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.

VNT1L THE MO KUUW
Tve disappointed you. What do
you mean by that, Gordon?" said
Marta. "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."
