BUSINESS IS RUSHING
SAY SALEM BUILDERS
Public Market Nearing Completion
win Be Ready for the
Cherry Fair.
SAW MILLS ARE RUNNING
TO FULL CAPACITY DAILY.
Farmers in Surrounding Country Are
Showing Progress In Their
improvements.

The big public market building which
R. R. Ryan is erecting on South Com
mercial street will soon be ready for
business. The brick walls and pillars
are going up rapidly and Mr.. Ryan
states that the place will be suffi.
ciently completed to enable the Cherry
fair promoters to place the exhibit on
the first floor.
Much interest is being taken in Mr.
Ryan's building. AT meeting held
by the members of the board of COVER
nors of the Commercial club the fore
part of this week, Mr.. Ryan explained
the workings of his market place. He
stated that the market will be conduct
ed along the same lines as those in
the eastern and southern states and
that his business building will be large
enough to accommodate every farmer
in the county. Mr.. Ryan purposes also
to encourage the fruit growers to bring
in their produce and place it on dis
play and sale in the building.
Business Conditions Firm.
Trading in almost every line in this
city is remarkably good despite the
fact that this is generally considered
to be q quiet time of the year. The
big Spaulding mills are turning out
many thousand feet Of lumber and con
tractors in Salem are all busy as bees.
Plasterers, brick masons and carpenters
are kept on the jump while local
painters are having difficulty in accom-
modating the many residents who are
planning modern color schemes for
their homes.
The farm trade is better than ever
before. This fact is Indicative of n
larger and better business for the Capt.
tai City in every way. Grocery storeI
are reporting big business in vege-
tables and other farm produce and sew.
eral big grain contracts have been
made with the farmers by local feed
stores and flouring mills.
Farmers Progressive.
Moss-backism is apparently thing
of the past in Marion county, Old and
unsightly barns which have stood on
many nice Marion county farms for
ages are being replaced with fine mod
ern structures. The farmers are all
taking more interest in their respective
places and the plants are being
equipped with the latest conveniences
ind the way of storage builings, dairy
barns and hay sheds.
Among the farmers who are getting
in the building game this season is
Willard Matthes. Mr.. Matthes is com
pleting modern barn on his place
near Chemawa, which will house 25

Arthur Girod, Of Quinaby, has also
just built fine new model dairy barn.
A $4,000 bungalow, modern through
out, and neat garage are being fin
ished by j. G. McFarlane on his farm
near Quinaby.
With such improvements as these
going on in the farming district
around Salem, it is sure sign that
business is taking forward move in
almost every line and that the resi-
