SALEM GETS
SOME UNIQUE
DISTINCTION

Sometime since the Journal pub
lished a brief local, which was
copied with a small lead by an ex-
change. The item was newsy and in
convenient form for the exchange
editor as the exchange fixed it, and
the result was astonishing. A clip
ping bureau, the other day sent us
the little item which reads:
Salem lays claim to unique
distinction among all the capital
cities of the United States. 1t has
made a greater net gain in popula-
tion than any other state capital.
Salem shows additions to her
population amounting to 2S1.9 per
cent during the 10-year period, as
given in the figures of the census.
No other state capital comes any
where near this record"
1t had appeared in the Glendale
News, Myrtle Creek Mail, Hood Riv-
er News, Heppner Times and more
than 40 other papers in the state
which causes us to state in the head
not only that "Salem lays claim to
unique distinction" but has it.

time ago to investigate the feasiblli-

lights and the cost to maintain
them with electricity, it is estimated,
will be $4 a month. All five of the
lamps, at that price, can burn from
dusk until midnight, and one of
