10 THE OKEGON STATESIkiAN: FRIDAY, ' JANTTAliY 7. 1887 SALEM'S INDUSTRIES. 0?er 150,000 Dollars Paid in Wages Annually. INTERESTING STATEMENT. The Extent, Character and Somber of the Industrial Institutions of Salem, Few things throw a better or a clearer light upon the actual condition of a com m unity than a tabulated statement of tha varied industries carried on within its limits. Wherever men are congregated in municipal organizations, the measure of their prosperity in accurately ganged by the existence among them of the trades and industries which give employment to the skilled as well as the unskilled labor er. Where the workers in iron and brass and tin and wood and textile fabric and grains find work for their hands, it may be set down as a fixed fact, that the growth of the community and its develop ment, while it may be slow, Is fixed and certain. In one sense of the word, it may be said that Salem does not lay claim to the title of a manufacturing center. On the other hand, we think the intelligent reader of the following columns of facts and figures will be willing to admit that the city makes a most creditable show ing. Ia drawing conclusions from what follows the reader is requested to bear in mind that Salem, like the rest of the Wil lamette valley, and as an integral part thereof, has for several years been suffer ing from Industrial reverses, the result of the peculiar system of agriculture which has prevailed almost ever since the set tlement of the valley. Wheat has been an almost exclusive staple. While it found a ready market at $1 to $1.10 per bushel money was far plentier and the demand for all the products of mill, forge and foundry was far greater than at pres ent; and it is altogether probable that there have been years in the history of Salem, when the population was not more than two-thirds of its present number, when the wage roll was largely in excess of that of 1806. With wheat at 65 cts. it need hardly be said that almost every branch of industrial enterprise feels the depressing influence of such a condition of affairs. It remains only to be said that there is every reason to believe that brighter days are about to dawn on this section. The cultivation of fruit of merchantable quali ty, fit both for export and for local can ning establishments ; the transformation of large tracts of poorly cultivated grain fields into "fat pastures" for the raising of beef cattle and blooded stock . and the establishment of successful creameries and cheese factories ; the inauguration in snort, of aiverameu tanning on an intel ligent scale, are movements, the necessi ty of which is beginning to take hold on the popular mind. When this comes to pass the increase in population and the corresponding increase in demand will revivify the now dormant industries, lan guishing for lack of support. The exten sive plants of machinery ready for opera tion, will set all these wheels turning and the wage roll of Salem, it may reasonably be supposed, will be doubled if not quad rupled. Let one more thing be borne in mind in scanning the following wage roll; It does not include the sums paid to hundreds of clerks and book-keepers in our commer cial, insurance and banking institutions, nor the large nmber in the employment of the numerous state institutions which are tributary to the prosperity of the city. Nor the tens of thousands paid out during the past year for work on the Ft ate house. The showing made below is, all things considered, a favorable one ; and should afford encouragement to every citizen : , Salem Flol-rixo Mills Co Incorpo rated April 11, 1870.

It will le seen from the foregoing that almost all the trades, forge, foundry, mill and the minor industries ujon which civilized society depends for comfort and convenience, are well represented in our flourishing little city on the Willamette. This necessarily imperfect review of the "situation" from an industrial stand point is, as before remarked, full of en couragement to the citizens of Salem. RTRICKLER BROS. Dealers ia to. Tlaware and General Jobbers Tin Roofers.

The firm constantly keens on hand a full and plete stock of tinware, and stoves at 219 Commercial street. Repairing is made j a specialty. I NECE0L0GICAL. Record of Burials in Our Thre Cemeteries. THE CITIES OF THE DEAD. Additions to their Silent Population The Three Cemetaries of Salem. Salem has three cemeteries. The first and largest is the L O. O. F. cemetery, a mile and a half south of the business portion of the city. It occupies a beau tiful elevated position, overlooking the city and commanding a view of the val ley and the Cascades with their minarets of snow. The cemetery is well cared for, and contains some beautiful monuments, and there rest some of Oregon's truest, bravest and best men and women who have joined the silent majority beyond the divide. The Catholic cemetery is just beyond and further south, and is a beautiful spot among the silent trees that seem to bow in sacred prayer over " God's acre." The Lee Mission cemetery is located a mile east of the city. It is the oldest burying ground in Oregon, and here lies in eternal rest the first white woman ever buried within the borders of the state. It is conducted by the Methodist denom ination. I. O. O. F.

McF.; Pat ton, an old resident of Sa lem, who had recently returned from Ja pan, where he had been sent by Presi dent Arthur as U. 8. Consul, purchawd the stock at receivers sale. . Mr. Patton has remodeled thti htore, and made it very attractive in apiar ance the old stock which was oh hands at the time of purchase has len dis posed of, and new goods substituted. During Mr. Patton's visit to the Eastern cities in October last, a very large and choice selection of books and fine ntation- ery was purchased, which has been fur nished to his customers at prices hereto fore unknown, in Salem. His line of blank books, miscella neons books, fine stationery, gold pens, st rap books, autograph and photograph albums are complete; also sheet music and musical instruments, school books and school supplies of all kinds. Full line of Fairchilds, Mabie Todd and Fabcra gold ens, and Cross & Holland stylograph pens are also in stock. Mr. Patton is assisted in the store by Mr. F. S.

During the year just dosed, the total value of "considerations" apearing on the face of deeds filed with the county clerk was $610,3i5 14.

However, this amount, it u safe to say, will show conclusively that th- real estate market has not been stag nant during tlie past year, and the valua tion of the exchanges shows a healthy state of that nurket in this county.
