Carlson Confident prediction that Sal em would grow rapidly until it became a city of size and impor tance in the northwest was ex pressed by writers, 54 years ago, in commenting upon the extensive building operations ' then being carried on. "We now hear in every direc tion the constant buzz of the saw and sound of the hammer, in the hands of honest, hard-working mechanics, who are engaged in the foundries, saw mills, factori es, tanneries, and various other manufactories which have sprung into existence in the last few years," one report says. '"Judging from the past, one can estimate her importance in the future." Among the large manufactur ing establishments of those days were: R. C. Kinney and companyi flour mills, Willamette woolen mills. Capital Lumber company, Drake's foundry. Ellison's plow manufactory. Pioneer oil mill, and the J. Stahley chair factory. The court house had just been completed at a cost of $100,000, a "home for the sick" had 4 been erected on Capital, between State and Ferry .streets, the state capi tol was under construction, and a number of fine residences plan ned. Of the E. N. Cooke residenc er ected at Court and Summer streets the writer had this to say: "This elegant and spacious pri vate residence is without doubt the most magnificent building north. of San Francisco, and cost Hon. E. N. Cooke about $30,000. It is constructed according to the latest and" most fashionable style reach-iotarehItecture. and supplied with SII the modern, conveniences- for, ""health" and 'comfort."
