ASKS ABOUT

U. G. SHIPLEY JUST BACK FROM
THE EAST TELLS OF THE IN
QUIRIES MADE BY THOSE EV-
IDENTITY WITH A LONGING
FOR OLD WEBFOOT.

U. G. Shipley, after a fve-weeks
trip through the East, arrived home
few days ago, a more enthusiastic
admirer of and believer in Salem than
ever before. He feels that way for
the single reason that he observed
and compared conditions in the
points visited with those in Oregon,
and, as he expresses it, the COM
parison was largely contrast. Be
Besides, wherever he went he saw
Oregon products, Oregon fruit,
prunes, cherries, everything in sea-
son was on display IN Eastern cities,
and advertised as Oregon" fruit,
that name being apparently enough
to satisfy the most fastidious. Mr..
Shipley states that in New York
City the meat markets are display
ing more oregon fruit than they are
meats, and selling more, too.
Wherever he went, as soon as any
one found he was from Oregon, he
at once put Mr. Shipley on the stand
and began to question and cross
question him. Everyone wanted to
know about Oregon, and all about
it, and from this Mr.. Shipley thinks
there will be great rush to Oregon
and the Northwest, and that it will
be on soon. All of which causes him
to be still more firm in his opinion
that Oegon is the best state in the
Union, and Salem-well, Salem is its
capital.

of President Josselyn that the COM
pany did not intend to stop, but is
going ahead building to meet the fu-
ture developments. Six new cars
are in Portland, now being prepared
to ship here within few days. An
excellent equipment will be put on to
handle the State Fair business. He
said that in taking up the cluster
light proposition, it was not money
making proposition for the company
in the street lights themselves, but
it would be money maker for them
in the future, as the minute these
lights were introduced on the streets
it would show the people the value
of light and that more lights would
be used by private parties and in
this indirect way they would reap
their profit.
At the present time Salem is US
ing about half the light used in the
cities of this size and the best way
of building up their lighting busi-
ness was by showing the people what
cluster lights would do in the way
of getting business for the mer-
chants.
Mr. Deckabach then made short
talk complimenting the railway COM
pany on what they had been doing,
saying that people little realized the
proposition they were up against in
a city the size Of Salem.
Mr.. Buchanan, the publicity man
for the P. R. L. & P. Co. said that
the light proposition was merely a
matter of publicity. That the cleo
trio signs in New York had made it's
"Great White Way" known the world
over and that what light could do in
a big city it could do in a small city
like Salem. He said that lights we're
business getters for side streets as
we'll as the main streets and that
they improved the value Of all prop
erty.

for the company, explained the plans

But to Build up the Cities Where it Operates and Make

day by Rollin X. Page, manager of

Mr. Hid, general manager of the
company, spoke first. He said it was
usually customary for a newcomer
like himself to compliment the town
IN which he was speaking, etc., but
that under the circumstances he
thought this unnecessary, that he
would simply say that Salem was the
biggest little city" in the state of
oregon today. He said the hackers
Oh the P. R. L. & P. Co. were public
spirited men and had done much
more to boost Oregon and the North
west than the public generally gave
tnem credit for. In the five years
mat they have owned the railway
company, it has taken in $19,O0O,00O
and in those five years they have ex-
pended $44,OOO,OOO. During these
nve years 100000 were taken in at
