Perhaps some of our readers feel that their section has
not been given its due share of attention in The Mail but we
assure you that we desire to have a regular correspondent in
each section contiguous to Stayton, also in Mill City, Lyons,
Sublimity, Aumsville, Shaw, and any section served by
Uncle Sam.
Feel that you have a personal interest in the welfare of
your community and see to it that all matters of interest are
sent in not later than Wednesday so that they reach The
Mail office by Wednesday night to insure their appearance in
the weeks issue.
We want general news of interest to your friends not
only here but elsewhere. What interests them stimulates
the interest at home and a Marion county home is the best
investment for surplus cash. Send in the news.
It is not our desire to cope with the metropolitan press
in giving to the public “ heavy” editorials, but it is our desire
to meet every proposition of direct import to Stayton first,
Marion county second and Beaver State third.
Every community is known to a great many people, who
judge the residents of that community according to their
individual views. Let us hope to be able to merit the hearty
approval of our citizens, their friends and as many as may
read or hear of the Stayton Mail.
We wish you to feel that you have a personal interest
in your community be that where it may and if at any time
you desire to become more closely allied with Stayton
we will be glad to have as many residents as Portland.
With the passing of the panic and the close of a presi
dential campaign near at hand our city has gone steadily for
ward and to those who live in great cities we say, do not
strive for wealth where competition is so keen but come to
the center of Marions business district where nothing has
been overdone and where you can live an independent life
provided you are a worker for the upbuilding of Stayton
and vicinity.
Our population is composed of enthusiastic citizens and
if you wish to better your condition also help yourself to the
best opportunity to secure a home in the best section of the
Willamette valley we have the place for you in Stayton,
Marion county, Oregon.
It is gratifying to note the loyalty of our residents in
coming to the assistance of any enterprise beneficial to our
city and community. In the matter of raising the cash nec
essary for the electric railroad, Stayton leads all sections or
towns in Marion county, not even excepting the State Capital,
which is reported to have raised $$o,ooo, but so far as we
have been able to learn has not raised $3,000.
With the population of Salem ten times greater than
Stayton, they need not think we feel the least dismay, for
Stayton without a railroad has more city pride, energy and
personal vim than any other town in the Beaver State. She
will have an electric road if she has to build it herself,
for Stayton is alive and does not believe in going about any
project in a half hearted way.
Show For Stayton.
Beginning last Thursday .Stayton
now has a moving picture and illus
trated song parlor two nights of each
week.
Delbert Mill recently purchased a
fine Edison Moving Picture machine
and has added a splendid phonograph
which renders the song*, the slides for
which are not excelled anywhere.
Mr. Hill gave two very successful
exhibitions here and on Tuesday and
Wednesday of each week Stayton is to
have a show of their own. Each step
toward metropolitan conveniences
our city, so lets keep stepping.
The Stayton .Mail has changed
hands. Mr. Fred O. Conley is the
new proprietor. From a few moments
conversation with him, last week, we
concluded that he had the necessary
push about him to make the Mail a
juccegsful newspaper —Santiaiu News.
Plant Enlarged.
The Excelsior plant here is now-
running with a small crew owing to
the enlargement of the plant which
was undertaken a short time ago. A
larger turbine lias been installed, wood
and dust conveyors are added to the
former equipment, but even w ith the
present crew the total of one hundred
tons of excelsior are shipped to Port
land and Han Francisco.
With the new equipment finished
the output will he doubled as well as
the cost of production slightly re
duced by eliminating the additional
handling of the wood and dust which
will be carried in the new conveyors.

It is a fact that this section of
Marion county is unknown to the
remainder of this state ns well as to
eastern |>eople. We have all the re*
quirements necessary for the success
ful pursuit of any lino ot horticulture,
agriculture,stock raising and dairying.
We need more people to locate on
smaller acreage than is now owned hy
residents. The present owners, many )
of whom have raised wheat for over
thirty years on the same ground, have
diversified farming than by putting
all their eggs iu one basket.
