The paper mill uses more water in the. manufacturing of paper than the. total amount furnished to the. 2,000 people of Salem by the Salem Water company And the paper mill uses the wate. from Mill creek: It has a rfght to expect that the water of Mill creek shall remain unpollut ed, excepting from natural, causes at flood times. Clear, clean water is required in making the highest grades of paper. So. if the legislature passes the bill appropriating $30,000 for a new industry at the penitentiary, and that ne windustry is made a box factory, according to the re commendation of Governor Oicott in his message to the legislature and a box factory making boxes from the log if. by the wild3St stretch of the imagination of any one outside the padded walls, such an Impossible thing could be im agined with $30,000 Then there will be injunctions and mandamuses and actions and suits to the limit of the resources of the lawyers, before such an in dustry can be gotten to going And it will be strung out until .Methuselah will look like a youngster: Hhat's what you would do if you owned a paper mill under liek conditions. That's what anybody with red blood in his veins and gray matter in his cranium would do. So there is going to be a merry old time, if that $30,000 bill gets through, and if the $30,000 in dustry ever gets to the point of roiling and ploluting the waters of Mill creek.

Fruit and Hop Growers Prepare For Spring Work The fruit men throughout the Salem district have been busy pruning their trees, and the hop men are preparing to get very busy in their yards and a number of new hop yards will be put out. The fact is, that the country around Salem in all directions is up on its toes, looing for favor able weather, when spring work will go forward with a rush. Every man will be at his post, and there will be more work than ever before for men, women and children in the fields and orchards and gardens. Bruce Cunningham, of the Lib erty district, is preparing ground on his "Sky Line Ranch" five miles northwest of Liberty for CO acres of loganberries. He will also probibly put out several acres of strawberries. Mr. Cunningham is a rustler and believes in doing things on a big scale, because he forsees great things for Salem and vicinity. H. B. Woods, a young and energetic man, has charge of the ranch and its intended im provements. The "Skyline Orchard" people have about finished pruning their 270 acre prune orchard. Every fourth tree in the orchard is a high grade walnut tree In vigorous growth. This scribe was up there last week and the reader gets this at first hand.
