SALEM AND 1913.

-wHE new city administration starts
off under propltious circum-
stances. The past year has been
a prosperous one for all, and the city
has made great strides towards her
ultimate greatness. The past year has
witnessed great improvements, among
them, and chiefest Of them being the
magnificent sewer system. Miles of
streets have been paved, many fine
buildings taken the place Of those rath
er disreputable and the residence por-
tions of the city have been improved
by many splendid new houses, 1t would
take much space indeed to even men
tion the many improvements that little
1913 first peeped at that the baby 1912
could not see, for the same reason the
Spanish fleet could not be seen, be-
cause they were not in sight. The com
pletion of the Oregon Electric to AL
bany and the building of the road to
Fir, are milestones set along the road
we are travelling, While we can look
back over 1912 with justifiable pride,
we can also look forward to what
1913 is to bring us, with serene con-
fidence.
While building naturally holds up at
this time OF the year. many new resi-
dences are planned and work will
be begun on them with the coming Of
good weather. The Oregon Electric is
pushing on, and before the close of
the year will have brought the Capital
City in close touch with the rich ter
ritory south of us. The Salem, Falls
City e. Western will extend its lines
though perhaps not under that name
in fact, has already commenced doing
so, to Silverton and on, opening up
rich section to Salem trade The West
side lines will also make connections
that WILL before the year is out, bring
us in touch with the "fat' county of
Benton, and all the rich West Side. At
the same time the road to Falls City
will probably be extended probably to
the coast.
In the meantime there will probably
be something doing on the old Will
lamette. That 1t will eventually have
a six-foot channel to some point above
Salem is a certainty, and that this big
work will commence this year is at
least possible, The city has awakened
and, like young giant, is forging
ahead 1t owes much to its progeni-
tors those who laid it out on splendid
lines for there is no city on the coast
50 splendidly planned. Its broad
streets are a revelation to all who
come from the Eastern cities and
special delight to Portland folks for
that city was unfortunate In its street
provisions, The big parking system In
the location Of its public buildings, is
another feature that no city on the
coast, or anywhere else, for that mat
ter, can boast. We have entered upon
an era Of street paving under which

THE BURLINGTON WILL HELP
Official Commentator for Plans Of
LacIede Commercial Club

It seems difficult to convince
great many people that there is any
virtue in cooperation, or that q
Commercial Club or similar organ
ization can do anything worth
while in town and community.
What the great Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy Railroad Compa-
ny thinks about the matter may be
of some interest, and that it does
heartily endorse such a movement
is shown by the following extract
from letter OF +. .. T1uSUf5, Pv~~---
senger traffic manager of theaBur-
lington, TO L. F. Moore, secretary
of the local organization:
Our advertising agent has
handed me your letter of the 9Th,
and l am glad to see from what
you say that the Commercial Club
of your place is organized with a
promise of being so effective for
the good of all concerned.
We shall be glad to cooperate
in any proper way to assist in good
work of the kind. Our Industrial
Commissioner, Mr.. E. A. Howard,
will be glad to cooperate with the
Club in the matter of locating in
dustries of any kind, and | want
particularly to have your Club
know that we have an Agricultur-
ist, Mr.. j. B. Lamson, headquar-
ters here (Chicago), whose work is
to develop better methods in agri-
culture all along the line of our
road. He goes out into the dis
trict and confers with the people
there and will help them organize
in systematic manner to get bet
ter results, and more than that, the
railroad may assist in other ways
under some circumstances.
In the manner described above,
we can cooperate with you very
effectively"
1t is to the interest Of everyone
in the community that the aims
and purposes of the Commercial
Club shall be carried out, and your
influence may be the factor that
determines success or failure.
The membership fee in the Com
mercial Club is one dollar, payable
to the treasurer, E. E. Benson,
who will issue therefor a member
ship card properly numbered and
signed.

State Convention Is

Disposal Of W. & A

State Legislature in it's disposal will
be considered at a mass meeting of
Atlanta citizens at the Auditorium
Thursday evening at s o'clock

pieces Of the Atlanta Chamber of
Commerce. No conclusion will be
reached as to the disposal Of the
property, which has an estimated
value Of $4,000, 900. The meeting is
a preliminary one, and probably viii
be the first of a number.
In calling the meeting Chamber of
Commerce officials declare they are
moved not only by the fact that the
proper disposal is of the utmost i'm
portance to the State, but because
the road is an important part of the
freight rate situation, and the citizens
of Atlanta have an especial interest
in it,
