Filtra Hon Plan t Si te Formerly Mill Pond La ter on Filled Up "Along in 1888 when I was driving a delivery wagon there was a mill pond at the spot where the Oregon-Washington Water company is excavating for their- new filtration plant," stated John Farrar, post- master, Friday who was thrown into a reminiscent mood by the progress being made in that part of the city. "The rock and -earth the big pow er shovel is removing from that place has all been hauled in there since the time when I as a boy of 15, In common with others, drove my horse and rig into the pond to wash the mud from the horse's belly as well as from the vehicle. We always did this in the evening after the day's work. Then wo would drive the animals to their stables. "This pond was formed from the backwater from a dam lower down the stream, while water from the mill race u poured into it, to be taken out at the downstream edge by a flume and used to operate the old flour mill, - .- , "A covered wooden bridge crossed the stream where the modern con crete structure now stsnds." "The old frame building which stood in the depression along Trade street and was used for a tool house by the water company for many years and which was recently torn down, was located where the Com mercial book store is housed now," the postmaster contlnuer. "My mo ther had a millinery establishment In the structure, while the family lived An the rear and upstairs of the building." During the course of the post master's conversation, he revealed the fact that as a youth he helped in moving many of the old time structures in Salem. Old Lausanne hall, which was torn down a num ber of yean ago to give way to the modem structure, was moved from a corner at Capitol and Court, Far rar assisting in the operation. He also helped in moving the original Breyman house which stood on the corner of Court and Church, to its present location at Chemeketa and Church and now occupied by the Fred Delano fsmily.
