SPRINGFIELD AND OPPORTUNITY
With the opening of the Natron cutoff thU
summer Springfield will become a better town
both for business and industry. The added
freight and mail facilities provided by the main
line railroad will in itself enhance the value of
existing business and industry.
Opportunities offered here for Industrial ex-
insion are great. We are not only offering free
dustrial sites but we are near to an abundance
of raw products and developed electrical power.
There is room and business here for auother saw­
mill. planing mill and other wood products plants.
Industrial agents of railroads tell us that a milk
condensary or a cannery could be located here if
the people of the community wanted it and would
Sign up sufficient patronage.
But with the opening of the railroad main line
through here these things will be easier to iand.
There is opportunity for development here as
great as any place in the Willamette valley—and
the greatest industrial expansion the Willamette
valley will experience is likely to come in the
next 10 years.

We frequently hear It said that the old-time Independent
spirit of the newspaper Is gone, that Its editorial policy
Is now subservient to the business office. Yet th<s 1« not
true There is more selfish Idealism In the average local
newspaper than In any other business enterprise
It
frequently speaks out in the way which If believe« will
be for the good of the nation and of the community, re­
gardless of what the consequences may be from a busi­
ness standpoint.
The local newspaper Is the principal booster for the
community, and It does Its boosting often without hope
of material reward. Unfortunate is the community which
neither appreciates nor supports Its local newspaper —
