WHY NOT BUILD NEW STATION?

Times improving, business is getting better every

the new, and we all hope permanent prosperity Of the
country
This being the why would it not be in order for
the Southern Pacific Company to build that long promised
depot in Salem? That would tend to show the railroads
faith in the revival Of business and would inspire con-
fdence among other interests spreading the contagon
of improvement and investment.
Salem ought to have a railroad station-that
proposition need not be argued And the city has waited
long and patiently accepting the promises of the rail
road officials and making little complaint and trouble
over it.
