts have torn out and re-
placed with reinforced concrete
structures, in fact the city has prac-
tically adopted the policy of abolish
ing wooden bridges.
Building permits, issued from the
first of January to the 2Sth of Octo-
Der, of this year, have aggregated
$518,140.
Freight shipments in car lots, ori-
ginating at Salem, during the current
year, and made up entirely of local
products, such as prunes, hops, fruit,
etc, have aggregated 932 cars.
The assessed valuation of property
in the city in 1906 was $2,64O,61S,
in the year 1910 the total exceeds
$40, 100000.
Our population according to the
state sensus of 1905 was 10,05O, anc
although the federal census for 1916
has not been returned, very conser
vative estimate places the population
at $4,000,
Salem's postal receipts for the
year 1906 amounted to $27,151.97
and for the year ending October l
1910 55,23S.39.
With these figures, no argument Il
necessary to establish the fact of Sa
lem's great growth and prosperity
Situated as Salem is, in the heart oi
the most fertile of the western valleys
we have reason to look for a contin
uation of this unparalleled develop
ment.
