ING HERE-WORK IN LINE OF
PROMISES MADE BY GENERAL
SUPERINTENDENT CAMPBELL.

AS was promised by General Super
intendent Campbell, of the Southern
Pacific lines, the work of building
branch lines from Salem will be taken
up this year, with the ultimate view of
connecting the West Side system that
is being electrified, with the Capital
City. This movement Umeans great
deal for Salem. During the past week
a number Of business houses were
sought to be established at Salem, one
OF them a jobbing house. But none
could find business places to rent.
There Is an absolute famine of busi-
ness houses, and as far as dwellings,
there are none to be had. This, In
contrast with many larger cities on the
Pacific coast, where there are hun
dreds OF empty houses. The capital
lists Of this city could now show their
faith in this city by erecting few
good brick business blocks and few
dozen houses to rent, and few mod
ern flats that would pay for them
selves In few years. Superintend-
ent Campbell has all the plans com
pleted for beautifying around the pas
senger station and erecting a new $780,
600 passenger station at Salem. II is
understood a survey has been com
pleted to Silverton.
