At a meeting of the District Boundary board held in Salem April 12, the Jefferson district was granted, during 1929-30 the following: Permission to run a route into the Marlon district as far north as the Marlon-Stayton road inter section with the Turner-Jefferson city water supply Consolidations go on apace with no end in sight. Just when our greatest bank merger In New York City is off the front page comes the sale of the Pantages theatres at a price of $14,000,000 to the Radio-Keith-Orpheum corporation. Auto chains, bank chains, store mergers.iuge groupings of theatre Interests; the day of larger and larger enterprise Is at hand. As individnal ownership has waned, ownership of corporation stock has grown apace. Take the case of the General Motors corporation. This concern is now the company with million aire executives. A block of stock was purchased for a group of ma jor executives by means of setting aside for their bonus five per cent of the net profits of the corpora tion. So large have been the prof its and so rapid the appreciation of the stock because of that fact, that at least one hundred execu tives of the corporation are mil lionaires. Qflod business Judgment con sists as much in holding a good property once obtained as in see ing the opportunity and making the purchase. Some men always depreciate and grow fearful of the values ot the thing they possess. A Salem man bought a house and lot, thinking to have a sound in vestment for interest purposes with a reasonable certainty that an Increased unearned increment would be his. Now the property is In his name and he has owned it twe months. The picture has changed. Instead of gain he for. sees loss and he Is willing to un load, and anxious. Have faith in Salem. The city is growing in the next decade even more than in the past. Well located property is a safe Investment. Faith In Salem will make It more so. Without expressing Its opinion for the time being, the Statesman foresees much argument for and against the Marion lake develop ing in the North Santiam district. Development of the lake for power purposes as Is now proposed by the petition of the Northwest Pow er Co. will mean an expenditure variously estimated at from $2. 000.000 to $6,000,000. It will mean new roads built Into the district. It will mean more men employed. Salem's objection con tained in the protest of City At torney Williams is that prior rights are held by the municipality and that these should be retained for eventual use, as a source of Some day the be made that Salem could utilize the water without cost if at a fu ture a supply was needed. Run ning a pipe line four to six miles from the lake to a power project would carry the water just that much nearer Salem. Right to con. tlnue on to the valley for munic ipal use should not be interf erred with. It seems feasible that the city could have its cake and eat It. Now the lumber dealers of the valley are adding another organ ization jto the rapidly growing number'of associations. Institutes and cooperatives which look on the business horizon. The Lumber Dealers' institute it is called and from the aims stated at the first meeting, better credit information exchange. Increased fellowship be tween dealers, furtherance of the tise of wood products thes6 are some ot the objectives of the asso ciation. Each aim is worthwhile; and we predict for the association a i-uccessful future. Every iitd'i? try is learning that there if a lib eral education available In obtain ing1 the other man's and utilizing it. experience DOUGLAS TO LEAVE FOR QMITU QUflPT!

UNTIL April 23, 1887, physicians and sur geons worked in the dark on appendi citis cases. On this date, however, the first successful operation was recorded! What a victory! Time and skill patience and study contributed to the final success! Special ization and concentration had made another important contribution to the general wel fare of Humanity. Banks, too, are continually studying with a view to contributing to the welfare of the community. Newer forms of bank service are offered to the public as rapidly as they are perfected. For example, one of these services has enabled American manufactur ers to materially increase their opportunities for foreign trade, which has indirectly re sulted in giving employment to additional thousands of men and women. This is but one of several ways in which we have endeavored to serve individuals and worthy business enterprises.
