THE STATESMAN'S HISTOMCAL SECTION
When the procession formed on the morning of Wednes
day, October 8, 1873 to proceed to the capitol grounds and
lay the corner stone of the Capitol, it was made up and start
ed from Reed's Opera house, which is now the Miller store,
Liberty and Court streets. It proceeded south to the Arm
ory, corner, then west on Ferry past the Chemeketa hotel,
now Hotel Marion, and it received the state and civil officers
at the corner of Commercial and Ferry streets
And they came from the present Statesman building,
where were then the offices of the Governor, Secretary of
State, State Treasurer and other state officers and em
ployees And the grand officers of the Masons joined the proces
sion at the Murphy building, Commercial and State streets,
over what is now Busick's grocery store; and proceeding
, north on Commercial to Court street, the procession turned
east and followed that street to the capitol grounds.
The laying of teh corner stone followed, at the northeast
corner, where the office of the State Treasurer is now lo
cated. ' " 1 : i .
' The photograph taken there was a remarkable one, for
that time, as shown by the reproduction on the picture sheet
in The Statesman of this morning. ,
On that October morning there was a far different Salem
from the fine city of this morning of February 18, 1921, near
ly fifty years later.
: No telephones then; no paving; no concrete sidewalks;
no electric street lights not even gas ones ; they were coal oil
lights; no street railway lines: No automobiles till over a
quarter of a century later. No telegraph messages taken by
tound; the tape was used then. No typewriters. No moving
pictures till Jong years had passed.
' Salem was a city of about 2000 people then. There were
no transcontinental railroad connections. There were only a
few scattering dwellings east of Twelfth street, as shown by
the picture of the laying of the corner stone.
.There are very few business concerns now. doing business
here that were doing business then. The Ladd & Bush Bank
and The Statesman are two7 The Farmer hardware store and
the Lot L. Pierce machinery and implement house come down
directly from the R. M. Wade & Co. hardware amd implement
business that was then a going concern. The Cross meat
market ns the third generation removed from the Thomas
Cross meat business of those days. That is about all. There
are ions of men here in other lines, whose fathers and grand
fathers were then a part of Salem business life.
The Statesman Is pleased to present its historical section
this morning, in order to write into the record, or rather print
Into the record, some facts and scenes that ought to be pre
served, and that are interesting to the people of the present
day. The managers of this paper have in mind several other
matters of the same nature. There are some men in this sec
tion still living who are carrying facts of historical interest in
their minds that will soon be lost, unless the facts are re
corded in the next few years some facts that have national
bearings, and world significance.
t t jTno statesman proposes to do at least a small part in this
field, not for profit, excepting the profit coming from the sat
isfaction of performing useful services.
In this connection, The Statesman would be pleased to
have contributions concerning any. of the historical matters
touched upon in this issue, or any others of such interest as
will merit their publication.

It is understood that Japan Is
warmly in favor of reducing the
American army to 150,000 men.
Can you blame her?
, There appears to be a dearth of
cabinet material in a number of
European countries. Warren G.
Harding has a lot of waste ma
terial pn his hands. T
Poultry men may perk up.
There will be a new tariff law
in May, at the latest, and perhaps
in April, and it will put a crimp
if not j a kibosh on the importa
tion of Chinese hen fruit..
Hccn is the next slogan sub
ject. The fruit grower hare got
to keep bees, to be sure of get
ting crops. And this Is the best
tee country In the world, or can
be made so. '
South Africa stands true to the
British dominion, as a result' of
the recent balloting. Now David
Lloyd George only has Australia
tnd Ireland on his hands. He
twee n keeping one eye on Ireland
and another on South Africa, he
was developing strabismus.
TIIK.LOST UMPIRE.
The near-Socialists are making
a fine; mesa of Austria. They
seem incapable of putting their
country back in the producing
class.-' About all they can do' Is
to print more money and they
have Issued to much now that its
redemption is utterly impossible.
As a result the people will not ac
cept their own currency. A loaf
of bread may bring a hundred or
i thousand crowns, just as the
baker may feel about it. Every
month the American relief admin
istration is spending $500,000 to
reed Austrian children and this
will go on indefinitely. The peo
ple are making no practical or
substantial move to help them
selves.; Vienna, which was once
the gayest and brightest of Eu
ropean capitals. Is still a beauti
ful city with its miles of sub
stantial buildings, but it Is peo
pled by - parasites. There are
more officeholders and govern
ment employes than there were
when Austria was an empire of
sixty million souls. Austria must
develop a dictator with an itch
for economy or else pass through
the bankruptcy court Into the
hands of a receiver.
-I FIENDISH.
Fiends disguised as prohibition
agents robbed a Chicago widow of
2o ? gallons of whiskey. It was
practically l the booze she had
in the world and she) faces a
bleak and barren future without
any promise of moistdre for her
parched tongue Any man who
will disguise himself as a prohi
bitionist in order to filch the last
drop of whiskey from a lone wid
ow should be carrion for buz
zards. !.:..
'BLUE AND GRAY.
As a result of Mrs. Harding's
shopping adventures and experi
ences In New York it appears
that blue is the favorite color of
the first lady of the.Iand. She
acquired several one-piece dress
es in which the blue-was domi
nant and she had blue in hats and
wraps to match. Gray is ! her
next best bet. President Hard
ing is also strong for the bine
and the gray and a united Am
rrica. j This should make a har
monious family party.
A REAL MELLON.
Andrew Mellon of Pittsburgh,
to whom the political writers are
awarding the portfolio of secre
tary of the treasury, is said to
be the second richest man in Am
erica. ; Anr time th f r a an w-w
goes broke he will be In position
to dig in his roll and help out.
When they were cutting melons
this Mellon was getting ripe.

terests of the country.
The Oregon Growers Co-operative
association is in receipt of a
letter from R. S. Philips, treasur
er of the International Apple Ship
pers association, of Rochester, N.
W., In which he writes:
"You may be Interested to know
that we have always found Sena
tor McNary a very sympathetic
friend of the fruit industry. He
seems unusually well advised or
the conditions under which this
industry Is operated and has Inter
ested himself as much or more
than any other senator in seeing
that only legislation which would
be helpful to tho Industry ia enacted."

Painless Parker
and His Methods .
By Pettiest Pmrktr
I USE every method I can find
to improve everything I do.
If there is a new way to make
dentistry better. I adopt it I em
ploy every kind of advertising to
make the E. R. Parker System in
Dentistry known, and thus get
more and more people to have their teeth
cared for. I don't believe in hiding behind
the door, but do believe in coming out and
inviting people in.
It is a great privilege to be a dentist, for
be can prevent and relieve more sickness
than a physician." To remain silent when
you are able to do good is almost wicked.
The public is entitled to know what its
citizens can do, and I am glad to tell the
masses that I can supply them with fine
dentistry at prices they can afford to pay.
When you think of TEETH think of
