MORE FACTORIES
The Prun-Port factory is to begin operations in Salem in
the next, three weeks ,
: " Giving a marketing outlet for some of our Italian prunes
and their by-products, the small prunes and culls ; and provid
ing for working up their by-products, the pits and the kernels
and the pulp. V "
: Started in a modest way, and backed by local capital, the
possibilities of this concern are almost beyond measure. One
may visualize, from modest and conservative beginnings, the
use 6t a vast tonnage of our prunes, and the making of for
tunes from small investments. The field is open, and it is
immense 4
As wide as the United States; as wide as the world.
Salem is doing very well in getting new factories, and in
increasing the size of old ones
And the opportunities in this line are great.
The factories we should encourage most are the ones that
will work up the raw products of our land. There are liter
ally 'hundreds of such opportunities. These are the kind of
factories that will bring new money ever year ; that will put
distant places contributing to the growth and prosperity and
increase of values here.
GETTING NEW PEOPLE ON THE LAND
"Walnut and filbert growing in Oregon presents a strong appeal
to well-to-do- Illinois farmers. ' That is the conclusion of W". G. Ide,
manager of the land settlement activities of the State' and Portland
Chambers of Commerce from some of his recent correspondence.
"With $20,000 to invest in a first class walnut and filbert farm,
Eugene Iloyt, an Illinois man, awaits but the selection of a place
suitable and rightly priced before making the trip to Oregon where
he has decided he will make his home.
"The spring of 1927 will see in Oregon another prospective nut
grower from Illinois, A. L. MacLeod, who desires to invest also up to
120,000 in a farm on which he can raise Jerseys or Guernseys in
addition to outs and poultry.
"New York, South Dakota and Oklahoma promise to be the sources,
of wrerai fblies; of settlers now arranging toycome ia groups to
farms in Oregon concerning which they have been corresponding with
the department.
"To these groups the lists of appraised farms compiled by county
t committees are being forwarded. Typical of the appreciative replies
being received by Mr. Ide. is a letter from James A. Walker.'of Long
Island, New York, who says: 'The course you have taken in seeing
that newcomers do get every assistance from your various chambers
ot, commerce has made. a hit with every one I talk to.' Mr. Walker
expects to be accompanied to Oregon by several families of independ
ent means. - Of the department he says further: 'You have a number
of friends in this locality who have visited Oregon and all speak well
of It'
"A delegation of five families who are coming to Oregon about
the first week In January from Oklahoma have found a special appeal
In the cut-over lands of Columbia county where they have selected
for examination two tracts of 160 acres each.
' "Service of the department' is not confined, however, to finding
suitable locations for farmers. Not unusual is a request such as that
Just received from an Oak Park, Illinois, business man who intends
within the next year to retire and establish a new home in Oregon.
fle seeks a plot of ground on which to build an attractive home and
develop a beautiful garden. Early next summer will bring this man
on a" scouting trip to find the location he desires. 'Because of
relatives in southern Oregon, and because everyone to whom I talk is
enthusiastic. about the stafe, I am inclined to favor Oregon for my
playground, he says in making inquiry about the principal towns of
Oregon. v
"Oregon's growing fame throughout the east and middle west,
fostered by the advertising carried on by the railroads, the Oregon
Development fund and other cooperating agencies, brings increasing
numbers of inquiries for service to homeseekers, both business men
and farmers. That they are given In this way reliable information
concerning all sections of the state is repeatedly the occasion for
appreciative comment from the newcomers."
The above is in full a circular of the land settlement
department of the Portland Chamber of Commerce and the
Oregon State Chamber of Commerce
V A report of progress.
' That' is the kind of work that gives visible, concrete
' results. It is the kind the people of Oregon generally should
appreciate; especially because of the fact that the expense is
largely, borne by the business people of Portland. They realize
that they must build up a back country in order to make
possible a large city and a prosperous one.
Their f und made it possible to have flax pulling machines
in the Salem district, which were necessary to save the crop.
, The'money was paid back ; but it came at a time of absolute
.need.. ? : '
There can be nothing more beneficial to the state as a
whole, including the well being; of Oregon cities and towns,
than the development of our industries on the land .
For, after all, everything goes back to the land for its
foundation r everything that makes prosperity possible, or
even life itself. , I .

