Shatter All Records
During Present Year
Comparison ot building activi
ties in Salem over the last three
years, month by month, has been
made by the Chamber of Com
merce and leaves no doubt as to
the steady growth of Salem. April
of this' year was the heaviest, with
total permits amounting to $365,
300 being issued by Marten Poul
sen, city recorder. February broke
all records for that month, when
a total of $275,450 worth of per
mits were taken out. The best
month of the two preceding years
was April,. 1923, when permits ag
gregated $235,325 were issued.
Building activities for the first
seven months of 1924 are almost
equal the totals of the two pre
ceding years. For the first seven
months ot this year a total of $1,
240,200 worth of new buildings,
including business blocks and al
terations and "repairs, were begun.
The total for'the 1923 building
permits was $1,299,821 and those
for 1922 were $1,128,340.
Of the total permits issued from
January 1 to July 31 inclusive.
172 were for new homes and it is
tstimat?d that by the time Decem
ber 31 rolls around the total. Qr
the year will be close to 250 new
homes at a total cost' of an even
million dollars. With the $175,-
000 permit for the new Elks' tem
ple, the; excavating for which is
nearly completed, and with other
buildings under construction, it is
(estimated that the total for the
year should reach $2,000,000 or
more. ' i. . .; , . .
1 ' Huilding permits, by months,
for the I lasf two years and this
year through July, are as follows;

Unusual : Interest Being
Shown in Opportunity to
j Show at State Fair
. Njt in the least discouraged by
the dry'weather that has prevailed
during the summer, county-agents
throughout the state have demon
strated an eagerness to ship ex
hibits to the! forthcoming state
fair,1 which opens in Salem, Sep
tember 22. And to an individual
all express the opinion that their
county's display will be equal to
any ; that has been made during
years past, when weather condi
tiong have been more favorable to
crops. - ; n ' '
Mrs. Ella Schultz Wilson, sec
retary to the state fair board, and
William Schnmerich, of Hillsboro,
superintendent' of the agricultural
department, are .very optimistic
over! the outlook for a splendid ex
hibit. The following counties have
already sent in applications for
space, and it is expected that in
the (next fortnight a number of
others will come in: Washington,
Jackson, Linn, Douglas, Coos, Col
umbia, Marion, Clackamas, Ben
ton, jWasco and Tillamook. 1
Canada will ship a big and"com
prehensive exhibit, and there will
be numerous individual exhibits
of farm products. The Oregon

Is probable that a number of the

HERBERT HOOVE&
E8NST T. TJ2GG
A committee appointed by. Her
bert Hoover, Secretary oi Com
tmerce and Chairman of the Con
f erence ; on Unemployment, and
'headed by Ernest T. Trigg, of
: Philadelphia, has just made public
..the result of its investigations of
i seasonal operations in the con
struction industries. :
I In summarizing its . findings the
committee places the value- of
'.yearly construction $n the United
States at "more than $5,000,000,
000, while the number of employees
jand independent workers engaged
in construction", together" with . the
workersof the material-producing
industries, mounts into the mil
lions." :';
. "Activity in construction, bears a
.close relation to general industrial
jconditions," the committee, finds.
,'If building falls off, there is bound
to be slackening in . many pther
lines - of,' industry resulting in un
employment,, decreased purchasing
"power of employees, and further
deptamTjT ," ' "- '
Seasonal - Tips and down" of the
construction industries are' found
to be "undoubtedly ; preventable."
."Custom, not climate, is mainly
responsible for seasonal idleness"
i in., the building trades and "con
trary to popular belief, bad weath
er is not the principal cause of
; variations , in employment from
month to month. In making its
survey, the committee found that
seasonal idleness in the building
trades . is not confined to regions
where the climate is severe, but
mat -ones in me outn and on
; : .. . t
the Pacific Coast areaffected much
like those on the Canadian border."
It is ; a general rule, the report
states, "that the building tsades
are occupied wholly only three to
five months in the year, nd prac
tically all the Cities studied show
a larg percentage of idleness in
these trades not only from Decem
ber tb March, but in'other months
as well. -i -J ". .
"'-"Construction! costs are high in
part ! because of 1 the seasonal in
dustrial hazard which affects eadh
step ! of the construction process.
Idle time represents waste and di
rect losses to the construction in
dustries, the workers and the pub
lic." : ..; .: . . . ,
The committee recommends fore
thought in planning new construc
tion and repair work; "Practically
any owner," it asserts, "can now
fird out how to schedule his build
ing or repairs to take advantage
of .the time when competent work
ers will probably' be. available and
whenj the contractor will not have
to'-reisort to 'snowballing to ob
tain ivaxkers, , - v; . J;
. "Wiith due . ! precautions' and
proper equipment, nearly "all ' con
sjrpcjion. work can be carried on
in' winter and at no great differ-
ence in cost", the committee has,
deterinined. Labor, in general,
is'mre efficient,; as skilled work
men an be more easily obtained.
The (cost; in .' winter, especially
under first-class' management, may
be 'actually' less', than the cost at
otberj seao - ...
t Entries in the agricbltitral de
partment close the day before the
fair opens. In order that a more
pleasing display may: be insured
counties have been divided into
six groups as follows: The first
or Coast district to comprise Clat
sop, Tillamook, Coos Curry and
Lincoln; the second or Willamette
valley district, to comprise Hood
River, Columbia, Multnomah,
Clackamas, Washington, Yamhill,
Polk, Lane, Linn, Benton and Mar
ion; the third or southern Oregon
district, Douglas, Josephine and
Jackson; the' fourth or Columbia
basin district, to cbmprise Wasco,
Sherman, Gilliam, Morrow, Uma
tilla and Jefferson; the fifth or
central Oregon district to comprise
Klamath, Lake Harney, Malheur,
Crook and Deschutes; , the sixth or
Blue mountain district to comprise
Wallowa,1 Grant, .Union, 'Wheeler,
and Baker. " I i
Every county scoring 66 points
will be awarded $.100 in cash and
all first premiums of any group
of entries will be automatically en
tered in the sweepstakes for. that
group. The judges j will all be
chosen from Oregon Agricultural
college. -5 , ) I
Adding to the beauty of the
agricultural and horticultural ex
hibits in the big agricultural pavil
ion will be the floral display, un
der the superintendency of Tommy
Luke of Portland; Who last year
made of his department one of the
most beautiful and inspiring of all
on the entire grounds.- Accord
ing to his plans the display this
year will be much larger and
finer than last year3 with more
space taken by professional florists-
Competition will be exceed
ingly keen, with a number of new
classes added tb arouse interest.
