The owner is Kola Neis, a man who came to Oregon as a young boy from Germany without a dollar to spare, He has made a lot of money in Oregon real estate and the hop business, His investment in Salem shows good judgment and faith in the future of the Capital City, I lhave a fine business corner for sale that has doubled in value and over in two years,, and will double again in the next few years, It is practically in the heart of the business district, for it must be remembered Salem is growing south pretty fast, The fact that the city has secured a lot for a water office on the corner of Commercial and Trade streets for $8500 shows what business property is worth in that part of the city, All the big deals nearly have been made in a radius of two blocks from that point , The lease of the Steeves property for fifty years to the Sa lem Bank & Trust Company is considered one of the best in vestments ever made in Salem, as the rent rolls are now over $400 a month, and when the improvements are made will go up to $500. A 50-year lease is a new thing at Salem, but shows confidence in the future of the city, It is pretty well known that the United States National bank building is paying about thirteen per cent net on the investment, and there is not a room in the building vacant for over a few weeks at a time, Another such office building would rent pretty nearly as well, and the latter part of the year will see one going up, The present financial depression is not hurt ing the value of Salem property, because values here have never reached the speculative or boom conditions prevailing at Eugene or Medford or Portland, Property at Salem is not fgoing back. It may stand still for a few months, but is sure ;ot advance when the crops move. The success of the German Society in making 90 per cent profit on a piece of Salem property in 18 months, or a j profit of five per cent a month is an argument in favor of co operative investment. The Germar 'Society is negotiating i for another piece of property to be handled in the' same way, and, wth loo members, that organization will be able to dis pose of anythng they undertake. There is an opportunity for people to join in the erection of a fine business block, to cost $40,000 that will pay over $4000 a year rent. Inves tors with from one to five thousand dollars who wish to become part owners in such a property cannot put their mon ey into a better proposition, as the owners of the- property are willing to put in their business lot, and also put a lot of money into the building, Suchopportunties do not come often and there are not many such openings under first-class con ditions, If you have a thousand dollars to put into high class property do not fail to investigate. Good farm properties are in demand, and some are being bought up at fair prices, Good valley land aft anywhere near the hundred-dollar mark, with any improvements in two to three hundred-acre lots will be picked up, Derby & Willson sold the Mrs. Tom Bruce farm, 100 acres. tour miles north of Salem this week for $12,000. There are several big deals in ihe city to be pulled off early next week, but cannot be published in advance of actual sales. Salem people have confidence in Salem property and show it by making improvements and buying at advances in all sections of the city.

CIRCUS DAY IN SALEM IS SATURDAY AL. G. BARNES GREAT TRAINED ANIMAL CIKCTS HERE TOMOR ROWBIG STREET FARADE STARTS AT 10:3(1, The 1911 circus season will open tomorrow when the Al. G. Barnes' big three-ring animal circus will give two performances in this city at S. P. show grounds. To say that it Is different than anything of Its kind which has even been seen here Is shown and appreciated by the Med ford Mall Tribune which says, "it Is the most thrilling and best show which has been seen west of the Rocky Mountains for many years." s E :.plJ3 HL ED EI WKZ :: ' :: r j : 7- t" 1 -A Right Prices I - 3 Rig Rm hi Qmalifcl ht cicvices Have made for us the largest Carpet and Furniture business in Salem.

O t Everywhere the press has acknow ledged It to be something new from the old circus which our forefathers were accustomed to seel. Long before the average Individual is up the big train of 20 cars will slip into town, and by the time for the parade the acres of tents which are necessary to house the big at traction will be in readiness for the performance. To see a circus with many aerial acts Is but to see the daily vaudeville but when 300 wild animals, all of them trained to do tricks which fall little short of the impossible, perform under the direc tion of men and women trainers in the mammoth steel arena with the ease of human beings, then there is something more than the average show to be seen. Lions ride horses and eat raw meat from their trainers' mouths, fero cious tigers and lions perform to gether as though they were never at enmity, and It might be said here that the troupe of tigers presented by Mr. Barnes, were bought at the enormous expense of $25,000 from the Maharajah of Ceylon, and are the only group of Royal Bengal tigers now being exhibited. Elephants which give a vaudeville act all by themselves, beautiful spotted Persian leopards and South American pan thers which under the direction of little Mile. Martha Florlne present tableaux vivante, mountain lions, bears, cheetas, a herd of sacred cat tle, from India, high school horses, ponies, dogs, riding goats, and the greatest act now being presented In the world, Mr. Edwin Kelly entering the cage of the monster untamable African lion, Caesar Wallace. So dangerous is this, act that the mana ger of the tent, is required to contin ually keen firing a revolver to dis tract the' attention ' of this beast somewhat from Mr. Kelly.' The big parade which will start from the show grounds at 10:30 sharp will proceed through the prin cipal streets of the town and a more beautiful pageant can hardly be imagined. All the animals known to the kingdom of wild beasts are ex7 hlblted from the monkey to the ele pliant. Then there are the beautiful high school ponies, a group of zebras from far off Africa, an animal rarely seen in capitvlty In this country, men and women trainers in the cages, with the animals grouped around them as though they were so many house pets. And the funny clowns. A show would not be complete without this feature. Again to quote the Medford Trib une, "Children receive a most in structlve lesson In natural history and the elders are given an illustra tlon what kindness and patience caa accomplish with the most savage and blood-thirsty beasts." There will be two performances at 2 o'clock and 8:00. NEW AITO LAW GOES INTO EFFECT JVXE 1 When the new automobile law goes into effect the first of June P, A.
