LORIOUS MARION COUNTY itiancial Condition is First Class and Revenues for Improve ments are Large """ - Following was presented for Marion I havo nearly $37,000 to bo expended on ! county to tho Development convention March 23: "Whatever can bo said of this, the second largest county in the state, is equally applicable to Polk and Yam roads, bridges and improvements. The amount expended on publio schools this year will be about $G4,000 of county funds. Tho assessed valuation for 1904 was $10,373,830, exceeding hill counties of which tho city of Sa-jany other county in tho state except lem and the capital of the state forms tho commercial metropolis. As these counties aro represented in this con vention and will speak for themselves, mero statements of .fact will bo con fined to, Marion county. This county enjoys tho distinction of having tho best business nnd finan cial managemont. There is no county indebtedness, either irt thv form of warrants or bonds nnd this has been tho case- for a number of years. On March 1, 1905, there was cash in tho treasury amounting to $63,338.12. The current revenues for tho year, 1905, will amount to $83,834.15 for county purposes. Deducting tho estimated current expenses of $47,000, wo would Multnomah. Tho current expenses for tho year 1904 wcro $44,752.27 smaller thatuthrco other counties. While Ma rion county is second largest county in wealth nnd population, it is only tho fourth in current expense, some of tho smaller counties costing as much or moro for local government. Six counties in tho stnto spend more for tho caro of poor whllo 11 counties in tho stato have a lnrger expense thnn Marion county for circuit court costs.

GINN & COMPANY, PabUshcrs Trade Department, 29 Beacon St., Boston Valley. It is estimated that within a radius of 25 miles nro grown two fifths of nil the hops produced in tho world. The same statement is proba bly truo of tho mohair nnd' prune crop so far as tho United States is con cerned. In available water powers and opportunities for manufactures tho three counHos of which. Salem is tho center aro -incalculable. Tho crops of small fruit that aro grown and shipped from this point are increasing annunlly and include all kinds of borrios and cherries. They can bo grown hero iu quality nnd quan tity and equal for cnnnlng nnd ship ping superior to any iu tho world. Tho annunl shipments of apples and pota toes and Cascnra bark amount to hun dreds of car loads. Tho entire pro duct of ono orchard was packed and handled last year by a Hood Hiver firm under their own famous labels. A largo undeveloped region of Marion county extending from tho Santiant river abovo Mohnma to Silverton is tho best adapted, region for growing high grado winter apples to be found in tho West today. Tho entire stretch of country from Scott's Mills to Falls City enst and west nnd from Jefferson to North Yamhill, north and south is a region without a parallel in productiveness whether it bo big red apples, big hearted and brniny men or radicntly beautiful flowers and women. From a climatic standpoint this region is blest boyond power of description-. To tho rich atmosphero of a region en closed by mountains, is added tho highly perfumed humidity of an ocean atmosphoro. Through a gap in tho const moun tain range come tho ozono-lpden, invig orating breezes of tho Pacific ocean. This is tho ideal place for any Ameri can to cnll his home. Hero aro the bridge across tho "Willamette river which stands at present. Tho remain' ing $145,000 of debt against this city is accounted for by , a city hall, tho substantial structure In which this de velopment convention is now assem bled, costing $70,403. This would leave a net city debt against tho capital of Oregon of $GS,G00. I tako tho position that this $6S,G0O is city debt which should not be in existonco becnuso tho only truo theory of conducting n city government is to keep tho current ex pense within tho revenue of tho city. I chum there nro fow cities of tho slzo of Salem that can innko a better showing in this respect. For tho past eight years this city has lived directly within its means. No new dobt has been created. In fncttsomo Indebted ness has been wipod out. I believe that is the condition in which wo should keep our city. Under tho chnrtcr we aro limited to tho 10 mill levy for cur rent expense nnd in my Inst message I recommended thnt a sinking fund be created to mnko provision for meeting all outstanding obligations. Tho sound development of our city depends upon not only living within our menns, but making provision for tho payment of every honest debt. Not Posted On Geography. "Oregon may havo some grccuhorns within her boundaries," writes Miss Emma Roberts from Boston to tho homo folks, "but they're not all in Oregon." Then she goes on to tell, in her comicnl manner, how, wlfilo in Chicago sho tM a lady that aho was from The Dalles, Oregon, nnd in turn was asked in "what part of Washing ton is Oregon shunted."

When wo nro Inviting immigration nnd offering inducements for tho invest ment of capital in our midst, wo should bo nblo to guaranteo thnt tho public revenues will bo intelligently admin istered and honostly accounted for. Wo can justly claim for tho ,city of Salbm not only a first class municipal system, but a sound financial condition. Tho city has a total dobt "of $220,181. De ducting $0181 of street bonds that havo been paid off thoro would bo left a not citv debt of $214,000. We must add to this, $27,050 of school district bonds, tho first of which nro not duo until 1901. This makes a total indebtedness resting upon this community of $214, 050. Estimating our population at 13, 000, which I bolievo la conservative, it would glvo us a por capita indebt edness of less than $10. Allowing the city of Portland to have 150,000 popu lation and counting up tho various forms of Indebtedness resting upon that community, wo find a per capita indebtedness for that population for thnt city to bo about $49. Cutting out tho debt of tho school district which is not properly chargeable to the city, wo havo a gross city debt of $214,000. Tho items which comprise this debt include an issuo of $30,000 for tho con struction of a bridge across tho Wil lamette In 1880. That bridge was washed a way and that item is propel ly chargeable to an emergency prop erly due to casualty caused by the ele ments. Another item of the city debt is $19,000 for sewer bonds issued in 1889 and for wbUh the city of Salem has had the uo of three sewers ever since. Another Hem of the debt was a second issuo of bridge bonds in 1800 of $20,000, vrhleh was our share In the cost of constructing a magnificent steel Tho Dulles Chronicle. FLETCHER'S CHILDREN CRY FOR OABTORIA. W v Bjfao h We&l! Stomach. A weak stomach is most fre quently,, caused by the over worked and exhausted ncrvoiis system. The power that runs the stomach is the nerve force sent to it from the brain through the nerves. When the nerves arc weak or exhausted the sup ply of energy is insufficient and the action of the stomach is impaired, and results in im perfect digestion dyspepsia. Dr. Miles' Restorative Nerv ine increases nerve force. It strengthens and builds up nerve tissue, gives vigor to the nerves and muscles of the stomach; this produces a healthy activity. Nervine allays the inflamma tion, heals the membranes, and makes the stomach strong and healthy. There is nothing that so quickly gives energy to the whole system as Restorative Nervine. "I can't Bay enough for Dr. Miles' Nervine. I don't know what It will do for others, but it certainly cured me of stomach trouble, and now I am ns well an I ever was. Two physicians failed to relievo me, but In three or four days after taking Ncrvlnd I was much relieved. Four bottles made mo a Bound man. at tho cost of $4.00." JAMES IS.
