Growth, But SaemS Sudden Leap to the Front DStanCng
All Others is Phenomenal

Fourteen thousand and thirty-six
dollars is the increase of the busi-
ness in the Salem postoffice during
the last year according to the gross
receipt table received today by Post
master Farrar, from the United
States postal department. of Wash
ington, D. c., and from per cent
age point of view, but the increase
has been over twice that of any 9TH
er of the Is postoffices in the Spok-
ane division which the report covers.
From a percentage point of view
Portland and Boise city rank next to
Salem, and the increase in the busi-
ness of each has been III per cent.
The increase in the next largest Of
fee is 10 per cent while that of Sa-
lem is 2S per cent and it is a mighty
good index to the growth of the city
from business standpoint
Of course Portland's growth has
been phenomenal and the increase of
her postal receipts indicate it better
perhaps than any other one thing
could. In this connection, too, it
should be remembered that the larg-
er the population, the smaller will
be the gain, reckoned by percentage
and II per cent gain on a 100000 or
larger population is astonishing, and
no doubt satisfactory to Portland
people, At the same time this same
rule should be applied to Salem the
second city in the state. Naturally
her growth would by percentages,
show less than, smaller towns, unless
she was maintaining a proportional

$4,000, the amount asked for, was
the verdict of the jury for the plain

HAS BUILT
UP A FINE
BUSINESS

A young man who came to this
city the same year that Tracy and
Merrill made their famous and sensa-
tional escape from the state prison,
and attended Willamette University
for four years, and then bought out
a little pressing and cleaning busi-
ness, Is now the proprietor Of the
finest merchant tailoring business in
this city. He saw there was an op-
portunity and a real need for first
class mems haberdashery in the Cap
ital City. He was impressed with the
idea Of making mems fine clothes
right here at home. So he went to
Chicago and took a scientific course
in cutting and fitting before opening
a tailoring department. He now has
a stock of 200 patterns on hand, and
will have 800 by fall to select from In
the construction of business and
dress suits. He has brought to this
city the best coat and trouser max
ers from the Eastern centers Of fash
ion, and carries all the samples of
the best woolen houses on the coast.
This young man, D. II. Mosher, whose
tailoring rooms are at 45O Court
street, is not only considerable en-
ployer of labor, and keeps up a pay
roll Of 200 to $500 a week, but has
acquired a home of his own in this
city and a fine ranch in the country.
Starting with almost nothing, he has
built up a business that includes the
patronage of the public officials, pro-
fessional and business men, and Is
rapidly extending to all parts of the
Willamette valley
1t is pleasure to chronicle the
success and prosperity of deserving
young man, who realizes an opoprtu-
nifty, and then demonstrates his fit
ness to develop the business.

PLAN IN CAPITAL
English General May Con.

national Movement.

Gen. Sir Robert Baden-Powell, organ
izer of the Boy Scout movement in
England, will visit America in Febru-
airy, and while in this country is ex-
pected to spend some time In Washing
ton. He will probably confer here with
&c. 8. Martin, executive secretary of the
Boy Scouts Of America, relative to the
formation of an international associ-
alton of Boy Scouts.
The Boy Scout movement has spread
through twenty-five countries. General
Baden Powell's suggestion is that the
association in each country could APP
point an English representative. These
representatives would keep in close
touch with the organization in the va
rious countries represented, and by con-
ferences in England would be able to
apprise every association OF the latest
developments in Boy Scout enterprise.
The suggestion for an international
union was first made while James T..
