THE Thomas Kay Woolen Mills are

industries in the Willamette valley
Several generations of the Kay family
have devoted their lives to wooden
manufacture, Thomas Kay, Sr" VINO
built the Salem mills, also established
and conducted woolen mills at Browns
Vile and other places. The natural
combination of climate, water ana
production of raw material make the
Willamette valley a splendid locatioh
for this industry.
The Salem Woolen Mills, under the
MANAGEMENT Of Thomas b. Kay the
present State Treasurer OF oregon
have enjoyed almost constant grown
and prosperity.
The products of these mills have
large sale in New York, San Francisco
and other large distributing centers'
and it is a notable fact that out OF all
the material that is manufactured IN
this city not a yard of cloth is sold
here In this way, the Thomas Kay
Wooden Mills bring thousands upon
thousands of dollars into the city, EN-
plov Salem labor to the extent OF
nearly 100000 per year. and do not
take one cent from the consumers IN
this city, county or state.

After enumerating President Tafts reasons why he should be
continued in power. a 8 set forth in his Cleveland speech, the Out
look, commenting, first extends the hand courteous. then gets in
its uppercuts.
"The president did not state as strongly as he might have the
constructive acts OF his own record it says. land the omission

dent empowered to conclude reciprocty with Canada; campaign

Then-bnf!
why is 1t, then, that in the face of such a record there should
be widespread popular discomfort with the administration. not only
the ranks of the presidents own party?"
First, the president has allowed himself to become identified
In the public mind with those elements in his party which have been
frankly opposed to progress. 1t was not merely his defense of the
Payne-Aldrch tariff bill, that set the progressive element in his
own party to questioning his attitude; 1t was even more the evidence
that he seemed to find most cong email to him those leaders most
opposed to real tariff reform"

quate wages; lynchings: pure food; protection of children.
Third, the people feel, says the Outlook, that Taft is a in
terpreter rather than an administrator of laws. Sound legal opin-
ion on the Sherman act; no execu tive decision. The Ballinger-

domain of congress.

lfeet high, across the river there

not come in your day or mine, but

will see that chance and build a

Jones didn't know, and Hebb
was only beginning to realize that
Dame Iature had already laid out
a site up there-and without any
S0-foot dam.
Extending almost straight up
from the river at the foot of the
Jones place, the land rises in two
big steps, 250 feet to a step. The
step is 1000 fet wide.
Then from the top the land
runs straight back, as level as a
table, with one exception, for IL
miles on about q five-foot to the
mile slope. And there it strikes
the river again.

canyons and ravines, has hurled its
ltempestuous course through a
drop of &c feet. The land has run
back level till 1t Is within a

big leaps.
An ordinary ditch running by an
easy grade from the upper reach
of the river to the edge of the top

drop, gathering power enough to
