Such a num ber ont of a total population of less than 1,000 points to this as a highly Indastrlons community. That is. of course, when we 'are all working. Or perhaps Mr. Gram has la Idea that all the unemployed In the state are flocking: to Bend because of our ealubrious and invigorating winter climate. There is a rood . deal In the thought that it yon must loaf It is well to 'select a pleasant place- la which to do so. And we admit that there Is none -more pleasant than this spot on the Deschates. But we must Insist that neither of Mr. Gram's possible conclusions is correct. Even when business is on the hum there are no 1,041 persona employed - here. The unemployed, when it is on the frits, i are leas than 600. Mr. Gram's adding machine needs oyer nan ling." Bend ; Bulletin, 1 PerhaDs it was the filin out of 700; but the instance does indicate the unreliability cf many of the figures on unemployment. Nobody really knows Just-how much unemployment there i is, and how much more serious it is this ten. From our own observation employment in saiem is as pronounced as-some people seem to fear. If we check on local industry we find that most plants are operatinj? at normal loads. The paper mill, the converting; company, thg linen plant are all busy, with approximately normal complements of men; The lumber mill is worKing; only part time, but it is the only large industry running with marked reduction in force. . -. - A . . j . a In the field of construction work there. is nearly as much work in progress now in Salem as a year ago at this time. In 1929 there were some big jobs of building in Salem, but the biggest were let to Portland contractors with Port land labor employed. At present one large church is under construction and a store building downtown. Smaller build ing and repair jobs are going on over the city, though ad mittedly in reduced volume. j 1 Another thing about Salem: a large proportion of the population has suffered no cut in income at all. Employes of the state house, the court house; the state institutions, of the schools and the university have the same or higher wages than a year ago and are enjoying greater purchasing power for their money. . ' V There is even some ray of optimism in the farm situ ation. The grain farmers had wonderful crops produced at the lowest cost in years. Dairymen have the advantage of abundant feed crops and low prices for millf eed, with a fairly remunerative price f or butterf at. Hogs and cattle are bringing fair prices.-The price of hops .is putting new life in the hop industry. The report is that the short packs of fruits and small quantity of dried prunes processed in 1330 will be pretty well disposed of by spring. This will mean promise of fair prices in 1931. In turn these good condi tions will stimulate the normal employment of labor in the early spring in hop yards, berry, patches, orchards. Salem has this further son of bad weather is very in midwinter outdoor work may be carried on throughout the year. In more rigorous climates' work must be suspended from mid-October or early November not' to be resumed un til April. We do not relate all these facts in order to' minimize any actual need or distress warn against exaggerating reports of conditions. The Amer ican people are remarkably resourceful; and there is no stimulant like hunger to get people employed. Necessity will force a man to locate a not easv. - This prosperity recital is not intended to make us self satisfied, sleek Pharisees who rejoice that we are not poor like other people in other places; but merely an effort toJ have our people face the facts. There are some highly favorable facts in our present situation, as well as some not so favorable. We need not Ignore need, neither do we need to become panicky. v Wrecking the Health Work J TfjEEWEE politics was the JL budget committee to cut C2000. It Is significant that through without a single slice. Some -intangible and un known things like city hall repairs were cut, but the allow ances for police, fire department . and streets were-not touched. "v."'" '"".V. ' The health unit already faces a cut-of 412,000 through Withdrawal of support from the Commonwealth fund. If now the school district and the county follow the lead of the city there will be a further reduction of $6,000. In oth er words retrenchment will begin and end - with the health unit " . ' The assertion that Salem bears too heavy a share of the cost scarcely stands when Dr. Douglas stated that Sa lem received in services exactly as it contributed twenty seven fortieths of the full amount. If there were a sincere desire to turn the j whole work over to the county, then in quiry, should have been- made of County Judge Siegmund who was in the room, if the county would take over the work. Or the full allowance might have been stricken out. The budget of the health unit the past year was $42 85. If the taxing bodies appropriate the same as last year the budget would be only $30,000 becauss of tha withdrawal of the Commonwealth fund. Now if a cut is made of $6000 -the total will be only $24,000 less than 0 of the amount of last year.. That simply, is wrecking the health unit or ganization and endangering its entire work. . Which is what the political vjrecking crew seems to want. i . -1 Senator Ooyd T. Reynolds THE county and state have suffered a severe loss in the death of Lloyd T.

