Mayor White Reviews Year;
Is Pleased With Results

(By Harley o. White, Mayor of Salem }
The past year in Salem in municipal
way has been quiet. The outstanding
feature has been the result of munich
pal construction of sewers and streets.
The charter amendment giving tho
city power to handle this class of work
has been a grand success in every way.
In all the work done by the city, we
havo been able to save from 90 TO 35
per cent in the cost as well as receiving
a better class Of improvements than
when done by contract
The city constructed during the past
spring, main and lateral sewers in all
parts Of the city at the minimum cost
and was enabled to employ home labor
at time when worh was badly need.
ed.
There was about $l2,0O0.00 spent on
sewers, the largest part of which went
for labor
1t has been the policy Of the city to
employ as far Rs possible on this work,
men with families who needed the work
in order to make living.

Spaulding Lumber Company
Leads Salem'S Industries

Among the many manufacturing in
dustrics in Salem, the Charles X.
Spaulding Logging Company easily
leads in importance. Its big mill sit.
uated at the foot of Ferry street, is one
of the busiest places in the city, and
the owners have somehow managed to
keep it going steadily throughout the
year, in spite of the general dullness
Of the lumber market.
The mill was formerly the property
Of A. b. and G. N. Moores aud other
heirs Of j. II. Moores, they operating
it under the name of the Capital
Lumber Company. 1t was purchased
by the Charles X. Spaulding Company
in 1905, since which time it has been
enlarged and its capacity increased.
At present it cuts 100000 feetin nine
hours.
The company is wide awake and a
persistent business gotter manufactur.
ing the famous Indiana Silo and n ready
made garage that is made in three
foot sections, fastened together with
bolts and can be put up in u few
hours. The company is also planning
to make barns in the same way.
All kinds of lumber from rough di
mcnsion to the finest finishing is
made, and sash and door factory
along with box factory are run ii
connection with the mill
This company furnished the mill
work for the addition to the branch
asylum at Pepdieton, just built, and
for the Shattuck school building in
Portland.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON
2. L. Campbell. President

This institution was established by
the legislature October 49,, 1872, and
located at Eugene. Deadly Hi, the
first University building, was erect
ed by the citizens of Lane county and
presented to the board of regents in
july 1876. 1t opened its doors in
September of that year, ana its first
class was graduated in June 1878.
The departments of Law and Medi-
cine are located in Portland. Its aim
is to supplement the work of the high
schools, with four year university
course and to encourage graduate
study. 1t offers the following work.
Architecture, Art, Botany, Chemis-
try, Commerce, Economics, Education,
English, Geography, Geology, German,
Greek, History, Journalism, Latin,
Mathematics, Philosophy, Physical
Training, Physics, Polite Science,
Psychology, Public Speaking, Romance
Languages, Zoology, Law, Medicine
and Music. The average number of
professors and instructors is 80; and
Of employees not engaged in teaching,
~ Its average monthly pay roll IS
$l5,0G9 and the number of students
enrolled l,733.
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1916-01-01

The company also owns mill at
Newburg with about the same capac-
ity as the one here, it being operated
by the company before the mill here
was purchased.
The market for its products is about
one third local, the balance being sent
to California and Utah points, and
some to the eastern states.
Its logs are secured partly from the
big Luckiamute being driven down the
hat stream, and brought here by the
company's towing steamer. Another
source of supply is from the little
Luckiamute, these beng delivered over
the Salem, Falls City & Western rail-
road and the timber belt available is
practically inexhaustible.
The pay roll is the largest in the
city, the average number Of employees
at the mill being l75, and in addition
from 60 to 10 men are engaged in the
logging camps. The mill at Newburg
employs about the same number, hut
the logging crews mentioned supply
both mills.
The company has cut out much
waste, selling its slabs for fuel, this
branch alone keeping several teams
busy, and delivering rs to so loads n
day. From 90 to 80 loads of saw dust
daily nre sold, this being used by the
laundries, the plant at the former
brewery and electric light plant. A
big electric derrick has recently been
installed for loading timbers and the
plant is up to the minute in every way.
The offices of the company are at
Ferry and Front.

and has far less rate than any city
of similar size in tne Northwest and
as good as any of the larger cities.
This was undoubtedly brought about
by the agitation for u municipal light
plant.
This work should be continued so
that when our contract expires the city
will have plant ready for operation.
The city should secure n power site
and commence work IN ample time. AS
the construction work will take two and
possibly three years to complete, this
work should be planned far enough in
advance so that the city can be ready to
furnish light and power fovprivate use
as well as for the city.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGE


This cOlleOe located at Corvallis was
ORIGINALLY the Corvallis College under
the control of the NJ. Il. church. 1t
was given state aid by the legislature
and in 1885 was voluntarily turned
over by the church TO the state. Its
aims "to teach such branches of learn
ing as are related to agriculture and
the mechanical arts in order to pro-
mote the liberal and practical educa-
tion Of industrial classes in tne sew
oral pursuits and professions of life"
The Institutional force is equal to
the full time of 1877, and the expert
ment station force is equal to the fun
time of 45 people. The student en-
rollment for the 36 weeks course is
1923, and for the short courses g.
535.
Starting with one building and 35
acres of ground it now has 80 build
ings and $40 acres of land, and is
crowded for room.

In few years, this plant would be a
source of revenue to the city instead of
large outlay under private ownership
as at present.
The citizens of the city can help
the council and officers of the city a
great deal in their work if they would
take more interest in the business of
the city and would keep themselves in
formed in more detail as to what is be-
ing done.
The city council and members of the
city government are simply your agents
in conducting your business and are al.
ways glad TO receive intelligent advice
and the backing Of the people.

Secretary Of State Handles
Vast Number of Claims

The steady increase in the work of
the office of Secretary of State is
indicated by the number of claims
handled for the mast taree years.
While the amount for 1918 is not
larger than for 1918, the number of
claims is 50 per cent greater. The
automobile department also indicates
the rapid increase of work.
