there are thousands of acres in theso

been turned, yet the crops which are In

Western Kansas and Eastern -Colorado
w erf also very much "afloat" recently,
and train service was seriously Inter
fered with. IId you see any Salemltes
on yoar rounds?"
Yes. I found Burt Hasher nicely lo
cated In Chicago In the practice of law
and; with splendid prospects. Also met
Dr. ;IJ. F. Lane, of Salem, In Chicago,
and find that he arrived home,' some
what In advance- of myself. Met Mr.
C A. Park.-also. In Chicago. He has
since gone farther Cast.
"In Philadelphia I was fortunate In
finding Dr, J. . W, Thomas, of Salem,
who ha Just graduated from Jefferson
Medical College .also jClarence Biahon,
wno nas just completed his third year
In the Textile '.School. Spent a very
profitable day with the two boys, and
when I left them felt like 'breaking
home ties" again. Sclem may well be
proud of such young men as thes.e for
their aswoclatea In their respective col
leges are proud of the- 'Oregon delega
tion.' j. ' '" ... .
"In Washington I had but , a few
hours, and saw Mlsg Metta Davis, who
is in the .War and Navy Department;
and Mr. Alfred SchmWM of Turner,"
who Is In the Congressional Library.
I had not, time to get around to the en
tiro Salem colony. i .' ' . 7 s r ; v i
"hnt 'did I see of Interest in the
cities?",'. ' , ":
"St. Louis, with Its big fair prepara,
tlonr; Chicago, with its laundry strike.
anj other labor troubles. Ita factories.
Its Ktnoke, and its noisy streets: .the
fails at Niagara, which I cannot
describe; the Decoration' Day exercises
in New York, participated In by Gov
entoi odell. Mayor Lowe, and other
equally prominent men, while. In Phil
adelphia and Washington the historic
landmarks and public buildings were
thd chief attractions.
"Anything further about - good
roads T' '
'Nothing In particular, though the
St Louis convention has left a splen
did Impression of tle genuine interest
tli.it is being arourtel everywhere. 1
ani conviii-ed that the. Willamette val
ley has as good natjirnl conditions as
can be found anywhere for the build
ing of splendid roads for her foII drains
w'll. and is not so gummy and mucky
nstin many dher sections of the coun
try.-. , .
fVoH ask how SIpiii compares wlh
othef cities of similar sise? Possibly
Should not m.'i k comparisons along
this line, for I did not have opportu
nity of visiting many such places. One
thing I noticed was that most cities
of our size had a considerable amount
of; pavement, usually vitrified brick.
which seems to wear splendidly. As
to stores, must say that SaJem'a stores
in; all lines are most certainlv n credit
to her. Nowhere in similar cities did
I see better equipped and better kept
stores , or better selected, more up-to-
date stocks than In Salem: this In
mnny cities of considerably larger six.
?Did you look up the hop situation?"
fNo. I was watching constantly for
yeaft factories-that might enable me
to see great ba!e of raw Shops turned
into lea'en. but failed to notice anv. I
dfel not know where else to get posted,
so can't talk inelllgently along that
line.' ; ,
f'lf you have added automobiles to
your line w hat do you think of the fu
ture?" -' -: -,, . . E. r v.;
"Am convincetl that the time Is ra
pidly coming when they will be as com
pion as carriages on our streets, from
cne side of the country to the other.
Th cities are, filled '.with-, them, today.
Ii"?e firms are using them for truck
and delivery service. Bus and stage
i:nes. cab and transfer companies, phy
sicians, professional men of all classes,
besides the very wealthy class who are
using the magnificent tumoutts that
are sn largely pictured. The runabout'
types are seen In hundreds, and have
fit many a horse out of business, for
fhrrlr utility has been demonstrated,1
Vfh ss money savers, and as a conven-
i'TeF." he sakt. In closing, "I am glad
to be back In Oregon and Salem. The
fact Is there are but few localities that
are. so favored as the Willamette val-'
ley this ;year. While the spring has
len unusual, the crops are In the main
corning on splendidly. There seems to
be the ttsu.il volume of business under
Hay la nil lines, and th? peon? e a, re all
buy. The Ka stem people are looking
to the West more largely than : ever,
and the entire coast certainly has a
great future. ,-.,.?. ...
i ' lam glad I lire In Oregon."

i "In soliciting Insurance in this state,
it is violating the laws which have been
enacted for the protection, of the Inter

the people insurance In sound and re

and convenient rriethods for enforflng
the payment of 'claims and the fulfill
