UNEMPLOYED SITUATION

Editor Capital Journal: While
many problems confront the American
people, perhaps none press home so
keenly as the problem of the unemploy-
ed. And yet, this problem is but one
phase of general condition which is
spreading. Not only is our nation
confronted with this grave problem of
the unemployed, but all other nations
are similarity afflicted, with this vital
difference, that it is still comparative
ly easy for the other nations to unload
their surplus and unemployed upon us,
because of the rather lax and unrG-
stricted immigration laws Of our coun
try.
Without entering into discussion
of "How, Why and Wherefore" " with

and reasons for existing conditions,

Mr.. Editor, you were attracted to
our beautiful city by our well paved
streets and other permanent improve
ments, and so will the home-seeker be
attracted by these permanent roads, to
settle on our lands. claim it is not
such a great advantage to attract the
speculator as the man who wants a per-
manent home. Give us a system of per-
manent highways in Marion county,
and the question of "back to the

CATTLE SHRINKAGE STUDY
GOOD PLAN TO FEED PLENTY OF
HAY JUST BEFORE LoANDING
ANIMALS ON TRAIN.
[uNIrrp Press InAsrp w1hn.l ]

An extensive study of methods of
preventing the shrinkage of cattle
shipped on the hoof has just been con-
cluded by the Department of Agricul-
ture, The methods promise to save
hundreds Of dollars TO the farmers and
stock raisers, Heretofore it has not
been uncommon for steer to reach the
stock yards weighing from so to 70
pounds less than when it left the farm,
but by proper feeding this may be ma
terially reduced.
In 265 shipments of cattle, compris-
ing 10000 head, the loss ranged from
2.14 to per cent, depending on the
length of time the cattle were en- route
the treatment they received en- route,
and what they had in their stomachs
when they started. Steers show less
shrinkage than cows but the difference
is not as great as many shippers sup
pose.
"If cattle are to in transit "a hours
or longer, it is a good plan to feed
about two bales of nice bright hay for
each carload few hours before load
ing" is the advice of the Department.
"There is no way of entirely prevent.
ing shrinkage, but by judicious care in
handling and feeding the cattle just
previous to shipping the shrinkage
may be lessened The shrinkage of
fed cattle does not differ greatly from
that of range cattle fed for equal
periods of time. Cattle fed on silage
have a large gross shrinkage but usu.
ally fill so well when fed at the mar.
ket that the net shrinkage is small
Pulp fed cattle shrink more in tran
sit than any other class Of cattle and
also show greater net shrinkage. Fol
a long journey the common method Of
unloading for feed, water and rest il
preferred to the use of feed and
water cars.

Splendid Location.

For instance, the old Adolph build.
ing, located at the corner Of State and
Commercial streets, is being "dolled :"
up. This old building has never been
touched up since the ancient date in
which it was set up, 1t has been oc.
cupied by many important classes of
business, and is conceded to be one of
the best, if not the best, business sites
in the city. Joe Adolph, the owner,
has decided that his building should be
modern and convenient. Consequently,
the Adolph building is being gutted to-
day. and nothing but the bare walls
are standing on the eity's most im-
portant corner. Mr.. Adolph intends to
convert the old shell into what will be
one Of the most attractive buildings in
Salem. Monster plate glass windows
will be installed on the State street side
Of tho structure, and the upper floor
will be used for q pool room and office
departments, Tn eground floor will be
prepared for offices for lawyers, real
estate men, doctors or any other bust
ness requiring reasonably small quar-.
ters.
Mr.. Adolph is well aware Of bust.
ness possibilities in Salem and is max.
ing preparations for the activity which
is believed will be at hand within a
comparatively short time.
Other improvements,
South Commercial street will soon
bloom out with a remodeled building,
the Independent Meat Market having
leased the building formerly occupied
by Swartz 6 Co.. saloon men. The meat
market in question is now located on

to the Swart2 building on the first Of
next month.
The Spa, one Of Salem's modern con.
fectionerics, is making some good i'm.
provements to its store on State street,
among which is new tile floor. This
popular establishment is working hard
to gain the highest mark in efficiency
and sanitation, and the proprietors in.
tend to keep things humming until
their place is equal to the best in the

LOW SPEED MOTORS .
BEST FORL|GHT CAR
Competition With American
Medium-Priced Machine Is
Problem of Foreign Makers.
By JOHN N. WILLYS.

The main problem which foreign
manufacturers have encountered in try
ing 10 compete with the moderate-price
American automobile has been that Of
producing a powerful motor This one
feature has proved the stumbling block
in every attempt thus far made to COM
pete with American manufacturers. and
il bids fair to continue as the unsur-
mcuntable obstacle in any attempted
competition.
The aim OF foreign manufacturers OF
small cars. especially those in England
according to officials of the WHY'S
Overia nd Company, of Toledo. Ohio. has
thus far been to provide a powerful
and speedy light car. To accomplish
an cutput-of even a moderate horse
power and speed, English makers have
utilized an engine of small bore and
stroke, depending on the speed of the
piston to develop the Necessary power
AS a result the light car of foreign
manufacture has not yet made a pro-
nounced success. The American car

BY all odds the hardest test that
motor cars have ever had to undergo In
years was set in tine recent snowstorms

The greatest difficulty encountered by

OF obtaining traction on the streets.
Nearly every motor car owner used tire
chains and those " no did not got hope

Mechanical advances in construction
have SO improved the automobile that
there is little excuse for smashes. Per-
haps the only risk that cannot be en-
tirely eliminated comes in the use of
the car on wet and slippery streets.
