FINE HEW OFFICE
Manager Allen Hopes for a
Good Fruit Year and a Busy
Canning Season
A fine new office building is be
ing erected at the Salem canning
plant of the Hunt Bros, company
on North Front street. The struc
ture is to have two stories, the
second floor containing the main
offices, and the size is 50 by 40
feet. On the" first floor will be
sample rooms and other conveni
ences connected with the business.
As W. G. Allen, in charge here,
Is the district manager for the
northwest, with a cannery in Al
bany and several plants in west
ern Washington, a good deal of
the office work is done in Salem,
and the office room has become
cramped and inadequate. The
new building will be conveniently
arranged for the far flung oper
ations of the big concern, having
1929. While he does not claim
present office space will be used
for fruit handling conveniences.
Hopes For Good Season
Manager Allen hopes for a good
canning and packing season for
was the rule throughout the cher
to be a prophet or the seventh or
other son of a prophet, he hopes
for good fruit and vegetable crops.
He says some fears have been.
expressed for the cherry crop, the
trees being now In bloom on the
lower levels, though little blos
soming has shown up in the hills.
But Mr. Allen recalls the fact that
werse weather than we have been
experiencing the past few days
ry blooming season last year In
blooming season last year In
tact, about the" most rainy ever.
Great fears were then expressed
for the cherry crop but a big
supply was harvested. The cherry
tonnage was large for most of the
territory known asAthe Salem dis
trict. Mr. Allen, while averse to being
quoted by newspaper reporters,
fearing for misquotations or mis
understandings by the growers,
will probably not object to being
credited with some anxious mo
ments along about the present
time over the forthcoming logan
berry crop. Not as to the size of
it. Rather as to what is to be
come of the loganberries grown
this year. He does not know now
what the cannery people are going
to do with all the loganberries.
He can only have hopes for
some favorable outlet. It will be
recalled that be did a lot of ex
perimenting last year with logan
berries in the cold pack, in barrels
and tins and cartons; especially
the cartons. He found that the
loganberry holds its texture, fla
vor and aroma better in the cold
pack process than any of our
berries.
That may be the way out. He
hopes something will urn up to
prevent the possibility of the lo
ganberries, or a considerable ton
nage of them, remaining on the
vines.

Made to Circular of 1875
Leo N. Childs Discovers Pamphlet of Jones &
Patterson Telling Conditions
In Oregon
BY GENEVIEVE MORGAN
Fifty-four years can do a plenty
to a man; and no less to a town.
or a Talley. In 1875 George H
Jones and J. M. Patterson, gen
eral land agents with headquar
ters in the commercial; hotel
building in Salem, Issued a cir
cular and weather record "to en
able us to more easily answer our
numerous correspondents relative
to this portion of the state." A
copy of that bulletin has just come
to light in the office of Leo W.
Childs Realty company and shows
some interesting backward peeps
For instance: "Good farm lands
in the Willamette valley can be
purchased from $500 to $2,500
per acre, according to improve
ments and locality; good farm
lands on Salem Prairie with tim
ber and prairie combined, and
well improved, three to five miles
from Salem, can be had at 130
to 40 per acre."
Prunes Not a Drug
Prunes weren't such a drug 64
years ago; at least they aren't
mentioned In the variety of
fruits. Says the advertising me
dium: "the valley has already
been noted for big red apples,
and apples have been produced at
so small an expense; peaches
grow well In some localities, but
the Willamette valley cannot be
called a good country for peach
es; plum, pear and cherry crops
are superior, fruitful and large,
meaty and free from Insects and
disease; strawberries are native;
currants, blackberries, raspberries
gooseberries all produce well."
And this! The state of Oregon
is probably the best watered of
any state in the union! Only the
following lines tell of, the numer
ous streams and springs.
The Oregon and California rail
road was "just being completed
from Portland south on the east
side of the river to Roseburg,"
and "another railroad was in
course construction on the west
side of the Willamette commenc
ing at Portland and running
south to connect with the east
side at some point in the upper
end of the valley." And how was
traveling done? This tells most
of the tale:
Willamette Navigable
The Willamette river is naviga
ble for ocean steamers and vessels
to Portland; 110 miles from As
toria; for for river steamers, 150
milts by river course half the
year and 75 miles the entire year.
The falls of t h e Willamette at
Oregon City have been locked at
an expense of 1600,000 and now
pass any boat that can run the
upper river. The time to travel
from Salem to Sacramento, Calif.,
by land or sea is about three and
one-half days, with fare by land
45 and by steamer $15 to $30."
The real estate men pointed,
not without pride It is supposed,
to the natural roads of Oregon,
which "are good, the country be
ing open and rolling, the ground
seldom freezing, out roads are al
ways in passable condition for
marketing products from the
farm."
Those were the days before
state aid for the schools of Ore
gon, as recalled from the section
which describes the common
school system ot Oregon as much
better than in many of the older
states. State aid, it points out, will
be. when made available, nearly
sufficient to support free schools.

