THE FALLS CITY LUMBER co.

An enterprise which has contrib
uted as much as any other to the
general progress of Salem and the
surrounding territory is that Of the
Falls City Lumber company for
through the operation of it's fine
large plant at Falls City it is in posi-
ton to furnish lumber direct to the
consumer at lowest prices and OF the
very highest quality. A large plant
for the manufacture of doors and
window frames and other mill work
is also operated and planning mill
run in connection with the Salem yard
makes is possible to furnish either
rough or dressed lumber, interior
finish, or other grades of lumber to
fill contracts for entire buildings of
any magnitude. This is a distinct
advantage to the contractor and
builder as better arrangements may
be made where the entire bill re-
quired is purchased of the same
party. Then the question of prompt
delivery is involved, those dealing
with the Falls City Lumber Company
being certain that no delay will be
n
very large stock of all kinds and
grades of lumber is carried in the
Salem yards and as six teams and
about thirty men are employed it
may readily be seen that painstaking
care is given to all orders and they
are promptly filled. Shipments are
also made to outside points in car
load lots and the business of the COM
pany in that line is showing a rapid
growth since 1t took over the Vogt
Lumber company about a year and
half ago. The saw mill operated
at Falls City has a daily capacity of
100000 feet and the company owns
large amount of standing timber
which insures its continuous opera
tion for many years to come. AS the
Question of an adequate lumber sup
ply at right prices has direct bear
ing upon the building operations of
any section of the country the efforts
of The Falls City Lumber company
mean much in the growth of Salem
and the further development of the
surrounding territory, to which
thousands of people from all parts of
the East are flocking with view to
making their homes. The manage
ment is enterprising and progressive,
modern business methods being
adapted in all transactions. Officers
of the company are: F. S. Belcher,
president; W. F. Stine, vice president;
w. T. Grier, treasurer and manager,
with julius Vogt in charge of the
Salem end of the business He is a
gentleman Of wide experience in the
lumber trade and widely known as
one of the genuinely substantial citi-
zens of the Capital City. In addition
to the manufacture and sale of lum-
Der of every description the company
also deals extensively in building
material and builders hardware and
contractors in Salem and the sur
rounding territory will find it most
advantageous to purchase whatever
they require of this enterprising es-
tablishment. Wood and coal are also
dealt in, both wholesale and retail,
and large business enjoyed.

@. NJ. EPPLEY'S FAMOUS BAKING
POWDER.

All sorts of manufacturing enter
prise are included in constituting
what might properly be termed in
dustrial Salem and as result all
sorts of commodities are sent out
bearing the Salem label, thereby
further making known the Capital
City to the outside world. 1t may
not be generally known that one of
these important industries is a bak-
ing powder factory, the product of
which finds ready sale all over the
West and which is also becoming
popular in a constantly increasing
territory. However, such is the case
and G. M. Eppley, the popular East
Salem merchant is responsible for
the establishing of the enterprise and
to his energy and ability is attribut-
able the material success already
achieved. Mr.. Eppley started the
manufacture of baking powder some
what as a side issue, as it were, to
his general merchandise business at
Nineteenth and State streets but it
has grown to very considerable pro-
portions and now requires a great
deal of time and attention and is
destined to prosperous future
Notwithstanding that Mr.. Epply gives
the baking powder factory bis per-
sonal attention he nevertheless finds
time to keep fully abreast of the
times in the conduct of his large
department store at that location, an
establishment which is liberally
patronized by residents of that sec
tion of the city and in which every
thing required by the family is car
ried and sold on close margin Of
profit High grade goods low prices
prompt delivery, courteous treatment
of all patrons alike and strictly mod
ern business methods have built up
the splendid establishment dis
tinct credit to the ability of Mr.
Eppley who is one of our most
progressive citizens and persistent
and consistent booster for the growth
of Salem and the further develop
ment of the many resources Of
oregon.

ELECTRIC FIXTURE & SUPPLY
COMPANY.

With modern and progressive
ideas with reference to electrical
work of every nature and thorough
understanding of electrical fixtures
and work, the management Of the
Electric Fixture & Supply Company
at 245 North Liberty street keeps
this establishment fully abreast of
the times and gives the people of
Salem and vicinity the most up-to-
date service in electical lines ever
furnished them. w. K Barnell Is in
charge of the enterprise, which is
unquestionably the most complete in
Western Oregon outside Portland.
Mr.. Barnell has enjoyed a wide ex-
perience in his chosen field of oper-
alton and gives all customers the
benefit of his knowledge There is
nothing whatever in the way of fix
lures and electrical supplies which
may not be had of this enterprising
house while wiring for all purposes
is also done, the skilled workmen
employed insuring entire satisfaction
on all occasions. Silver, copper and
brass plating is done by the COM
pany and in this way old fixtures
which have become tarnished are
made to look as good as new while
many other articles may also be
"made over" at low cost by having
them plated. But it is electric wir-
ing and supplying fixtures that the
company has experienced the great
est activity for the many new resi-
dences and other structures erected
in Salem more recently have been
equipped with modern electrical ap-
pliances and the Electric Fixtures &
Supply Company has done a very
large part Of the work. This is due
to the fact that their operations are
conducted on large scale and they
enjoy many advantages over the
smaller dealer They take contracts
for wiring and supplying fixtures
complete for residences and business
houses and the prices quoted are al
ways an inducement to award them
the contract. Their establishment
has been of benefit in furthering
building operations in Salem and will
prove equally beneficial in the future
when building operations will exceed
those Of any previous period.

