RECALL
OF the Days of Forty-Nine
the Coming Big Fair
Does.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. l19-
Who has not had his heart beat faster
at the though of those romantic
days when stout-hearted men braved
thousand unknown dangers to
reach the gold-diggings and make
their fortunes gathering up the
yellow metal with pan and rocker?
Who, on visiting California, would
not like to see how. the brave pi-
oneers dug hundreds of millions OF
gold from the creek beds OF that
state?
At the Panama-CaIifornla Inter
national Exposition, in San Diego,
the visitor will be allowed to see
how those famous camps, Red Dog,
Hangtown. Poverty Flat, Fiddle
town, Yuba Dam and others of pic
turesque nomenclature, really looked.
Sam Davis, of Nevada, famous
politician and club man,
has been comforting with Director
General D. c. Collier regarding a
concession for his mining gulch.
He expects to spend the next three
years hunting for 40 relics, and
he will have a notable museum in
addition to stage coaches. faro
banks. dance halls and other mining
day features. Perhaps there will be
a vigilance committee, a Shooting
up and horsethief hanging Any
visitor desiring to do so, Will be az
lowed to pan out some gold for him
self.

Growing Westward
FINE RESIDENCE ADDITION TO
SALEM SPRINGING UP ON WEST
SIDE OF WILLAMETTE.

Salem has grown eastward to the
state lands, and can now expand
north and south and westward. And
1t is westward, no, the Capital City's
star Of empire takes its way. Three
additions and lot of acreage Is laid
out on that side of the river, and
substantial improvements are plan
ned and being carried into effect.
There is beautiful range Of hills
coming down close to the river, and
an open fiat space spreading toward
the north. At the south the hills
come down almost to the river With
the construction of the Dallas and
Falls City railroad, there entered q
new life into this overflow of the
Capital City onto the west bank, and
today there are factories going in,
an electric light and power plant is
being constructed, lumber yard
has been established, and there is
talk of another bridge across the
river from the foot of Ferry street
West Salem has a population of
about 500 people, and plans are
completed for $4,000 high school
building.
Contracts have been let for the
construction of a new waiting room
at Kingwood station. This addition
has property restriction that no
dwelling to cost less than $500 go
up on lots sold there, and as soon
as there are enough people, water
service will be put in. Kingwood
has plans made for a riverside drive,
and a park, and altogether modern

Large Farms Surrounding

Thousands Of Small Tracts Surrounding Salem on All Sides
will Make II the Trading Center of the Willamette Valley

The year just closed will so down
into history as most important one
in the life of Salem and Marion
county, for during the past twelve
months a great deal has been accom-
plished that will leave its mark on
the onward march of progress and
in the upbuilcing of this section of
the Willamette valley. Among the
most important events may be men
toned the following:
In Salem permanent and substan-
tial additions have been made to the
already large amount of street work
completed, and outside the city a
vast amount Of money has been spolt
on the highways leading in every di-
rection through the county, and, bet
ter still, assurance has been given
that the good work will go on in the
laudable undertaking in both the
city and county at large.
The year 1910 witnessed more
building in Salem than during any
former year in the city's history, and
the different lumber yards were taxed
to their utmost capacity during the
entire time.
Not less than 3,435 acres were sub
divided into small tracts and lots,
and a great majority of these places
have been sold and in many cases
built upon and otherwise improved.
A hotel, the like of which would
be- credit to any city on the coast,
has been opened In Salem, wiping
out a blot which has existed for
years, as Salem was known proven
bially as place poorly supplied with
hotels.
The people of Salem voted to pur.
chase the plant supplying the city
with water, and the details OF this
most important step are about com
pleted.
A sewer system covering practi
cally the entire city has been adapted
and work is now under way on the

important matters, have developed

REMARKABLE GROWTH OF
SALEM IN THE YEAR 1910.

The city of Salem, during the cur
rent year. has enjoyed unprecedented
prosperity and as well, has estab-
lished new records in most every de-
partment of commercial activity. In
addition, the amount of public work
undertaken during this year is with
out paralley in the annals of the city.
In the item Of hard-surfaced pave
ment alone the city has undertaken
thus far, during the year 1910, work
to the amount of $275,000, most of
which has already been installed.
The hard-surfaced street improve
ment already initiated for the year
1911 contemplates approximately six
mile Of work. The streets to be i'm
proved are all on the broad Salem
type When this work is completed
the larger part of the original plat Of
the city of Salem will have been hard
faced. Included in this scheme is
a grand boulevard joining the two
principal state institutions located
within the limits, and affording con-
tinuous drive from the business dis
triet and circling practically the
whole of the original plat of Salem,
and including in addition a large
scope Of the newer eastern district of
the city. This boulevard drive will
measure in length approximately six
miles.
Contracts for additional sewerage,
to the extent of approximately $780,
600. have recently been signed, and
this, in addition to the sewers already
installed, places Salem in the unique
position of affording sewerage facil-
tiles to every block of plated land
within its corporate limits, a measure

Salem has been blessed more recent

particular which has given her added
prestige as a railroad center and that
