PHOXK IOI8-M Liberty Street - . flEW SUB-DIVISION OPENED BY MILLS Tract Is' Located in Heart of City and Has Many ? Bright Prospects J. A. Mills the realtor at 3311. State street has taken a contract to sell a new subdivision right. in the heart of the city of Salem. This tract of land contains some 5 or 6 acres and is situated on North Liberty and Broadway and is the old Mill site where many years ago stood the first woolen mill that Salem ever had, and also a flour mill. These have long since vanished and the land now belongs to the Oregon Pulp and Paper company of Salem of which C. F. Beyerl is the very success ful manager. ? It is. a regret in the mind of Mr. Mills that this piece of pro perty could not be covered with another industry or industries that could or would mean . as much to the city of Salem as does the Oregon Pulp and Paper com pany, with its 300 employees and its payroll running around 1100, 000 per month. There Js another regret that If industries could not have this property, that it could not be made into a playground, with its natural amphitheater. Its won derful opportunity for swimming pool and ball park, tennis courts and for athletics in general. It is truly regretable that a centrally located property like this 4s could not be made into something of value to the public. "Reminiscencing again. On this piece of ground and in fie early woolen mill, worked Thomas Burrows.: In 1864," Mr Mills said "he came here as a young man from San Francisco a spinner broke as you might say from the fact that United States money was very much depreciated. It took a 100 in bills to get $40 in real honest to goodness money. He came by ship to Portland and then up the valley to Salem. Mr. Burrows has made Salem his home since 1864, has seen the city grow from cow paths to a beautiful place with paved streets lovely parks, artistic homes and wonderful business opportunities, fm sure Mr. Burrows, as he wan ders past, the place where he first worked in Salem, feels and thinks of the past which never ' comes back, with a tender memory." "And now this spot is to be broken up and made the homes of our ever increasing population. Salem cannot stand still she is moving on and on' with greater and faster development than she did in the years betwee 1864 and 1924." If anyone is interested in a half acre tract in the heart of Salem, call : upon Mr. Mills and he will gladly show you this new sub division.: ' . , , I Building on Pacific Coast .

E ON Mil BUILDINGS Properties Begun Earlier in the Year Rapidly Neanng Completion Expensive pioperties that were started in Salem earlier j in the year are fast nearing completion and the first of the month will see nearly-all of these practically completed. In the increase of new buildings in the city there has been no more . change than along Ferry street, once little better thanj a high class alley which is being changed into a good business street. . " - :' - ' . Beginning at Ferry and High, sidewalks have been ; placed around the Frank Hughes' estate property, " a , modern two-story brick building occupying a quar ter of a block.5 The lower floor will be devoted to store j spaces while the entire . upper portion is to be occupied by the New Salem Hotel, of Which T. G. Bligh is proprietor.. It will probably be a. month before this is ready, as finishing touches are now being given to the main building. Coming- west on Ferry j to.v the next, corner is the. Otto Klett natatorium and dance pavillion. t modern two-storo concrete build ing. Work on this is progress ing rapidly and a few more weeks will see it practically completed. On the corner to the north is the Eckerlin building, smaller than the' others, but of concrete construction- and two stories and basement. Glass has been placed and the building is nearly ready for occupancy. Just south and adjoining the Klett property is the new Pohle warehouse to re place tbe wooden structure recen tly destroyed by fire. Work is now well under way, but it will be some time before the owners can use the building. Changing locations a little, at Chemeketa and Cottage is the new Rigdon mortuary, one of the most complete buildings of its kind to be found .along the coast. It is of . concrete and stucco . finish. Work on this is progressing and the building la! well along toward receiving its finishing touch and will soon be ready for the instal lation of fixtures. At Cottage and North" Liberty rapid progress is being made on the new Chris- tian Science church. While the building is considered an addition practically all of it is new and modern construction, only a por tion of the building being retain ed 'tor sentimental purposes. This has been cleverly worked into the new building. . Progress on the T. A. Livesley home, the structure alone costing $65,000 with additional thousands of dollars necessary to. produce the desired landscape effect, ; is continuing ' and the mansion can easily be called the finest in the Willamette valley outside of Port land. - .
