If you need a piano
you'd better read it.
If you hate music it
won't interest you.
But who does hate
music?
Nobody, any more
than he can hate chill
dren. That old royal
heavy-in-hand, George
I of England, confessed
to hating "boetry and
bainting," but excluded
music from the ban, and
DR.. Johnson in one of
his crOssest moments
(perhaps somebody was
practising on a tinny
old harpsichord that
should have been ex-
changed long ago) was
obliged to admit that
"of all sounds, it
[music] is one of the
least disagreeable."
The love of music is
an instructive passion
with normal human
beings.
But satisfying that
love was another thing
very, very much an
other thing-for the
general public for cen
turies, until the piano,
in the embryo of its
modern form, appeared
in the year 17O9 and
brought music ri @ h t
into the homes of the
people as it never had
been brought b efore
in the history of music.
Next another big
step. In April 1923,
Jonas Chickering es-
tablished, in the city of
Boston, the first definite
and practical piano fac.
tory in America. Un-
bending standards Of
excellence on the part
of the manufacturers
continued for 80 years
since that date, have
made the Chickerine
one Of the most famous
pianos in the world.

Previous to this the

CWhCE -
We regard it as a dis
tinct achievement to
have been able for so
many years to present
to citizens Of Pennsyl-
vania the Chickering
piano in a manner COM
mensurate with its
dignity, and on terms
and conditions tn at
brought it within the
reach of many whose
financial resources 8
were less than their
artistic appreciation.
TT is scarcely neces-
4 sary to say much
more about these beau
tifully artistic little
grand player pianos,
since the name Chick
ering tells it all.
They are instruments
with limitless possibili-
ties that thunder and
whisper and sing and
sob, and send out
silvery notes like rippl-
ing laughter, capable Of
expressing the whole
gamut of human emo
ton
For it must be re-
membered that while
music was popltldrized
by the introduction and
complete realization Of
the perfected piano, it
remained for the play
er-piano to iniUersdlize
it.
Love and apprecia-
ton of good music, and
technical knowledge
and the ability to play
(even for ones own en-
joyment) do not GO
hand in hand. Very
often, indeed, the true
lover of music cannot
read or play a single
note.
To such. this opportunity Of
obtaining a player-pianO Of the

so that it appears TO me that our future
lis stin ahead of us, and not behind us,
as in some of the high value land Sec
tions. Lack of the necessity for irriga-
tion in most parts of the state, which is
an extra added expense to the cost of
operation, should be another great fac
tor to the advantage Of Oregon IS fruit
industry, if the fruit bubble should ever
burst and the industry not prove an in
terest paying investment in other locali-
ties where orchards are considered worth
from $1,000 to $500 per acre. Some day
the superior flavors of most Oregon
fruits, which are the products of its
wonderful climate, win be a great talk
ing point in selling fruits.
Outlook Is Roseate.
The outlook for the fruit industry
around Salem is particularly bright.
With, an outlet now for every bit of
fruit the grower can grow, at remuner-
'ative prices, the fruit growers condi-
tion shows more stability than it ever
has before in the history of the William
cite valley. At the present time the
Fruit Products concerns are in the mar
ket for paintings on long term con-
tracts, Of from 5000 to 5000 acres of
Gooseberries, Strawberries, Cuthbert
Red Raspberries, Blackcap Raspberries,
Loganberries and Evergreen Blackber-
ries. Orders for several thousand tons
of these fruits were obliged to be pass
ed up last season on account of lack of
supply by farmers and fruit growers in
this district to supply the necessary ton
mage which the canneries, juice plants
and evaporating plants are ready toI
give long contracts on.
Let s keep the pace we have been go
ing and keep Salem district ahead Of
all the rest of the northwest. We can
do it, if we will but try.

LEGISLATION AND TAXATION.

LEGISLATION AND TAXATION.
General Work. During the year this
department has been asked to pass upon
approximately sixty different laws ana
questions affecting the community gem
trally, such as new freight rates, inter-
state commerce acts, postage laws. etc.
The organization has sent protests
against and petitions for many differ
ent laws both to local and national
congress. A few such questions in which
Salem was especially interested are:
Freight rates. Petitioned interstate
commerce commission against discrim-
mating rate to coast points.
$4,000 Appropriation for willamette.
Instituted and maintained a campaign
for an $50, 900 appropriation for govern
ment to deepen locks at Oregon CITY,
making it possible to run freighters up
Willamette. Appropriation granted
Chemawa Appropriation. Petitioned
the committee of Indian Affairs in sem
ate and house for an added appropriate
tiOn for Chemawa. This institution was
in need of more money and was in a bad
shape. The government was talking Of
moving the school. Created interest
sufficient to have this committee deter
mine to leave school here and make a
$4,000 appropriation for new building
and improvements, with a promise Of
more each succeeding year.

Salem Fruit Union.

Salem is now the largest fruit pro
ducts manufacturing city in the Pacific
northwest. Conferred within her limits
are two of the largest canning plants
in the northwest, the Hunt Brothers
company and the Oregon Packing COM
pany, which is branch of the Califor-
mia Packing corporation of San Francis
co. She has two immense nationally ad-
vertised Loganberry Juice factories, the
Phez factory and the Loju factory, the
latter of which also puts up large guam
titles of Appleju, which is unfermented
apple juice of the highest type now be-
ing manufactured in America. 1t has
centered in it six dried fruit packing
concerns.
II. S. Gile & Company.
Drager Fruit Company.
Salem Fruit Union.
Willamette Valley Prune Association.
Allen Fruit Company.
Il. w. Powers & Sons.
$50 Evaporators.
These concerns do almost two thirds
of the dried prune business and about
nine tenths of the dried Loganberry
nancing of this enormous dried fruit
business and the Loganberry juice is
all handled by one bank, the Ladd &
Bush bank. 1t is also favored with
three vinegar plants, the Gideon Stoltz
company being the largest vinegal
plant in the Willamette valley, and the
Commercial Cider works and the Greg
ory Cider and Vinegar factory. 1t has
also the largest commercial fruit and
vegetable evaporating plant on the Pa
cific coast, belonging to the Wittenberg
King company of Portland, Oregon. In
addition to these large plants the sur
rounding district is served by from 200
to $50 evaporators owned by the fruit
growers themselves. The investment in
plants and equipment represented by the
Salem Fruit Products plants is up
wards of three-quarters of million dol
lars.
$1,000 Acres of Fruit.
Tributary to these Salem plants are
approximately $4,000 acres of fruit in
bearing and just coming into bearing
comprising Gooseberries, Strawberries,
Loganberries, Blackberries, Blackcap
Raspberries, Cuthbert Red Raspberries,
Cherries, Pears, Apples, Plums, Prunes,
etc, representing total investment of
upwards of five million dollars, and
bringing into this city about $2,000,000
per year gross, helping hold up the
bank balances against the steady out |
ward flow of money for automobiles
and supplies. The immensity of this
industry is fully realized by perhaps
not more than couple of dozen people
