Hendricks Tells Chamber
Of Early Times; Fears
Faith Lacking Now

. ...
More People There Than Any Time Since Lahor Day
Seawalls, Wharves, Some Houses Hit
Sketches of early Salem and
developments within his 51 Mi
years here were presented by R.
J. Hendricks, for more than 40
years editor and manager of The
Statesman and now editor emeri
tus, to the chamber of commerce
luncheon assembly 'yesterday
noon.
Hendrick was introduced by C.
P. Bishop, another veteran resl
fdent of the city, who credited
Hendricks with saving the Thom
' as Kay woolen mill to Salem aft
"er the disastrous fire before 1890.
Hendricks touched upon this fire
also, telling how the townspeople,
then less than 3000 in number,
raised a 20.000 subsidy for the
mill, thus insuring it to the la
tere. "I don't believe you could raise
a 20,000 subsidy here now,
though the people are 'Just as
good as they were then and there
.are many more of you," Hend
ricks declared, to add that he felt
this to be due to an unfounded
lack of faith in the future.
Recalls Some "Firsts"
Some historical bits from his
talk: ! J t
On January 1, 1888, was driven
tho first RTiike for the first street
railway, powered by horses and
mules. The spike went in on the
west side of State and Commer
cial. The first street paving came in
1907 at the southwest corner of
Commercial and Chemeketa.
There were no typewriters and
no stenographers in Salem when
Hendricks came; he and Joe Al
bert owned the first typewriters.

and comfortable homes.
The old elevated bicycle was
.. nnt so vpars aeo. and

the present day model coming in.
A bicycle path from Salem to
Aurora- was in use.
IVrry Until 1886
The first wagon bridge across
the Willamette was built in 1886
prioif to that time a ferry was
used. Two bridges have been
built since.
Th first cannery was bum
near the first wagon bridge and
is ndw .the California Packing
corporation property. R. S-. Wal
lace, father of Paul Wallace, was
active for both bridge and can
nery. '
The first "black top' streets
went in in 1907, a three-block
job; now Salem has nearly 150
lineal miles of pavement.
Hendricks recalled that he
made some of his bitterest enem
ies as an editor when The States
man urged a departure frc-m the
pioneer custom of letting pigs,
cows and poultry run ai large.
He pointed to Salem's histori
cal importance as the center of
the beginning of settlement west
or the Rockies through arrival
here in October. 1834, of Jason
Lee and his missionary party.
Many hundreds of people Jour
neyed to the coast Sunday to ob
serve the damage done by the
storms of preceding days. The
ocean was still turbulent, with
waves rolling high and the sun
churned with foam. The wind had
subsided so the day was calm and
visibility rood until late after
noon when rain began falling.
At the mouth of Devil's lake
mm9 foam was piled back of the
driftwood like drifted snow. At
Nelscott the worst aamage was
done along the ocean front. The
pounding waves of Saturday tore
out portions of the seawall and
tossed logs and timbers against
many houses and yard walls of
rubble. Most of the houses escap
ed much damage, but two or three
were harmed considerably. Huge
logs and timbers were left in
yards on top of the seawall.
At th month of fillets bay near
Taft a considerable field of float
ing logs and debris could be seen,
waves tossing the logs like tooth
picks as they rolled in.
The ocean was choppy in De
poe bay, and inside the little cove
behind the bridge the stairway
and little wharf where deepsea
boats land, had been washed out.
Eating houses along the coast
were overrun with business Sun
day, which was quite unexpected.
It was the heaviest , Influx since
Labor day. Many who own houses
along the coast were concerned
over possible damage and under
took to set things In order where
damaee was found. Other were
attracted by reports and desirous
of seeing the ocean during a win
ter storm. On Saturday when
most of the damage was done
visibility was poor because of the
rain and clouds.