CHAPTER FORTY
"Because ray hair's really red,"
said Piggy glibly, "an Mrs. Smith

-lon't want to lose my job. You
won't print it, will you?" The
reporter promised, laughing, and
Piggy went on: "Say, can't you
call off them other guys? Honest,
we can't tell you a thing about
this girl that's run away or been
stole Vor something. It we could,
w would. ' She ain't nothin' to us
in' we ain't got nothin to hide.
But it's just about killed her to
be dragged into it this way. I'm
worried about her- honest, I am."
The reporter, who was attached
t one of the more dignified met
ropolitan dailies, conceded that it
was unjust to subject a lady to
publicity In any affair with which
he had had no actual connection.
He promised to deal gently wJth
her himself, pending possible lat
er developments, and to exhort his
conferees to do likewise, and he
kept his word. Full accounts of
the futile searching of Mrs.
Smith's premises appeared the
following morning in certain pa
pers, with descriptions of the
house, the car, the prostrated
widow and her servants, but with
out underlying insistence upon
her complicity in the abduction
partly because, before these re
ports were written, a new clue
Lad been presented.
Rumors of a high-powered auto
mobile whizzing without lights
over the road via Valldu to Keene,
n the night of Celia's disappear
ance, were strengthened by an im
aginative farmer living several
miles north of Keen, on the high
way to Newport and the Canadian
border. This person was very cer
tain that he had heard the fugi
tives pass his place at a death-defying
speed in the small hours,
vhich again directed suspicion to
v ard Nixon, who had neglected to
warn officers along that route. A
flying squad of reporters detach
ed themselves from the main body
to follow this trail, and the mys
tery car superseded the widow in
public interest. ,t -.
Piggy was still mopping cold
perspiration from his brow when
ht' related his experience with the
reporter to Roberta and Ceiia. ;
"Golly, that- was a narrow
soueak!" he concluded. "I thought
he had me, for a minute'
"Not you, Peter," Roberta said,
laughing. "I'd have collapsed on
the spot and confessed all. How
on earth do you think so fast?"
"Natural born liar, I guess,"
he grinned at her over his shoul
der as he went to his room.
"He's a natural born paladin!"
Celia e'xclaimed. frankly, and en
thusiastically sentimental., "Rob
erta, doesn't he make you think of
a knight of old? You know rid
ing around the country champion
ing imprisoned princess and
breaking spells and slayin drag
ons that sort of thing?"
"H'm well I hadn't thought
of it." was the mendacious Teply.
But she had thought of it, for dur
ing long hours of comradely dis
course Piggy unwittingly had
made his underlying ideals clear
to her. .;,.",.
Afterward, retailing his latest
adventure to Janet in the kitchen,

Roberta came out of her revery

loath to have another perceive.
"It's nothing to be ashamed

I Bit For Breakfast
Adieu, 1926
It has been a good year- -
: v "u
Rut Salem will have a better
one in 1927.
: s
, There are factories in sight, and
just around the corner, and in
creases in forces of factories al
ready here, that will make room
for an .extra 1000 men. Counting
five to, the family, that will mean
SCO more people in Salem. And
with the additional people in the
way of teachers and preachers and
other professional men, and the
butcher, baker and candlestick
maker, this will mean 5000 more.
In other words, we will add 10.
000 to our poputatlon in the next
year or two.
s
And many other manufacturing
concerns aias coming. We are only
just starting.
: :
Think what this is going to
mean in the building of new
dwelling houses and stores and
shops, and the increases in value
of real estate, in the residence dis
tricts, in the business
and In the suburbs.
sections.
S
On top of all this. If we will get
busy and secure a beet sugar fac
tory, we will lay the foundations
for at least another 10,000 people
in this city, backed by that many
additional people on the land
These increases in population
here furnish one of the strongest
arguments for Salem buying the
water works and having a forward
look for the city that is to be. We
must look forward to a city of
50,000, and plan accordingly. And
When we get 50,000, the next 50.
000 will come as a matter of
course, in larger developments of
the enterprises already starred,
and in new ones that will come