CHERRY CITY PLUMBING &
HEATING co.

Phenomenal has been the growth
of Salem during the past three years
live business men have entered the
various fields of the building trades
and made possible the erection of the
numerous residences and business
structures which are making so
rapidly the newer and Greater Salem
for which all loyal citizens have long
been working. One of the more i'm
portant of these establishments is
that of the Cherry City Plumbing
and Heating company at ASS Court
street. AS indicated by the name
the firm is engaged in all lines of
plumbing and heating and have an
ample supply of everything required
to handle the largest contracts.
Messrs. Tibbals and Peterson are the
progressive proprietors and 1t is safe
to say that no men engaged In this
business keep more fully abreast of
the times or turn out better work
than they. They are expert heating
engineers, employ only skilled work
men and use only the best Of ma
terial Consequently they are never
afraid to give an unqualified guar
antee of all work of whatever nature,
They have done the plumbing and
heating in large number of the best
residences in Salem and the coming
year will see them buster than ever
before. Buying their material in
large quantities the firm is able to
work at lowest cost, estimates being
cheerfully furnished whenever de-
sired. However, many people simply
instruct the firm to go ahead with
the plumbing and heating of a build
ing, having entire confidence in their
honesty, skill and ability. Those
having work of this character should
figure with the Cherry City Plumb
ing & Heating Company.

BUCKAROOES TO PLAY
H0LDMAN TOMORROW

The crack of the bat and the thud
of the ball will be heard at Roundup
Park tomorrow afternoon and the
noises will not come from a practice
session either. The Buckarooes will
be pitted against the Holdman farm
ers in a struggle between the city and
the country. The sturdy ons of soil
from the Holdman country have read
with il~l-concealed contempt of the
efforts the Pendleton leaguers have
made to win a few games and now
boldly assert that they also can
trounce the locals even if their uni
forms are not as neat and their
equipment as elaborate.
Be it known that the players who
hail from the farm have sinews as
tough as hickory limbs and muscles
as hard as the proverbial adamant
and when they swing their bludgeons
at the hurting horsehide, the best
twirler who ever toed a slab might
we'll tremble to think of the fate of
the ball that makes connection with
those pats. However, both Bliss and
Milne are willing to take Il chance
and hope to bewilder the clod heav-
ers with their choice assortment Of
benders and slants.
The game will be called promptly at
2:3O and a small admission of fifteen
cents will be charged to spectators.

MANAGER BABE TO

Fans Clamor for Retainance of Infield
That Played Against Athena Sun
day-To Be Pitted Against PEN
dlctOn.

AS a result of Sundays game, when
1900 fans witnessed the game of their
lives and have since become Teddy"
Bears, or in ether words. boosters.
the national game is the topic OF the
hour, and from the enthusiasm shown
at the meeting of the baseball club
last night at the commercial club
rooms, there will be things dong in
the near future, says the Walla Wal
la Union. There is no one in the city
who, would knock baseball as played
Sunday against Athena and with this
fact in sight, the club is preparing
for a daring move.
since that memorable game many
of the fans have been clamoring for
the r~etainance of that peerless infield
with the exception of Parrot, the first
baseman, and ii was with this in view
that Manager Babe left last night for
Portland.
1t is admitted by all that another
game like Sundays would draw ca
pacity crowds and make baseball pay
for itself. which it is lot doing now.
and thus offer encouragement for
those backing il to secur better men.
A better team than represented the
Bears Sunday could not be wished for
and this is what Manager Babe, as
we'll as every member of the club de-
sires,
Manager Mcfarland OF Tum-a-lum
park, was at the meeting and offered
the use of his dancing pavilion and
orchestra for a dance for the benefit
Of the baseball club. The offer was
accepted and Messrs. Lester, Crews,
Jackson, Bower. Mcintosh, Penn
brook, Fletcher, Hall and Siegrist, to-
gether with President Ennis, were
appointed a committee to make ar
rangements for this dance.
A review of the baseball situation
was given by Manager Babe after
which a committee consisting of G,
NJ. Fletcher, Clyde Lester and Pete
Hall was appointed to solicit the sup
port of fans and business men to back

the team.
Arrangements were also made for
the Fourth of July games. A plan
ned, Athena, Milton, Pendleton and
Kennewick will be brought here for
games on this occasion. The Kenne-
wick manager will be approached in
the near future.
Manager Mcfarland also asked hat
future games be played at Tuna
Lum park, thus benefiting both at
fractions. but while the matter was
not definitely decided upon the ques-
ton being left to the manager of the
team, the sentiment of the meeting
was not to consider the proposition.
as the fan believe the park is too
far away for the class of ball hat is
now being played. The people would
not go to the park who go to the fair
grounds to a large degree. and there
fore the change would be a losing
proposition.
An excursion to Pendleton next Sun
day, when the Bears journey to the
oregon town to meet Pendleton for
the second time this season was de-
cided upon. At least a hundred fans
are required to take the trip in order
to secure this excursion but as many
have been interested in the Pendleton
games and have been waiting for the
excursion it is thought that five hun
dred or more will go so the club
did not hesitate to order the eXcur-
sion from the railroad, by placing a
check for the reuuired amount in the
hands of the railroad company. This
game promises to be me of the best
this year for the local team at Pen

close game.
