But her daughter did not despair, and finally located her mother.

Thia certainly means a great deal for Salen .In ,the way of added beauty for her streets. A mile of.ee- men( walks win reach around a good many blocks, even In this city of large blocks and wide' streets, i ' 5 . - The buildihfr and tmprovements going on at the ; present lime and projected for the future, are much greater;. than ever before In-the history of Salem. . Contractors In all lines of work find themselves completely swamped by the amount of work offered, and are unable to do all of the work offered them. Among the most busy men in the city are the cement walk - builders. J. P. Veach. ; one of the cement- walk con tractors, waa seen yesterday at i work on a cement gutter In front of the prop erty owned, by D. H, Pugh at 617 Win ter street. , ' This gutter reaches two thirds of the length of the block and is being built very large so as not to get clogged. Mr. Veach named numerous pieces of cement- work which he nad Just completed, and said he was to busy be could not attend ; to all of the cement work offered. He has just fin ished a cement, I walk in front of hhi home on ; Marlon street, near Whiter, and had added much to the appearance of the place by toa "1 pure white, fresh looking paiat. . The .next house, on the corner.- owned by J. H. Dunlap, la being remodeled and re7shingled. A new porch will also , be added and the house given a fresh coat of paint. J. P. Veach has just completed over 1400 feet of cement walk for Mr. Shunk near the East Salem school. He has also recently built walks for Mrs. Clark at 180 Chemeketa street, and has the contract for a wide walk for Mrs. Sam Hayden, just back of the Methodist church on -Church street. Mrs. Stahley Is having her cottage on Center and Cottage streets rebuilt and greatly enlarged, and when completed, it wllli be practically a . new house. Workmen were busy yesterday on the roof. Mrs. Stahley Intends to occupy the building herself. Miss Mabel James is building a neat cottage on her property on Winter street, which will be completed soon. Mr. J. Vanderboon Is the contractor. This house will probably be for rent and ir so will 'be eagerly sought for. Much Painting Deing Done. Not the least among the busy builders and beautifiera of the Capital City are the painters. They are finding all and more than they can do this beautiful weather, and there is .nothing which adds more to the looks of the city than to see the houses all. well painted in fresh, bright colors, and, at the rate painting Is now being done, Salem will soon be unexcelled In this respect. ,, Yesterday afternoon Painter Penton was busily engaged in beaatlfylng the Episcopal church, on Church and Che wieketa streets, by a fresh coat of paint and the interior has -recently been re painted, so that the neat building will new present fresh and new appearance. A cement walk has also been complet ed In front of the building and was dry ing yesterday. f-w- .. X;-,- The Constable house on-Court street, Mrs. Samuel Hayden's two houses 'on Ferry and Church streets, and Jp! Rogers two houses on High and Ferry streets, are among the latest dwellings to be renewed by a fresh coat of paint.. W. T. Stater Is having his elegant resi dence on Church and Cheraeketa streets Improved by a new coat of delicate green paint. , George C Will has let the contract for painting his dwellilng on Commer cial, and when finished it, will present an appearance f of snowy whiteness. The new dwelling being built by Chas. L. McNary. on Court street, la near In g completion, and painters were at work yesterday putting on the final touches of color on the building. J The color! . a. - . . - 1 scnemc on ims nouse is quite novel, and. to say the lease will be something Hew. '- "v. i ;v l : i.. -- ;, y John H.

C Epley has purchased a lot on Marlon street, between Liberty and High streets, and Has already laid' the cement foundation for a modern seven room cottage. - The doctor expects to have the house finished as soon as pos sible. . The new porch for the Werner Brey marr mansion on State street Is now In process of construction, and the cement pillars are already completed. Work la now under way on the ground where Shield's Park is to be lo cated on the corner of Commercial and Center streets, ahd considerable exca vating has already been done. ; " Numerous other Instances might be cited where building or Improving Is going on in different portions of city. all proving- that the greatest era of Im provement and progress In the history of the city is now in fun swing, i - The compromise arrived at by the house and senate : under which three 16.000 ton ships and two 13.000 ton ships will be added to the navy will give it twofleets of five vessels, one of the Connecticut tyre and one of the Maine GREATEST IN type.- - .. : ....

