E. Otjen, Contractor"" 1.5 Million Christmas Tree Harvest Forecast in State Oregon's 1958 Christmas tree harvest will reach 1.500,000 trees, State Forester Dwight L. Phipps reported here Saturday. - He said this would represent a $1,000,000 income to the grower and three times that amount on the retail lot. Phipps said harvesting has been under way for sometime at the higher elevations where the early .snows drive the cutters out of the woods. Harvest in the lower eleva tions is just getting under way, he laid. Oregon trees, according, to Phipps, find a ready market in California and the Hawaiian Is lands but' only a limited number are sent to the far east because of competition from the Rocky Mountain areas . and the Lake alates. "The Christmas tree harvest is becoming an important fall indus try in Oregon", the forester said. He said stumpage values have In- Powers For Shut-ins GJieeriesl- Prescription Ever Written Salem's Mdsf DrfTfncTtvtr Florist I II PHONE 44841 1210 S. Com1. creased year after year and the commercial dealer has been find ing it difficult to find stumpage. "Phipps warned against trespass and pointed out that the tree cut ter is required to obtain a permit from the state forestry depart ment or federal rangers. Each permit gives the description of the iand from which the trees are to be removed and the name of the land owner. "During the tree harvest forest ers will be on the watch for tres pass and will check on the various permits where cuttersare ' lo cated", Phipps said. v , State police have been requested to cooperate in- this activityi Bernard E, (Ben) Otjen, 76, a native ot Marion County and- long in the excavation and grading business here, died Saturday at his home, 818 E.

Long Record The building was vacated April 6, 1953, by the Statesman when it moved into ttr present new quar ters at North Church and Cheme keta streets. The Statesman had been published at the old -building since 1918. Business heart of Salem was centered at the Ferry-Commercial street' corner when brothers Wil liam K. and Joseph S, Smith com pleted the building in 1860 on the lot which they purchased for $1, 500. The Statesman was then being published in a building at the southwest corner of State and Commercial streets. Meanwhile first occupant of the new building was the Smith bro thers drug store. Later Joseph Smith became a U.S. Representa tive from Oregon. . Stale Office 1 From the 1860's to about 1878, when the new 'state Capital was being completed the building housed the governor, state library and supreme court. Across Ferry street the new Holland- Building, razed in 1951, housed the state leg islature and other state offices. Owner L. F. Grover was govern or and had his offices in his own building for many years. He' re signed and gained the U. S. Sen ate In 1877 The city post office occupied the main floor corner from 1874 to, off and on, 1890. Several Changes The building traded hands sev eral times and often was under divided ownership. Around the turn of the century the Capital Journal was published there. In 1903 a saloon whiskey sign was painted out of the Ferry Street wall and the Women's Christian Temperance U n I n Imoved into the north-one-third Of the building. The Statesman newspaper and the building finally came together in 1918 under publisher R. J. Hend ricks. The north one-third of the building was not used by the pa per until the composing room ex panded on the second floor in 1940 and the circulation department on the street floor in 1947. . Charles A. Sprague, Statesman publisher and principal stock holder since 1929, was the second Oregon governor to own the build ing. The building antedates by sev eral years several other old struc tures in Salem. " " 'i ' L-l These include Reed's Opera House (now Miller's store build ing), Ladd k Bush Bank and the Chemeketa House (now Marion Hotel) all constructed in 1869, the old state Capitol which burned in 1935 and the old Marion County courthouse, razed several years ago, both erected in 1876.
