In enumerating the varied and nu-
merous Industries and commercial In
terests Of Salem, there are certain
institutions which by reason OF their
superiority over other houses Of sim
liar nature seem to call for more than
passing mention. One Of these Is the
harness store OF Mr.. r. 70, Shafer.
which is located at 1877 South Com
meroial street Mr.. shafer has been
engaged In the manufacture and sale
OF harness In the city since 1891, and
he has during the entire time inter-
venlng maintained the highest repu-
tation for making only the best grade
OF harness, in which the best OF oak
tanned leather is used and upon which
the workmanship of the finest quality.
He has Installed one OF the latest
model wax-thread sewing machines,
which was made necessary BY the
rapid increase In the demand for his
excellent harness.
All goods are sold under a positive
guarantee. His trade is extending
each year and is now drawn from q
large territory tributary to Salem He
Is everywhere known as q strong Sa-
lem booster.

lished by the general government at
the Fruit Union, and continuous ex-
perlments were made by specialists
throughout the season. Besides this
many carloads OF perishable fruit
were preceded for shipment, and the
profits of the industry were relatively
increased.
A sub-station OF the Oregon Agricul-
tural college has also been secured
for Salem, and now these state spe-
cialists can be constantly consulted
by fruit growers at their headquarters
in the office of the county fruit in
spector established in the Fruit Union
bsildings.
Fruit exhibits have been sent to
verious fairs and shows, and Salem
is rapidly becoming known as dis
trict which is able to compete sue
cessfully for prizes on all kinds Of
fruit.
The Salem Board Of Trade has also
sent delegates TO meetings for the or
ganization OF fruit-selling agencies,
al! of which are adding to the profits
and advancement OF this one great
industry Of our surrounding country.
ThSsgh the efforts OF the Salem
Board of Trade the Grand Army post
of our city was able to secure con-
ventlon Of that body for next year,
Other similar enterprises have been
fostered and worked for diligently by
the various officers and committees
Of the organization. The Board OF
Trade rooms have been used for pub
/ lie meetings of various kinds, includ-
ing local organizations and visiting
guests, over fifty times during the past
year, or on an average Of once week

the fair, and the cyelorama of Salem
with the hop and prune industries won
great credit for our city. The latter
was exhibited at the. Omaha Land
Show in conjunction with the william
ette Valley exhibit of products, and
was recognized by all in attendance
as one of the great features of the
show 1t was solicited for the Chi
cago Land Show, and will probably
be taken to the Kansas City show in
February. RfN
During the year the Board of Trade
has acted as host and assisted In the
entertainment of visitors within our
gates upon various occasions Prob
ably the greatest effort Of this kind
was the cooperation with the church
people of the city in entertaining the
guests and delegates to the Methodist
Conference. Upon this occasion nearly
one thousand plates were laid at the
University auditorium, and the large
mass Of people was served by the
friends of all denominations. This was
recognized by the Eastern press and
magazines as one of the greatest
church banquets in the history of the
country, and the various Salem
churches everywhere received credit
for their liberal views in assisting
one great denomination. The benefits
Of this event have redounded greatly
to the credit Of Salem and VILLAIN
ette university among the people Of
the state.
The greatest social effort of the
year was the legislative banquet ten
dered the members of the Oregon leg
islature early in the. session at the
Hotel Marion. 1t was attended by the
members, state officials and a consid-
cradle delegation from the third house
and it is conceded TO have been very
effective in allaying prejudice and
making friends for Salem and Salem
people.
In the matter of. entertaining, II
might be noted that the. Board Of
Trade entertained the State Conven-
tion of Undertakers, assisted in the
entertainment of letter carriers, ant
last week the State Threshermen''
association was provided with all tn,

a fine banquet was served

The Progressive Business Mems
league of Portland was likewise cared
for while within our city's gates, and
upon many other occasions during the
past year has the Salem Board Of
Trade directly and indirectly assisted
in making the visits of conventions,
committees and visitors generally a
pleasure and a thing to be remem-
bered to the credit of Oregon's cap
ital city. Not least among these
events was the entertainment of Pres
ident Taft and his party while on their
tour last fall.
Many efforts have been made to
secure better service on the various
railroads leading to our city, as we'll
as with the local street car lines,
stage lines and other avenues Of traf-
flc in our midst. In this way much
has been done for the convenience OF
Salem people.
Representatives have been sent to
Portland during the colonist seasons
while the low rates were on to work
in our city's interest among the new
comers.
Several excursions have also been
fostered in the interest Of our people
and to the great advantage Of our
commercial interests.
Considerable work has been done in
the matter of organizing the real