They -will stay'urttU they know thor oughly the needs and possibilitieel -of the property, and decide upon; the im provements nd .extensions that, ought to be made.; ., . . V.". ;, Among the first things, 1 If not the first thing they will . put the street railway system in thorough condition. They will, spare no necessary expense In doing; this, and they expect to go to work at once." Mr. Henry says he will do for the town all he possibly can. if he meets with a spirit of co-opera t Jon on the part of the people here. He ex pects to secure 'water power. In addi tion to th3 steam plant. He Intends to enlarge and Improve and extend as fast is there Is a demand for these things. A Costly Plant, From first to last, seme $230,000 has been - spent on . the- Salem plant and property. This plant paid 4 per cent -n the Investment last year, above ae tual expenses. This 4 per cent did not go into the pockets of the owners, how ever. It went into Improvements. The Owners have never had a cent out of it. It Is not probable that Mr. Henry paid nything like $250,000 for the property. That. is his business. But he will mrobably before long have that much money in it. or a great deal more. He pent $200,000 on the Tucson. Arisona. oroperty, and Tucson is not nearly as jood a town as Salem. . :;, t: , i His Predictions, ' Mr, Henry predicts that Salern will have a population of 20,000 people in ive years, if her. people will pull to gether as they should. He sees evl ience of stability:' and push here. In fact, things "look good" to him here, else he would not have invested so Heavily and become such a large tax oayer. . .'.-., While Mr. Henry Is not afraid of competition he Is used to it It would Teem .good policy to grve him a Chance for his white alley; to see what he Is rolng to do for , the' city, before invit ing competition nd thus crippling his efforts at the outset. That the operation of this property y a practical man; who expects to re main in that line of business, will be better for Salem than Its operation by v banking concern, not interested in the, property except incidentally, nor in the city either, goes without saying. German investments In Brasil are laid to aggregate more than $150,000,000. The army of 66,000 men costs the peo ple less than $X per capita 'per annum.

I have purchased the existing plants Of the Salem Light, Power A Traction Co., of your city, and as this property s supported by Income received-from you, it Is due you that a statement be made by m'e ffi reference to the future opra'tlons of this property. ' I realize that for the next few years with the vast amount of improvements necessary, this property will realize but little , on i the Investment With the steady growth of your city, new exten sions additions, etc must be constantly made, at large expense. In order to ren der the service to which you are Justly entitled. Having for a ; number of years been engaged In the. operation of electric plants, ! have no hesitancy In asurlng you that I am capable, financially aad every other, way, of carrying out lines of Improvement in keeping, with the growth and advancement of your com munity I am therefore willing to wait for profit on the present Investment. So that you may know that the rates that will be charged In the future f- electrlc lighting are not In any manner exorbitant.

The charee to vour cltv l- but $71.40 per annum for each city arc light, a price much lower than any of the above Cities. As to incandescent lighting I find dur ing- the limited time I have had of In- I estigaiion. that the average is 20 cents ! per 1000 volts, with much less liberal which rate is 15 cents per 1000 volts, discount .than you have here at Salem, wth discounts of from 5 per cent up to 23 per. cent, I have been Informed - that ! parties have petitioned your honorable council for a franchise for the- purpose of dis tributing electricity to be generated at some point distant and outside of the taxable limits of your city, with the avqwed Intention of either trying to "hold up" the present lighting company which is paying In wages and taxes, large sums of money which in turn goes to the city and Its merchants, or utiliz ing such franchise purely for; speculat ive purposes. . ; The city can derive no benefit by the granting of this franchise, as the hold ers' of the additional franchise will place their power plant niny . miles away from Salem and will not contrib ute one cent towards the "prosperity of your cjty In this connection will say that it is a mistakeh, but common Idea that competition between two or more electric light companies effects Ut per manent reduction In rates. . Your rates now are as lowlf not lower, than any other city of Ita size similarly situated, and while cheap lighting may prevail for a time the Inevitable result Is a consolidation of the waning, companies no. matter how the franchise is drawn. and the rales are finally advanced to a much higher figure than prevailed with the one company In the field, with an amount alse added to pay for the loss entailed by the alleged fight, All of which cornea directly out of your pock ets. .- I come to 'you with clean hands and JPJBOJPZ&S Z2AHGAIN MMOUSJEr IPHces Tumtoii This Weeli'o EJIfi Sale W want the reader, of this advertisement to keep it 'orcm,nt.1" fh mind that whatever we advertise we have In our store to give y0.8"4'0.; them.
