Oregon An Independent Newspaper Published every evening except Sundaj Telephone 81; new hi GEOItUS PUTNAM. Editor and Publisher The Future Bright With record expenditures for new construction assured, with better than average crops predicted, with all of our industries in operation and others in prospect, the year 1925 promises a continuation of the steady growth and progress that Salem has enjoyed for the past six years. The era of agricultural depression is pausing, the tourist traffic is becoming an important asset, and new canning plants give assurance that increasing products of orchard and farm will find a market. The most important development of the year will be the establishment of a flax fibre plant, which if successful, will add a great textile industry to the valley. The project is frankly an experimental one and only experience will demon strale whether it will be successful, and whether or not, the flax we produce is all that is claimed. Conducted by conserva t;ve business men, who have been willing to risk their own capital, there is every assurance of proper management but absolutely no foundation for a premature speculative boom in which only promoters profit and the people foot the losses What Salem needs most of all, is new industries and to this end, every effort should be directed. Provide the pay. rolls, and the population automatically follows. 1'rovide home markets for products to make the farmer prosperous, and farmers from all sections will flock here. Salem is already the fruit and berry center of Oregon, but its development and growth should parallel that of San Jose, California, which is even nearer San Francisco, than Salem is to Portland, yet has become an attractive modern city of 50,000, independent of the metropolis and providing, with its many fruit processing plants and industries the payrolls assuring prosperity. San Jose markets annually 120,000,000 pounds of prunes alone, 450,000 tons of fruits, nuts and vegetables. It has u'J canneries, and a total of 73 manufacturing plants, yet its tributary acreage does not begin to compare with that sur rounding Salem, whose diversity of products is greater and in quality superior. In addition, Salem has the advantage of resources lacking to the California city, as well as being the state's capital. Some such agricultural, horticultural and industrial future as San Jose has realized should materialize for Salem in the cor ' 'g decade and it will provided our citizens pull to A her and work together unselfishly for the welfare of city and valley. The future is what we make it, and if we do not show our faith in our own city, we cannot expect others to show it. The Pope's Jubilee We read in the dispatches the other day that some 60,000 people had kissed the osts in the Vatican at Home from wi.ich the holy doors had been removed at the Christmas i: -uguralion of the Tope's Jubilee or Holy Year which is observed every 25 years, and during which Catholic pilgrims from all over the world visit Home to obtain indulgences for their sins, much as Mohammedans take the pilgrimage to Mecca. It is estimated that at least 2,000,000 will visit Home this year. The ceremony began when the door of the Basilica of St. Peters, through which the pope passed, was knocked down and carried out with all the magnificence of medieval times. The jubilee has been a feature of the church since l.'!00 when Tope r.oniface VII inaugurated it. Originally intended to be observed every hundred years. Clement VI in 13 13, shortened it to every 50 years, later it was cut to every 33 years and in 1 '70, Paul II abriged the interval to every 25 years. Often the celebration has been prevented by war and by political conditions and its celebration this year reflects comparative peace and prosperity in the world. Knocking down the door was inaugurated in 1500 by Alexander VI and a feature of this celebration was gilding of the roof of the church of Santa Marie Maggiore with gold brought from America by Christopher Columbus. Most of the great characters of medival history, such as Dante, Michelangelo, and Ignatius Loyola were attendants at the ercv vs oceuring during their life time. Holy year is a sacred festival to Catholics and it Is inter esting to the rest of the world, as the religious rites of all religion are, reflecting the survival of tradition and formula in the unchanging church.

"How have 1 disappointed you r I thought yon were different from other girls." "Why should I b different from other girls? I am a girl, and a very young girl at that." "I thought you were sincere. That was perhaps the reason why I believe you not only meant what you said, but I thought you were above trading your favors." "Gordon Flesher," exclaimed Marta, hurt and angry, "I'm sorry to say that I do not know what you mean. For the first time since I have known you, you are speak ing a language I don't understand. Are you trying to tell me that I'm not honest? and coating the bit ter pill by saying it is a falling of all girls?" "Well, I've known many girls, Marta, and I have found out that they just use a man for what he can do for them." "Stop! Stop, right here, Gordon! I'm not going to have real girls compared with the crowd of l-'reud ian flappers that you have been associating with lately. It is just because you havo known only that kind of a girl that you don't un derstand me. I know now why you say al that. It was because I was honest enough to confess that I didn't want to love you nor any one else Jurt now. 'Do you realize that I have real ly had no girlhood? Ev?ry one thought I was a child when they sent me to Miss Fp!haira school a few months ago. She expelled me without cause, and arriving home, I am hurled into a set of experi ences and conditions that make 1 me feel I have grown up over night. And, Gordon, doar." asain' Marta' voice took on a deeper, sweeter cadence, "not the leaat lm port ant of these experiences has been with you. "You say that yu have found out that girls barter their favors. That's a horrible thing to say, Gordon. I have fotinj out that men. although they have the wowt of reputations, may bo honorable and honest, and because I have found that out. Gordon, I am afraid. I am afraid to have yut arms about me. "Why, dear, do you know thnt hardly know myself and my own capabilities just yet. Give me a little time to learn to real rny own heart, my own soul, before you seek to plumb them." "M:trta, Marta. forgive me. Don't you realize that I love you? I am afraid, afraid to have you go away from me. I'm even afraid to havo you team the depths of your own heart and your own soul. for fear you will not find me there. Marta, don't go away dn't go away to school. These laat three days you have gone to bigger and more splendid school. Life lias been your teacher. 'I'll wait, I'll wait for you, dear, as long as you want me to; but. oh, don't go away from me. don't go away where I cannot see you every day; for now I have found you, I cannot give you up. 'Vou do love me just a little. don't you?" 'I think I do, Cordon, but I am not sure, and I want to be very sure. There are so many tilings that come into the married life of even the most loving to bre.ik up its harmony that 1 want to know that I could not live without you before I decide to live with you." I know it, Maria. I know it very well. I cannot live without you. Why, dear, if you should throw me over oh, well, what's the use? I can't tell you. It would seund aa though I were throwini myself upon your great pltyinf nympathy, "Let ma wait for you, Marta. Let me put a ring on your finger that will say to the world that some day I am going to claim my cwn." "I can't. I can't. Give me Urns to think it over. I do care for you. The very touch of your hand sendi thrills through my body, and can hardly meet your caressing eyes without wanting to go straight into your outstretched arms. But I must know if that Is really love. Take me home, now, Gordon. X see Mr. Klesher coming. I must talk to my father and mother to ntrht. I must find out from them if this that I feel for you is love. I must find out from them if love that they probably professed ta each other was a love that could carry them both through the tragic experiences which have cul- na'cd in the last few days, and still be real and true. "My mother tacitly promised me. when she left me at the hospital door tonight, that she would go to my father's room before she 1: to sleep. I hope that when I get there I will find all is right between them, that I will find that what I am feeling for you tonight is what my mother felt for my father tn the years gone by, when sh was young. If I do, Gordon well well- wait and trust mo until tomorrow." Tomorro.v More Than Money.