cludes the publication Of joint real

the circulation of same by the Board
Of Trade. A branch office has been
opened in Portland, and much good
work is being done there to attract
the attention OF local people as vel
as strangers soiourning in the me
tropolis.
1t is almost needless to refer to the
annual affairs promoted by the Boart
of Trade, such as the Cherry Fair an(
similar undertakings. The Cherry Fail
proved great success the past seasor
in the hands of the local committee
and is becoming an important factol
in the promotion Of the fruit industry

our efforts the establishment OF pre-

In reviewing the statements of the
business of 1910 and 1911 it is found
that the Board of Trades receipts for
the past year have been in round num-
bers $1,000 greater than the year be-
fore, and our csh balance has been
increased from s7174S to $145262,
leaving our cash balance more than
double what it was one year ago. Not
only are the finances of the board in
better shape, but the inventory of
property has been increased from
S996.35 to $4,000. These figures read
lily show that the work has not only
been more heartily supported than in
the former years, but that the execu-
tive committee by frugal management
has made possible the finest showing
that the Salem Board of Trade has
ever been able to make
In addition to this improved condi-
ton in the affairs of the board, 1t will
be of interest to ,alb and it must be
apparent to all, that Salem has expe-
rienced the greatest yeer's growth and

The Board of Trade has cooperated
with Oregon's representatives at
Washington and with the National
Rivers and Harbors organization until
an appropriation of $4,000 was Sc
cured for the reVetment of the west
bank of the Willamette at Salem.
The Board of Trade has also been
a hard working factor for the secur-
ing of free locks at Oregon City. This
great aid to public transportation Is
now practically assured.
Another project undertaken early
in the past year was that of securing
cluster lighting system for Salem
and dispensing with the old electric
streamers. Committees worked ac-
lively on the project throughout the
year until now we have many streets
lined with these very attractive lights
and Salem is gaining credit for being
an attractive place, not only by day
but by night as we'll
The matter Of fine armory for the

improvement in the entire history Of
the city. The building record exceeds
all past history. Business improve
ments have likewise outstripped' all
former years, and the general ad-
Vancement of Salem's prosperity is
very gratifying. A short review of
the work Of the board during the past
year may not come amiss, and an
effort will be made to present the
facts in as brief space as possible
The first large number Of last
years program was the securing of
the appropriations from the state for
the purchase of a block of ground
east of the capitol and the building
of a new state library and supreme
court room. This achievement was
without doubt the direct result of the
work Of the Salem Board of Trade
through its officers and committees.
The. land has been purchased and
cleared Of old buildings, and the
plans are about ready for the new
structure. To bring about this splen-
did result a comprehensive program
was formulated by the executive COM
mittee and consistent work for it was
performed by all.
Another project undertaken early
last year was the building of a boule-
ward connecting Salem with all of the
state institutions. The matter Jagged
throughout the greater part of the
year, and it finally developed upor
the Board of Trade to raise the money
for cooperation with Governor West
in this project, Many men and teams
with rock erusher' and other machin
cry are now busily engaged In thu
work, and the coming year will SEE
this great undertaking completed.

during the two former years
First, a system of large reinforcing mains had to be
installed to keep ahead of the hard surface paving that

This had to be done so that the Water Company

Daniel c. Beard, national scout
commissioner of the Boy Scouts of
America. is teaching the boys the
secret signs Of the yegg fraternity, so
that the boys may know them and
tell what the mysterious marks on
fences, houses and other buildings
mean. There are signs indicating
whether there is a dog in the house.
whether the housewife is kind, and
whether it is easy TO rob the house.
If the signs are dangerous the boys
can rub them off and warn the po-
lice. All this means that the secrecy

CELEBRATION OF THE
JEWISH PASSOVER
The Oldest Jewish Festival On the
Calendar.

On the 18th Of April this year
falls the 3222nd Passover of the jew
ish people. A feast very solemnly OBJ
served for seven days by all Jews of
the world. According 10 Old Tesla
ment instructions no leaven should be
Used throughout the seven days.
There are, therefore. specially pre-
pared unleavened cakes Of bread,
generally known as Matzas) used for
this occasion.
The evening preceding the festival
is always, according to Jewish usage,
the beginning Of the holiday. Accord
ingly, this year on the evening Of
April 18th corresponding with the bib
lical 14th of Nissan, Ounar Year, ev-
cry Jewish household has a family
feast of great symbolical and histor-
zeal significance. In addition TO the
symbols demonstrated on the table,
certain special prayers and chants
are used for the occasion; but the
most touching part is the recitation
of the event of the Exodus. 1t is
appropriate for the master Of the
house. to preside over the table and
