lias eight miles of cement walks ami is building x2 miles ft year. lias excellent schools ami colleges,
fine water supply from the Santiam river and a complete sewerage system.
TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES The first railroad center in the state, after Portland. Has
26 passenger trains daily in five different directions. Prospects now most favorable for the extension of
the C. & K. R. R. into eastern Oregon the coming year. Also has river transportation.
MANUFACTURING Has two creameries. The largest condensed milk factory on the coast now
being established. Has large iron works and a second now being installed. Chair factory employing
85 men. Has two planing mills. Fine new modern sawmill commences operations next month. Has
flouring mills and all of the usual city utilities.
THE WATER POWERS OF THE NORTH AND SOUTH SANTIAM RIVERS, waiting to be
harnessed within this county are probably not equalled on the continent outside of Niagara, and should
make this an ideal center for a network of interurban electric lines.

POULTRY RAISING.
There are several large farms in
Oregon devoted to poultry raising,
and the field offers a good opening
to those who understand the busi
ness. In spite of the fact that 3,000,
000 dozen of eggs were produced in
Oregon last year, there were at least
384,000 dozen shipped in to supply
the demand.
