BUSINESS Is GOOD
DESPITE POLITICS
Salem and Willamette Valley Talked
About over Entire United States
City Is Top .Notcher.

Despite the fact that politics has
grip on the local public today, busl
ness dwindled not in the least. IT
anything the Salem merchants were
buster than ever and there were good
sized crowds on the streets this after
noon.
According to the farmers of Marion
county who were seen on tne streets
today, agricultural work is taking up
the time of everyone out of the towns
at present, and Mother Nature is ex-
tending such fayors as to compel the
farmer to get in and hustle in order
to keep up with the ever-growing weed.
Localities Encouraged.
1t is doubtful if there is a section Of
a country in the whole United States
so widely talked about than Salem aid
the Willamette Valley at present. The
tourist. is not great through here by no
means, but at the same. time some of
the most prominent capitalists in the
east have stopped OFF here this week.
John C. Tolls, leading lumberman OF
Augusta, Maine was in the city last
Wednesday, having stopped off here
to look around before resuming his
sightseeing trip through the extreme
southern states. This is what Mr..
Tolls said about Salem: Undoubted
and without question you people of
Salem certainly have a beautiful and
progressive city. Salem, in my nina,
should be made a city of perhaps $4,000
people within the next five or ten
years. You have every advantage that
a growing city could wish for, and |
can see no reason why the capital uf
Oregon should not be the leading city
of the state within q comparatively
short time.
Farming District Landed.
"The Willamette valley is one great
garden, - said Hurley G. Dunnigan, a
retired farmer of Wichita, Kansas, yes
terday evening as lie sat in an easy
chair in the lobby of the Hotel Marion
enjoying a good cigar. Z" Yes stree, my
friend, | don't believe the people of
Salem realize fully the advantages of
county or farming district surround
this city. 1t can be beat, and if it
was not for the fact that / have gone
out of the farming business, l would
grab on to the first hundred acres I
could find right near Salem and go to
raising everything under the sun. There
will be time, and soon, too, wnen
Salem will be a tcp-notcher ON the
coast 1t can't help but grow, and
the Lord knows you have plenty of
room in which to expand both up and
sideways.
The Journal representative, not
knowing just how to take the last re-
mark made by Mr.. Dunnigan, asked
him what he meant by it. He explain
ed that Salem is not limited to any
extent for want of building possibil
tiles inasmuch as the business district
can be spread out a mile or so con.
veniently and that the residential dis
trict is large enough to accommodate
several thousand more homes.
The above remarks were just sam
ple of what eastern visitors have to say
about Salem and vicinity. All concur
in saying that climatic conditions in
this country cannot be beat and all
that Salem has to do is to grasp heI
opportunities.

Last night the Y. M. @. A. relay
team was out for q practice run and
taking advantage of Physical Director
Gingrich Big Ben, broke all speed rec
ords. Dutton, who has u record of five
miles in % minutes and Al seconds, was
third man last night, and Chet Hug
gins, former star two-miler at the Uni

200 yards, Joe Minton finishing second.
In fact, Gingrich says that the time
