These words) of . 'cheer and ' encouragement are ap-J predated, especially when members of the force remember the many difHeul- f tlejiof issuing sdeh an edition, and the painstaking care exercised in attempt ing to make It have a creditable ap pearance, worthy of the city and it? patrons. In 'such a ' volurinef of work, and In such a rush, this Is by no means an easy task. The facilities of the Str.teman are very complete for a city of Salem's size; in fact, there are few if any cities of the population of this one having a printing dffice as com plete as the one housed la the States man building. And yet. In such a rush. even more complete facilities' are de voutly-to be wished for because the regular work must not be slighted jvhile a publication of this kind Is beT ins prepared; and fHere Is a great deal of other work day Iri andday outj and .
