Marion County Has Most by
Wide Margin; 3726 in
1929 Says Census
Here is good news for the Sa
lem Cherrians who were so named
fa 1913 because Salem was then
known as "The Cherry City".
Marion county, in 1929, had
more farms reported as growing
cherries than any county in the
state and chances are, the figures
etlli hold good. Figures of t h e
,1930 U. S. census prove ft.
And here is something more of
good cheer for Cherrians. The U.
S. census reports 3276 farms in
i Marlon county growing cherries
In 1929 and that is a lot more
farms than reported by any other
county in the United States.
Of the SO leading cherry grow
ing counties in the United States,
with Marion ranking first In num
ber of farms reported, Westmore
land county, Pennsylvania, ranked
second with 2975 farms.
But the fact is, Door county,
Wisconsin, ranked first, accord
ing to the 1930 census in the
number of cherry1 trees, but that
county had only 4S9 farms report
ing, compared to 3276 for Mar
lon. Marion county ranked first in
cherry farms, due to the many
small tracts which are regarded
as farms in a U. S. census.
Polk county was credited with
1009 farms producing cherries in
19 29. The census gave Polk coun
ty 69,778 bearing cherry trees and
Marlon county, 71,399 bearing
trees.

With repeal of the prohibition
amendment centering much inter
est the past year on breweries
and their output, and with Salem
herself once more inhaling the
brewery exodus of barley, some
one calls to mind the inscription
on the tombstone of Maurice
Klinger. Said epitaph in part be
ing: He also built the first lager
beer brewery in Salem August 1,
1877.
This first brewery occupied
part of the Bite now in use at the
northeast corner of Commercial
and Trade streets. Klinger and
Beck operated the plant until
Beck died and Mrs. Beck bought
out the Klinger interests. In a
short period, 1903 to be exact.
Frank Deckebach, Sr., and Olym
pia brewery interests bought the
structure, did considerable re
modeling and enlarging, and con
tinued the operation until the
doom of wet goods in 1914. In
those earlier days the brewery
occupied a whole half block, ex
tending over to Liberty street.
Maurice Klinger also built the
first ice plant in Salem, in June,
1888, according to the record of
the tombstone. Klinger died, in
April. 1919. and is buried here.
Business Up
In Salem as
Year Closes
Salem's business year ended
with a Bwift advance over 1932,
bank debit Items complied yes
terday afternoon reveal. Decem
ber. 1933, debit items rose to
$10,257,398, an advance of 2.
349,480 over the $7,907,918
mark set in 1932, the poorest
Christmas season in a decade. Ac
cording to the chamber of com
merce which compiled the figures,
the December gain was 30 per
cent over 193 2. Bank debit Items
are held to be an accurate index
of business done.
The bank debit Items this
year increased steadly over 1932
after the early - year banking
debacle. Thus beginning with May
and each month thereafter, the
bank debit totals of 1932 were
exceeded.
As a result of this gain, the
year's bank debit totals went to
3107,103,000, compared to
3105,933,000 in 1932. That year
markedly exceeded 1933 In the
first four months; It dropped be
hind thereafter. ,
By December of this year, bank
debits here were 60 per cent as
large as in 1929, 65 per cent as
large as in 1930.
KIW11S DIRECT
Holy Land is
Near Size of
Valley Here
It may be of interest, to Bible
students, as well as others, to re
alize that Palestine, or the Holy
Land is about the size of the Wil
lamette valley.
In the book of Ruth, where ft
is related that Naomi and Ruth
left the land of Moab and jour
neyed to Bethlehem in the Judean
highlands, the impression given
is that this was quite a distance
and something of an undertak
ing. When Elimelech, his wife Na
omi and two sons left Bethlehem
on account of poor crops and
journeyed to the land of Moab.
they had only 15 miles to travel
before they reached the river
Jordan and then about 15 more
miles into the land of Moab,
where they lived 10 years.
Both of the sons married wo
men of Moab, one of whom was
Ruth. Elimelech died and also
the two sons. Naomi found i t
necessary to return to her own
kinsmen near Bethlehem.
In returning to her own folks
with Ruth, they traveled only 30
miles, about the distance between
Dallas ad Silverton, or between
Salem and Newberg by way of St.
Paul.

As one of Its annual objectives,
the Salem Kiwanis club took
charge of the formal opening of
the Silver Falls State park and
was successful in giving the event
such publicity, that the attend
ance was estimated at more than
10.000.
The program included an ad
dress by Leslie M. Scott, chair
man of the state highway com
mission and then a personally
conducted "tour by trail of the
nine falls in the park.
Success of the event was due
to the work of Willis Clark, pres
ident of the Kiwanis club and a
committee under the direction of
Dr. David B. Hill, cooperating
with the chamber of commerce.
According to Howard E. Hul
sey, Kiwanis president for 1934,
Kiwanians will again take charge
of an annual picnic, working
with committees rnder the direc

Breitenbush Mineral Hot

The morning of June 21 a lone

The state police were called and
the robber was caught in south

Friday, November 17, was the
day set aside by the P. T. A. for

There are 25 men at work now

This year there is the largest
enrollment of students In high

Drive to Silverton. On south'-
east to Silver Falls State Park,
stopping at the North Falls.
Then continue on to the big
South Falls and walk down, un

most wonderful view, standing
right at the bottom of the South
Falls and loop up. One famous
traveler said these falls seemed
almost like a fountain, when
viewed from below.
Then return to Salem by way
of Waldo Hills. The view of the
Willamette valley Is much more
Interesting when traveling to
wards Salem from the foothill
country, than If the trip to the
Park is taken In the reverse. The
view is more inspiring when look

from the high foothill country.
