m U , ME. i. ' ( 8 DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL. '"- "ECOX SATriWAV, AUGUST 25 1000. THE PRACTICAL SIDE OF THE CAPITAL CITY Salem Surrounded bv Rich Lands. Prolif ic Orchards, Odorous Hops, Billowing Gram fields and Breeze Swept Mead ows Has Also a Number of Manu facturing Plants iThat Add to Her Prosperity. u No doubt, nearly orcry adult per- balers, baskets, wire, spray, spraying eon and most of tbo school children machines, sacking, twine, and even In Halcm, If asked tbo question, J tho haughty printer gets n rake off "what are tho products of Marion county?" could giro a passably fair answer; but suppose In addition an other question should ho asked: "What amount of products do you ahlp, and what Is their value?" How many could even begin to an swer It? Yet this Is a matter that every Saloralto should bo well in formed about, for It Is one of tho first questions a visitor looking for a homo will ask. Tho stranger coming within our gates, sees a prosperous, thrifty city, of broad streets, fine business blocks, comfortablo homes, beautiful yards, a wealth of grconory and a riotous profusion of bee-wooing bloom Hoses that would put tho Vnlo of Cashmoro to shame. Latticed porches, whoro Jasmin, Virginia crcopor and Astoria flaunt their beauty, and revel over roof and gablo fragrnnt bowers of beauty. N'aturully ho Inqulros, "What makes possible those homes? Whonco comes tho money noccsaary to cronto those Ideal dwellings, and to support their occupants?" Every Hnlomlto should ho nblo to answer that question, and tho Jour nal offers n few foots that may aid Us readers In acquiring, and It hopes, retaining that Information for future t!S. The Journal has not gone Into tho matter deeply, it it will later, but ovoq Its superficial examination has adduced facts that most Salomltos do not know Tho hop nop U, as every ono known, tho groat mmiuy ylolder. Oregon last )oar produced about 1.0,000 balus of hops, and of these. one of the finest In the state, with a splendid ice plant, and all modern appliances. It is only recently that the company has begun reaching out for business, but is growing rapidly. Since April 27, 20 carloads of beer of S5 barrels each have been sent to one man In California and the product for the year 1906 will exceed 10,000 barrels. The C. K. Spaulding Logging Co , running its immense mill day and night is another source of Salem's wealth, and at the present time this company has in the Willamette, and on its way to the mill, twelve million feet of logs. The Capital flouring mills are run ning steadily, supplying local trade, and there are hundreds of other smaller Industries that in tho aggre gate bring to Salem a large amount of outside money The state institutions also bring considerable money to Salem, but it is far from being dependent on them, as our brethren of the pres3 so often twit us with. Thl3 article has grown far beyond tho length Intended, but it might be added that Dan Fry has six carloads of Cascara Sagrada, chlttim bark, stored In Salem right now, enough to furnish all the United States, some parts of New Jersey and most of OTHERS HAVE CAR SHORTAGE Centralia Washington Claims Business is Paralyzed on that Account UNITED STATES SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA PRAISES PE-RU-NA.

For some time, it is said, the rail way company has been shipping un loaded empty cars from the town, after they had been shipped in to the local merchants. This has greatly annoyed the millmen and a recent or der prohibiting the setting out of gondolas at Centralia was the culmi nating stroke. Complaint followed to the Commercial club and a special meeting was called. It was the sense of the meeting that If cars were shipped here with loads consigned to local merchants, they should be reloaded in Centralia and not shipped to the harbor and South Bend branches of the Northern Pacific. Information has been given to the different members that dis criminating orders against Centralia have been sent out and the oinh proposes to havo this matter carried up to the state railway commission If they are not at once rescinded. A committee of Investigation was an- pointed to secure evidence and infor mation of the discrimination against the city. The car shortage at Centralia is becoming Intense. The Centmiin Shingle Mills company has asked for 125 boxcars with little prospect of getting them. The Eastern Railwav & Lumber company, the H. H. Martin Lumber company, the Salzer Valley Lumber company, all needd about the samo number of cars, while the Wil son Coal company desires seven or eight gondolas evory dav and the company tins Issued an order that practically shuts the mills down, n thoy can secure no equipment at all. ihe J. E. William company Wed nesday laid off its crew on ncount of of the car shortage, nnd the other mills are considering the same nrtinn ns it is Impossible to secure enough shipments to pay expenses. Centra lien's existence is almost dependent upon speedy relief from the car shortage, nnd the most strenous ac tion is being taken to call the North ern Pacific's attention to the condi tions oxUtlng at this point. MARKET QUOTi TIONS TODAY 1 Ex-Senator M. C. Butler. Dyspepsia Is Often Caused By Catarrh cf the StemathPeruna Relieves Ca tarrh of the Stomach and h Therefore a Remedy For Dyspepsia. Hon. M. C. Butler, Ex-U. S. Sen ator from South Carolina for two , terms, in a letter from Washington, j D. C.i writes to the Peruna Medicine I Co., as follows : f ' can recommend Peruna fori dyspepsia and stomach trouble. I have been using your medicine fori a short period and I feel very much I relieved. It is Indeed a wonderful medicine, besides a good tonic." CATARRH of the stomach is the cor rect name for most cases of dys pepsia. In order to euro catarrh of tho stomach the catarrh must be eradicated. Only an internal catarrh remedy, such as Pernns, is available. Peruna exaatly meets the indications.