ple of what farmers were getting:
Oats, 60 cerits; potatoes, 60 cents;

The city of Salem, as seen
through the eyes of promoters
more than half a century ago, pre
sented the following, as told In
their own words:
Population Here 5,000
"The city of Salem is built up
on a beautiful prairie, having a
gentle incline to the river and a
population of 6.000 persons; has
a university, a fine structure cost
ing $45,000 with $60,000 endow
ment fund, and campus grounds
of 30 acres and an average daily
attendance of 250 students. The
Catholics have just completed a
new school building of brick, an
elegant structure costing $60,000;
there are five other public schools,
wooden- structures, with ample
proportions, where free schools
sre maintained the entire year."
A good many ot the present-
day industries had their begin
nings years ago as shown In:
"One woolen factory run by
water, manufacturing 300,0.00
yards of cloth and 2,500 pairs of
blankets annually; one merchant
flouring mill run by water with
a capacity of COO barrels ol flour
per day. . . also one custom
mill run by steam; two large lum
bering mills, one linseed oil mill,
capacity 125,000 gallons annual
ly, sash and door factory run by
water and one run by steam; one
furniture and one chair factory;
one foundry and two machine
shops; plow factory; two wagon
makers shops; agricultural works
of brick 60 by 166 feet, three stor
ies and basement nearly ready to
commence operations, built at a
cost of about $100,000; court
house of brick cost about $90,
000; besides the state buildings."

Mt. Angel, have -filed application

Albany Not Warm to Plan
To Develop Marion Lake;
All Sides of Plan Probed
Arguments pro and con the pro
posed hydro-elecrric development
of the Marlon Lake region were
presented to about 50 Albany men
representing the chamber of com
merce, the city council and the
Linn county court Thursday night
by J. G. Kelley, representing the
Northwest Power Co. applicants
for a preliminary permit before
the federal power commission and
the state authorities, on the one
hand, and Frank C. Stellmacher.
representing the Santlam Fish &
Game Protective association and
opposing the development, on the
other.
- The meeting took no action, as
was expected, for it bad been call
ed to hear the discussion of both
sides of the question, although the
purpose of Mr. Kelley's visit here
was to remove the opposition to
his company's project that had
been, expressed recently by the
Albany city council.
To Let Matter Lie-
The upset of the meeting prob
ably will be that Albany will let
the matter lie in its present sta
tus until it Is presented to :he fed
eral and state power coir Js3ions.
In presenting his company's
case, Mr. Kelley covered much of
the same ground that he took in
his argument to, the Albany charr
ber of commerce directors several
nights ago, an account of which
has already been given in this pi
per. Briefly, the Northwest Power
company plans to build two hydro
electric units, one with a 43,000
horsepower, styled the lower unit,
power, to be located not far from
power, to be locatde not far from
the lake. The cost of the larger
