For a long time, it has been! the habit of The Statesman to say some- ; thing about itself ton the first day of January fit each year; and to crave the indulgence of the public, since the offensemay not happen again for another twelve, months. ;a J ji'- I I:',; ' ' !j .C ' What may; appropriately be' termed The Statesman family of news- siiaycn jiau us oeginning aiarcn izs, -iboi, wnen : tne urst issue of the .

Pacific Homestead was started eighteen years ago ' the coming If arch 1. - This is now one of the greatest farm weeklies on the coast; and, we think, the most-representative and best. j: V u ; ; In May of the same year the Northwest Poultry Journal was brought ww me iamuy; being a merger or the tnree poultry and pet stock papers theretofore published in the Pacific Northwest. The Northwest Poultry Journal is now undlsquatedly the largest, and, we think, true to Its motto the "Best In the West" ! 4 . ; . . The Oregon Teachers Monthly also became a member of this news ; j lr family in 1900, and it is now the onlyJouraal of its class in Oregon! ll; Is the official organ of the Oregon SUte Teachers' Association. ; x During the . past year The Statesman newspaper family moved into, a ne home of f ts ownj at 21S iBouth" Commercial-street-opposite the Marion Ho 1. The two store buildings fronting on Commercial street Were thrown Jntc ae, and the two floors and basement rebuilt and rearranged to accom moc a the mechanical and ; editorial departments, and the livery stable In tl rear, fronting on Ferry street, was turned Intto a warehouse for . paper Ftock, etc. - Being thus, provided for the special needs of this news paper i 'ant, the- result Is ai much more convenient arrangement than -was posslb! In the rented Quarters, where there were five diffrent landloards, that wers the home of The Statesman plant for over forty years before its removal into its own home.' And the- rooms are light and alfy- And there Is room for expansion, to accommodate g business of several times the. present mflgnltudewhlch will all come about in due time.

We feel that we. have any enemies. In nursuina nolicies anH hattiin ciples,any newspaper must run counter to the interests and notions i people, tnougi wisblng them ever so well personally, as individuals. :s enmities are created, sometimes lasting ones,-that are hard or le to oTercomi. fi;! ;- ?.- .i,- - t of the enemas of this world are made by our inability failure 1 to put oarseVes in the other: fellow's place, ir we could all eei oints of our neighbors, with their influencing sunundings and r circumstance we would nearly all be friends; for "there Is so t about the wofet of us, and so much bad about the best of u," ? not behoove fay of us to make faces at the resf. of us. , : T, the manages of the Statesman Publishing Company wish ail where, and tartlcularly all the oeoole of Salem tnt thl ctlon. a liappt and Prosperous New Year, and many return t . Salem Is in , educational center ;j with a splendid system i of public schools, private educational institutions, and Willamette University. 't 1 Salem has good hospitals; additional buildings and facilities, now being planned.'-; r ; . I - , : : The United States Government Indian' Training School Is located In Salem's suburbs The Salem Institution accommodates about 600. pupils. i Besides the aptol and the supreme court building, with: all .their departments and bareaua, there are located here the state asylum for the Insane; the state penitentiary, the state Institution for the feeble minded, the state industrial school for boys, state reform school for girls, state school for deaf mutes,. state school for the blind, etc. Salem has rail and water competition in transportation; with ja number of electric and steam line projects waiting for more favorable conditions for building. - ' i - j ' . . : " ' i j Capital of Oregon, county seat lof Marlon county; market city for one of the richest sectionstof the United States, with great undeveloped and partially developed resources, Salem is a solid city, and destined to prosper and to grow steadily, -v ! ' . One of the biggest things that happened to Salem during 1917 was the construction and opening for operation Of the first unit of the plant of the Salem-Kings Products Company. This company has bought all the available vegetables suitable for evaporating by their new process, givlhg a market for all the vegetables the farmers In this community can raise; and assisting also in'ttae marketing of fruits. The writer has no authority for saying that other units will be added soon to the original one now in, operation; but the room and the initial preparations are already Provided and made; and. since there is an unlimited market for the finished products, it is natural to take care of all the raw materials offered.- And. as soon as the farmers and gardeners of this section all fully realize, as some of them now do, that they can market at remunerative prices all they can grow In the line of vegetables, more and more units will have to be pro vided, to keep up with the natural growth. The sums of money brought ioj Salem and the surrounding country to buy the raw products and to hire tne laoor in tne iaciory, wm oe inns rapiojy . increased and these contribu tions are already large and helpful. t The article in this number, on the poultry Industry, by C. F. Williams, editor of the Northwest Poultry Journal, is worth reading; and should be read by every one who sees f this number of The Statesman; and more especially by every patriotic citizen who has land; either a farm large or small, or even a few city lots. .The raising of poultry now, duing the war. is a patriotic duty. The lessons learned from the industry started in this way will be of vast benefit to the whole country, and tohe individuals who .take up the industry as a patriotic duty; for many of them will no doubt continue in the. raising of poultry, to their lasting profit and for the general good of a well balanced prosperity. Poultry products are going to be useful to the country after peace shall have come. - The industry will never be overdone. r - I r , ; LENA BELIE TARTAR V - COHTRALTO-TEACHER OF VOICE r Co f-r cf A n i !

Miss Tartar Is a graduate of the Oregon Agricultural School of Music, pupil of William Frederick Gaskins, and of : the American Conservatory, Chicago, pupil of Karleton Hackett, official editor of the Chicago Opera Program, musical critic for the Chi cago Evening Post, and . a leading vocal authority in America. . Miss Tartar came - to Salem - last June and since that time has had charge of the music at the First Bap tist church. She has appeared at a number of recitals and concerts ' In Salem, McMinnville, and Corvallis, and .has met with very enthusiastic receptions.; As to her ability as a vocalist the following comment from her former instructors needs no elaboration: "Miss Tartar has musicianship of high order, having exhaustively stu died such essentials of musical schol arship las harmony,- counterpoint, harmonic analysis, theory of music, history of music, and nearly all of the tenable theories of voice culture ib related to singing and teaching. "Miss Tartar's voice is a big, rich, sympathetic contralto of wide range and impressive sonority, trained ac cording to the sanest principles of singing, i Her style of delivery is convincing and admirable and her Interpretations authoritative1. "It you are In search of a teacher you will -find great difficulty in lo cating one of. better musicianship and natural qualifications. I unhesl tatingly recommend Miss Tartar." William Frederic Gaskins. Corvallis, Or., Sept. 8, 1817. "Miss Lena Belle Tartar has a con tralto voice ot fine natural quality. wide range and volume, enabling her to sing the heavy works in adequate fashion. She has feeling for music and sings with understanding of the music and appreciation of the wordsi i ''Miss T&rpii was an earnest and intelligent stafentjoahe.art of sing Ing and has learned from the study of her own voice how to impart thi art of singing to her pnpils. j : "She Is well qualified - ta . teacn singing and it Is a pleasure to me to give her hearty recommendat'on-t ; -Karleton Hackett.