E. DUNXHOmf Milk shed fa the term used to designate the territory la. which mine la produced; lor marketing as bottled milk la any -cltr. Tha 8alem milk shed embraces tarta er tnree eowxuea, aiartoa. - Polk, and Yamhill, and takes ta am area with approxlmatelw a SO-mlls) ra dius all around Salem. Those of onr uhi?prs who art furthest out are located near Dayton, near WIl lamina. as tar north ta Marlon county as- Hubbard, as tar east. as Mt. Asgel and Snrertoa and - as tar soath at Marion and Jefferson, ; There are orer 118 different tarms located on this- milk abed, with, aa average, of nine cows to the - herd.' Salem - uses the entire output of these dairies, amounting to orer 1200 gallons per day. which IS just, about one-tenth of that consumed bx Portland. - The' dairies which hare quali fied for the grade "B" designation at present number 98, and there Is considerable Interest on the 'part of the other dairymen la cringlnR an their grade. ' About 10 per cent of these grade "B" shippers haTe aa few as four cows, and our larg est herd of the milk shed is 120 milk In j? cows. There are two of the herds that haTe more than 50 cows, but otherwise the herds are comparatively small. Milk from most of the farms is brought in by trucks sent out by the different mux: slants to col lect the milk Immediately after the morning milking. Some of the dairymen bring in their own prod uct aa soon as the morning milk ing ta finished, and Just 1 time for ' the pasteurisation process. These men go oyer all sorts of roads la all kinds of weather to pick up this milk for Salem. One man with 10. farms to stop at brings in a load of about three tons of mllr. The raw milk dairies usually produce some, .if not all, of the milk which they market as : bot tled milk, we hare twenty farms which contribute to the Grade "A" raw supply of milk. -The raw' milk dairies are supplying at the present - time about 15 of -the needs of Salem," and the pasteurized dairies are supply ing the remaining 85. This figure Is. of course, subject to fluctuation, depending upon var ious conditions.- There. are fire plant distributors who. pasteurize milk for sale In Salem, three of which are. located within th. city limits, one at Shaw and one at Hubbard. , In the winter time most of the dairies deliver the milk in the day time, but In the summer time, due to the warm weather, ; they change to night - deUrery, which permits the . milk to be delivered at a lower tempera ture:' SO degrees Is the' limit of temperature tor the milk to at tain if it is to be labeled Grade A and It must - not go above this temperature before delivery to the consumer. At this temper ature the bacteria-are practically Inactive, and therefore, the milk does not sour so quickly. Although the Salem milk abed Is .extensive and covers a number of different kinds ' of country, each farm producing milk Is vis ited and is under the same super vision: by the Health Unit at Salem. This is necessary to as sure the Quality of the milk and to make sure that bo contamin ating Influences are at work at the source of production. Par ticular ' attention la paid to the health of the cow. and the meth ods of handling the milk. These things will be gone Into la great er detail In another article. The Aims of Sanitary Milk - -' Control t ' : r -Milk Inspection - has been a comparatively recent ; develop ment of the health prorrams In different communities.; Prior to 1901 there were practically no milk ordinances containing -reg ulations from' a : health stand point. There were some that spe cifically prohibited adding pre servatives or water to milk, and prescribing fines ; for skimming milk and selling it as whole milk. Howerer, there was no at tention given to the ) healthfuJ ness the cleanliness, or the pur ity from a baeterlal standpoint of the milk. Naturally, prior to uus ume the enforcing officers were concerned more with seeing to. it that the milk was neither skimmed nor watered, and , with seeing that there were no pre servatives added. This eould be determined r by means of tests and the health officer was really a policeman seeing that these things were sot done, seeing that measures to atop the - practice were .taken. -., - v A similar attitude was" assum ed following this period when It was prescribed that milk should have no sediment, should test a certain per cent of ' tt. and should have a bacterial count within certain limits. ; The next provisions were those relating to the conditions under, which milk was produced, and .relating, to the health of the cows. For a time the enforcing' officers still assumed the attitude, of police officers. However, since 1920 a different attitude has , been - no ticeable among : the officials In charge of enforcing milk ordin ances. This is very nicely shown by the tact that certain Califor nia cities are now designating Its milk control officials as dairy Instructors Instead of milk in inspectors. The City of Stockton la one such, example. They have the attitude now more of In structors to Inform the producer how to produce the milk and handle it before it gets to the plant, then to Inform the plant manager bow to handle the milk previous to delivery, and finally to hel the publlo by lnformi&s them how best to keep milk af ter it Ii delivered. It has been found that more Is accomplished in a shorter time to Improve the mCk supply by this attitude than by the old "force Idea. In other words, it Is an educational pro position based upon the recogni tion of the fact that most dairy men do not Intentionally deliver a mCk ct latpurequallty, and al so based cn t-S policy that run-in'st-slsl bo csUl c-t r-tAir, Dl 1IO i a . aj Lai i-i l j y sfw MM--M "FOREST LOVE" gfyfc CHAPTKU I.

It waa applied principally to the place of the Jo seph Gervsis house, where . the "wolf meeting" was held, but no gravel la there now. and very likely none was there when tho first white people came, even on the river bank.

Salem was named when or about the time It was platted; In 1850, and In fact North Salem was platted before Salem was, and there were two Salem plats filed. both claiming the name: the Dr. W. H. Wlllson plat of 1850, and the J. B. Meciane plat, to what was called "the Island" or Boon's Island, lying a few blocks north of and along North Mill creek and west of the extension of Liberty street, which was (and Is) called Broadway. To be exact, the North. Salem plat was filed February 15. i860, tne piar of Salem oroner March 21 of the same year, and tho plat of tho Salem of J. B. Mc Clane January S. 1251. Tha Me. Clane 8alem was partly described as lying between North. Salem and Salem. But McClane claimed that his town waa the true Salem; and It waa the original town, and then had most of tho business and buildings. The name Salem did not satlafr everybody.
