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.

considered, a favorable one ; and should

The following, while not to be cnoeid
ered manufacturer, yet are "jocken,"
and may properly be considered in this
lint :
Kyi ire Farrar & Co In their fruit
packing establishment, give employment
to from five to twenty iwrwons during
about three months of the year, (the
fruit season) and their annual jay roll is
about $2,000. During 1886, they chipped
about 23 car load of green "fruits, of
which 8,000 bushels were apples, anil
2,500 ttushels were pears. Plums and
prunes comprised the principal balance.
pork packers.

tons.
Stewart A West Estimated product,
five tons.
Gilbert A Patterson Seventeen and
one-half tons.
D. C. Howard, 60 tons.
K. C. Cross Forty tons.

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.

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. Cemetery. W. B. Slmpaon,

THOS. MCr. PATTOS.
Tta;CIty liook Store f8. State trr-t, Sur
ccuor to II. 1. Iloou.
The City Book store was lirnt ojened by
II. D. Boon in 1874 and was conducted
by him until July 18So when Hon.
T. 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. Dearborn, who has had several vears'
experience with one of the leading whole
sale book and stationery dealers on tlie
Pacific coast, and takes great pleasure in
showing the fine lines of goodn carried in
stock. Mr. learborn as chief salesman
is assisted by Mr. Patton's two Bonn,
which guarantees to customers prompt
attention and courteous treatment. Mr.
Patton is one of the ablest business men
in Salem, and his business qualifications,
coupled with his well-known integrity,
will secure for him a large and remuner
ative trade in his line.

REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.
Number and Value of Deeds Recorded
by the County Clerk each
Week d urine: HU16.
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. Of course, this
could not U set down as lowing the true
value of such transfers during the vear
as in a great many instances tlie full" con
sideration did not appear on the fac-e ot
the deed. 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.
Helow is given the number of deeds
tiled, together with the amount of the
consideration, as apparent on the face of
the deeds, for each week of the year, W
ginning with tlie week ending January 7.
