Vicinity The unparalleled progress the city of Salem has made in the past five years is well set forth in the October issue of Oregon Business, state chamber of commerce pub lication. It is designated the Marion county number. Articles written by Mayor T. A. LIvesley. Colonel W. B. Bertram, Robert C. Paulus. U. S. Page, and Ivan Stewart appear in the maga zine, each setting forth some par ticular phase of Salem's and Mar ion county's development. Mayor LIvesley summarises the advance the city has made in pop ulation; building, and calls par ticular attention to the improve ment program for more and bet ter bridges, sewers, and fire fighting equipment. "It is a pleasure to serve the people of Salem as mayor," writes Mayor Livesley, "because the city is riding on the wings of progress. Too conservative? I should say not." Colonel Bartram presents Sa lem's new industry, the linen man ufactories, in. an interesting arti cle. The fact that already Salem is able to compete successfully with large manufacturing plants in Belfast, Ireland, traditionally the home of good linen, is cited by the Colonel as good evidence that the Willamette valley fjx product is superior tu -quaiity to any manufactured elsewhere. l Favored by nature as one of the'-sreat fruit and berry districts of the northwest, and aided by the extremely low rate at which its canned goods may be delivered to the. millions of people on the At lantic coast and in Europe, Mar ion; county, declares Mr. Paulus, who is one of the outstanding can nery men of this section, is des tined to remain as the greatest canning center of the northwest. President Page, of the local chamber of commerce, reviews the farming and industrial advantages of the eounty, and Mr. Stewart takes up the same subject more in detail. The absence of waste land in the farming belt and the great areas of bottom and prairie land make Marion county farming easier than in any other county of the valley. Mr.: Stewart points out. Peppermint and nut growing advantages of the county are brief ly summarized in the issue.

Marion at present has no stage service whatever and the only trains stopping there are one go ing north at 4:36 a. m., and an other south at 7:00 p. m. People wishing to shop in Sa lem, and who do not possess au tomobiles are finding this sched ule most inconvenient as it re quires ilnusually early rising and the use of ah entire day's time. Stages do not operate through Marion because the roads are un payed. The- coast special, known as the "Fifteen oflar" train, because of its low rate between Portland and San Francisco, makes three trips weekly, going south at 1:35 p. m., and north at 11:43 a. m.
