THE LESSON OF TACOMA.

About twenty years ago the people bought the water
plant of private corporation for Sl,15OOOO
That was when Tacoma had 10000 population about S44
per capita.
Salem with $4,000 population is offered the water plant for
$375,000, about $25 per capita
The Tacoma newspapers hOwed graft and charged that the
city had bought lot of junk.
But the water plant proved amoneymaker for the city, in
spite Of the fact that the city had spend 100000 extending
fhe mains.
The Salem water plant would prove moneymaer at almost
any fair price
Good business know that inside of five years the Salem
water plant will be worth million dollars.
Tacoma spending $2,OOOOOO building to the Green
river for a supply of pure mountain water.
Good business will the advantage of public ownership
at any fair price
OF good business men will not stand for duplication
in the Inventories any fictitious element of charges.
If that be eliminated there should be delay in acqur
ing ownership by the city.
On the other hand the water corporation does not have to sell
to the CITY,
The plant owned by corporation able to keep the property
If fair price has been fixed upon by the engineers then the
whole deal should be declared off, and the water company called
upon to go ahead and extend it's plai.
Salem should be taken out Of dubious and equivoc position
The lesson of Tacoma ought to be hopeful one any
munity to contemplate.

The oil field has been Investigated

sink a well for the purpose Of fur

surface. The Polk County Oil, Gas
and Land Co. expect to begin drilling

Mr. Simon Haines, an experienced oil
man in charge are sure to carry out
their plans without experiencing any
delays. Mr.. Haiues was in the en-
ploy of the Standard Oil company for
more than II years and to show his
faith in the project, subscribed for a
good portion of stock. The oil al
ready obtained is of the highest
grade, being high specific gravity
oil of 40 per cent, that being about
the best test that any well has ever
gone. The company has opened a
branch office in Salem with The Ma
tional Brokers at No. 1876 S. CONNER
cial street, where samples of the oil
will be placed on exhibition, and in
formation furnished free to all who
call. The stock at present is selling
for 10 cents per share, there being
only a limited amount to sell at that
price, but the company announces at
this time that just as soon as oil IS
struck in the we'll which is being
sunk on the Whitaker place that tEe
price of the stock will be advanced.

Men changed around to other jobs but
the work was ordinary. A man could
run three grinders eight hours better
than two for 12. A commission could
deal with this better than a genera

could also be put on an eight-houl
shift. Going and coming to his worE
