OF the premises Of Ben Taylor he had
received but few loads, and that il
was understood that the remainder

nebaker last evening at the meeting

The Necessity OF Fruit Inspection.

The Necessity OF Fruit Inspection.
Salem, Or, Aug. 25.-To the Ed
itor Capital Journal,--For years the
Oregon State Board OF Immigration,
the boards of trade of some OF the
cities OF the state. and numerous
private individuals have done good
and conscientious work TO settle up
the bare spots of our beautiful state.
The pamphlet issued by the Salem
Board OF Trade, Salem, the CAPITAL
City" is a thing Of Joy and beauty.
and its real great value is the fact
that II contains the truth, which any
one can verify. The writer has seen
a few spots OF mother earth, been an
extensive fruit grower for over
twenty years, member OF the North
west Frultgrowers union for about
the same time, and while only a
resident OF Salem during the last
past two years, can say that the
Willamette valley and especially this
vicinity can, does and will produce
as good fruits, conditions being
equal, as any other part of Ore
gon, not excluding Hood River nor
Rogue River valleys. Our climatic
and soil conditions are even better
or preferable in many instances.
But here Is the fly In the oint-
ment---a year ago one OF the chief
orchard men and promoters OF Med
ford made me u visit; OF course he
dwelt on the advantages of famous
Jackson county, aud he put me ON
the defensive. He agreed to all tho
good points OF Marion county; but,
he says: II can and do sell land
planted In fruit trees from $500 to
$1,000 per acre, where you have a
hard time TO get from $3.50 10 $250.
And the only reason for that Is that
we have system and our system
makes the Investor safe. Any bust
ness or land is worth Just the oapl-
tallEatlon OF the net income. We
drove around this valley to enjoy our
famous scenery. We did find some
young, well-pruned, cultivated and
sprayed orchards that apparently
would produce an income to the
owner. We also found the worst
specimens OF old orchards, full OF
all sorts OF yermin, disease, with not
a care apparently for generation.

SUGGESTS The
PURCHASING OF
WATER POWER

Would it be wise policy for the city
to purchase the power plant of the
Salem Power company?
Councilman Waring is inclined to
think that 1t would be, and with the
view Of determining whether the plant
is for sale, its cost, and submitting
the question of its purchase to the
city council, he last night at the meet
ing Of that body made a motion that
a committee be appointed to confer
with the company on the subject.
Has 1000 Horse Power.
The plant belongs to the Ladd es-
tate, and is situated in North Salem.
The water is secured from the San
tam river and there is enough of it
to furnish 1000 horse power. The
water was appropriated years and
years ago for the operation of flour
mill but 1t has not been used for a
period of 20 years.
Can BE Bought.
Councilman Hatch stated that he un-
derstood that the plant was for sale,
and that he believed that it could be
purchased at a reasonable price There
was sufficient power, he stated so
that If the city does buy it that it
can be used either for lighting the
city or for water plant. Councilman
Waring declined to disclose his rea-
sons for desiring the city to purchase
the plant, but promises to make them
known when the committee submits
its report
Mayor Lachmund named Council
men Waring, Eldridge and Lafky as
a committee to take the subject OF
purchasing the plant up with the
